 ROBERT CLIFT, “Bob” Ag. Club 3, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika, art, 4. We have to give Bob due credit for his artistic talents, because every time Runt Barr wants a funny picture he knows just where to go. As for getting this annual out without his aid, it would have been “pert nigh impossible. Another thing, he has, so far, managed to keep out of dangerous and entangling alliances or to at least silence all rumors. HELEN E. HOLADAY Bird and Flower 2; Latin Club 1, 2, 4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Girls Club 2, 3, 4; B. B. 1, 3, 4; Class Secretary 2; May Fete 3; Junior play; Declamation 1, 4; Purple and White 3; Tennis Club 3; Swastika 4. Helen, according to her own confession “has been in hot water ever since she’s been in high school.” However it is generally the other people that nearly drown. They never can remember that Helen’s probably just fooling. GUY F. LEWIS Danville 1, 2; Com’l Club 3, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Latin Club 4; Junior play. “Gee, why did heaven waste such a marcel on a boy?” was Helen’s remark when she first saw Guy. Guy is just as fine a fellow as his hair is wavy. FLORENCE McMASTER Latin Club 1, 2; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Bird and Flower 1, 2; Secretary-Treasurer 4; Girls’ Club 1, 2, 3; Swastika 4; Purple and White 3; May Fete 1, 2. Florence is the only one of us, so far, to realize her ambition. She is teaching school. When opportunity knocked at her door she cried, “Entrez-vous.” LOUIS MAVIN MALOY Class President 2; Com’l Club 3, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Librarian 4. Mavin has spent most of his time this year managing the library and has done it most efficiently. His other serious occupation has been coaching a class of one in geometry. 1926 Page Nineteen

 SENIOR INDEX PRISCILLA ARTHUR Central High, Madison, Wis. 1, 2; Com’l Club 3, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Girls’ Club 4; B. B. 4; Track 3; Swastika 4. Priscilla has only been among us for a year and a half but what with giving us the low-down on Madison, keeping track of affairs in Washington, and advancing the latest views on every thing, she manages to keep things going. Her ambition is to become famous and so far she has always beeii on the honor roll. RUSSELL M. BARR, “Runt Ridgefarm 1; H. S. Orchestra 3, 4; Com’l Club 3; Lumo Ruido 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4. Russell must be Scotch-Irish, judging from his indignation when his theories in physics are opposed. “In arguing, too, Runt Barr did own his skill, for even though vanquished, he could argue still.” But you must admit he’s a dandy good sort and appreciates a joke with a hearty laugh. MARIE V. BAUM, “Weenie” Operetta 3, 4; Glee Club 1-4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; May Fete 1, 2, 3; Junior Play; Flower Club 2; B. B. 3, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4. Marie has a truly marvelous voice and has been in four choruses. It was utterly useless to try to talk her into being in a fifth one. She also likes acting but she dislikes vamp roles, being (as she says) wholly unsuited for them. Of course “you all know Alphie” at the carnival. PHILIP BURGOYNE, “Phil” Class President 1, 2; Latin Club 2; Com’l Club 3; Ag. Club 3, 4; Bird and Flower Club 2; Glee Club 3, 4; Extempore 3, 4; Yell Leader 3; Operetta 3; Ag. Play 4. Philip came out for extempore speaking and proved to be the mouth piece for the class. However he works best in a flowery setting, and we predict a quiet, restful future in a large greenhouse of his own. LOUIS CLIFT, “Louie” Football 1, 2, 3; Basketball 1; Class President 1, 3, 4; Com’l Club 3; Orchestra 3, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4. Louis is a busy man. What with running an orchestra, getting Swastika ads, and taking care of “Runt”, he’s always busy. What will we do without his xylophone next year? 1926 Page Eighteen

 MARY LOUISE REES, “Louisa” Bird and Flower, 2; Latin Club 1, 2, 4; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; B. B. 2, 3, 4; Secretary-Treasurer 1; May Fete 1, 3; Junior play; Operetta 3, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4; Tennis Club 1-3; Chorus 1-4; Orchestra 3, 4. This little Kiri has been one of the best workers in high school and has taken part in many of its activities. However in counting: up the things that she had done she was deeply chagrined to find that H. H. had gone her a few better. Some of her ambitions are to get up a successful senior party; sing first soprano in the chorus; and play basketball without making faces. MARY J. RICHARDS, “Peggy” Bird and Flower 2; May Fete 1, 2, 3; B. B. 1-4; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; Track 3; Purple and White 3; Com’l Club 3, 4; Swastika 4. “Mary Richards always has something funny to say,” we heard some one remark the other day. She is a good worker and is always on the spot whether it’s cleaning up after a stand or chasing down alumni addresses. ORA BELLE DUKE Monticello 1, 2; Purple and White 3. Ora Belle is one of those modern speed demons (on the typewriter, we mean). She can print, too, and we always call on her when we want some neat posters made. JOSEPH LLOYD EDMONDS, “Joe” Football 1-4; Basketball 2; Track 2, 3; Lumo Ruido 4; Com’l Club 4; Junior Play; President 3. Joe has finally decided that he will have to leave G. H. S. He will be remembered as one of our best football men. Moreover, he has shown a remarkable spirit in leading the senior basketball team through a wonderful season. He was always sure of one stanch supporter during all those heart-rending mixups. 1926 Page Twenty
