VVILLIAM STARK. Bill Stark is a quiet, tow-headed fel- low, with bashful ways, he is always ready for a good laugh in any of his classes. Although he cannot debate as well as his brother, he can argue. R. W. S. LORENZ STOCKHAUS. Any senior would be pardoned for en- vying Lorenz his dignity and size, while the juniors point to him with pride. His peculiar smile, with dimples appearing, makes him a friend at sight. Always serious in his studies and always in the best of moods, at Commerce he is known as a star in athletics. H. V. E. CHARLES SUNKEL. Worthy of a good position When he does his best. So pleasant is his disposition, It's seldom given a rest. ROSS SWOGGER. A boy who is five feet three inches tall, has broad shoulders, wears blue suits, has hair brushed to a pompadour, and makes friends with everybody. MATILDA THELMAN. Yes, that is her name, Watchful, helpful, alert, she follows her aim To be a teacher, and win much fame. Her highest ideal, she will reach, never fear, As she's thoughtful, most wise, and very sincere. EDITH TIFFANY. My subject is a study in black and white. With black hair and eyes, and tiny white shoes, Chiplets makes a pretty picture on the gym floor. Our little lassie's happiest hours are when she is playing her part as Captain of the Junior basketball team. M. A. ANDREW TOMCHIK. The Time: Spring term of year 1914 A. D. Every day the ninth hour- The Place: Room 16-first row, fourth seat- The Boy: Quiet, bright, dreamy-eyed little Andrew Tomchick. 103 ELSIE TORRY. Her head tilted to one side, she wears the expression, If I don't -get there today I will tomorrow. Yet underlying this listlessness dwells a vivacious and inliexi- ble spirit. For lo, behold! when basket- ball is mentioned a new person confronts you. HILDA VOM ENDE. A small, slender, fair-haired girl, she is very quiet and shy, but when a classmate says something humorous, her eyes twin- kle delightfully. No hooks, eyes or but- tons are ever missing for her, every- thing must be in order. Work is a pleas- ure to her, whether home tasks or les- sons. A. M. F. EDNA WALKER. I Ever ready, always true, Careful and propitious, too, Does not take the means for end, All mistakes she tries to mend. J. S. JEANNETTE WARSHAWSKY. Jeanette is rather tall and slender, with dark eyes and dark hair. She has always a fascinating smile, which indi- cates she is always happy and friendly. She has made many friends at school be- cause of her actions and her interest in her school work. F. W. MYRTLE WEBER. Her cheeks are like the rose, her eyes are like the sky, she is very modest, but when she once begins talking, it is very hard to stop her. Her favorite subject is English. E. B. MOLLIE WEINBERG. Mollie is a girl of good ability, when she uses her best judgment. Her ambi- tion in life will prove satisfactory, be- cause she has the right ideas of how to go about her work. Her only hatred is Washing dishes on a summer's evening. Although possessing some egotism, Mol- lie treats her friends as friends. C. C. MALVINA WEISS. This tall, slender girls shows a Hower- like grace in every motion. Housework she detestsg but her place seems to be in the garden, for she loves outdoor work. Flowers fade when brought to school, but Cupid thrives on lessons and likes all her studies, especially Commercial Law. F. L. B.

