I I LIIE—WH1 3 3 y i jtij jl i IBVA ACKERMAN ‘ ‘ Say, has the bell rung yet?” Irva’s all right! She is always on hand and can generally be found dashing frantically upstairs in an effort to get in before Miss Hib- bard starts her morning solo on the bell. Irva originally came from Wellsburg and we are glad she decided to join us. RUTH ALLEN ‘ ‘ It’s the little things in life that count.’ ’ Yes, Ruth is little and sweet and has lovely hair. She reminds us of our favorite movie star. Music is one of her chief interests and her chosen field of work. Another chief inter- est is ---. But you can guess who. Ruth’s virtues are her abstinence from giggling and flirtation. She is altogether a very enjoyable companion. If you are blue, just walk a block with Ruth tucked under your arm. That is far enough to be sympathized with and find your- self laughing and wishing you might go blocks farther. Senior Reception Committee HELENA M. BARNES “A little work, a little play, Is my idea of life. ” Here is Helena, to whom we are positively certain that great success is coming some day. She is quiet and unpretentious with all the qualities which every practical young woman should have, but oh, only a few of her most intimate friends know what a lot of fun lies underneath such a calm and serene exterior. There is a tall young chap with literary ten- dencies who knows a lot more about Helena, but we won’t bother him with questions. We know that we like her and are glad that she is one of us. Military Party, Senior Reception, Cabaret Committees “Blue and White” Board A. CLINTON BOARDMAN “He was very wise, and he shared his wisdom with others.” Clinton, from the early days when he wore short trousers, has always been a scholar. He always studied his lessons, even when those around him were merely studying at theirs. Whenever a weighty question comes up, it is not settled until Clinton has grappled with it at least ten minutes. He is what we are pleased to call a uniformly good student. RONALD BREESE ‘ 1 As well be out of the world as out of style. ’9 Ronald has a sunny disposition and is a favorite with all who know him. He has one weakness—ladies. Without them life would be a hollow dream. Dancing is his favorite sport, summer and winter. We can not locate the center of his affections as he shows no partial- ity. In addition, he has the honor of being the first member of the Class of ’18 to put his name on the Honor Roll in the current year.

1 I LUE —WI 11 n 71 c FRANCES C. BEEBE ‘ ‘ Her eyes flash Medea’s eloquence. ’ ’ Is this a whirlwind or a hail storm descend- ing upon us? No! It’s Beebe racing down the hall. ‘ ‘ Cug ’ ’ is one of the most talented and enthusiastic girls in the class. She has dis- played her talent in the school orchestra for three years, and she shows her enthusiasm in everything she does from dancing to work- ing on committees. She is a mighty good friend to have and we wish we had more like her. President of Orchestra Senior Vaudeville Cabaret Party, Military Party, Cast Party Committees JOSEPHINE C. V. W. BENTLEY “0, come here and be comforting. ’ ’ That is Jo! Always rushed to death and always getting out of an ‘awful scrape,” She is famed for her clever writing, her work on the Vindex, her love for the ‘ ‘ Star-Gazette ’ ’ and her fondness for Cornell—also her good looks. We predict that she will be either a newspaper writer, a famous author and poetess, or a doctor’s wife. Secretary of Student Council Ass’t Editor Vindex Senior Vaudeville MOLLIE BLOSTEIN ‘ ‘ A light heart lives long.’ 9 Molly laughs and giggles. She likes to whisper when she shouldn’t but just has to have fun. Molly’s voice is very pleasing and we shall miss it when she leaves us for the Bal- timore doctor. She seems very popular with the teachers, for you hear often, “I wonder where Miss Blostein went?” or.”Miss Blostein, wouldn’t you like the front seat?” Senior Entertainment HAROLD L. BROOKS “Oh, I’m the same guy that graduated last year. ’ ’ “Brooksv,” the school’s comedian, has a good story to tell every time you see him. If you get the ‘ ‘ blues ’ ’ go see ‘ ‘ Brooksv ” and he’ll drive them away with his jokes. But don’t think he never is serious. You should see him down at the Armory drilling the “booby” squad, and you’d never think that the serious military-looking man is our young comedian. Senior Vaudeville Entertainment Class Play Senior Party JOHN BURR ‘ ‘ My school work and business make me hurry, But it will soon be over, so I won’t worry.” John Burr is one of the best examples of likeable fellows we can name. Did you ever see John “riled?” Such occasions are rarer than daffodils on the Sahara desert. In fact, those who know him could be pardoned if they should claim that John’s temper cannot pos- sibly be aroused. He will offset all your efforts with a smooth, disarming laugh, and you fall back powerless. Vaudeville Entertainment “Blue and White” Board
