DONALD PAUL. The song-bird of the class, And loved by every lad and lass. WALTER PECK. Liquid brown eyes, and a prominent nose, And every one likes him Wherever he goes. GEORGE PELLON. George Pellon is a dark-eyed Junior, who is generally seen with a smile on his face. He seems interested in his school work, and, like most boys, is interested in athletics. MAX POLLOCK. A worker, when he has a mind to be. VIOLA PORTER. A demure maiden, whose wonderful eyes betoken vast unexplored treasures, and deep and conscientious thoughts. She possesses few but firm friends, and seems to aspire to the position of School Secretary. EDWARD REZAC. Edward Rezac is the man from Spot- less Town. His collars are always the whitest, the polish of his shoes the brightest. and his clothes always spick and span. He is great at gymnastic stunts. LILLIE RITTER. Lillie is a kindly, thoughtful, pleasant girl, Who shuns too much noise and the social swirl, Athletics she deems her great enjoyment, Housework's her most dread employment. REBECCA ROSENBERG. Above her nose, between her eyes, A little frown, a friend oft spies, With this exception, she seems quite gay, But says she has cares, by this one way. CLYDE SACKETT. Clyde has an affable manner, and be- cause of his thirst for knowledge, he comes about twenty miles to attend the High School of Commerce. His love for athletics has won him a position as a leader in the gymnasium. We hope for his success as an athlete when a Senior. 108 ELLA SCARFF. Of medium height and dark complex- ion, Ella appears neat at all times. Her quiet disposition makes her feel uneasy when among strangers. At home she spends her time reading books and play- ing the piano, and is especially devoted to these when it is time to Wash dishes. FLORENCE SCHLACHT. This young lady, although small in stature, shows her classmates that she in- tends to make a name for herself in the world. She is shy and conscientious, and her determination is best shown by the way she prepares her lesson for class. WALTER SCHMIELETZKY. Every time he is seen outside of the English Room, he is either typewriting or reading. He doesn't say very much, but one word from a quiet person is worth five from a talkative one. HENRY JUMBO SCHREIBER. Fond of sauerkraut, wieners, music and the girls, a second Caruso. S. N. REUBEN SHAW. He appears to be shy and bashful, is alert, always ready for work and does it the best he possibly can. He is cour- teous, cheerful, brave, and helpful. As he is Captain of his troop of Boy Scouts he loves Hiking and Camp- ing. PEARL SHULMAN. Our Santa's hair has turned dark brown, and he has lost his frosty beard. There is a twinkle in his blue eyes, and a graceful curve to his lips. How vel- vety his rosy cheeks appear, and look, he wears a waist and skirt! In short, St. Nicholas has become entirely feminine and transformed himself into our sweet, smiling, sunny St. Pearl. HILDA SISSER. Hilda is such a cut-up, that at home they call her scissors, Inside that fuzzy head, however, there are fine phil- anthropical ideas. Who knows but that in her, we shall have a second Henry Ford?

DOROTHY KUHLMAN. Dorothy possesses a friendly disposi- tion and is Very considerate of others. Although she has a look of dreamy re- flection, she is always ready with an answer when called upon to recite. Pa- tient and pleasant, she never seems to get excited. Out-door sports with her are not to be compared with staying at home and reading. FLOYD LEASE. Characterized by his humor and indo- lent manner. He is sweet sixteen and has never been kissed. HAZEL LE VERE. This dark-eyed, jolly lass, whose pleas- ing disposition has won her many friends, is an ardent suffragct. She is very fond of sweets, dances, and parties. Her hob- by is basketball, which she supports with animation. SARAH LOEWENTHAL. A sweet little lass, the happy posses- sor of dark hair, laughing eyes and rosy cheeks. Her cheerful appearance has won her a place in the hearts of teachers and schoolmates. 'CA winter day is dark indeed If Sarah's smile cannot be seen. MINNIE MAECKER. Minnie Maecker is a surprise. Any one looking at this small, rosy-cheeked girl, would judge her timid and afraid to talk, but when you know her you find that she is just the opposite. She is full of fun, pleasant and Ve1'y inter- esting. Although she gets nervous when called upon to recite, she is always pre- pared with an answer. I. P. MARIE MARSH. May I have one more trial? This is the spirit with which Marie attacks her work. FLORENCE MEESE. Florence Meese is the kind of girl that story-writers describe, her predominant characteristic is deliberation. She walks deliberately, talks deliberately, and thinks deliberately. 