Irva came after Regents in January to join our gay throlpgi ec She hails from the small town of 'vVellsburg, which 1?S urnis many fine students in the years past. Irva 15 1409121113 up the reputation of her home town shur nuff' There 1S one greaii mystery about her though, and that is how she keeps so silent and composed. She never seems ruifled orlexcited in the least. Pie?- h 11-'S as one famous Hshai-k said several years -ago, I aps, simply keep my mind on my vvork.'l Anyway our best wishes for a successful career go out with Irva. MARIAN LOUISE ARGUS. Better late than never. We are very glad to have had Marian as a classmate even though she has been with us for only two years. Marian manages to get her lessons and have good times outside in the meantime. Her course in domestic science will prove to some man how ef- ficient she is. We are eonident that Marian will also be a credit to the business world. DOROTHEA ATWATER. f'Moclest and shy as a nun is she. She is so very. quiet that sometimes we don 't know she is around. Nevertheless, Dorothea likes the boys, one in particular, but we promised we wouldnlt tell. We haven 't found out what she intends to do next year but we ar-en't worrying about Dot 's success if she makes as many friends in the future as she has here. GET-TOGETHER PARTY COMMITTEE GERTRUDE B. BARTON A true friend is one worth having. This little lady even had the audacity to ask our reporter what she is especially noted for. The first thing is thatiheathen- ish yell that startles us out of belief that she never makes any noise. Then, haven 't we a comfortable feeling when we're with her that she is listening to what we are saying, and isn't going to rake us over the coals? Her ambitions are of a higher sort than many of ours and point to a college in Ohio. GET-TOGETIIER PARTY COMMITTEE MARIE A. BEARDSLEY A daughter of the gods, divinely tall and most divinely fair. Marie is another of the girls, who has given much life and enthusiasm to the Senior class. Besides belongine- to gl U1-eat nuinber of things, here at sghool, 5119 is a Ven, ,famous yfmug lady as a memlzer of the ,jazz baud, and Whig of us has not danced to her music? Marie is I1 H110 H311 1-Oumlrv girl amd We are proud that she is a member of the c-lags of 1919, STUDENT COUNCIL SENIJR RECEPTION COMMITTEE LITERARY EDITOR Sigmlm

Evelyn is one of the girls that hails from across the river and no doubt that is her excuse for being late so often. Her first thought is to ha.ve a good time and as far as we can see, shc certainly accomplishes it. We hear rumors of her keeping com- pany with the son of one of our well known grocers but we ad- vise you to go to Evelyn for more definite information. ANNA BERNSTEIN Another person whose good deeds shine as far as the proverbial candle. Anna is another one of our ,good students. She never acts as if her schoolwork troubled her much but when it comes to reci- tations, she's right there. Anna has one great accomplishment and that is her singing. She certainly has a wonderful voice. Her good nature is her chief characteristic and it makes one feel good to be with her. Anna has a twin for, wherever you see her, you see Harriet. We know that Anna will have great success in her future life. CLASS PLAY HARRY VV. BLANK Give to the world the best that you have And the best will come back to you!! If you see a very energetic young man dashing through the halls, you may be sure that he is Harry Blank. He is certainly one of the Inost industrious young men that we know. As Edi- tor-in-Chief of this book, he has again given us proof of his ef- ficiency. He has taken an active part in everything connected with school life, either in business or pleasure. So We all hate to think what the class of 1919 would have done without him. SENIOR RECEPTION COMMITTEE BRONZE TABLET PARTY COMMITTEE EDIToR-IN-CHIEF S-ignum STRING BAND ORCHESTRA STUDENT COUNCIL KATHERINE G. BLYLEY A person of business. Just to hear Kat's firm, decided footstep as she goes down the hall, one would know her to be a girl on Whom all un- consciously rely. It has been thus ever since she came to thc Academy. Her business ability has made her a necessary factor in almost every enterprise that the class of 1919 has undertaken. She is also genuinely interested in all social events. We all wish her great success in whatever she does. VICE-PRESIDENT or STUDENT COUNCIL VICE-PRESIDENT on SENIOR CLASS VINDEX BOARD TALITHA BOTSFORD Thy music charms. 7' What would the Senior class have done without Talitha? Our class would not possess such an original and appealing song, if it had not been for her. One can hardly believe that such a lit- tle person could do such big things. Talitha is not only a finc composer but also a. clever little violinist and artist. She is never idle a moment and from her sketches we conclude that her favorite animal is the pony. With all of hcr talents, Ta1itha's future holds a variety of things in store for her. Sigmmn BOARD CLASS Soyo AND NIOTTO COBIMITTEE ORCHESTRA
