JOE j. JACOBSON RUTH E. WOLF ELINA E. SALM1 There's class to Joe, even though he does wear a hat. He has a faculty for making a hit with out-of-town girls. We believe, from the way he hangs around Mr. White's room, that Joe is cherish- ing a secret hope deep down in his heart that he may succeed lVlr. Tu- multy. He is ever seen in the pres- ence of L. Dubetz. Chicago, Ill.. I9ll. Oratorical Prelims. 'l8. Chorus 'l7. Roosilie To enumerate the abilities of RUP would require a volume. The saying goes, Nobody loves a fat man, but it seems just the op- posite with her. In is surprising to see such a little girl driving such a large car, but we naturally ex- pect surprising things from such a girl as Ruth. 1 can't, kids, I have a date. Chicago, lll., l909. Vice-President 'l6. usa!-nn When report cards come out we naturally expect to see Elina's, slowly but surely, fill up with 99's. She is some plugger, but she always gets the desired results. ls ever seen in the company of May D. Finland I908. Annual Board 'l9. Hockey 'l8, 'l9. Girls' Working Reserve E. MADGE FORSCH A thing of beauty is a joy for- ever, is a saying that may be ap- plied to Madge. We have sus- picions thal somewhere in the dark ages, some of lVladge's ancestors must have been the hercest of can- nibals. for she is often seen about the Zoology room, dissecting cats. rabbits, et cetera. She and Helen are as thick as peas in a pod. Whither one goeth, thither goeth the other. Middlebury, lnd., l9l2. Athletic Association ' l 7. Basketball' Class Secretary 'l8. Chorus 'l6, 'l8.

FRANK M. KELSO ln I9I5 Decatur, lll., got too small for our future joie Ray, and he took a run to Gary and liked the class of 'I9 so well that he re- mained with us. Next to running. Frank likes getting his Latin with Alegra Nesbit. ln his spare mo- ments he sings for Mr. Snyder, and has been the mainstay of the chorus for the past two years. Track 'l8. 'l9. Student Council 'lS. Oratorical Prelims. 'lS. Class Basketball 'l9. RUBY SCOTT Scotty Ruby seems to be rather bashful, but you never can tell. She be- lieves that you should make the most of your time in school by gaining a little more gray matter, which belief she has applied very successfully. Be good, girls, she's my Sun- day school teacher. Three Gaks, Mich., l9l0. Annual Board 'l8, I9. Hockey 'l9. Basketball. MAY UHL lVlazie lVlazie is a dear little thing even though she is the class treas- urer. She is rather quiet at times. but when she gets started, look out! lVlay is just crazy to go to London fohiof. ls it because itis near Columbus, May? She also likes marines . Be sure and bring it tomor- row. Dover, Ohio, l9I3. Class Treasurer 'l9. Basketball '18, 'l9. Athletic Association 'l6. Hockey 'l8, 'l9. Declamatory Prelims. 'l8, 'l9. Camp Fire. BERNEIL DAVIS HBCU., Neilie is one of the fashionable members of our class. She lives on Lincoln Street, 'n everything. We believe she carries one subject, but weire not sure. Berneil looks for- ward to the time when her aunt's store will cover a whole block and she will be the manager. When it comes to bestowing her affections, Davy is very changeable. as her heart is never twice in the same place. A staunch supporter of the W. W. W.'s. l've got the best-looking new waist.

GEORGE W. STROM ALEF BLAKE HELEN A. HAAS GLADYS BRIGGS Handsome George Washington fstromf crossed the Wabash in I9l7 on his march from Anderson to the City of Steel. Frank Kendriclfs only rival for being the most handsome boy in the class. George is a wire- less fiend. and some day Marconi will look like a beginner beside him. Oratorical Prelims. 'l8. Tennis 'l8, 'l9. Football Squad 'l9. HAI.. Blakey had sense enough to know that she wanted to graduate with our class, so she migrated from San Angelo, Texas, for that purpose. Alef is the star of the Senior basketball team, and because she was such a good sport she was made the captain. When it comes to having a good time, you can't find a more ready person than Miss Blake. Although she has been with us but one short year, with her snappy brown eyes, and her charm- ing southern accent, she walked straight into our hearts. San Angelo, Texas, l9I8. Basketball Capt. 'l9. Baseball 'l9. Helen thought she would like our class better than her original one, and so-we have Miss Haas with us. Although we are not well ac- quainted with her as yet, we are sure she is a very charming little lassie. Chicago, Ill., l9II. Hockey 'l9. Camp Fire. GIaclie Gladys, who is our smallest graduate. has many friends and no enemies. She comes from Crisman, but she can't help it, so we can forgive her for it.
