JANIE WALKER. THOMAS RUST UNDERWOOD. LEONORA WALL. E. L. S.g Schoolmistress 643. May she never grow taller. We have already said a word about this young lady when speaking about her friend Viva. The comparison of their friendship to that of Damon and Pythias was not uncalled for. Janie also attends the picture show every chance she gets and knows the actors and actresses well. She claims some dramatic talent herself and has figured in a number of plays. Just now she promises to make a hit .in the play that will be given at the end of school. In school Janie has al- ways taken a prominent part in her class affairs. Such efficient service is always welcomed. H. C. D. S. ill, 425, 439, President 135g C. L. S. President 1455 H. H. S. A.

I concede you that point for the sake of argumentf' It would be impossible to forget the tall burnt-coke end man in the Senisr Minstrel show. Even outside of the minstrel Rusty is always full of fun. He takes an interest in jouirn- alism. After finishing High School he expects to take up this line of work. During the four years he has done a valuable service to the school by act- ing as press agentu for all the sch1ol's activities. 'z Chorus class. Measure your mind by the shadow it casts. In every class that graduates from any school there are always some pu- pils who stand unusually well in their classes and who always do excellent work. In this class Leonora is one of that kind. She dies well in all her studies but German is her favorite. She was greatly disappointed when she was not able to take it the last five months of this year. Never-the- less Trignometry which was substi- tuted for the Deutsch, i-s quite differ- ent and no one could blame a girl for total abstainance frvm its wiles. We were about to forget to say that Leo- nora can manipulate a piano to per- feetion. It would be a joy to Pader- ewski himself to hear her play.

The above expresses Luc-y's feelings exactly. She is always full of life and' fun. She gained much fame in the Carnival last fall when she posed as Strong Arm Nellie. Lucy gets a.long well with all her teachers, but she probably learned more last year in Physics than at any other time l?I. Lucy has no idea how she will pass away the time when she graduates. Our best wishes are with her and we hope she will not try to juggle tor many boys' hearts at one time. She sometimes sits still and readS the proverb, A rolling stone gathers no Moss. W ICSLICY l'.

B-rudder has proven to be one of the most useful students the High School has ever had, by his skillfull management of our Carnival and the baseball and basketball teams. He also attended to most of the prepara- tions for the W. K. H. S. O. L. which came to Hopkinsville this year. ln fact when any hard work comes up it usually falls on his shoulders. He is some speed king on his motorcycle. Any time now we may see him whiz- zing about town, still he always man, ages to slow up at the corner of Main and Qlst streets. Wonder why? .DORET'l'A GRAY. Chorus class. Know this lady intellectual? Dorretta specializes in the Commer- cial Department. lt takes a paient and persevering person to work out difficult trial balances and to n1ake a troublesome typewriter write correct- ly, but Doirretta masters everything that she attempts. It is because she is so patient ad persevering that all her work shows such an exact finish instead Of beiflg gotten up in that just any old way fashion. Socially she is one of the most con- genial girls in the school. To know her well is to be her friend and a truer friend would be hard to find,

Flossie forsook his Gracey peo- ple a couple of years ago and entered H. H. S. At that time his main trou. ble was with the girls. Even the sight of a girl pained him and he studied seven nights in the week for fear of seeing one. But that was two long years ago. You should see him now. He is the worst ladies man in the school, actually he fell down one day while walking down the street talking to a certain one. Guess who! Omitting girls, 'Flossie likes baseball the best and is a regular 'tTy Cobb on the bases. We will see more of him later along this spring. Clif-rus class. Love's gentle spring does ever fresh remain. When a certain young man grad- uated from this High School two years ago and later went to College, this fair maiden was not over pleased. 1That is putting her sentiments in a rather mild fc-rm, too5. But the ter- rible agony did not last long and now both are happy. But why dwell on such frivolous thoughts. Lucile is one of the bright- est girls in the class. She can al- ways be depended upon to have her lessons well prepared. Still she be- lieves in that good old saying, Let George do it. H. C. D. S. 115,125, 1355 C. L, S, 1433 H. H. S. A.

He has a reputation for his baseball playing but he shines his brightest at basket- ball- Here he only Hives the ball a toss and it invariably goes into the basket. No one knows where he learned h0W- Some say it is luck but he vows it is science and after Seeing him perform, one could Well believe him. He is a hard worker and will leave a hard place to fill in the High School.
