HAROLD SMITH Brownie By some very grave mistake, Harold was let out of Logansport in I9l5, and has been running around loose ever since. He is the catcher on the Senior Baseball team, but he spends most of his time catching new girls. Harold dem- onstrated the capacity of his stom- ach the night of the hunt by de- vouring not less than a dozen wee- nies. MAY T. DONNELLY EVA E. DUBINSKI IVIILDRED A. BLACHLY Buzzer ushure and she's Oirish, and proud to admit it, bedadf' She came clear across the big pond to start and finish her career with our class. lt's always been a puzzle where May learned the definitions of so many big words, but neverthe- less she does know them. May, un- like many other members of our class, went through High School to gain an education, and not for Eva had to take in the sights of the metropolis of Chicago before she decided the Gary school sys- tem would be the one of her adop- tion. Leave it to Eva to make her- self clear, which she usually does if it takes her all day. Eva is the kind of a girl we all admire, frank and straightforward, saying the right thing at the right time. Well4l guess l will. Chicago, I9l 7. ..Mudge.. Here we are, right from Merrill- ville! With a car and everything. lt was thought that Mudge was a staple fixture of this little town, but, after giving the matter careful consideration, she decided that our class was the best she had even seen and came over lo graduate with us. We have a notion that it would break her heart not to be in style. Class Baseball 'l8, 'I9, foolishness- U Hockey. Nlerrillville, Ind., wie. Class Basketball 'l8.

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. Always prompt. and willing to work, Gladys has been a great addition to our class. l got a letter from France to- day. Crisman. lnd., I9l9.

OSCAR C. STROM GRACE L. PHILLIPS RUTH K. DAVIS Sl.-wfoof' Oscar is a boy wonder when it comes to oratory I---Ask Miss Lynch. He also holds the es- teemed position as drummer in the Miller band. Ever since the Senior party. Oscar has been clrawn to- ward the little town of Iolleston. There is no mystery there, how- ever. simply little Miss Phillips.

Phil Gracious A-Philvsv' name forever be held sacred by the class of l9, for furnishing a place for us to hide. and thus regain a lost reputation. Grace may be little but she won't admit it, and isn't in the least handicapped in playing basketball by her small stature. A very fine case developed at the Senior tal- ly-puIl , and we have been watch- ing its growth with breathless anx- iety ever since. Sure, I'lI go. Lansing, Mich., l9I7. Basketball 'l8, 'l9. Student Council Vice-Pres. 'l8. Salutatorian 'l9. Camphre. Rufus The school is losing one of its main assets when Rufus leaves. We all know that Ruth is a marvel at playing a piano, but she isn't so lar gone but that she admits Pa- derewski is good, too. We believe that she has more than her share of artistic temperament, for she can draw pretty ladies as though it were nothing out of the ordinary. Yes. I'll do it if you want me to. Scotdale.
