Noted for her happy-go-lucky air. MERRILL ALEXANDER GREENE. I’ve often wushcd that 1 had clear For life, six hundred pounds a year. “Greenie” seems to have a rather difficult time holding down a job this year.

Noted for his piano playing at football prac- tices. BEATRICE MAE FINN. Fat, jolly, and fair. Mae has such an innocent look that you would never guess what a mischievous piece she is.

What care I when I can lie and rest Kill time, and take life at its very best. “Bert” does just about enough to cover the law.

HELEN MARIE HASSET. Dip nity and austerity rule supreme. “Sticks” is some good-looking girl and also quite speedy in shorthand. Her heart left F. H. S. when a certain young man did, hut cheer up, Helen, there will he others at normal school next year. Noted for her lofty air. HERMAN OSCAR HOHBERGER. Smiling always with a never-failing serenity of countenance. Herman thinks he will be an orator some day, judging from appearances at recess. His chief occu- pation is studying, but loafing comes a close second. He is noted for his arguments for the financial side of the class book. HAROLD HENRY HOLDEN. All dressed up and nowhere to go. “Fat” has a pretty good opinion of himself and likes to be considered a “tough guy.” He has never done any studying and bluffs all the time except in examinations. He drives an auto on the side and we expect to see him chauffeur for Tommy Blood some day. AMY CATHERINE HOLLAND. So much good so truly tried Some for her were deified. “Mon Amie” has been pretty busy this year an- swering letters, receiving callers, and acting in her official capacity as custodian of cast-off class pins. Amy is headed for Radcliffe, where she hopes to become learned enough to teach French (at F. H. S.?). J. G. T. 26
