Burton Stevenson:—(Boys’ Club ’16, ’17, ’18.) “There's honesty, manhood and good fellowship In him.'' Burton is the sort that improves on closer acquaintance. He says little and does much. His purpose in going to High School is shown by the thoroughness with which he does the work assigned him. Jennie Glendinning:—(Sophomore Farce ’16; Tennis ’16, ’17, ’ 18; Aesthetic Dancing ’17, ’18; Basketball ’16, ’17, ’18; Y. YV. C. A. 17, Vice Presi- dent ’18; O’ita ’17, ’ 18; Manager Glee Club ’17, ’18; Student Council ’17; Budg- et Reporter ’18; Chairman Class Day Committee ’18; Debating Club 18; Com- mencement Program ’18; Honor Student.) “A smile o’ her wad hanish care. Hoot, mon! but Jinnie’s a braw lassie wha’ll “carry on” where e’er she be. She wi’ gae oop the Hill nexit year and muckle greet will be L. H. S. Nane sic anither is there tae do the Soward Dance and the Hieland Fling. Norma Stewart:—(O’ita ’16; Y. YV. C. A. ’17, ’18; Normal Training Class.) “Everybody's friend, nobody's enemy. Norma isn’t going to waste her four years of hard high school work, so she’s' going to teach school. Imagine the Normal class of ’18 without Norma. Emma Houghton:—(Home Economics Club ’17; Y. YV. C. A. ’18; Girls’ Glee Club ’18.) Her ways are ways of pleasantness, Her paths are paths of peace.” Although Emma is another of our quiet girls she is also one of our main standbys. She received honorable mention for good school work and we expect her to be one of the “bright” students at K. U. next year. Rhoda McLean:—(Basketball ’15, ’16, ’17, ’18; Girls’ Glee Club ’18.) The grace and blush of modesty. Rhoda could always be depended upon to keep the enemy away from the goal. She has played guard on the basketball team for four victorius years. Ruth Boughton:—(Y. YV. C. A. ’17; Girls’ Glee Club ’18.) •‘She hath a natural, wis ' sincerity, A simple truthfulness; these have but her dignity. Ruth ranks among the quiet and faithful girls. Yet her fame lies not in these things but in her singing. Perhaps we have another Madame Gadsky in our midst. She expects to go on the Hill next year. Ada Andrews:— Every maiden knows That she who chides her lover. Forgives him e're he goes. Ada was born near Lawrence and acquired her early training in a country school house, later removing to town and finishing Central and L. H. S. She intends to go to Emporia Normal next fall. Riley Rogers:—(Budget Reporter ’18.) I would make reason my guide. Riley, can be found at all times inquiring into the reason why things are ar they are. This analytical mind will serve well in the course of medicine he intends to take up at K. U.

Lawrence Clark:— “Speech is shallow as time. Silence deep as eternity.” Lawrence is the mathematician of the Class of '18. He will probably be one of the engineers of the future. Lela Brown:—(Basketball 16; V. W. C. A. ’18.) “Quiet talks she liketh best in a bower of gentle looks.” All year Lela has been industriously “pulling down” E’s in French, worry- ing over Physics and History quizzes and sewing for French and Belgian orphans. Next year she will go to K. U. and have some more quizzes to worry over. Merna Uttinger:—Home Economics Club 16; (Vita 16, ’17: Y. W. C. A. ’15, ’16, ’17. ’18; Debating Club ’18.) She was a scholar and a ripe and good one. Merna has, without doubt, earned her scholarship L. Although she has taken the Normal course she does not intend to teach. She will take training in nursing at Bethany Hospital, Kansas City, and possibly we may next hear of her in France. Jessamine Fugate:—(Basketball ’16; Secretary Home Economics Club i6; Y. W. C. A. ’15, '16, ’17, ’18; Secretary-Treasurer (Vita 18; Senior Girls’ Circus ’18; L. H. S. Knitting Club 18; Honor Student.) Intelligence is to genius as the whole is in proportion to its part. “Jessminy” may not speak as loud and long as others, but it is certainly not because the wherewithal is lacking. When it is a question of doing something for somebody, she is right there with the helping hand. Louise Elliot:—(Junior-Senior Party Farce ’17; Girls’ Glee Club ’17: Aesthetic Dancing ’18; Farce, Blow Out ’18; Chairman Decoration Committee Blow Out ’18.) Charms strike the sight, ami merit wins the soul. Louise has been a staunch L. H. S.’er for all her High School course, but this year her attention has been divided with K. U., tho wha's his name we dinna choose tae tell. Edith Broat:—(Y. W. C. A. ’18; Glee Club ’18: Basketball.) There is mischief in «her laughter, There is danger in her eye. Edith is another merry classmate. Her friends describe her as “cute,” fthe popular meaning of the word, not the literal). She has a “terrible” case hut as to her ambitions we know nothing. Leone Hilkey:—(Y. W. C. A. ’15, ’16, ’17, ’18; Girls’ Glee Club ’18; O’ita ’17, ’18: O’ita President ’18.) “A smooth and steadfast mind. Gentle thoughts and calm desires. Leone is a hard worker and a good all-round girl. She helps us out in our Glee Club and strange to say dotes upon Chemistry. She will go on the Hill next year with the rest of us. Sumner Rogers:— My tongue within my mouth I rein. For who talks much must talk in vain. Sumner is best known by his modest retiring ways. Next year will prob- ably find him in the service of Uncle Sam.
