M. ADELAIDE McCARTY—ALPHA BETA. With a penchant for studies and politics, in classroom and class meeting, Adelaide plays a systematic game and rarely loses. ARTHUR MENDONSA—FORUM. “The mildest manner with the bravest mind.’’ “Art’ ’is quiet and unassuming but always an apt scholar and a loyal classmate. grace McLaughlin—alpha gamma theta. Gifted with a ready flow of words, “Mac’s” pen wields mighty articles and as a modern Portia she reigns supreme. GEORGE V. STALEY—FORUM. From Modesto, wherever that is. Always smiling tranquilly, tho clouds burst and storms break, George wends his way undisturbed. CLARA K. MEYER. Clara is a Meyer. Everyone knows what the Meyers have been in J. H. S. Not famous but always reliable—the kind that count. Page Sixteen

ZELMA JACOBS—ALPHA DELTA. Demure and silent. More praise would she scorn. She always does the best she can and more can no one do. THOMAS HALE—FORUM. Striving upward, always higher and still taller, Tommy has made an excellent center in football and this year captains the basketball men. Not only outdoor sports but artistic work on the ‘ Nautilus” and “‘Crimson J” Staffs finds him useful. LUCILLE JOHNS—ALPHA DELTA. ‘‘Oh yes I know” and with that she is off. She can act like a professional tho she is really an amateur. Some say she is a flirt, but it’s only her fascinating way. FRANK MARKILLIE—FORUM. During the last year Frank has been “struck” but under the circumstances he is getting along nicely and if his condition remains the same he will be with us on commencement night. DOROTHY D. LECK—ALPHA GAMMA THETA. Whatever anyone does or says 1 must be good. Gentle sunshine where’er she goes. She does not have to primp or pose. Page Fifteen

RUTH MILLER—ALPHA BETA. Ruth is devoted to her studies and will some day be a famous teacher of history. Society work and other activities also claim her as a loyal booster. HAROLD A. McGINNIS—FORUM. “JACKSONVILLE,—a city in Illinois memorable as the birth place and early home of the famous statesman, orator and politician, Harold Patrick McGinnis.” (Copied from the Encyclopedia Ger-manica. 1990) “All great men are dying. I dont feel well myself.” ELSIE MOXON—ALPHA BETA. Another of the backbone of the class. Not a star but the light is there even if modesty doth hide it as under a bushel. HAROLD C. SMITH—FORUM. “A boy’s will is the wind's will.” Polly spent a year on his vacation and then came back to high school and has kept on with our class,for which we all give thanks. Ohl You great Jehosophat. ALMA WIEGAND—ALPHA BETA. Alma made her advent into high school via the eighth grade. As a brilliant student in German, she has made a record for the class. Page Seventeen
