SANFORD ALDRICH “San Chicago Sanford traveled all the way from Chicago, to attend our school. He has taken a very active part in school athletics and has also proved his ability as a class president. We notice that most of his spare time is spent with a certain Junior from Connecticut Street. “Blushing is a gift few men have.” B. J. E. C.; B. S. E. C.; Spanish Club; Chemistry Club; President Senior Class; Senior Representative. Board of Control, ’21; R. 0. T. C. 1st Lieutenant; Football, ’19; Basketball, ’20, ’21; Track, ’19, ’20, ’21. WILBUR DIERKING Elgin, Illinois, 1917 Wilbur shares the floor with the class debaters. His masterly speeches have helped make the B. S. E. C. a success. Wilbur spends a lot of time just around the corner of a little shoe shop on Seventh Street. We wonder why? “Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear.” B. J. E. C.; B. S. E. C.; Chemistry Club; R. 0. T. C. MARY ESTHER RANSEL “Pestie” Pittsburg, 1916 Mary Esther is always ready with a helping hand, whether it is us¬ ing her pen or making candy for the benefit of the football fellows. We appreciate her efforts. She divides her time between her studies, the kindergarten, and a certain Junior boy whose picture may be found in this book. “You can never tell about a woman. She is just as likely to laugh at a funeral, as cry at a wedding.” French Club; Senior Representative, Board of Control; Auditorium League; Class Secretary, ’22; “Mice and Men”; Chemistry Club; Spanish Club; Hockey, ’21; Commercial Law Club; Lake County Preliminaries. MARTHA TAYLOR Pittsburg, 1910 Martie is an all-round good sport. Always on hand whether it be a dance, basketball game, or just a good time. She seems very much in¬ terested in a certain “little man” in the Junior class. She’s another of our lassies who didn’t like long tresses. “Not that I love study less, but that I love fun more.” Chemistry Club; Spanish Club; Treasurer Senior Class; Hockey teanv ’21; Basketball, ’19, ’20, ’21; Tennis, ’21. CLAYTON BRIGGS Columbia City, Ind., 1919 Clayton has been with us three years, and he certainly has made a fine showing in that time. He has not only been made captain of the! track team, but he was also elected president of the Board of Control His social duties have not been neglected, however, since he has a host of friends, of whom many belong to the fair sex. He is well known fori his interesting notes. “They laugh that are wise.” B. S. E. C.; President, Board of Control; Classical Club; Musical! Club: Class Editor of “E”; Football, ’22; Captain, R. O. T.

DALE GOOD “Ike” South Bend, 1908 Dale came to Emerson from South Bend, but it was so long ago that he can’t remember much about it so we forgive him. He spends a good deal of time getting snaps for the Annual, around the school, in Mr. White’s room, and other places. His green Ford is quite convenient for his friends. The girls are all friends of Dale. Chemistry Club; Spanish Club; B. S. E. C.; Football, 2nd team 22. Track; Chairman Athletic Association; Senior Representative, ’21, Board of Control; Snap Editor of “E.” MATTHIAS FABIANSKI, “Mutt” Mutt proved to be a dark horse in the fall election, having been elect¬ ed yell leader over the heads of the two regular candidates. He has turn- ed out to be an excellent yell leader and it was not his fault that we lost the tournament. How about the “sinoopsis,” Mutt? “I don’t say much, I guess I must be shy.” B J E C • B. S. E. C.; Spanish Club; Chemistry Club; Cross Country ’20-’21-’22; Track, ’21; Class Basketball, ’21, ’22; R. O. T. C.; Joke Editor of “E”; President Auditorium League; “Mice and Men.” JOHN SYMES , . Cuba -. 19 8 Johnnie reminds us of that old saying about the best things coming in small packages. He is sure there with the goods, whether it means study- ing, boosting, or such a trivial thing as putting out the Annual on time. Although he came here from the wilds of Cuba, he is fairly civilized now and speaks English with very little trouble. “Diamonds are small, so why should I worry.” B. J. E. C.; Spanish Club, President; Classical Club; Band; Audi¬ torium League; Editor of “E”; “Mice and Men”; R. 0. T. C. WILLIAM MARTIN, “Bill” Valparaiso, 1914 Bill never lets his pleasures interfere with his work. It is this excel¬ lent trait that has made him an efficient business manager. He is one of the orchestra’s accomplished violinists. We all look “up’ to Bill. “What is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.’ B S. E. C.; Classical Club; Spanish Club; Auditorium League; Rose of Plymouth Town”; “Mice and Men”; Business Manager of “E”; Musical Club; Chorus, ’20, ’21; Band; Orchestra; R. 0. T. C. FRANK STIMSON, “Niger” Memphis, Tenn., 1916 Frank’s ready smile and good nature have brought him many irienas and a captaincy? As Junior Boys’ treasurer last year he succeeded in wringing from the boys, who seemed to be perpetually “broke enough money to help finance our successful parties. “Bashfulness is the ornament of youth. .
