Activities: Football, '30 Basketball, '30 French Club, '30 Editor of Athletics Dept. of Taj, '30 In order that this write-up give full credit to the above gentleman, we posed as a census-taker and went to his house to see what he had to say for hi1nselI'. He answered only a few questions before he recognized us and then, on ae- eount ol' his bashfulness, he would not say another word. I-le admitted that his future cook would be a professor's daughter. He agreed witl1 us that Dayton, as a verb, is more interesting than as a noun. He also informed us that he has not decided which college to honor with his pre- sence. NVe might also add that he is a crack baseball player and we're sure that wherever he goes to college, he will be a star. Good luck to you, Junior. We know that with your in- quisitive niind, and questions to the point or oil' the point- you are bound to get at the root of things.

It seems that no one can resist her winning ways and her fascina- ting smiles, especially Staun- ton boys. The fact alone that she has held so many otllces tells us she is one of the most popular and capable girls in high school. Even with all these otliees to iill, she is never too busy to bc accommodating. At all the games and school entertainments Estelle is al- ways therc to cheer and assist. Her work on the Taj stall' is always in on time and is cor- rectly done. The high school will not soon forget Estelle nor will our class. Estelle expects to go to S. T.

Editor-in-ehiel', Taj, '30 It is hard to realize that one so small can be so im- portant in the running ot' ac- tivities in old H. H. S., such as, playing for the important event of t11e school year-thc school playwand. getting up Taj entertainments. XVhere would the Taj be, anyway, if there were no Marlaline to chase down people during thirty-minute period in order to collect the precious dollar from which many are loath to part? The Mirror certainly re- llccts Madaline as she is, for we see her in many places. She is noted as being the most popular, most talented, and having the most individuality and personality ol' any girl in school. And in beauty, the Mirror doesn't forsake her for she is voted second as the best-looking girl among us. There is no doubt in our minds as to whether Madahne will succeed or not. Of course, we know that the future holds something good in store lor her, for one so blessed with such gifts as hers may 1'05f assured tihat they will not desert her!

Scan the various issues of the Taj and there you will find essays, poems, and several one-act plays and short stories by him. NVho is this ol' whom I am speaking? XVhy, XVoodrow, of course!
