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!

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?

LEO WEIL. This young man is fair and square, and by his happy smile, we know he is try- ing to get the best out of life. But, alas! We see as he jerks his tie or brushes some imaginary spot from his neat blue suit that he is already inter- ested in the fairer sex. EDDIE WEILER. Good-looking, fond of sports, stays out all night and does his sleeping in school. ESTHER WEINBERGER. Fond of sportg coquettish. E. S. CORNELIA WEISS. Cornelia Weiss is always neat in ap- pearance, and modest in manner. Her movements are quick and nervous. In the recitation room she is always ready with an opinion. It is because she is so alert and quick to respond that one makes her acquaintance easily, and finds her a sympathetic friend. ELLA WEISS. Dignified, not stiffg jolly, not sillyg sometimes serious, never disagreeable, Ella possesses a personality that wins friends. J. VV. 1 x JOHN WEIZER. John Weizer is a young man of great athletic ability, being a basketball artist, as well as a baseball player. He has a great future and I think he will take care of it Well. K. K- HILDA WIRTSCHAFTER. She is a pretty, blonde and rosy- cheeked girl, and is considered witty by all of her chums. She has a low but melodious voice, is small, but seen and remembered by all. PERRY WALTON WISEMAN. A merry, studious and sweet child, with blond tresses. F. L. GERTRUDE WOLBOLDT. Reserved, confident and benign, she is always ready to enjoy some excitement. Out-door sports are her favorite amuse- mentsg cooking and sewing are too tire- some for one as full as life as she. HARRIET WUERTZ. She hath a heart as sound as a bell, and her tongue is the clapperg for what her heart thinks, her tongue speaks. M. E. imrn l Wig, K' 3 l i Ill:
