RAYMOND H. LEWIS 'The child is father of the man.” If that is the case, Pete” will be a most remarkable man. He’s already made a record for himself in the Academy. He’s certainly a worker. He is one of the class that entered the academy in January, and he, too, finished in four years, and stood well up in his classes. It’s a mystery how he managed to do it, for he worked every minute, it seemed, out of school hours. He intends to go to Syracuse University and take a course in forestry, then get a government position. We hope he’ll succeed in his plans, for he deserves success. FLOYD L. MAY. What sweet delight a quiet life affords.” A youth who is so solemncholy” and reserved. We know that your gray matter is not lacking but we would like to ask you a question or two; does your heart ever trip faster when a young lady appears on the landscape ? did you really ever make any noise? You are so innocent that it would be a crime to sting you. Some day we hope to hear that you create a commotion as great as Vesuvius. HARRY MILLS. A singer of great note.” Ladies and gentlemen, attention ! You are now to have the pleasure of viewing the pride of the class - the second Caruso. This youth, whose silvery head has oft been mis- taken for a Mazda lamp, is the possessor of a voice which will in time place him on the back cover of the Cosmopolitan with all the other artists who sing exclusively for the Victor. We all wish you success, Harry.

HMfl FLORENCE HUGHES “She’s fair and industrious, too.” There’ not much to say about Florence except that she is a sister of Helen and the renowned Francis. She has very rosy cheeks, dark brown eyes and wavy hair, so there’s no wonder she is always “busy” Sunday night. Florence is a singer of note—but it’s not a very high note, so she may as well give up all hope of becoming a famous musical comedy star. E. F. A. Entertainment, Picnic Committee. HELEN E. HUGHES “Thou hast a mind that suits With this thy fair and outward character.” Helen means “light.” Is it because her name means “light” that Helen Hughes if so brilliant? We cannot answer that question, but we can say that a more clever girl does not exist. Be it in French or German or Vergil or any other subject Helen is always at the head of her class. Picnic Committee. MARIE ELIZABETH JESSEN “Of manner gentle, of affections mild ! ” That’s Marie ! She’s one of those quiet appearing girls, who looks as though she had never done an improper thing in her life. We don’t mean to say that she never laughs, Oh, No! You should see her in French class. However, we have her word for it that she doesn’t act so silly other places. We’d like her just the same, even if she did, of course, for she’s a perfectly fine girl. She does take some things very seriously once in a while, but perhaps she’ll outgrow that. At least we hope she’ll never be too serious. Arbor Day Exercises.

 o o LAURA S. KLUGE. A creature not too bright or good, For human nature’s daily food.” Has it ever been your good fortune to meet one of those quiet girls who always have a smile and good word for every- one? Well, that’s just the kind of girl Laura is. During our four years association with her, we have discovered not one fault to censure. She is studious and bright in school and out of it she is just a jolly girl, full of fun. For her we prophesy a wealth of success. ELLA M. KOHN. Whence is thy learning?” Conie’s” friends tell us that she is what is commonly called a shark” in high school parlance. They say she excels in German, though she does go to sleep in the class. Perhaps that is due to the class, not herself. Not alone in school is she remarkable, but she also plays the piano remarkably well. To look at her, you wouldn’t think that so much talent was hidden within her, for she looks like any other girl. But it’s there, we’re sure. We wish you all kinds of success and good luck in the future, Conie.” E. CHARLOTTE LeFEVRE. She just sat there a-giggling.” Charlotte is always laughing and talking and she never fails to have a great deal of gossip to tell people. She and her twin are always together; wherever you see the one you will see the other. A looking glass is an absolute necessity with Charlotte.
