RUTH MIRIAM PLATT HRUT1-IIE 105 SOUTH LAKE The shortest girl in our class, you see, A cute little, clever little lass is she. Our i'Ruthie is very proficient in mathematics and quite bright in civics, so bright, in fact, that she does nearly all her other lessons in that class. She is also very adept at translating French and makes her versions very interesting by always using the more humorous meaning. She is very fond of quoting Shakespeare, especially one line from Macbeth. She corresponds quite frequently with some one at Cornell. She says she was quite a good girl in Washington except for wearing ear- rings, going to the Cayety theater, and a few other minor details. She loves automobile riding and P Oh, indeed, she's not as solemn nor as innocent as she looks. WESLEY AGA RICHARDSON HVVAGAH LAKE STREET Here we are! Uncle Walt, a decidedlly ap- propriate name for Aga as we discovered in the Senior play wheni a settee large enough for him to get under could not be procured. As a result, a table was selected to conceal him. He says he had a perfectly urippingn time at the Washington monument. So impressed was he with the muse- ums that he has started one of his own, judging from the collection of rings he wears on his Watch chain. This romantic and vain Senior has three amusements of which he is very fond-dancing, hiking and hunting. But, girls, he has one bad 4 F habit. He talks in his sleep! LOIS SOPI-IIA RIEFLER ' - LOlE HAMBURG, N, Y. Labor omnia vincitf, virtually spell Lois Riefler. Hard work, perseverance, patience, am- bition, and a good sense of humor have gained for Lois a place among the best students of the class of '23. She is quite an elocutionist as those who heard a certain debate in assembly this year will testify. Judging from these qualifications it would seem that Lois is perfectly justified in choos- ing school teaching as her profession. Her worthy characteristics indeed form a rainbow of promise for her future. - ,

Not every class can boast of twins on its roll, as can ours. However, Luella is Lois' twin in birth- day only. Her ideas are decidedly her own and vastly different from those of her sister. Luella intends to become a nurse, and if she continues to wreathe her face in smiles she will most cer- tainly attain success in her profession. Success, as worthily defined by this promising young student, is dsatisfaction at having been of service SARAH ELIZA SALISBURY 128 PLEASANT AVENUE is a great success. She our lVloon. However, she and no play would make consequently, can be seen the back of the room gos- neighbors. She and jim Bley must have a great deal in common for they hold frequent long conversations.
