51, 5 e s..6t3.3:i1:?-:F c M JOHN JOSEPH HOWELL, Jay Not a star athlete, nor one of the major charac- ters in our school life, just one of us , which means the most, when we stop to take stock. Never brought to the fore, either for praise or for fault-finding, we feel that he is a real fellow, and a good scout , when one finally becomes acquainted with him. JEANETTE MARGARET HUMBLE, Jan A quiet little miss who found herself in posses- sion of the required number of credits in February, and is now doing her bit , in the business world. She seldom speaks, but when she does, she always expresses a thought well worth saying. ELSTON RENWICK ILIFFE, EI Red hair, blue eyes, clear complexion,-a per- fect Irishman with a remarkable ca acity for ab- sorbing ' co 32,- HalI?cks ,a d e like.

WILLIAM WING JONES, Bill Class Basketball f4J Jones, the fellow with the glasses. Gradually, during his high school career, he has shaped him- self into a wonderful efficiency expert. He has lengthened his stride to reduce the frequency with which he must place one foot before the other, in the necessary art of walking. However, all of his saving and scrimping of energy and labor have only served to augment the already great generosity with which he helps his pals.

Would that a few more of us had such marks as hers. The greatest example of her ambition is that she has made high school in three years. LYNETTE ELIZABETH HOFFMAN, Lottie Dramatic Club Q31 61 00, French Club f4J, Debat- ing Club f4l, College Club. I had often heard people say, She has a won- derful personalityu. I was never able to compre- hend what they meant, until the day that I met sweet, smiling, brown-eyed Lettie . The revelation was complete, to say the least, and somewhat startling. SEVILLA MARY HOFFMAN, Sela Virgil Class The smile upon this young lady's face shows her character much more clearly than could we, with any number of words. We are proud to number her among the very few who have not as yet suc- cumbed to the 'bobbed-hair craze . She is a splen- did pal, a good student, and a girl that one can never forget. The many friends whom she has gathered about her during the school course, will all testify to those facts. EDGAR JAY HOGAN, Ed Council UQ, Business Manager of Mirror UD, Class President fl, 61 f4Q, Spokesman f2J, Drama- tic Club QZQ, f3j, 6: QU, Commencement Speaker. Good old Hogan, the jolly, capable pilot of the Class of '25, In large measure we owe the splendid showing our class has made, to his business ability and capable leadership. His fine scholastic record is a credit to him, and an honor to the rest of us. Everyone of his associates feels him to be a trust- worthy friend, the kind that is loyal always. .IOSEPHINE GERTRUDE HORNICK, jo Art Editor of Mirror, KID, Virgil Class f3D, French Club UU, Debating Club f4Q, College Club. Undoubtedly one of our leading newspapers will some day read: The celebrated artist, Miss jose- phine Hornick, who recently published her latest book, sang to her own accompaniment before a very enthusiastic audience. Indeed, with her talent, her determination, her natural intelligence, student abil- ity, and last but not least, her sense of humor, Central has every reason for its pride in her. ISABELLE VIRGINIA HOWELL. Gin Vice-president of Class UQ, joke Editor of Mirror CII, Basketball QZQ, Virgil Class f3,, French Club f4l, Council f4D, Orchestra Q4-bl, College Club. Here is one of '25's most popular students. She is scarcely ever serious, for who ever saw her with- out a smile on her face, or ever heard her say any- thing cross? She is an optimist, and we are sure that success will be hers, whatever she may take up. 26

When called upon to serve, he is reading, willing and cheerful.

He is not popular in the cheap, ordinary sense of the word, but is truly loved by his close friends, and greatly respected and admired by his wide circle of acquaintances.
