every corner. That ' s Henry Baerg. His most severe accident was a fall, which accrunts for his beloved week-end visits to Glendale. Eleanor Wentworth has fond recollections of the t!me that she displayed h:r keen sense of discernment of what was good when she climbed a table at the age of one year, and ate all of the sugar out cf the bowl. Perhaps it is this that gave her such a sweet voice; who can tell? Winston Nethery was born in England, but he has been through nearly every state except Florida. He was Junior president last year, and is editor-in-chief of our annual this year. All the girls will admit that Nethery has a little hebby hard to sur- pass — throwing slams at them. Frances Brown, a native of College View, Nebraska, has been in California since 1923. Since then her chief occupation has been that of eating oranges. She will accept a challenge for an orange eating match any time. She was graduated from the Academ c course at La Sierra in ' 26 and was the assistant piano teacher during the past term. We would hardly believe Wayne Platner has always gone to public schools except for four years at La Sierra, judging from Irs aim — that of being a missionary to Africa. Ask Wayne what he likes best. You are sure to receive the answer, Green lemonade and green ice cream. Irma Abbott ' s favorite sport was that of riding donkeys, from which she fell at intervals, but never once killed herself. While at Paradise Valley she possessed a parrot wh ; ch called her by nam; across the campus of the Sanitarium. Ruth Lorenz is probably the only member who can pride herself with having been in a train wreck and of coming out alive. According to her own words, she has distinguished herself in school by the large number of detention periods she has at- tended. We know Jack Cooper leves La Sierra. He must be very lonesome, though, be- cause he says he has not rece : ved one whipping, and at home they were his only exercises. Audrey Lea made it quite a task for her mother to keep her out of mud puddles and raisin boxes in her infancy, which, one is led to believe, can not be very far in the past. Later on she learned how to do many things, such as how to drive horses and swim in irrigation ditches. Evelyn Carter ' s life seems to have been full of adventures, the outstanding of which is getting lost in the mountains and finding her way back after several hours and with several bad bruises. Bernice Hodge was born in El Cajon, California, and has never been outside of Southern California. She takes great pride in the fact that she was her mother ' s best child (probably because she was the only one). Fred Ludecke was born in Mexico and went to Germany when he was two years old. When he was a boy a great misfortune came to him. He nearly got run down with a bicycle. Perhaps that is why he doesn ' t know whether he is Mexican or German. Marjean Fleet was born in Kansas City, which is pronounced by her a land of corn and wine (or rather wind). She is of good health, nothing bothering her except her heart, which does not function right all the time, to which most of us agree. (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIFTY-FOUR)
