LACY LITTLE McALISTER, Hi. ‘ ‘True a, s- steel, sincere and independent Age, ]7; weight, 142; height, 5 ft. 6 4 ins. Lacy is truly a fortunate boy, for he is a favorite with all the students and the faculty and has been elected the most popular boy in his class. He deserves this popularity, for he is one of those rare beings on whom you can always depend. Lacy is a good athlete and an all-round fine boy. He just will argue and “e’en though vanquished he could argue still. ’ ’ LILLIAN S. M ERR I MON, Jo. “Her lively loots a sprightly mind disclose. 1 Age, 17; weight, 106; height, 5 ft. 4 ins. Lillian is probably one of the most popu¬ lar girls in the school, being the favorite of both sexes. She is naturally one of the brightest Seniors, for although she asserts her constant lack of preparation, she always “pulls swell grades.’’ She is quite an “ivory tickler” and a first-class “Mrs. Ver¬ non Castle,” being elected our best exponent of the dance. She has also been elected the the most attractive girl in the class, and, lest her modesty be doubted, let us assure the gentle reader that this sketch was written by two classmates.

JAMES ALBERT Mr A DAMS, Phi. “He wax wont to speak plain and to the purpose. ’ ’ Age 1S; weight, 156; height, 5 ft. 7 ins. Albert is an exceedingly good student. In geometry he excels and never takes two days to finish one proposition. Albert is a good debater and has been elected one of the Phi. commencement debaters this year. He is noted for keeping the file full of “sick’’ slips. CELIA MARIE GOLDSTEIN, McN. ‘‘None named thee but to praise.’’ Age, 17; weight, 180; height, 5 ft. 9 ins. Most everyone in the High School knows Celia and as every one who knows her likes her, she has been elected the most popular girl in the class. Surely she deserves this honor, for she is so good-natured and has the best heart in the world. Celia is a great high school worker. She is a very accom¬ plished musician. In debating Celia is fine, and some day we expect to hear of Celia as a great suffragette leader. Debating committee of Phi. Society ' 15: Committee of Appeals Phi. Society ' 15; Query Committee Phi.
