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

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

V !% , f- ELLA MARIE R I C HA R DSON— Commercial Jitney is ever on the run, She simply bubbles o ' er with fun; Her tongue is forever on the go, Oh, no, Ella Marie, you are not stow. Ella Marie is the original live-wire girl. Her prominence in school affairs is told by this list of honors: Chairman of Class Social com- mittee IB, member of same IC and IIB, president of Girls ' Rooting club and the first girl yell leader in E. H. S. She says she likes dates with talkative fellows and eating spaghetti and abhores cheese and shrimp. She hopes to become a private ddetective some day. Watch your step, Jitney . EVERETT DANIELSON— English I am no herald to inquire of a man ' s pedigrees; it sufficeth if I know his virtues. Vic is known to the class as a willing - listener but never in- clined to be so willing a talker. Rather shy of the fairer sex, he has seldom, if ever, attended the class parties. In the French play, Vic , he showed great talent and as an athlete he has taken part in nearly everything — baseball, football, track and basketball. He was appointed as a committee for the athletic records of the IIA class. Baseball and pinochle are his favorite pastimes, but making speeches never appealed to him. Next year Vic will attend college, specializing in foreign language. ESTHER MITCHELL— Commercial A merry heart goes all the day, Your sad tires in a mile — A. Esther, who is sometimes called Patty , is noted for her blonde hair and blue eyes. She says she likes canoeing, which sounds inter- esting and also the Z.T.A. parties and fudge. But she doesn ' t like to wash dishes or study Commercial Law. She helped to make the class parties a success during the IIC and IIB terms by serving on the Social committee, and she was also secretary during the IA term. She specialized in shorthand and typewriting in school and expects to become a private secretary in the future. ARTHUR MARSHALL Art was always a prominent member of June ' 20 class. He joined our class rather late in the year, nevertheless he was usually present at class affairs. Art ' s likes and dislikes are not numerous but he always showed a strong favor for commercial subjects. At present he is clerking in one of the drygoods establishments of the city. CICILY YODER— English Be ye happy whose fortunes are already complete. Stately and dignified, this Senior carries with her an air of satis- faction and contentment wherever she goes. She is conscientious, almost to a fault, quiet and studious. She was member of the Motto committee and a member of the Social committee. She likes Morse ' s and Beechnut gum. She is soon to become a member of a class of two. Twen ty-two
