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

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

HERMAN ORT— Industrial The deepest rivers have the least sound. Hum , or Herm , is business from start to finish. But during: his high school career he has found considerable time for athletics. In 1918 he took part in the interclass baseball, in 1919 he played on the Mohawks — a well known high school team; in 1920 he was captain of the varsity baseball team and in the same year received his mono- gram for his excellent work on the second football squad. As an IA Hum ' claims the exalted position of sargent-at-arms. Without further information we all know his favorite sport is baseball although he. likes all athletics in general. His main dislike in subjects is English. Hum has taken up industrial work as a specialty and intends to enter the newspaper business before going to college. BERNICE FARLEY— English There is a certain dignity to be kept up in pleasures as well as in business. May BEE always be as she has been — held in esteem by all who made her acquaintance. She was almost always present at the basketball games and always did her share at high school dances. Bee and Vi form an invincible couple and one seems rather in- complete without the other. Violet, Elkhart High School and movies are stated by Bee as her likes and Blue Mondays, huckleberries and sermons as her decided dislikes. After graduation, she says, she will aim to kill two birds with one stone. May the best success ever be with her. ELDON MCLAUGHLIN— College Prep Knowledge is power. Musty Suffer is known by all the high school from the smallest to the largest. Always present at class parties many a laugh has been the result of his unusual wit. He has taken part in athletics as left tackle on the second football team and also in interclass basketball. His ability in acting was shown when he took part in The Colonel ' s Maid , Three Pills in a Bottle and How the Vote Was Won. Musty has been the recipient of many E ' s, especially in History and Civics. He is very fond of hard cider and of raising mustaches but all you girls who possess red hair should best shun Musty . His intentions are to enter Illinois State university. HELEN PATTERSON— Pat She could talk! Oh, how she could talk! Laughing and giggling day-in and day-out, Pat was happiest when surrounded by her host of admirers. Greatness of size is not an essential characteristic of the Seniors. If it were, we fear Helen ' s name would not appear in the list. RUSSEL KISTNER— English I know a trick worth two of that. Russell, the foremost athlete of the class, may also be accredited on the social and individual record committees. The Pennant has benefitted by his services inasmuch as he faithfully wrote up all the athletic news during his Senior year. Throughout his high schol career he has played basketball, the last two years on the first team of which he was captain this year. Much praise has been given him in his clean, fair play, not only by local papers but by those of neigh- boring towns. He favors sports and dancing but rather dislikes making mass meeting speeches. Next fall Russel will attend college. Twenty-four
