XV111. THE CHRONICLE. Frances Hoff ‘‘Frances” Maidens should be mild and meek, Swift to hear and slow to speak. Frances is our class grind and she doesn’t like the boys, but we don’t believe it; just ask Floyd Steiner. Chronicle Staff (4) : College Club (4) ; French Club (3-4) : Class Night Committee (4). Stephen Hopkins “Steve” A very smoky fellow is Steve, With hair of a reddish sheen, I can’t think of anything else to write, ' But that second line rhymes with Irene. A deep voice accompanied by smoke, always proclaims Steve’s presence. But we always like to have him around and we wonder what, the school will do without him. We always looked forward to reading your stories in the Chronicle, Steve. Fo.itball Term (3-4; Chronicle (3-4). Eileen Houlihan “Eileen” You have a lot of Irish A shining thru’ your eye. And when you get your temper up. The rest of us do fly. Eileen is sure destined to be an actress. She is perfectly at home on the stage. She is also quite a speedy typist, having won the sixty-word Underwood card case, a thing much desired by all. Booster Club (4) ; Rooster Club Play (4) ■ Rnsketh-ill (3-4i • Minstrels (4) ; Glee Club (4). Emma Kelsey “Emma” Emma always pretends That she never has any friends, But it would surely surprise us all To see that husky young man call. We all love to hear what Emma has to tell us the morning after the night before, but it’s nice to be popular, isn’t it, Emma? Her aspirations are high—even to “earldoms.” And Emma, don't you love roses in winter ? College Club (4) ; French Club (3-4) ; French Piny (4).

THE CHRONICLE. XVII. Ruth Hassett “Cupid” If grit could git you anywhere, You would lead the topmost line. Strive ever on and on, brave heart. And claim success as thine. Ruth, you must have been born under a lucky star, for you captured a class honor, the most forgetful. But never mind, you can forget that, too, because you won’t have to remember when to get up after graduation. Booster Club (4). Esther Hayden “listhcr” Your voice asks e'en of the wind, Who said each passing word. And when one asks Who told you that?” Your answer is “A little bird.” Esther, who is some talker, is full of fun and frolic. Her one weakness is sleep and many mornings she appears on the scene without any breakfast, poor thing. Bolster Club (4) ; Booster Play (4). Frederick Hill l rcd To have the title “Professor,” In front of his name would fit Hill, And although I’m not a good guesser, I'll bet that some day he will. Fred is always on time, or rather time is always on his wrist. He showed his ability for dramatics in the Junior Play. Junior play (3) ; Speaking Contest (3) ; Booster Club (4). Roger Hocking Rog” A dull burg that you live in, Mr. Hocking, Where the tide never rises or falls But there’s one thing I can say for you. Roger, That your town surely has fine “stone walls' We always hail Roger and his violin with delight, and we don't know what the school and the orchestra will do without him. Keep on fiddling Rog, and some day you'll be a second Fritz Kreisler. As the first president of the newly organized Booster Club Roger has done wonders, too. and we hope future presidents will follow in his footsteps. President Booster Club (4) ; Orchestra (2-3-4) ; Chronicle (4).

THE CHRONICLE. XIX. Evelyn Law “Dizzy’'’ Your strength is in your arms, Your goodness in your heart. But where are all your other charms. They seem to dwell apart? Evelyn Law—alias “Daisy.” Evelyn is about the best sport in our class. She is out for all athletics and we wonder that she is not a cheer leader, considering the voice she has. Booster Club (4) ; Basketball (2-4) ; Orchestra (3-4) : Class T)ay Committee (4); Mandolin Club (2). Muriel Lee “Mudy” Our Muriel Lee of medium size, Is surely restful to the eyes. She’s clever and smart, a beauty as well, At all our meetings she is the belle. Mudy’s fond of Guilford so we hear, but do we blame her when we see some of the samples? The Chronicle never would have grown under a less capable hand than hers and to her it owes a vote of thanks. President College Club (4) : French Club (4) ; Chronicle (1-2-3-4) ; Class Day Committee (4) ; Salutntorian (4). Everett Lobb “Ewy” Oh, Ev, you’re a wonderful screecher, And Caruso had better resign, So just keep on plugging with teacher, And you'll sing for a “Vic” in ’29. Ewy loves to use bis vocal chords both for singing and talking. He doesn’t at all mind telling us of our bad points. He’s right there when it comes to oral compositions in English. Minstrels (4) ; Chronicle (4) ; Cantata (4). Miriam Lum “Mini’ Valedictorian Miriam Lum Stands in her class at number one, For diligent work lias won her place, After four long, hard years of the race. Mini always finds time for fun, even though, from her recitations we think she must study all the time. We hear she is very fond of music—especially “hymns” and “carols.” College Club (4) ; French Club (3-4) : Junior Play (3) ; Minstrels (4) : Chronicle Staff (3-4) : French Play (4) ; Class Day Committee 14) ; Valedictorian (4).
