Marie Oleska .. “Dodo” Marie is the girl who lives out at the “booful” big mansion at Ridge Road, and has a red Buick roadster. We don’t know for sure, but we understand that her interests are divided between Hobart and the University of Illinois. Spanish Club; Yelling Yodlers; Commercial Club. Emelyn Kathryn Gustason Silence is golden. Emelyn has always been so quiet, but we like her just the same. Her smile is just so sweet—how could we help liking her? Yelling Yodlers; Classical Club; Commercial Club. Rose Negrelli . “Rosie” A pleasant dark-haired young lady whose hobby seems to be music. She makes a very nice looking Spanish lady, doesn’t she?

Mildred Johnston .. “Mitz” Mildred wanted to graduate with our class so badly, that she came all the way from . And we are sure glad. Mildred’s reputation as an English shark can be confirmed by any member of the contemporary writing classes. Yelling Yodler; Com¬ mercial Club.

From his activities with the monitor force, we thought that he would turn out to be a chief of police. Class Play ’25; Spice and Variety ’25, ’26; Class Baseball ’25; Building and Grounds Committee; Chorus. Lillian Marie Waser . “Lillums” ’Tis said that “nobody loves a fat person”. But this is one time that the saying meets with lots of opposition, cause we all like Lillian lots, even though the greater part of her affections are bestowed elsewhere. We “sorta” think that she has a warm feeling left for the Class of ’26. Are we right, Lillian? Building and Grounds Committee ’25; Senior Play ’25; Girls’ Band Chorus. Madison Wolfing “Maddy” Madison is the distinguished gentleman who lends his dignity to “Hoi Polloi”.

Auditorium League ’25, ’26; Hockey ’26; Basketball ’26. Arthur T. Kollar .“Art” “Art” may be small, but that’s not saying that he isn’t heard from.

When report cards come out, we naturally expect to see Alice’s slowly, but surely filling up with “A’s”. Class Plays ’23, ’25, ’26.
