THE LAUREL 31 HIS HONOR, THE PRESIDENT UR class president, Philip Glendon Hines, was elected by a majority vote of the Sophomore class last fall. He is well known about school as a practical joker and acrobat. He is not subject to inferiority complex when presiding at class meetings. Philip is about five feet in height, nor- mal weight, and has the frame of an ath- lete. His brown eyes sparkle with fun and merriment. His complexion and straight, upstanding hair remind one of an Indian. Though burdened with upholding the dignity of his position, the President is jovial and condescends to enjoy mischief such as gum-chewing and communication with his humbler classmates. His ringing laugh fguiTaw?j will echo through the old sc'hool building a hundred years from now, if it is still standing. Our class president's scholarship is of the best. This spring he has gone out for baseball as his second athletic experience in high school, having been a candidate for foot- ball last fall. He has never been known to pay any attention to girls, although we strongly suspect that the proximity of his seat to Miss Keith's is not an act of fate! C. N. Oliver, '32. HER LADYSHIP, THE VICE-PRESIDENT LAURA MAXINE LEAVITT, the young lady in question, holds this ofiice by virtue of popular opinion. It is really only a title, for she doesn't have to do a thing, because the President presides regularly. She is also Editor of the Sophomore sec- tion of THE LAUREL. QSO if you do not like our department, blame her.J Laura is a young miss about tive feet tall and is subject to plumpness of a pleas- ing variety. She has small feet and hands with slightly plumper legs and arms. fShe complains of being fat all the time, but she isn't so fat as she thinks.j She fhas black hair, which'is naturally curly. Dark and sweeping eyelashes fall over grayish-blue eyes. A small mouth and nose are attractive features, also. Pearly white teeth gleam behind her dainty red lips 3 and an olive-tinted skin with rosebuds on each cheek, that are not artificial as most rosy cheeks are, com- pletes her coloring. All in all s'he is rather attractive, if not really pretty, and looks more so as she wears such good- looking clothes. ' As an Editor , I don't like her very well, because of the 'habit she has of keep- -ing us in suspense, telling us that she is putting something in THE LAUREL that will make us wriggle. 'Dhen when we get inquisitive, she smiles and looks wise. fShe probably hasn't put anything in that she will disturb us, in the least.j While likes -to tease, she herself has a sweet and agreeable disposition, not scrapping and quarreling with anyone. fExcept her sisters, whiclh is natural.j She also, to my way of thinking, is a vamp worthy of consideration! She beguiles the smart- est boy in class, with her diabolical cun- ning. fMy personal opinion is she does it to get help on that Geometry, which she can 't see any more sense to than I do.j Then, too, the school drummer falls for her charms! He blushes furiously some- times. fThere is a method in her mad- ness here, too. She just adores riding in a rumble-seat, but not All by herself in the moonlightluj On the whole, though, she is the one of our class who will not soon be forgotten by any of us. Ml Hagerstrom, '32. HER ACXIURACY, THE SECRETARY GENTLE READER, allow me to present to you the Sophomore Class Secretary, Alice Leah Ryan. Miss Ryan is a good-looking girl, blessed wtith naturally wavy, dark brown hair, whicfh is accompanied by blue- gray eyes. These eyes of Alice's appear

32 THE LAUREL to -be blueg in fact, I've always thought that they were blue, until Alice informed me that they were gray. Alice, or Al as she is usually called by her friends, is a remarkably good pal. One could scarcely hope for a better one. Al is also a very good student. She has 'her lessons every day, which is more than most of the Sophomore Class can say. She is an all-around good sport, hav- ing played on the basketball team last year, and has been a member of the Glee Club both years. Alice also dances. QWe hear she is taking jack to the Promlj Al is very fond of reading, and she also likes to write stonies and draw pictures. In tlhe recent contest sponsored by Current Lit- erature, she contributed a very interesting book, and she sent entries also to the National Awards -Contest, besides doing her bit for THE LAUREL. Alice is very polite, but she does like to tease some. Of course, no one minds that 5 anyway, they don't have a chance to., She is usually -sweet tempered, but sometimes - Oh, well, if I tell' you she 's Irish, you 'll un- derstand. Personally, let me say 'I am proud to have Al for a friend. She is of a cheerful and optimistic nature, and is very popular with all her classmates, who en- joy her immensely. E. McGary, '32, .-ii... HIS HONESTY, THE TREASURER AMONG the highly respected members of the Sophomore Class is one Thomas An- tonio Roderick, otlherwise known as Tommie . Tommie , the trustworthy treasurer, is also our class jester. Tommie is rather fastidious of dress. His brilliant -scarlet shirt, blue pants and sweater are always bright and unwrinkled. He wears a beautiful blue and red neck- tie, fto carry out his color schemej which is always perfectly tied and adjusted. From his respectable shoes to his auburn hair, which is invariably neatly combed and parted, his sturdy athletic build ever presents a trim, meticulous appearance. If coming events cast their .shadows before them, QI read that in a Lucky Strike Cigarette advertisementj Tom- mie will probably become in due time, one of our sulbstantial, well-rounded American business men, who takes his play quite seriously. He not only passes all his studies with a comfortable margin, but also by steady work earns a position on our various athletic teams. Then, too, after tlhe movies he may be found indus- triously engaged at Broadway Theater. In fact, Tommie's interests are so manifold that he finds little time to enjoy the society of the weaker sex. Tom- mie understands the art of cajoling us out of our hard-earnedf?j money in his duties as collector. In fact, he seems to have an uncanny instinct as to the oppor- tune moment when that fifteen cents will be forthcoming. In his role as class jester for gesturej Tommie apparently finds as much en- joyment as his amused classmates do, in watching his cunions gestures, for: He takes great pleasure when reciting In walking up and down 3 delighting His fellow classmates, While he relates That a cocoon is a bumblebee, And a stripling is a green, young tree! Surely, our class would not be the same without our genial, humorous, but steady and reliable Tommie Roderick. ' P. Hines, '32. THEIR EXCELLENCIES, THE STUDENT COUNCIL MILDRED GUDIVA HAGERSTROM, infor- mally called Babe by the class of '32, is herewith presented to THE LAUREL. Do we envy her? Not a bit! She has a fading permanent that goes well with her ,rounded face and blue eyes imprisoned by newly acquired spectacles, which she appears to enjoy. Her flash- 'a
