EMMA SCHLOSSER— English Her modest looks a cottage might adorn, Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn. Bill ' s ever- ready smile and beauty has made her a coveted member by all class masculines. She was a member of the Motto Committee and had the role of Dolly in Dolly Reforming- Herself , and L. Sims in The Twelve Pound Look. Domestic Science is her best liked subject. She says she likes to eat candy, go sailing, and drive the Dodge, but dislikes very much to study and write notes? She intends to tour the East and West after leaving High School. WALLACE STOVER— English Talent creates a work; genius keeps it from dying. Pete. as he is always called, has something the most of us cannot claim — an unusual talent for cartoon drawing, which accounts for his office of Pennant art editor for four terms. He also has been president, treasurer and acted on the social committee of his class. Pete is an athlete, having- played varsity baseball and basketball in 1920 and 21. He also took part in the interclass basketball games and was on the second football squad of 1919 and ' 20. His likes are consistent with his activities — athletics. Pete intends to take a post-graduate course in Elkhart High School and then he will enter the Chicago Art Institute where he will prepare for a very promising future. MILDRED BERGER O, blessed with the temper whose unclouded ray Can make tomorrow more cheerful than today. Milly is always associated with a giggle or a big smile. She entertained the class most royally a couple of times during its four years of school life. Milly says she likes Doris and Bill , eating and driving- to Goshen with the gang about as well as anything- that she knows of, but she tried to tell us she did not like the boys. During - her four years of school she was vice-president of the II B class, served on the II A social committee and on the Will committee. She made her first appearance on the stage as leading lady in How the Vote Was Won. Milly intends to enter North Western College next year and have a grand and giorious time. HAROLD PLATT — Commercial He only who is able to stand alone is qualified for society. Harold is our class president and also held this office as a IID. He has been class treasurer as a IC, on the Social committee as IIC and IA, and also on the Invitation committee. Harold displayed his dramatic ability when he acted the role of Ned Grayson in The Colonel ' s Maid. He helped on the baseball team while a Junior. Zoology has always been his favorite subject in which an E is always forthcoming. His likes are skating, swimming-, dancing and tennis but he refuses to love girls with bobbed hair. As a classmate Harold has always been one of the foremost to promote the interests of the class and we sincerely wish him the best of luck when he enters Chicago University next fall. DORIS HUSTED— English Let the World Slide. Dody is an easy-going- sort without a care in the world, and always looks on the bright side of things. She was secretary while a IID, member of the Social committee IB and IIA. She was given the role of Julia Carol in The Colonel ' s Maid, and was a suffragette in How the Vote Was Won. She says she likes exciting B. B. games, writing notes, and Millie and gossip, but dislikes politics ami rehearsals. Studying up on Mental Telepathy is her hobby. When asked what she intends to do in the future, she replied, See the world. Our best wishes, Doris. Eighteen

WAUFERD PICKRELL— Industrial A heart to resolve, a head to contrive, and a hand to execute. As a willing- worker, Pick has often been called upon to help the class out of many difficulties. His careful management of finan- cial affairs has been displayed in bis work as treasurer of the gradu- ating- class. During bis high school career he has worked on the Social committee and was the instigator of the old clothes movement which prevailed for some time in Elkhart High School. In 1920 Pick went out for track in which sport he has always taken a great inter- est. Skating, cut-outs, and certain underclass girls form bis chief likes while he ruly dislikes getting up in the morning as well as going to bed at night. Next fall will find Pick at Purdue preparing for bis life work as a landscape designer. FERN RUSSELL— Commercial Those things which are not practical Are not desirable. Funny came from Benton Harbor two years ago and since then has won her way into many hearts with her pleasant smile and modest ways. She has also won fame in typewriting and short-hand, getting several certificates in these subjects and winning many E ' s in other subjects. She served on the Senior Banquet Ticket com- mittee. She states that she likes her chum, Wienie, the Z.T.A. ' s, office work for Mr. Rowe. football and basketball games and most everything except Economies, and that she dislikes in big letters. After graduating she intends to have some good times, then hold down a chair in some office, try court-reporting and then — who knows? URSA WALKER The mildest manner and the bravest mind. Ursa did not join the class until in bis Senior year, but in his last year he was one of the most active fellows in the class, attending all class parties. Although not very prominent in athletics he was one of the best players on Senior Interclass team of 1920-21. He was also a member of the 1920 track squad. THELMA MERKLING— English The mildest manners and the gentlest heart. Thilmy came to us in our Junior year. She is a very quiet, modest girl, who has minded her own business so much that few of the class have been able to get acquainted with her. Those who know her well can testify as to her agreeable and amiable disposition. She likes music, art and reading, but dislikes studying and the boys. She intends to take up mechanical drafting after leaving high school. KENNETH BOtC E— English Life would be disagreeable if it were not for its pleasures. Runt came to our class at the beginning of the Senior year. He was on the Picture committee and reporter for the Pennant IIA. Mathematics is his specialty. He says he likes to argue with LeMaster and dislikes South Bend. We wonder why. Runt says he hasn ' t decided anything for the future. Nineteen
