4 THE ECHO DOROTHY A. MILLS (Millsie) South Franklin Street I Hobby — Arguing with Harry Wiggins “I will speak to you in a mighty little voice.” .... Activities : Class Treasurer, 4 ; Echo, 3, 4. Can you tell us when Millsie and Harry are not arguing about something or other that appears to be of vital importance? Their favorite periods are the third period and recess. HELEN E. MORSE Hillview Avenue, Brookville Hobby — Sophomores “A soft answer turneth away wrath.” Activities : Echo, 4 ; Reporter, 4 ; Movie operator, 4 ; Class treasurer, 1 ; Class secretary, 2 ; Class vice-president, 3. Helen just loves History — ask her if she doesn’t! We’ll give her credit for one thing — she always has an answer for every question. And another thing — she can say more in less time than any other member of the class. She likes Algebra, too ; she has a lot of fun arguing about it with Jabe. ’ MARIETA REGAN (Rita) South Franklin Street Hobby — Teachers “Gentlemen prefer blondes.” Activities: Echo, 2, 4; Class vice-president, 2; Track, 1, 2; Basketball, 2, 3, 4 ; Head reporter, 4 ; Pro Merito Pin, 3 ; Senior Play ; Treasurer of Students’ Association, 4. Marieta is one of the most important reasons why our girls’ basketball team was a success. She played a great game at side center. You remember her in “Here Comes Patricia” as Mrs. Smith-Porter, the town aristocracy. She had a great time learning to use a lorgnette ! DOROTHY F. SHIPLEY (Dot.) Upland Street . Hobby — Sewing Activities : Reporter, 3, 4 ; Orchestra, 4. Dorothy, we hear, is leaving for England very soon after graduation. I’ll have to notify the Queen to keep a sharp watch on her bachelor princes. Dorothy is very busily collecting tinfoil the last two or three weeks. INEZ G. ROLLINGS Center Street Hobby — Discoursing Activities: Athletic Play, 3. Inez believes in making a short story long ; she takes plenty of time with her recitations. She’s quite fond of The Reader’s Digest ; she’s welcome to it. Inez is the only southpaw in our class.

THE ECHO 3 BRUCE M. GRINDLE Weymouth Street Hobby — Chewing gum “To see ourselves as others see us.” Activities : Class President, 2 ; Basketball, 4 ; Senior Play ; Reporter, 4. Bruce was the only Senior boy to make the basketball team. Congratulations ! Where does Bruce get all the gum for Senior English periods? Does Bruce like being proposed to? Ask Flossie, she knows. E. EVERETT HAYDEN (Arky) South Franklin Street, Brookville Hobby — Aviation “He could sing like Caruso, both tenor and bass ; he could play on his Spanish guitar.” Activities : Echo, 3, 4 ; Editor-in-chief of Echo, 4 ; Class vice-president, 4 ; Athletic Play, 3 ; Senior Play ; Pro Merito Pin, 3 ; Movie operator, 3, 4 ; Valedictorian. The sage of the Physics class twangs a mean guitar, and have you heard him sing that little song with the long name and the 33 verses ? Remember him in the “swaller-tail coat” in the Senior Play? He is the long distance eating champion of the S. M. L. S. P. Arky, by the way, is short for Archimedes. RITA M. HUTCHINS (Skeeter) Upland Street Hobby — Alumni “Here comes Patricia.” Activities : Senior Play ; Pro Merito Pin 3 ; Echo, 3, 4 ; Secretary, 1 ; Reporter, 4 ; Movie Operator, 4. Rita appeared as an ideal heroine in the Senior Play. We hear that Rita in- tends to take up Home Economics at Amherst next fall. We know that Rita will make the rest of the class sit up and take notice of her in college. She is usually quite quiet, but don’t excite her or she will “ring your dirty neck.” MARIAN D. JERVEY North Franklin Street Hobby — W riting “The pen is mightier than the sword.” Activities : Echo, 4 ; Handicraft Club President, 4. Marian is a quiet, modest little girl whom we all like. Her poetry is good — be sure to read it in this issue. She does good work in the Handicraft Club, too. ANNIE JOHNSTON (Arnie) North Franklin Street Hobby — Athletics “Buxom, blithe, and debonair.” Activities: Basketball 2, 3, 4, Captain 4; Echo, 4; Track, 2: Class Secretary, 3. 4 : Association Vice-president, 4. Annie during basketball season was much taken iq) with a Rainlolph youth. We are wondering if it will continue. Never mind, Annie, your typing ami athletics are good, so cheer up. What about the “Funny Pictures” in History class?

THE ECHO 5 GERTRUDE SMITH (Gert.) South Street Hobby — Typing for Mr. Neal “Quietness is a virtue.” Gert is always busy ; either talking to Inez Rollings, typing for Mr. Neil, or scratching her head for brilliant thoughts. This last appears only in History class, to our knowledge. It has been rumored that Gert loves walking. We hope she can someday beat Eleanora Sears’ famous record. NORMAN A. SMITH (Smitty) Centre Street Hobby — Tennis “Speak softly but carry a big stick.” Activities: Class President, 3, 4 ; Treasurer, 2 ; Echo, 1, 3, 4 ; Reporter, 3, 4; Basketball Manager, 4 ; Senior Play ; Pro Merito, 3 ; Association President, 4 : Salutatorian. “Al” Smith is the Senior “Book of Knowledge.” If anybody wants to know anything they ask Norman. Smitty’s pet ambition is to best Miss Bartlett in an argument. He certainly showed us some action as “Hero” in the Senior drama. FLORENCE M. TIBBETTS (Flossie) South Franklin Street Hobby — Raising Cain “Early to bed and early to rise Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” Activities : Echo, 3, 4 ; Business Manager of Echo, 4 ; Secretary of Students’ Association, 4 ; Senior Play. The old school could never be the same without Flossie, as anybody will tell you. She has done a fine job as business manager of the Echo. Remember how she proposed to Bruce in the Senior Play? Let us give you a tip — don’t ever make Flossie mad. It’s dangerous. DORIS L. WHITE (Dot.) North Franklin Street Hobby — Talking to Lucy Woodman “You must seize time by the forelock.” Doris is very short but we believe in that famous old adage that goes some- thing like this: “Good things come in small packages.” Never mind, Doris, as long as you think you are big, you are big. HARRY J. WIGGINS (Jabe) Plymouth Street Hobby — Being Different “What the well dressed man will wear.” Activities: Echo, 3, 4 ; Reporter, 3 ; Athletic Play, 3 ; Senior Play. Jame is the recognized authority on fashions, both for men and for worn mi. of our cla.ss. He made quite a reputation for himself as an actor as Profes.a)r Noah Jabb in “Alabama Bound,” and he sustained it as Adam Wade in “Here Comes Patricia.” We’re glad he doesn’t get mad off the stage like he does »)n it.
