22 THE CRESCENT ELIZABETH MYERS “Betty.” “She loves him best who lives back East.” Our star performer in “Katcha-Koo.” Gifted as musician. Elizabeth has a decided will of her own and uses it frequently. Ask certain Senior boys. She is also our Class Chauffeur. JOE CARPENTER “Oogie.” “Twinkle, twinkle little star.” Joe is a tall, lanky fellow, who would be two feet taller if so much of him was not bent under in the form of feet. Besides being known as a fellow with a healthy appetite, he has the ability of a good singer and he also made a good “Martin” in “Green Stockings.” MARGUERITE O’BRIEN “Bugs.” A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Marguerite belongs to that bunch which is always whispering in the halls, then laughing and looking mysterious. They have a monopoly on her and we do not know her as well as we would have liked. AUGUST COTTON “Gus.” “A sunny spot of greenery.” Cotton, the Frenchman with wavy dark hair and rosy cheeks; a friend to all, an enemy to none. Our future chemist. ELLEN FOLAND “Melinda.” “All’s one to her; above her fan she’d make sweet eyes to Caliban.” Ellen arrives in her Ford from the country each Monday, but nevertheless she always is in the swim of things. Noted for her hair dressing and Elizabeth. Her one fear is that a certain country fellow will find out what she said about him.

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.”

'I' II E C R E S (: E N 'I' 2:i FRANCIS KEYSER “Pinchy.” “lie who blushes is not quite a brute.” Francis has one fatal weakness— fear of I lie fair sex. He is noted for disentangling knotty problems in solid, and as a second Paderewski. Francis bears no relatin to Wilhelm. MIRIAM HAAS ‘‘ Swe; tie. ” ‘ ‘ As merry as the day is long. Your hcaity laugh will long be remembered by your great host of friends in E. H. S. We are sorry that you have such a terrible time deciding which fellow is the best but wish you the best of success. WILLIAM MORRIS Willie.” “Great boys mak g eat men. Bill will certainly be missed next Fall for the 1920 class can never forget the t in ■ when Big Bill came lumbering into the A R. at 19’- minutes after eight. Willie is n 'te 1 for originating the “Morris Grin” the same that has illuminated bis map for years. GLADYS AREND “Peanuts.” “A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck.” Our golden haired Gladys is a favorite with every one. We think she intends to take her place in a nickel and dime store ml tss some “Lockinvar” persuades her to change her mind. ORLANDO SIMMONS “Simmy.” “He who sleeps by day will hunger by night.” Orlando bears a striking resemblance to the movie actor, Bert Lvtell, and he seems to have all the acrobatic requirements of that personage. He has served out. his time now and we extend our aid to him in petitions for pardon as we earnestly hope that lie will leave H. S. this year at least.
