20 T IIE CRESCENT ANN LEWIS “Hubertie.” “Laugh and grow fat.” Ann is our assistant joke editor and a better one could not be found. She is known by her love for chocolate candy and “Snick.” Any moment you can hear her laughing or giggling. THELMA NEWKIRK “Billy.” “All meat is to be eaten, all maids to be wed.” Billy, with cheeks like roses and hair to match. No wonder you captivate us all. But beware boys, she’s a cunning “vampire.” HELEN DRAPER “Patty.” “Do you know a young and beautiful woman who is not ready to flirt— just a little?” Helen is our curly headed literary editor. You may think she is a very bashful girl, but “Oh Boy,” you should have been at a certain party and seen her flirt. However she is going to be a nurse and is sure to be a success. WILLIAM AUSTILL “Weevum.” “He that eats and saves, sets the table twice.” “Hungry” ----- is noted for his laughing and was the bench warmer in our basket ball team. He takes the sunny side of life and love affairs never trouble “Bill.” Last, but not least, lie is our joke editor (Good luck to “effervescence.”) He made a good looking “Admiral” in “Green Stockings,” too. WILLIAM HIATT “Professor. “Even though vanquished he could argue still.” William is our energetic business manager, who takes the serious side (f life. He’s noted for his curly hair and large shell rimmed spectacles, both of which he just “adores. Bill was all right as “James Raleign” in “Green Stockings.” He’s very much interested in electricity and we see his future as a great electrician. But O, Bill don’t get shocked.

T II E CRESCENT MORRIS DEIIORITY “Toots.” “Comb down 'his hair; look, look; it stands upright.” O Tootsie, beware of girls who steal silk handkerchiefs. Morris is another one of those bench warmers, lmt O. such a bashful boy. He’s a dandy pupil and never gives the teachers any trouble. CLAUDINE RICHESON “Richy.” “A little stone may upset a large cart.” Claudine is one of our most studious girls but she always finds time to enjoy life. Her highest ambition as near as we can find out is “shuving” suds across the counter in shiny glasses. HOWARD CROUSE “Crousy.” “Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow.” Our efficient editor-in-chief is a very popular lad and he beams upon all the girls as the sun does upon the earth in the spring time. President of “The Ecclesia” and our acrobatic yell leader. He also makes a good “Colonel Smith” in “Green Stockings.” MARY HARROW “Honey Bunch.” “Manners form the great charm of women. Our pretty Mary is so quiet and studious, but one look into those innocent brown eyes warns all her classmates to beware. She is going through “High” in record time but this doesn’t seem to interfere with her having plenty of time to take care of “Kale.” No he’s not a cabbage. RAY GRAY “Jim.” “The size of the hat doesn’t always indicate the size of the brain.” Our diplomatic Ray’s quiet ways and forceful manner won our admiration in our Junior year and has held it ever since. And by the way what do you think of Ray as “William Far-ady” in “GreenStoekings?” Ray is thinking of leaving Elwood soon and going to Pennsylvania or Montana. Maybe?

TIIK CRESCENT 21 ROY MITCHELL “Mitch. “If you wish men to speak well of you, never speak well of yourself.” Iioy is one of our bright lads who is whistling his way to fame. Among his hobbies are foot ball, basket ball and going with the girls. In leaving he leaves behind him a string of broken hearts as long as your arm, but is still adored by all of them. LEONA BENSON. “Benny.” “She lives long that lives well.” Leona always has a smile for every one. Is determined and self-possessed. How she does “shine” and argue in history. MAURICE FAHERTY “Maurie.” “A man’s a man for a’ that.” Manrie, the shoe man. An all around business fellow and the delight of all the girls. As popular in High School as “Wally Reid in the movies.” JANET COURTNEY “Jeanne.” “If thou lovest learning thou shalt be learned.” This little sunbeam comes from the country and brings joy to all who know her. Even “Pop” is not vexed when she arrives at 10 a. m. She receives a box of candy each month from Montana which reminds her that there are Grays in other places besides Ehvood. RAYMOND FAHERTY “Ray.” “Look what a little vain dust we are.” Ray is the envy of all the girls and a jolly fellow among the boys. Ray has been with us during his Junior and Senior years only, but he has made a decided hit and starred as “Henry Steele” in “Green Stockings.”
