'E Ci, 311.0 Cl' DRIC GOLDING- ETHEL CLARK- Sy is our heavy weight. His laugh carries an air of sincerity that cannot be resisted and almost any- thing' tickles him. Sy made a rooting' section by him- self at every frame. CHARLES SHENK- Clarkie is not as boisterous as some of her pals, but she has a way that is all her own. We like Clarkie, she's boyish enough to be a star on any basketball team and quiet enough to be almost incon- spieious at times. Grandpap is the best liked fellow in the class. As hearty and simple in his ways as it behooves a farmer to be, Grandpap is heartily liked. His good humor permits his standing for almost any practical joke and his intellect being' a bit above the average makes him a Senior to be proud of. MARY SLAUGHTER- ERMON CLINGENPEEL Mary's last name is an indication of what she does to music in her endeavors on her saxaphone. Mary has strayed away from us for she is one who makes A's in her subjects. This one fault must be over- looked for she has a highly developed appreciation of humorous things-witness her associations with the Class of '23. Ermon is our shy man. His temperament can t bl0Oh a feminine presence. Ermon is another whole crowd at a basketball game and is disconcertingrly industrious at times. Ermon is first a manly fellow and secondly a student.

.11-0 eg? IULIAN ABELL- Jude is our Rambling Baby at floor guard posi- tion. He has received mention from the sport writers all over the state. Jude will be missed next year, but every good man soon graduates. Jude is president of the Lion Tamer's and one of the few women haters QU in the class. VFDA QUICK- Veda is Jack's buddy and that speaks well for both of them. As a public speaker, Quicky shines like a star on a dark night. Her department is, however, a bit better than Senior ethics permit. She has the faculty of always appearing to be deeply engrossed in some study without being so. OSCAR MORRIS- Brown Dog is a mystery to most of his classmates. Just when everybody least expects it he pulls some joke that upsets the decorum of a plodding class. As good-hearted a pal as one could wish. GARNET ISAACS- Garnet is really so small that any comments and criticisms such as we have been slamming at the rest might crush her. We'll limit ourselves to saying that as a pianist she can't be surpassed and that she ranks along with the rest of the class as a Physics student -which is pretty rank. CLASS G. ll. S.

3 Lf . Cl' he Book of John 1. Now, there dwelt in G. H. S. a certain clan, whose name was Seniors. And there were of them seventeen. 2. And first among them was one John, who was both president and yell leader. And verily the clamorous vocal emissions with which he and his rooters were wont to in- cite the team to more strenuous efforts have been the cause of more than one victory. 3. And secondly there was Jack, whose real name was Edra, and she was possessed of two enormous attri- butes. 4. Being good looks and an appetite. 5. Now there was one in the class, Julian called Jude, who, according to some, was marvelously proficient at playing at basket ball. But these had heard him talk and had not seen him play. 6. For some who had, asserted that he knew not even which side of the basket to catch hold onto. 7. Yet credit is due him for the degree of skill which he attained at double dribbling. 8. Now Eleanor was an artist. And the funny pic- tures which are seen in The Emerald are entirely her fault. For the things she drew best were her weekly H allowances and her breath. 9. Yet she was a good Senior and true, for she did attend every meeting and assist in the general disagree- ment thereof. 10. Now Duke, whose real name was McCoy, was of a certain species called centers. And as wheel-horse on the team there was none more so than he. For the team was builded round him. 11. And Duke was moreover a studious pupil and for this was beloved of his teachers, and frowned upon by his tribe. 12. And Garnet was a musicienne and did pound accompaniment for the Boys' Glee Club. 13. Yet no one held this against her. 14. For her efforts at making music were both sin- cere and hearty, e'en though the effect was lost in the dis- cord of the tenors. 15. Now Clayton was a man of great beauty who-se likeness ye have often seen on Arrow collar advertise- ments. 16. And with vaseline annointed he his hair. 17. Another maiden, M'ary, there was, and she could cause fearful moanings to issue from a curious instrument which she was wont to play. She was known as a man- hfater and to escape them has for some time been planning to organize a colony for women only. 18. Now Jeff, whose business it was 'to chronicle all the personalities of his host of friends, was constantly re- minded that he should not take advantage of his office to give himself a flolwery write-up. 19. And such following stanzas as he has devoted to himself are exactly equal to his host of admirers. 20. And Veda at the beginning of the year was nam- ed as joke editor, for, than her, there was none more jocular. 21. And her sense of humor was highly developed for she associated daily with the Seniors. 22. Now Sir Charles was purser for this motley mob but he was more honest than wise, for he made no money off the class. VLASS G. Il. S. ISP23 Page eighteen ,N Swv
