Page Ttventy-seven THE 1923 REFLECTOR CLARICE RAMSEY HINES Clarice” Age 16; weight 138; height 5 feet, 3 inches. Activities; Literary Society (2); Commercial Club (3), (4); Science Club (2); Athletic Association (1), (2), (3), (4). Act—act in the living present.” Clarice doesn ' t advertise herself at all, but those in her classes know that she is one of the smartest and best students in the Senior Class. Clarice doesn’t fly around at the last minute pale and haggard, trying to get up late lessons. She is always serene and smiling with the conscious¬ ness of work well done. CLARENCE HOBBS Clarence Activities: Boys ' Athletic Association; Physics- Chemistry Club; Literary Society. Ye Gods. I am vamped again. We don ' t believe Clarence hates it as bad as he seems to, but with all his “ladies-man-ness, lie is quite apt at manual arts. Some new carved dice or peach seed graces the end of his watch chain every day. Clarence seems everywhere in his little skeeter, which, if we are not mistaken, lie made himself. We are sure that some day he will outclass Woolworth or even Ford him¬ self. FRANK HOBBS Frank Age 17: weight 145; height 5 feet, 11 inches. Activities: Athletic Association (2), (3), (4): Football (4); Class Basketball (4); Track (3) ; Literary Society (2). Thinking is but an idle waste of thought. Tho’ Frank doesn’t use his brain very much we do not intend to imply that he hasn’t one. He does have a brain and a very good one too. as evidenced by the witty remarks he sometimes utters on class. Frank has always been an ardent devotee of basketball and he has been quite a success in the class series.

Not only is she a fine student, hut she has been known to handle delicate situations with rare finenesse. Though possessed (if a large following among the “mere men” of the class, she is able, at times, to so far neglect them as to follow the call of the muses. She is a lovable, attractive pal, of whose friendship anyone might well be proud. RUTH B. HARDING “Ruth” Age 17; weight 125; height 5 feet, 7 inches. Activities: Athletic Association (3), (4); Glee Club (-) ; Hi-Collect Club (3). “I laugh for hope hath a happy place with me.” “Giggle! Giggle! here comes Ruth. She seems to have a monopoly on them. We can’t imagine Ruth being serious. We ' re sure the I. 13’s, whatever that is, could not have existed without Ruth! MARY LUCILE HART “Lucile” Age 17; weight 94; height 5 feet, 1 inch. Activities: Debating Club (4); Latin Club (4): Science Club (4). “I slept and dreamed that life was beauty. I woke and found it duty.” One cannot imagine Lucile with her lessons unprepared. Very often has she astonished the Latin Class with her flowery translations. We have but one thing to regret, and that is she came to us in our Senior year; ' 23 likes you, Lucile.

THE 1923 REFLECTOR RUTH ELIZABETH “Ruth” Age 17; weight 150; height 5 feet, 7 inches. Activities: Literary Society (1); Athletic Asso¬ ciation (1); Glee Club (4). A good heart is worth gold.” Ruth is one of the very few blessed with an even temper. Like all those so favored, she gets along remarkably well. She never has been known to “fly off the handle.” She pursues the even tenor of her ways, absolutely unruffled by the things that send the rest of us into fits. CATHERINE HOBGOOD “Catherine” Age 18; weight 122; height 5 feet, 7 inches. Activities: Athletic Association (2), (3). (4); Literary Society (2), (3); Science C lub (1); Basketball Squad (1); Volleyball (3). “Still rivers run deep.” Catherine lives on the principle that children (including all school girls up to twenty years of age) should be seen and not heard, except when called on by a teacher. Then, says she. they should be heard as long as they have anything to say. Catherine acts accordingly and her grades testify to the fact that when she does say something it is the right thing. WILBUR LEEROY HODGKIN “Wilbur” Age 18; weight 120; height 5 feet, 6J4 inches. Activities: Hi-Collect Club (2); Class Poet; Wilsonian Literary Society; Science Club (3); Short Story Club (4); Debating Club (4); French Club (4); Class Song Writer (4); Glee Club (4). “What harmony is this. My good friends hark!” Wilbur is blessed (?) with an artistic tempera¬ ment. His contributions to his class are both poetic and musical. It will be many years be¬ fore his friends forget that crowning achievement “Just a Sophomore. Our appreciation will al¬ ways follow him.
