ELIZABETH ESTHER CLEGG, 10. “Her modest looks the cottage might adorn, Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn.” Age 18; Weight 110; Height 5 FT. 7 in. Elizabeth is a lovely girl with rosy cheeks, soft brown hair, and lustrous eyes. It is rather hard to know her because she is very particular to whom she talks. She does not often recite but when she does, knows just what she’s talking about and gets good grades accordingly. She was elected the most dignified girl of the Senior Class. ALICE MAUDE JOHNSTON, IO. “Her pencil drew whate’er her soul de¬ signed, And of the happy draught surpassed the image in her mind.” Age 19; Weight 105; Height 5 ft. 5 in. What would we have done without Alice Maude? You may answer if you can. She made the “Sage” with her sketches and has helped to make the Reflector” in like man¬ ner. With untiring zeal and true devotion to duty she has labored for her class and for her school. Nor does all this extra work check her progress in her studies. A teacher is very much surprised when he catches Alice Maude napping.

OSCAR ALBERT BOYST, Dl. “Women or fools must like him or he dies. Age 19; Weight 133; Height 5 ft. 6 in. Ever since Oscar was in the eighth grade he has helped to create the spirit of the school. It would be hard to find anyone who has the interest of old G. H. S. closer to his heart than has Oscar. He is very obliging and will work his head off on any plan just so it’s a good one. He was chosen the biggest sport of the class. The girls usually like to have him around since he’s sure to have concealed in some of his pockets, either candy or chewing gum.

Ye nymphs of rosy lips and radiant eyes Age 17; Weight 109; Height S ft. 3 in. Variety is the spice of life” and so is “Pinkie.” We don’t know how we got along without her during the two years she spent at Salem but we found that the old saying goes, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” Her sparkling eyes and ready wit attract and stir the hearts of the boys. Margaret is truly ' loved by every member of the Senior Class. In some way, unknown to us, she managed to ac- cpiire the epithet of “Class Flirt.”

(R atvd A (pj JtQJVZJL ROBERT JACKSON PEARCE. Dl. “A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest men. Age 17; Weight 128; Height 5 ft. 7 in. “Bob” has been rightly elected “the j oi¬ liest boy” of the class. He can even make Mr. Rogers laugh. Very meek and mild looking is he but there’s no trouble or mis¬ chief to which “Bob” is not a party. It is this kind of boy who usually has the sense and so it is in this case. Bob is as bright as bright can be and when he doesn’t hide this quality succeeds in making very high marks. Monitor Di.

You never see her unless she is either reading a long epistle or very ener¬ getically writing one. She is very fond of Guilford and saunters out on every occa¬ sion. Myrtle is truly blessed with good temper and good times. She enjoys life to the fullest and drinks her cup “running over.” Press Reporter McN.
