Pennant Q23 cgnnuczl .A GILBERT GROOTVELD-' 'Gilly' ' He who falls in love with himself, has no rivals. President IIC Class. f At a class dance or party you could depend on Gillie and lvlarion for support. They would be there. Although not a football star Gillie was quite a track man in his ability to successfully catch the female of the specie. However. beneath it all Cvillie's a real fellow and we wish him luck. ETHEL MAY HEIDER Sensibility is the power of women. Quiet and modest are the main characteristics of Ethel. She is another one of our members that has not been with the class during all of its journey and is not known by all the class although we are sure if she had been with S lgnger she would have done more for the class. Ethel is usually seen with O le. RUSSELL VAN DUSEN Fate made him what he is Here. fellow students you behold another of our worthy shieks, You have all doubtlessly heard the clank and crash of Raymond's famous stride. He always appears to be intent upon arriving somewhere-but we wonder, STANFORD SPOHN-' 'Stan' ' His heart ran away with his head. While not so active in high school life as he could have been. Stan, the living joke book, has our best wishes for a happy cruise on the Zeppelin of life. SARAH ELIZABETH JOHNSON A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck. Sarah has journeyed a long way with us-in more ways than one. First she came over from Central with us-and has kept right in step-if not a trifle ahead of the rest of us. Secondly-think of the long way she has to walk to come to school. That is ambition and that kind of ambition and perseverance surely will win something great. ip..

IA. llAg Annual Staffg Pennant StaHg Forum, junior Class Playg Secretary, Rah Rah Girls. Always on hand to do the class a good turn, Lillian was indeed a valuable member of the class. Supporting class doings was among her hobbies. Am- bition - Ability - Success. so we know whats coming to her. HOWARD COOMBS- Howdy Demosthenes couldn't compare with him. The class had another worthy donation when it was about two years out at sea. This was made in care of Howard Coombs, He has the artistic tem- peramentg also as he is not one of those fellows who believes in living and dying without making himself known. he has great opportunity offered him and has made good use of it. ROB ERT GARRETT-' 'Bob' ' I think, therefore, I am Bob was one of the heartbreaking, sleek-haired, goggle-eyed shieks of our class, He is generally seen with Helen and we hear he has a desire to be an interior decorator. Good luck.

.X HELEN SWINEHART A Her fame was never widely spread, but her qualities of heart and head I never, never doubt it. Annual Staff. Quiet and shy-these are Hclen's main characteristics. but those who know her declare her to be a most congenial friend. Helen has a smile for every one. Although she has not taken a very active part in class aH'airs her contributions are greatly appreciated. Helen is one of the few of her sex that hasn t the heart to give up her long hair. THEODORE MORRIS-' 'Ted Ignorance is niine enemy. That boy is a worker, Steady and independent, he stands by what he thinks is right. We could use many more like him. No one need wish him success. he will bring it on himself. CLARENCE KUPPERNUS We acquire the strength we overcome. Clarence only joined our class this last year and so we have not had the opportunity to make him work. But we hear he is a real worker when hc gets started. and we are sorry we couldn t have claimed him sooner. . VELDA WATERS The prettiest little damsel. What a world of wealth. Velda. always calm and serene. never had so very much to say but yet she is one of the most valuable members ofthe class. When we think of her. we associate her with pleasant things-and Art. She is our artist and the class feels proud to be the lucky possessor of so fair a genius. Velda was made to succeed. JAY WINER 'I'm one of this curious kind of chaps-that you think you know when you don't-perhaps. jay has always been too busy or too bashful or too something to attend class parties. or any other class doings. However, there is a lot of good hard work in him. as he has provezl to be an excellent student. Also he has helped on committees-in order to put thinis over big-though he didn t always come to share the benefits. He plays t e piano marvelously and some day will prololably be a second Paderewski-unless the radio bug gets too strong a hold on im. ' 432.- Perlnanf Q26 cvqnnuczl Q