7 JOHN MONAHAN. A tall and brawny lad is John, Who takes a joke, is full of fung His large eyes that dance with joy, Show that he is an honest boy. JAY MONSON. Can you picture a lad of medium height who is rather dark, shy, moderate of speech and slow in making friends? If you can you will have a view of this junior lad. One can tell that he is trust- worthy and faithful by the expression of his eyes. Politeness and courtesy to every one seems to be his motto. A. A. B. SYLVESTER SHORTHAND MORRIS. Ambitious student, mechanical wheel- builder and skillful rider. Let's hope he has no cogwheels in his head. CHARLES MOTTO. Characterized by a peculiar but grace- ful walk, swings his arms and laughs as he goes. Interested in ball and plays with vim. Small but alert, blushes often, and in summer his light suit contrasts with his dark complexion. G. C. STEWART SNOOKUMS NEWKIRK. His favorite occupations are blushing, swimming, and smiling at the girls. He is also the class comedian. D. J. S. ESTHER NODERER. I know of no better way of describing Esther Noderer than by using these words of Milton's: Yet, when I approach Her loveliness, so absolute she seems, And in herself complete, so well to know Her own, that what she wills to do or say, Seems wisest, virtuousest, discreetest, best. HILDA OBERG. A dark-eyed girl of seventeen, With habits that are good and clean' A lover of books and to study with might, Shelll surely win in life's great fight. 7

JACOB SPIRA. Jacob Spira's strongest points are ar- gumentation and a desire to express his thoughts freely. He is very good-natured, and a smile from a maiden at any time pleases him. MARY STANTON. Her big brown eyes often show sur- prise at the lack of confidence she has in herself. Her motto must be: After your work is thought out it is practically done. She will make a better suffragette leader than a housewife, for she dislikes house- work very much. DONALD J. STIEFEL. Donald Stiefel has four ambitions, scholarship, sports, debating and being a jolly good fellow. ELSIE STROUT. Rosy and short of stature, Dignified and faithful. E. W. ELSIE TEGGE. Elsie is an excellent example of the militant suffragette. After graduating, she will join Mrs. Pankhurst for an es- pecially violent campaign. Let us hope that this fanatic can be restrained for another year and that she may do no harm in school to the sex she so much detests. M. H. EDWARD TENGLER. In classes our hero seems to indulge in day-dreams. Among his fellow-stu- dents, however, he has developed into a great orator who undoubtedly some day will prove a second Webster or a second- rate Webster, as his arguments do not always stand the test. H. W. BESSIE THORKELSON. Bessie Thorkelson is like a lily I once saw. The lily was tall and graceful and when it moved it swayed gently. Her speech and thoughts are as slow as her actions, and, like them, are always kind, for she does nothing in haste. 109 MAURICE TOBKIN. Eyes beaming with mischief, self-con- Hdent, impulsive, yet methodical, he at- tacks a subject with determination. Deep study is his recreation, helping neglected boys his delight, he stands for what is honorable, truthful, and upright. D. K. ELSIE TREISTER. Friendly and full of fun, when she laughs all want to join ing when she is angry people avoid her, but neither mood lasts long, and Elsie is just a good friend. R. R. VLADIMIR TUMA. He likes to study about electricity, and his teachers love him for his magnetic qualities. His classmates suggest that his middle name ought to be Volume, because he daily carries to each class a new book. V. P. LILLIAN VON KANEL. A bright, rosy-cheeked girl with large dimples in her cheeks and chin, deep blue eyes that are full of fun and a head always bowed down over her work is Lillian von Kanel. Each morning she can be seen busy at books. If you ask her what she is doing you will receive the astonishing reply, This is the boon of my existence! ELIZABETH WACHS. She tries, makes mistakes but does not give up, she goes at her work again and again, and is determined to win. HERBERT WARNSMANN. Warnsmann seems a misnomer. For so quiet and dreamy is our hero, that let alone warning another, he would not seem able to escape danger himself. LEONARD WEBB. Who shall fathom his thoughts!