RHEA PRIVES. Notwithstanding her bird-like timidity, her bright eyes, when centered on one, seem to read the innermost mind. She is quiet, but likes a good time, although she would rather read than do anything else. Often brilliant in recitations, it is sel- dom that she comes without her lessons well prepared. LLEWELYN REESE. Acountry lad, blue-eyed and fair, Always ready to do his share. A more faithful lad cannot be found, Than he whose kingdom is the ground. ERWIN SAUERNHEIMER. 'The boys call him Sauers. He plays on the varsity teams and on the violin. But in classes he plays off, FLORENCE SCHULTZ. Always laughing, always gay, she is a synonym for all that is rollicking and care-free. On that terrible day of re- port cards, Florence is happy because she has always found time to study as well as laugh. Florence is an excellent basketball guard, which some poor Senior has found out to her sorrow. E. T. EDNA SCHUMAN. This girl is of medium height, and has big blue eyes. Her eyes show that she is very intelligent in her work, and this we can prove by her report card. When in an amiable mood she does things from a spirit of kindness, but at other times she does things from a sadly different motive. T. B. MARIE SCHWARTZ. A light-haired, brown-eyed maid, a girl with a calm look, combined with a fre- quent twinkle of the eyes in which de- termination predominates, is easily rec- ognized as Marie Schwartz. Her talent for arts may bring her success if she continues to use her qualities as conscien- tiously as at present. F. G. 2 HELEN SCOTT. Helen is fond of swimming, but her most unpleasant occupation is to afford her dog the same pleasure. Yet she is not hard-hearted, nor does she consider herself too good for service. The poise of her head suggests independence. Her favorite occupation is the portrayal of likenesses. I. H. B. ARTHUR SIMAK. An old-fashioned, courteous little boy of sweet sixteen, he is shy of the girls. Outside of school he is, apparently, like other boys, providing no girls are around. Abundant knowledge is, no doubt, stored behind his ears, nevertheless it takes him a long time to see through Mr. Heald's jokes. SYLVIA SINGER. Her cheerfulness and pleasant ways are the results of trying to live up to her ideals. Her favorite recreations are mil- linery and dancing. Can she take a joke? Ask her. She helps her friends and doesn't know the word hate. VIOLET SLATER. A cheery smile, a pleasant good-morn- ing, and she hurries on to room six. Violet's mind never tires. When Mr. Heald calls, Violet Slater, a voice like the murmuring breeze is heard in answer. JANETT SMITH. Janett Smith, a shy little girl, always sees the jolly side of life. She denies that she is Irish, but it matters not, whatever or wherever she is, she will make good. MARTHA SPERBER. Martha Superba is crowned by auburn locks which suggest the ardency of her nature. Her pet pursuits are art and the cause of feminism. She is big in ideals, strong in character, sweet and lovable in personality. H. S. ROSE SPERO. Here's a girl who sees a joke in the Tale of Two Cities, but she is a curious contradiction. Rosie is always the first one to be in her seat and ready for work. Owing to her lisping or her timidity, she is unable to stand up straight when called upon for a recitation. E. M.

FLORENCE WELLS. This black-eyed maid is pleasing on account of her quiet ways. Her head being often tilted on one side, gives her a meditative air. However, she is cheer- ful as Well as thoughtful, and her pleas- ant smile and courteous manner make her a favorite with us. M. W. CATHERYN WOODFORD. Long braids of golden hair are thine, Stately grace, and face divine 5 A voice that puts the birds to shame, Perhaps it rivals Patti's fame. VVALTER WRONNA. He is small for a Junior, of quiet mood and dreams of impossible inventions. When not dreaming, he is studying or indulging in sports. His mischievous blue eyes, blonde pompadour and pink cheeks vie in attractiveness, while his smile suggests bashfulness and timidity. H. O. JUNIOR CLASS OF 1915. I B. HAZEL ALTHOFF. Dignified, jolly, musical, wasteful,-es- pecially with valuable time, is this brown- eyed maiden, who enjoys dancing and is always at ease even when her lessons are not prepared. How odd for her never to have a secret and to dislike dish- washing. M. M. B. ELVIRA ARNDT. Although a quiet girl, she is the pos- sessor of a clear, emphatic voice which may be heard in all parts of the room. If penmanship is indicative of a person's characteristics, Elvira must be very neat, precise and accurate. MAY CHANDLER. Distinguished by her soft, brown eyes, and amiable manner. TILLIE BERKOWITZ. In Tillie, one sees a Winsome girl, whose smiling face denotes good nature. When she becomes a business woman, the bloom will not fade from her cheeks, because of her strong love for out-door sports. 104 BEN COHEN. y He has a nature jolly and gay, For adventure, a liking he shows each day, So from Central to Commerce, his path he would take For his course a sure foundation to make. HAROLD DACEY. The Junior girls say that Harold Dacey is a nice fellow. Is it because he has rosy cheeks and velvety brown eyes? None of them have ever openly declared their sentiments, nor would it have any effect if they should do so, for one can readily see by Harold's determined air that his business is to be foremost in the procession. ETHEL DAVIS. Ethel has a very decided manner and likes to be ruler among her friends. Nevertheless, she makes friends easily and what is better, she has the knack of keeping them.
