CHARLES WISE, “Charlie” Belmont, Ohio, 1910 Charlie believes in doing today what might be put off till tomorrow.

He doesn’t like to spoil perfectly good targets. “Faithfulness and sincerity, first of all.” Spanish Club; Commercial Law Club; Auditorium League; R. 0. T. C. ELSIE HU BERTH This little girl has just joined our ranks this year, but already she has made her place among us. She is very good in declamatory work and has helped the S. E.

EDNA FULLER New York City, 1914 Edna is always in a hurry. She never wastes time and she doesn’t like others who do. She is just a little girl and tried for a long time to fool us.

She is a good student. “Faint heart never won bashful boy.” French Club; Auditorium League; Spanish Club; Hockey Team, ’20; Basketball, ’20; “Mice and Men.” ARNOLD OLSON. “Pete” Miller, Ind.

JOSEPH BAILEY, “Joe” Chicago, 1914 Joe arrived in Gary after a very fatiguing trip from Chicago in 1914. He is one of our society feathers, and we have heard quite a “classy” dancer.

Doro¬ thy is little, but 0 my!—She can do lots of work. “The secret of being lovely, Is being unselfish.” Hockey; Classical Club; Chorus, ’22; “Mice and Men.” GOLDA IIAFEY Golda too has been with us only two years, but we wonder how we ever got along w thout her.

RAYMOND DUFF, “Duffy” Chicago, 1918 We predict that Raymond will be a great politician some day.
