(6lrtm HI. This rotuml little fellow has very high aspirations in the person of .Miss Ruth Johnson. Keep growing “Squatts, and you’ll catch up with her yet. There is nothing slow about Glenn, he is the best “short distance runner we have; was in track work the entire four years, and played football in his Soph- omore and Junior years. lie is one of the kind who are always “on the job”, when there is anything to be done, and is as jolly a boy as you’re apt to meet. His assistance in the chorus work has been of great value. He has proved Ills executive ability as Editor of the Athletic Department. President of the class during the Freshman year, and President of the Lyceum in his Junior year. Ablue Houter Doleou A regular little housekeeper. is the verdict of her many friends. Jolly and full of fun. always willing to tor- ment the teachers, but on the other hand a little home body as well. She i so willing to push everything and al- ways so cheerful that she has endeared herself to everyone. In basketball she lias been our star player, acting as Captain the third year and Manager tiie fourth. She was Secretary during our Freshman year and Vice President in the Senior year. Her work as Asso- ciate Athletic Editor of the “Senior Scraps” is deserving of praise. What- ever she lias undertaken she has al- ways been counted among the “Vic- tor's.” Sfrlnt 1C. Jfcnmttut And here comes one of the most charming members of our class. She is very popular with everyone, and how could she help hut Ik with that pleas- ant smile and sympathetic nature of hers? She loves a good time, yea even more than studies—do you blame her? Once aus den Augen, aus dem Sinn with her. She is a very capable young lady—this last year doing the cadet work in the Kindergarten. Ilei' most familiar remark is. No, I can’t go tonight. I’ve simply got to study. She was general manager of the an- nual I. II. S. banquet this winter, win- ning great honor and glory thereby.

(Contrita A. (Cattftrli» Yes, she piggies! She always lias, though, from the time she was a Freshman. We all giggled then, but Cornelia was original and didn’t stop it when the rest of us did. However, she has managed to do other things too, one of them being to wade through four years of Latin. The Lyceum has prospered well this last year because of her active interest: and besides, Cornelia plays tennis and plays it with a vim that makes the rest of us stand around and take notice”. As an Asso- ciate Literary Editor of the “Scraps” she has done wonders and I. H. S. is going to lose someone when it loses our Corn”. Airmail D. (Cliiisr Actions speak louder than words with Aledalu She is very reserved and seldom says anything unless she has something to say—would there were more like her! She is very stu- dious and pulls high marks as a re- sult. She is a talented pianist and has helped us out several times on our Lyceum programs. She has only been with us a year and we regret that we could not have had her through our whole four years of High School ex- perience. SItrtor Q. (Carlisle And now. you must pay good atten- tion and listen to the athletic record of one of our Senior boys. Baseball, football and track team all four years; basketball the last three; Captain of basketball the third year and of foot- ball the second: Manager of both foot- ball and basketball the fourth; besides being Secretary of the Athletic Asso- ciation the last year. and. oh! don’t you think that is almost enough? But the puzzle to the rest of us Seniors is— how did he ever manage to graduate at all when he was already managing so many other things? But neverthe- less. he has come out the Victor.”

Ctljrl IK. ifflrmtng Such a dignified looking: young Miss, hut jolly when you come to know her. She might be called studious, but she enjoys a good time as well as anyone. Her greatest accomplishment is along musical lines and she has entertained us often in Lyceum. Ethel has no love for mathematics and in her sec- ond year she ran across that dreadful study, geometry. She has a fond- ness for the name “Bill” both at home and abroad, and frequent visits to Kalamazoo are the result. ‘Xaomt l£. C5rrrtuuooJi At the beginning of our Junior year it was discovered that Grand River was not the only tiling which turned toward Ionia at Muir. It was under- stood that Naomi was to take the reg- ular High School course and graduate in 1913. This in itself would prove quite a task to most of us, but definite proof has come to our notice that she has prepared a lecture during her spare time on. “Why a Gentleman's Company is Preferable to a Lady’s. Three Hundred and Sixty-five Days in the Year. Evenings Included.” How- ever. Naomi has proved a very valuable and gay addition to our class and it is with her aid that the Society sec- tion of “Senior Scraps” has been made so very interesting. Unrulft Jfimtr If any member of this large and in- teresting class has reason to have gray hairs, it is Harold. He was president of the class during our Junior year, and a merry chase we led him, too. But there is doubtless no need of tell- ing anything about that exciting year, except that there is no tellm wnal would have become of us if we had not had such an able president. Besides this office, he was Secretary of the Lyceum during his second year, and President of it the last: in the de- clamatory contest the second, winning second place in the sub-district contest. He was in the basketball team the second and third, and manager of it the third. Harold is also a prominent member of the House of Representa- tives.
