FLORENCE MCCORKINDALE. She's neat and bright, this miss, and young: Long walks she takes the Howers among, Rare pictures oft, she'll draw at school, But shunning house-work is her rule. , MARTHA HANSEN. There is a tall forward upon our team, Who fills her place with vigor and steam, She's captain, you know, She never plays slow, And we all speak of her with esteem. ELSIE JOKAY. This young maid with eyes so brown, That sparkle through the darkest night, Will some day be of great renown, When all her virtues come to light. MAX NEWBERGER. In stature short, but long in name, In spite of both he's bound for fame. Conscientious and willing to work, When keeping books, he'll never shirk. RUTH KERR. Not tall, just ninety-six in weight, A little critical in class, A pleasure-seeker, small and great, But then she is a comely lass.

RUTH SNYDER. Of a sweet disposition and courteous manner, Ruth is always recognized by her smile. She invariably has her les- sons and is never daunted by hard prob- lems. LILLIAN FREEDMAN. She loves to read and does it well, Her learning is profound, And that she smiles, you'd never guess, For gravity she's renowned. DAVID KAMNETSKY. Newspaper reporter he well could be, Or owner of a baseball team, At both of these, one could easily see Him display an extra amount of steam. CELIA ABRAMSKY. This girl is small of stature and has brown hair and sparkling brown eyes. In and out of class, she always has a ready answer for any question asked her. Basketball is her main recreation. ADA MCDOWELL. In basketball she can't be beat, This pretty maid of five foot six, Extremely rapid in typist's feat, This little member of all our cliques.

FLORA BRATBURD. Grave as a judge at times, she can be merry when merriment is properg always on the job in the class-room, she in- spires confidence. ALICE NEHLS. A tall and slender girl is she, With golden hair and bright blue eyesg And very often Wonder we, Why can't all be so sweet and nice? BERTHA CURPHY. This calm young maid, with eyes so blue, Spends leisure hours on Indian lore, Dances and skates, cooks meals, 'tis true, But keeping books would be a bore. MARY MULLEN. A scholar supreme is Miss Mary Mullen, She's as bright as a Senior can be. She claims as her home the land of old Erin, And a leader of women she is to be. HERBERT BROWN. Fate tried to conceal him, By naming him Brown, But his stature was stubborn, And wouldn't stay down. 37
