Verna Marie Karnes. Chorus, Senior Social Com. H H. S. A. A., H. S. Play We will always remember Verna as Claire in the class play and will also remember her song - hit whic h she so cleverly composed especially for the oc- casion. Verna has an inexhaustible sup- ply of original expressions and clever sayings. No matter, how often she is taken unawares she always has a witty answer in return. Verna has made a tine record in her work at high school and it is hoped that she will make an equally good one when she takes up a normal music course. Lucy Romaine Kessler. Lucy has distinguished herself by never getting- into trouble. She comes to us svery morning from the country. She seldom fails to recite when called upon and if she docs seems 10 be- m ch em- barrassed over it. There is air of dignity about her that is not possessed by many of the students. She is going to take a special business course and from all indications she will make an ideal business woman. Mary Magdalene Kindler. Wh en it comes to having E ' s on her report card Mary is right there. She is one of those girls who, no matter how much work she carries she brings it all to the highest point of perfection. She is finishing her high school course In three and one-half years and doing it with apparently the greatest ease. If she should fail to recite it would cause a great consternation among her class- mates. Mary expects to continue her schooling by taking a special English course and we feel sure that she will make as brilliant a record there as she made with us. Calvin Martin William Koch. Editor - in - Chief Acropolis Pres. Debating Club, Sec. Treas. Radio Club. Senior Social Com. Modulus Staff. Behold Rip the man with the mighty brain, the pad and ready pencil. He is now reporting on the Huntington Press , and we hear he is doing mighty good work. In H. S. he was always an all-round good scout, ready to lend a helping hand. Could tell more jokes than anyone we know and was very proud of his long hair. He was always flinging this out of his eyes by an impatient toss of his head. Mnry Irene Johnson. Mary has such a gentle little voice that she has a hard time in making the teacher understand her but she has been persistent in her efforts. She is always ready with a smile for everyone, and never was known to get angry. We all know that as her good humor has as- sisted her in her high school days, so it will in her college days as she pre- pares to become a teacher.

Donald Pens. Orchestra II. II. S. Play. We all believe Pig can bluff more- than anyone in school. He has got it down to a science. He would rathei he running his little Lizzie thaii studying. We will never forget the roy- al way in which we were entertained in his home on his birthday anniversary as long as we live. Neither will we forget how well he acted the part of the lazy man in On the Campus. He has picked electrical engineering for his fu- ture occupation and may he enjoy the greatest success. Ida Wolf Plasterer. Art. The incessant stream of people passed slowly thru the long picture gallery. To- day it was to be decided whose picture was to take the medal. Surely this one will ' everyone said as they paused and gazed at it in admiration. Yes said I to my companion that is Ida Plasterer ' s. You remember her don t you? She was one of the class of ' 16. That is what we predict will happen, for Ida tells us that she is going to con- tinue her splendid art work. Dora Ethel Pridcly. Chorus. Dot when she entered II. S. wis a fascinating little girl but now she is the most charming of our graduating class and has won the admiration of alt. She intends to take up music and an and we are sure she will succeed for it is rumored that she is quite efficient along these lines. From Dot ' s smiling face we judge that she is a charter member of the sunshine club. No won- der she is always welcome wherever she goes. Gerald Raver Perk ' has made himself famous by always getting along nicely with the faculty. He is looked on by the school as a good all around fellow and can usualy be found at the Y or at the barber shop where he worked while in school. As he went out with the Jan - nary class he has already begun work and if he keeps it up bids fair to be- come a journalist. Edgar Day Reed. H. H. S. A. A, H. S Play Ed as he is commonly called among his intimate friends is surely one of those fellows that help to mane a good reteord for a class. Although the is quiet sometimes, he is always in for a good joke and now and then springs one himself Ed ' s wavy hair has been the envy of numerous H. H S. fallows and many have even sat up late at night endeavoring to obtain such hair, but in vain. He has an awful habit of incessantly chewing gum. He is go- ing to take a special college course but we all wish he could do some more work on the stage for his part as Peters ' in On the Campus was really a good stunt.

Marie Luetta Shinkle. Orchestra, Vice-Pres. Sunshine Society. H. H. S. play. That little girl with such an independ- ent air about her? Why that ' s Marie Shinkel. And when you know her you will certainly like her ' cause she is not as saucy as she looks. She made a mighty pretty chorus girl in the play- She is undecided as to what she will do in the future and I ' m sure I can ' t guess, can you ' . ' Minta Elizabeth Skinner. Chorus ' 13, ' 14. Minta is a girl who is alwavs think- ing bow she can do something tor some one. In doing this she forgets her own personal needs but does that only which will comfort the one in need. If you can find anything more admirable in a young girl then this self-forgetfulness while doing good for others I don ' t know what that trait would be. Out- class has always had cause to be proud of Minta ' s English recitations. They certainly show her love and taste for that work and she leaves us onlv to continue this in college. Masdelena Martha Smith. Chorus. Special Voiov Art, II. H. S A. A. Magdelena is one of the demure little maids of the class alwavs ready for a good time, and always smiling. Occa- sionally the smile gets the better of her and then it fast develops into a bad ease of giggles. She has a fine musi- cal ability, being one of the few that are able to play an Italian harp. As a teacher of music she will meet with the greatest success, we feel confident. Donovan Herbert Spencer. Debating Club. H. H. S Track Team ' 15. Here ' s Speenie . our history sharK. If anybody wants any information con- cerning the kings, wars, or government of ancient times they have only to ask Donovan. He would make a fine pro- fessor of history but if he wishes to succeed thoroughly in this calling be will have to rjuit the awful habit of biting his nails. No one tried harder to help win last year ' s track meet for the H. H S. than did Donovan H. Burton Stephan. Acropolis Staff. H. S. B. B Team. Chorus ' 15. ' 16 Brainy is one of the best tvpes of all round H. S. students. He is an athlete, a scholar, a true gentleman, popular among the girls, and full of high school spirit. Te all realize how suc- cessful our basket ball team has been under his leadership as captain, and ap- preciate the fact that he has sacrificed many a good time to be in physical con- dition to win a game for us. We hear that he intends to become a teacher, and we think that he is very wise in his choice.
