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

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

ETHEL VERNIER — Commercial All who joy would win must share it — happiness was born a twin. •Shorty or Peggy is the real joy of the class and naturally served on the Social committee as chairman, as well as on the Picture committee, and as secretary while a IB. To be an excellent stenographer, and receive a suitable position in this work are the aims of Shorty . Her likes, which are very numerous, include Polly. Fern. Xaomi, swimming, dancing, class parties and office work. As her dislikes, which are also quite numerous, she names Commercial Law Economics, custards and. worst of all — parting with friends, After completing high school. Shorty intends to retain her reputa- tion for having good times. JESS LONGLEY — Commercial I resolved, that, like the sun, as long as my day lasted, I would look on the bright side of everything. Bones came to our class last Fall, having been secretary, IIC and IIA chairman of Social committee of the June ' 20 class and a member of the Individual Record committee of our class. He has been Joke editor, reported and assistant business manager for the Pennant. He was given the role of Quintus Hortensius in the Latin plav which was given a year ago by the Latin classes. He says he is specializing in the commercial course and intends to go to Otter- bein university. He likes skating, dancing and Pick and dislikes cranky session room teachers and changing seats. However, he seems to have been fond of the latter. MABEL KANTZ— It is the noblest of all possessions. Good character is property, Although Patty has not always been with us in our four years of gathering up knowledge, we consider her a welcome addition to the class. She tells us that she likes sugar and plums and everything nice and also the boys who don ' t play dice. But since she dislikes anyone who tries to boss her. we have our grave doubts for her future. Her ambition is to be a sewing teacher ami the class wishes her all possible success in this work. JESS PRIEM — English Let all things be done decently and in order. Pete is well known by his ever-present smile. Though never active in class- work, he had plenty of school spirit and did work on the football team in 1920. Sports are his favorite amusements. such as athletics, swimming, riding and hunting, but contrary to the most of us he is not fond of sleeping and has a dislike for the terpsichorean art. In his high school work Jess has specialized in machine shop. Upon finishing high school he will take up engineering at some college, then, he says, he will get married and buy a Ford. The class extends its heartiest wishes to him in his worthy intentions. PALMYRA OPFER — Commercial In Maiden Meditation, fancy free. Polly usually seen with Peggy and Funny has always been known by her giggle and everlasting good nature. She has shown the class some good times at her home and has helped out in other class affairs by being IIB treasurer and IB Social committee chairman. She says she likes Dot Tillman, especially, exciting basketball and football games and anything with chocolate in it. But she classes herself with those who dislike Kconomics and Commercial Law. After graduation Polly intends to have a good time all the time and do her best to be a Social secretary some day. C JU-e -Ks Twenty-three
