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.

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.

Nat- tie, possessing a happy nature, is always t11e kind to have aroundg it's she who reminds us ol' our neglected or forgot- ten lessons and cheers us when we'rc blue. Nattie is game for everything, and her sense of humor is very much in evidence. She can always be seen mullling a giggle in class or thoroughly enjoying the many jokes and wise cracks circulating about the school. Besides these qualities, Nat- tie has always been consider- ed unc ol' our best students, and her grades are something to he proud of. Certainly H. H. S. is sutl'er- ing a great loss, but our loss is H. T. C's gain-and we'1l say, they,re getting a line capa- ble girl.
