Uhr Svrninr Gllaaa Sarah Adleman The German class is certainly Sarah's kingdom, and in there she is lord of all she surveys for she reads German like a native and gives translations that are equaled only by afirst class trot, Sarah is such a model of behavior that she was presented with a back seat in the boys' aisle soon after her entrance last September and from this point of vantage can see all that goes on in the room and Cwhisper it softlyj can BE SEEN from the platform. Every one in the class remembers the witty oration about dunces which was declaimed in so admir- able a style. By the manner in which she declaimed it, Sarah seemed to portray herself as a dunce, but let it be said right here that she is far from being such an unfortunate and if she studied alittle harder could be as bright as anyone in the class. Helen Louise Ames Helen is a special student taking only music and lunch with the Seniors. She does everything luring school hours, but study, and spends the greater part of her time in f'soliloquizing. Her orations are always looked forward to, for as well as being a good writer, she possesses a remarkable talent for declamation which makes her performance far above the average. Effie Thatcher Arbuckle Miss Arbuckle is one of the wittiest girls in our room and is always in a jolly mood. Her popularity in the class is shown by the fact that she has been elected editor of this paper. Florence Arbuckle Prissie is one of our petite members and has distinguished herself by her constant whispering. She won a great victory, in her own mind, over one of her companions by having Mr. Dennis agree that she is just a little taller. William Bearman 'fBill is one of the real wonders of the class. His orations are always hailed with delight and not only did he cover himself with glory on Lincoln's birthday by his recitation of the Address at Gettys- burg, but much to the satisfaction of every one, the judges awarded him the Anthony medal. Vifilliam is very active in the Debating Society and is the honored editor-in-chief of this publication. Mela Elsie Bennett Miss Bennett entered the class during the third year and soon became one of its most active members on account of her animated questions, for to all appearances the Word f'why? with an interroga- tion point after it, seems to be her trade mark. She is very studious as is shown by her recitations and stands well in all of her classes. Louise Adams Bourne Louise is one of the girls of whom the class should be proud. She puts her school work before every- thing, studies hard, and achieves what she most desires - the approval of her teachers and good marks. Her witty orations were greatly appreciated during the year and her solutions of various geom- etry originals bring applause from the platform. Although Louise has held no office, she is greatly liked by teachers and scholars. Joseph Aloysious Boyle Joe is an ardent lover, of whom, it is needless to say. He and his lady love do not use wireless tele- graphy. Oh no! no need for that, nor do they wait for the close of school as some others do. Joe still keeps up his duties as special oflicer of the Anti- cigarette League. Edith Alida Bullard Edith is one of our very musical classmates and delights in singing snatches of pretty songs to us girls. She distinguished herself by playing at one of Mlle. Saniewska's Junior parties last year, and is a well liked member of the class. Robert Taylor Burbank Bob has served upon many of the committees in the Senior class. He was a member of both the pic- ture and dance committees, and is business manager of the Blue and VVhite. He is a good English scholar and as for his Latin translations-they are simply startling in their fluency. Bob Writes a good oration and is one of the best declaimers in the class. Although he has never distinguished himself in athletics, he is quite prominent in social functions.
