MISS KI TH UTILE KOSS This Titian haired lady arrived among us only this year, hut already she has made a place for herself in the hearts of a large number of students, including all the Fresh- men. In fact, she seems to make friends with everybody easily. She has a breezy, refreshing manner, altogether without affec- tation; a keen, wholesome, enthusiastic in- terest in life; and a strong sense of humor which serves her well. Her eyes are a mar- velous. deep, velvety brown, capable of ex- dressing any mood. She is well versed in the art of wearing clothes and always looks neat and pleasing. MR. F. FAY SMITH Mr. Smith taught in the High School the first semester, but he went about his work so quietly and with so few rebukes that those whom he did not teach hardly knew he was about. We appreciated his work very much and we regretted his departure at the end of the semester. MISS BESSIE JANE REED The better we know Miss Reed, the better we like her. She takes great interest in everything that appeals to young folks. She gives excellent service not only as librarian, but also in the various organiza- tions fo. girls in the High School. 22
