Chester Vinton Adams It is a good rule to endeavor to work hard. The Rabbit and Cavy club is thankful to Chet for the fine rabbits he has exhibited under the club's name. Chet's one ambition is to become an expert in the rabbit line. Besides raising these jumpy ani- mals he fills in the rest of his time delivering 'ege- tables for his father. John Elmer Aho shall go journeying pleasantly. Though not exactly Fortune's favorite son, John manages to overcome all obstacles which hinder his purpose.

Edith Elvira Anderson Thou'rt like unto a floiver, As fair, as pure, as bright. Edith is one of our dearest little classmates. Her lovely blue eyes, brown hair, and dainty slenderness make her especially sweet and loveable. One of her favorite occupations is to drive around in her own car. Together with Harriet, she enthusias- tically attended all the football and basketball games. Ruth Marjorie Anderson make friends by the hour. Ruth certainly has a lot of friends, and she de- serves them. She is a great athlete, too, and excels in hockey, basketball, and volleyball. The Turners would be lost without her.

V iiho Ail4o MtT Altro 1912 orion DonalJ Ckalmars Waino William Aalto Not fortune's minion, but her favorite son. Waino, one of the most popular boys in school has had the honor of being our class president for two years. He is fond of dancing and managed to find time to indulge in this, his favorite pas- time.

Mary Albro A heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute. Mary has an uncann ' ability for accomplish- ment. As editor-in-chief of the Red and ( .ray and ice-president of her class, she had more than the lion's share of responsibility heaped upon her.

Councillor (2), Dramatic Club, French Club (3-4), Red and C.rav Board, Marshal, Round Table (4). Donald Chalmers am sure care's an enemy to life. Don, a hale and hearty youth, owes his un- usual popularity to his refreshing optimism and engaging smile. He was acti e as a meniber of the band, and as manager of the basketball team.

Nancy, no doubt, should figure in the great world of affairs, providing romance does not cut short such a career.

Mary Baldwin The skies ?iiight claim thee for their mun. Mary towers above most of her classmates — per- haps that's why she makes such a good forward in basketball.
