Kit has created quite an impression on us the short time she has been here. Noted for her Oooh dear grunt. General Course. James Hogan I to manhood have arrived so near Jimmie has a bad habit of talking to himself when reciting in class. This can only be laid to bashfulness, as outside he gives better proof of a good pair of lungs. He has become greatly in- terested in the welfare of '27.

The only time that Jerry was ever spoken to was in 24 his Junior year. Do you remember, Jerry? If Jerry has anything in the line of school work, then any- one in the class may have it. He is noted for his generosity and for his diffidence. Commercial Course. Erva Hough Speech is silver, silence is golden — Carlyle Erva certainly believes in the superiority of gold over silver every time.

She designed the scenery of the Class Play. Famous for her stillness. General Course. Dramatic Club. Chorus. Class Book Committee.

Hucky manages to get all his school work done in spite of being chief drafts- man. Expression: Oh, go on, honest? Industrial Course. Class Book.

R. is a wonder at that study. Mr. Chalmers kept him in 44 one whole year because of his proficiency. All recess John sits in the lunch room and eats, and eats, and eats. Few of us study in school as hard or fast as J. R. We couldn't begin a football game without John in the stand. 'Tis said that John's telepathic messages to the quarter-back were re- sponsible for all those brilliant plays last fall. Noted as class hero. Commercial Course.
