KYLE, JOHN. “JOHNNY,” 474 H. M. BREWER, FRANCES. “FRANZ” M. L. Piqua, Ohio, June, 1912 French Club. A tall and dignified music teacher, whose dignity does not prevent her from enjoying life. This fair lady is a friend to all the girls, and is very much re¬ spected and held in awe by her accom¬ plishment on the piano and by her sweet dignity. Classical Club; Football; Capt. B. B. 1917; S. Council; Steins; Baseball; Class President ’14; Athletic Association. “Hippo,” being strong for West-ern migration, pulled out of Walkerton, Ind., May 1st, 1907, for Gary, Ind., and has never regretted the move. A good stu¬ dent, with lots of executive ability. All state guard. John came thru in his Senior year and tried to show up Vernon Castle as a dancer. Will probably go to Purdue. MILGRAM, SARA. “SALLY,” P. S. Merrill, Wisconsin Camp Fire; Chorus; Oratorical Con¬ test; Senior Play; Basket Ball; Hockey. Even tho Sally is small, we all know when she is around. We hear her be¬ fore we see her, for she’s not at all shy. She is some dancer, solo dancing espe¬ cially. SZOLD, BERNARD. “HUNK.” P. D. BOEHM, EVELYN. “BEVERLY,” C. D. Senior Play; Athletic Association; German Club; Camp Fire; Basket Ball. Beverly kissed “Sheetsie”and“Patti” good-bye in old Muncie, Ind., in October, 1914, and one-stepped to Gary. Has been dancing and swimming ever since. Taller half of the Rogers-Boehm corpo¬ ration. Greatest ’lil gloom killer ever was. Middle name is Mary, but we’ll keep that a secret. Dee-del-e-dee-dee-de. Football; Basket Ball; Track Capt.; Editor-in-Chief of Annual; Swimming Team; 1st Lake Co. Oratorical Contest; 2nd, 1917; Senior Play; Student Coun¬ cil; German Club; Chorus. Bernie, the socialist, hailed from— well, where he spent most of his time dreaming, and has been a poet and dreamer ever since. But he has done more than just dream; he is on the go all the time. He’s one of our class art¬ ists; has been in all athletics; is famous for his work on track, and has also done as much on the academic side. He is our boy orator and is often seen orating to Jene, who agrees on everything? (To a certain extent—yes.) Bernie loves Math., and never loses nor forgets. WITWER, MARGUERITE.“PEG”A. P. Denver, Colorado Camp Fire; Declamatory; Girls’ Glee Club; German Club; Chorus; S. 0. D.; Basket Ball. Peg flew into the dunes region at an early date, and she has continued her specialty in “dates” up to the pres¬ ent. In fact, she is entirely up-to-date. To be found whenever anything regular is being pulled off. She’s frequently in the library. Ask Dewey. BANTA, JANE. L. J. Red Lodge, Montana Camp Fire. Jane has only been with us a short year, but she has won a place in the hearts of all, even Rundell. Even though she’s a very quiet and modest girl, we all have oodles of fun with her. ROY, ROBERT G. “BOB,” W. H. South Bend, 1910 Chemistry Club; Student Council ’15; Oratorical ’17; Annual Board T7; Latin Club; German Club; Class Treas. ’17. Old man Roy to all appearances is a sober, quiet little youth, but “by Heck, Lem,” he can’t fool us, for we know Au¬ burn’s a regular cut-up when he is out among ’em. However, we’ll forgive him, since he never gets below 95. Twenty-nir

GUSTAFSON, MILDRED. U. S. Chicago, Illinois, 1914 Our “Husky” has a weakness for basket ball, and has starred as a guard on the champ team. She’s a girl who thinks more than she talks, and who does not indulge in idle babble. But even though she talks so little, her smile shows that she is not gloomy. JONES, CHESTER H. Y. P. B. Martin’s Ferry, Ohio Baseball; Football; Track; Athletic Association; Chemistry Club; Latin Club; Stein; Chorus; Annual Board. Chet is the best member of all the Steins. Should be a peach of a broker, judging by his ability to corner eats. A plugger in athletics and his studies. FLOYD, MARY. Y. D. Salisbury, North Carolina Classical Club; Chorus; Camp Fire. Altho Mary has only been with us this year, she says she is “tickled pink” for the privilege of graduating with us. Brother Frank hasn’t much on Mary when it comes to dispensing a healthy “wallop.” VIANT, ZIM H. “ZIM,” R. D. Lowell, 1914 Chemistry Club; Orchestra; Chorus; Track. When it comes to pole vaulting, Zim is some aviator. Also is very popular with the ladies. However, we can’t hold that against him, poor youth. Came from Lowell, but manages to keep quiet. NELSON, HELEN V. “NELS” Miller French Club. Our bashful blonde from Miller is only seen flitting from one class to an¬ other amid a shower of blushes. She is one of the few who has always kept out of the fight for popularity. She has a keen wit, even though she is shy about displaying it. SWANSON, EDGAR. “SWEDE,” B. L. C. Chicago, Illinois Chemistry Club; German Club; Cho¬ rus; Oratorical. If you want to interview old “Swede,” just amble down to the “El- sinor.” Can also be found in Simon’s room at intervals, where he performs some very rare experiments. Was a side kick of “Spike” before he became a “soger.” FEUER, LEONA A. A. P. Cleveland, Ohio, 1909 Chorus; Senior Play; Declamatory; Camp Fire; German Club; S. O. D. Physically, Leona is about the small¬ est member of our class. When not in company with the “Castle Sisters (May and Bev.), she’s sure going ’round cor¬ ners on high, in a big Standard. HOLLOWAY, LILLIAN. “BILLIE” Q. T. Texas, April 24, 1913 Student Council; Athletic Associa¬ tion ; Basket Ball; Hockey; Annual Board; Declamatory; Chorus; Chemistry Club; German Club; Camp Fire; Senior Play. If Billie would only keep her eyes concealed, we might forgive her for the little mishap, for she is a wonderfully talented girl in many respects, classical dancing, painting and music being her specialties. However, she insists on melting us with her unmatchable orbs. WELSHEIMER, MILDRED. “MILLY” M. M. Auburn, Indiana, 1908 Classical Club; Class Historian; Chorus; Oratorical Contest; Camp Fire; Basket Ball. She’s a poet and a “student,” which means a great deal. Has done lots in the literature line, but has done more in music. As a composer, she does remark¬ ably well; also in the rendering of her piano selections. Thirty-one
