HARRIETT H E RRO L D— I ndustrial She is pretty to walk with Witty to talk with And pleasant too, to think on. Harrie has always been Johnny on the spot whenever there was work to be done or a good time to be had. She always went to the class parties and helped the fun along . During the four years of school she was secretary of the IIC class, on the IB and IA Social committee and on the Announcement and Card, and Senior Banquet Eats committees. She says that her favorite like is swimming but she also likes shrimp wiggle and to serve at football dinners. She simply detests to write up note-books and eat cocoanut. Her one ambition is to be a thoroughly successful interior decorator. We all hope her ambition is realized. JOE WEAVER— Commercial I dare do all that may become a man; who dares do more, is none. Joe is one of those seemingly quiet fellows but an acquaintance proves that he is full of the right spirit. He has served as the IC vice-president and on the social and picture committees. As an athletic Joe, in 191b, received a monogram for football on the second team. Strawberries seem to rank highest among his likes while he claims a decided dislike for Commercial Law. Joe has been specializing in commercial subjects and intends soon, to take up the Study of Commerce. DOROTHY OSBORNE— Glory is like beauty: It is heightened by modesty. Dot , although never holding an office in school, has always been on the sidelines ready to do her share. She is another one o the famous blondes in the class. Dot dislikes very much to gossip?, hurry or wash dishes but declares she could spend all her time dancing ' , traveling , or going to the movies. She made her first appearance on the stage in the play How the Vote Was Won. She intends to some day become a dancer in the Follies. We all wish her the best of success and hope we may see her at the height of her fame. MARK MONTEITH Erich , as he is generally known, was never present at many of our class parties but always showed a particular interest in ath- letics of all kinds. In fact he played for several years on the baseball teams of the school, also on the football squad. Ot present he is employed by Godfrey Conveyor Company. ARLENE PETERSON— English Sweetly and stately, and with all the grace of Womanhood. Arlene. sometimes known as ' Red because of the attractive brightness of her hair, says that she dislikes red hair, conceited people, oysters and dish-washing ' , and she likes dancing 1 , movies, eating ice cream, and pretty clothes. She was suffragette in How the Vote Was Won. She intends to attend Fine Arts at Chicago next Fall. Twenty

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

EDGAR SHEPHERD— Latin Some men were born to do great things; others merely to eat. Skinny is our fat man. He is ever present at all parties and he always manages to be around the Eats . During his term as Social Committee chairman we noticed at all social gatherings we had a good feed and Edgar was always the last to finish. He has been slinging hash t Tom Keeth ' s restaurant and we sorto feel sorry for Tom. They say fat people are always jolly and Edgar is every bit that. Here ' s wishing you success in the future. NELLIE PHYLLIS MOLL E N H O U R— Commercial Keep your face always toward the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you. Nellie, sometimes Hiram , is a most capable, likeable and sen- sible girl. She was on the Social committee while a IID. IC. IA and was chairman of the Social committee while a IIA. She was also on the Pin and Ring committee, Flower and Color committee and Thanksgiving Banquet committee. As a staff typist she surely has plaved her part. She played center on the vasity B. B. team during her Junior year. She was given the role of Marjorie Byrd in The Colonei ' s Maid. Nellie says she intends to be a stenographer always trying to advance. She likes canoeing, candy, dancing, and most everything, and dislikes cooking, sewing, carrots and dish-washing. She ' ll get over the last in time, won ' t she, boys? BILL STEPHENS— Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Bill made a hit with everyone the minute he entered the doors of E. H. S. His popularity is shown by the many offices he held, which are: Athletic editor, business manager, president IA class, president Qui Vive English club, football representative 1920. and sargent-at- arms of Senior English club. He showed his dramatic ability in L,e Vovage de Monsieur Perrichon as Monsieur Perriehon, and in The Colonel ' s Maid as Bob Rudd. Bill proved quite an athlete, getting an E in baseball, football, and basketball in 192 . But he also has time for other things, as is shown by the fact that he likes nice girls and specializes in one thing — love. The only dislike he seems to have is raw oysters. After graduation Bill intends to become a serious business man. MILDRED BITTINGER — Commercial Thogh lost to sight, to memory dear Thou always will remain. Billie . though small, was nevertheless mighty in all school affairs, holding some office most of the time. She served on the Social committee when a IID and IC. president when a IIC. secretary as an IB. and vice-president when a IIA. She also always honored the class parties with her presence. Billie dislikes sissy boys but cares very much for chocolate candy, dates (both kinds) and dancing. After finishing school she intends to become a stenographer until — only the future can tell. JOHN LOCKTON— I am afraid to state my views. John was a favorite with both sexes from the time he joined the class in 1919 until graduation. He served on the Commencement Invitation. Class Motto, and Senior Banquet committees. John played in LeVoyage de Monsieur Perrichon and as Colonel Rudd in The Colonel ' s Maid. He won an E in football for 1920 and also many other E ' s in his subjects, getting four the last semester. John likes everything to eat. and really tried to make us believe he dislikes anything feminine. He intends to enter the University of Michigan next year. Twent-one
