RANDALL LIGHTBODY, “Randy” Youngstown, Ohio, 1913 Randy is one of our popular students, and the head-musician of our band. He is a very busy man—especially if there is something to be done.

She is a sweet little dark-eyed lass and is al¬ ways ready for fun, but she’ll only smile on special occasions. She has made many true friends at Emerson and we all love her. “Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are.” Spanish Club, ’21; Chemistry Club, ’21: Auditorium League. 21, 22, Commercial Law Club, ' 22; Hockey, ’21, ’22.

ARVID GUSTAFSON, “Gusty” Griffith, Ind. We admire Arvid because he prefers to drive in from Griffith every morning, than to go to Hammond. Arvid has been with us four years, but he has said so little, that we hardly know that he is with us. “Silence betrays no man.” Auditorium League; Band. JENIBEE COATS Marion, Ind., 1920 Jenny likes us so well that she carried five solids to graduate with us. She is a very tiny girl, but she is full of “pep” and initiative. She loves to dance and is always near when a good time is promised. She will im¬ press you as being quiet until you find out her real nature. We’re glad to have you with us, Jenny. She is also a welcome addition to the Orches¬ tra. “A dear little, sweet little, good little girl.” Orchestra, Spanish Club, French Club. JOHN WALLACE, “Boob” Coal City, Ill., 1910 John is one of our best football players. In fact he is good at all kinds of play, haying had a berth on the basketball team and the leading part in the Senior play. He doesn’t like society, but we notice, he likes a certain society editor. “Wise men are all dead or dying; in fact, I don’t feel well myself.” B. J. E. C.; B. S. E. C.; Auditorium League; Classical Club; Football ’20, ’21, ’22; Basketball; Class Basketball, ’20, ’21; Varsity Basketball, ’22; “Mice and Men.” IRENE FORSYTHE Ross, Ind. Irene comes from Crown Point every day. One can easily see how much she thinks of the class of ’22. She has spent two short years with us and although she is quiet, she has made many friends. We wish her happiness. “It is tranquil people Who accomplish much.” Chemistry Club; Spanish Club; Classical Club. SAM DUBIN, “Smiley” Chicago, 1917 Sam preferred to remain behind and stick it out with us when his folks moved away. We appreciate his choice because Sam is a live wire and has succeeded in extracting some dues from the Senior boys. Sam always has a smile for everybody. “But a merrier man I never spent an hour’s talk withal.” Classical Club; B. J. E. C.; B. S. E. C.: Musical Club; Boys’ Treasurer ’22; Tennis, ’21; Cross Country, ’21; “Mice and Men.”
