C l r A I 3 4, I, ,..-v--- V .J . 'C Q1 LA pvi'Q5.H.5 YA -W- School Write-ups HESE people were written up because they belong in the Thorn Section and we didn 't have room for them anywhere else. We were going to have some others on the same page but they decline to run with this bunch. Garey Burr is the perfect Napoleon because of the numerous Josephines, Jeanettes, Inezes, and et ceteras he has left flat. This t'Caesar and Cleopatra does not mean a thing 3 but John acts like Caesar and we thought Graciela Ethel would have made a better Elizabeth if she had had on a red wig but none of the red wigs would fit. Henry VIII was punished by being re- There's the wicked Nero. Ferdie makes a good Nero because he is always harping about himself. Charlene would make a perfect Pocahontas if she had Herbert Karg's head clasped in her arms Qwith his body attached, of coursej, but it could not beg because some little freshman girl had swiped all of Herbie 's pictures. Sh-sh, we are going to tell a deep dark secret, but not 'a soul must repeat it. We suspect Lasca took the pictures but we were too polite to say so. If this school ever has a contest to discover people who resemble or act like historical personages, we are going to nominate Roy B. to represent Sam Bass, G. W. Bradberry to be George Washington, Tony to be Anthony, Jess Paul to be Jessie J amesg J. W. Young to be the Younger brothers, Tommy to be 'Thomas Jefferson, VVilliam Nelle to be Little Nell , Covey Oliver to be Oliver Twist , Barbara B. to be Barbara Fretchie, Molly Spindle to be Molly While these people are being written up, the street-cleaners, trashmen, washwomen, and sheiks should be mentioned. In the sheik class there is Arthur Garcia, Jack Guerra, Clifton Burr, Jake Almand, Willis Leyendecker, Gene Cook, Robert Derby, Carol Loyer, and Mr. Madison. Some of these should be in the other classifications, but there is too little difference to bother. Along with the sheiks we should put the girls who don 't know that flappers have gone out of style. Helen Loyer, Ellen Young, Dorothy Brennan, Inez Claiborne, Jeannette Maher, Elena Guerra, Verena Guerra, Mary Schwartz, Ruth Edwards, Ruth Delling, Alpha Carter, Margaret Shutt, and Charlene Nye are all of the same sweet innocentf ?J type. If you don 't believe it ask them. I couldn't write any more on this page because I began to think of fried chicken, strawberry shorteake, heladas, and corn-on-the-cob, so I went home to lunch. But I didn 't get any fried chicken or cake, not even an helada.

Page 131 I LA PIQHAYA 1 Forward HE aim of this book is to show you to your- self as you really are. If you do not like what is said of you, just remember that it is not half bad enough. If you are disappointed at not finding any mention of your name, be careful next time that your actions are not so bad that they must be hidden even from the eyes of a generation as wickedf 'U as this one. Dedication We, the surviving members of the class of '28, do herein dedicate this Thorn Annual to the Pinchers , in memory of the great chance they gave the girls to use their lungs and have the brave boy protect them. if are e Q
