THE COJWMENT EDITH DE JONG CED Edith's dignified and sweet. And in her studies hard to lxeatg But if you'll tell her: Take your choice, She'll say: I really prefer Boyce. Cboysb A normal training, student with grades which are the envy of the class. No one loves a good time bet- ter than E does, but she always knows when to be serious and just what to say on every occasion. JOSHUA ELDER 4100 Jack knife, high dive, underwater swim, All such things I do with vim. Some day you will see my name Blazoned in the halls of Fame. Vice President of the Boys' Athletic Association, President of the class last year, a leader in all things ath- letic and an all round good fellow. N0 one can help liking Jot. CARL ELGIN Say, I'n1 some drummer, don't-cha-know, I sure can make the music go, And when the other's time is run, l'll be another Edison. Member of the High School Orches- tra and assistant to Mr. McGrew. Carl delights in trying something new in the Lab, but chiefest of his joys is teaching the second period Physics class. CU ' MILDRED FOVVLER I like the boys, but they shant know, So don't you ever tell them so. I also like some screened off nook- I'm not so quiet as I look. One of our Commercial Course girls who likes to use the typewriter. She looks as meek as any young Quaker- ess, but always protests that she isn't. Shall we believe her?

THE COIVIIVIEJVT I3 KATIE BLINK ' The modesty of our whole class Reveals itself in this one lassg She's always happy, always gay, But shows it in a quiet way. A normal training student and excep- tionally brilliant iu he-r studies, Katie makes us think of the dainty wayside flowers who do not blaze forth in bright colors, but leave a lasting in- fluence of quietude and strength. JOHN BREHENY So many messes he can make, S0 many vessels he can break- And Oh, the gases that arise I NVhen 'speriments in the Lab he tries. One of the rarities of life-a quiet boy. He works industriously at his studies and has a passion for chem- istry and Miss Craig's picture ma- chine. MABEL BROVVN My hair's my glory, I am told, And crowns my head like perfect gold, And rather would I have it so Than any other way I know. One of the normal training students and a member of Mr. Hayden's Thursday evening music class, Lucy Harrington in the school play. Ma- bel is one of the most popular girls in the class and well liked because she never is known to be cross. LIDUS BUSS A second Hardy he will be, For he's an architect, you see, And when the world claims him at last, You'1l see-if he can be surpassed. A budding architect of great ability, and Captain of the Senior Baseball team. Lidus has a steadfast purpose in view and is pursuing it in a. way which spells success

THE COMMENT 15 JOHN' FANNING fFreckJ Now, somehow, I think it's all wrong. Our English lessons are too longg And when I protest the least bit, She only threatens doubling it! We have always thought John would make a good school teacher-and we know the students would enjoy it, be- cause thcy wouldn't be burdened with excess work. Nevertheless, John's a good scout and well liked by everyone. EDNA GUSTAFSON Your smiling face and sunny ways Have been a cheer to all our days, And in the years which come and go, lfVe'd like to find you always so. Another Normal Training pupil and patron of the Thursday Music Class. If you want something to cure a bad case of the blues just ask Edna to smile for you. HARRY FRUEHLING If any man or boy you see VVonld like to take some lessons free. I'll teach him how to keep his smile And serve the public all the while. VVe often wonder, seeing how many fussy people Harry meets every day, how he keeps such a fund of good humor and pleasantness. Such peo- ple make the world go round, though, and we wisliwe had his prescription. EDYTHE HAGGERTY If I could have one wish today, Do you know what I think Ifd say? Just: Please to give our family At least one boy. and maybe three. If practice makes perfect, Edythe would make a good kindergarten teacher, for she has helped with teaching and entertaining six younger sister. Patience is a rare virtue. XVouldn't we be glad to possess as much as Edythe has? V
