 MANJUAN To see the work of the advertising manager, Miss Plumley, it is only necessary to turn to the back of this book and read some of the advertisements listed there. There you will see all the names of the business men in this and the neighboring town of New Bedford who fell for her beautiful charms and convincing argument, that you had might as well try to run a taxi cab in Venice as to run a business without any advertising. She is a good sport and always ready to laugh at anything. Catherine Lowe, as Junior Class editor and head of the calendar department, has shown unusual ability. Just read our calendar. Everything that has happened this year in the Manlius Township High School is mentioned there. She was assisted in this department by Chas. Wallis, Antoinette Smith and Leroy Isaacson. Catherine is a good student but at the same time enjoys herself. She is well liked and many a one—yes, one in particular, has been charmed by her beautiful voice. The representative of the Sophomore class is Charles Wallis. This class is the largest class in the school. Charles being one of the wittiest students of the class, has written a fine term calendar. You will never find Charles any too excellent in his studies, but still his time is not wasted, for he reads every paper and magazine that he can lay his eyes upon and is exceptionally well versed in English and Science. He is showing his ability as an athlete on the baseball field this year, and we believe the future for him will prove successful. Leroy, our freshman reporter, has done fine. He is one of the best students in the class, very wise and witty, always willing to take part in all school work, fun or frolic. ” Ike” is interested in all athletics, and we are sure will, in the following school term, be one of our notorious athletes. He did much good work on the football, basketball and baseball fields this year. Being freshmen reporter he has written many funny things which has happened among our bright freshmen, for we all know freshmen will be fresh-men. Ike is discussed with many complimentary phrases by some of the Sophomore girls. They seem to be enraptured with that cunning little dimple which appears when he smiles. Glen Hewitt came in in a hurry and went out in the same way. He was only with us for a few months, but in that time made many friends. He was sub on the basketball team and loomed large as a pitcher for our baseball team, lit quit school in March to work on the farm. We hated to lose Glen and hope that he may find it convenient to finish his school work next year. PAGE TWENTY-FIVE

, M W.ll'AN OUR STAFF Our Editor in Chief, Miss Johnson, through lier untiring efforts, has proven herself very able. It is mainly through her efforts that this book has been planned. We truly hope that for her sake the annual will be a success and are pretty confident that it will. She has bravely shouldered all responsibility for the book and has never refused to write up anything that no one else would do. To be sure, the book could not have been a success without her able corps of assistants, but we feel that the work of Arietta Johnson and Paul Whipple deserves special mention. None better for the respective positions of editor and business manager could have been found in the whole High School. The work of writing up the events happening in the Senior Class was given to Antoinette. She has been very faithful in this besides doing whatever else she could to help. This year she goes out of the Manlius Township High School as valedictorian of her class. Ethyel, the blue eyed social editor, has proven very satisfactory in this line of work. She has accomplished the duties that were put before her wonderfully well. Her accounts of the parties are briefly written, but give a good summary of the merry times we had. Ethyel is very sociable, that is why she was given this position. She is a very hard worker, and is one of our song birds. The work of writing up the sport section of this book fell upon Mr. Nelson, the star half-miler of Manlius High School. He made it a point to attend all games if possible and if he could not attend he sent some one else to report the game. He also played in the second basketball team and showed the fellows how to play the way he used to in the old country. Here's to our business manager, Paul Whipple, whose ability we never knew before. He has used every spare moment of his time working on the annual, getting advertisements, doing all correspondence and all typewriting. He is an all-around business man. never found failing in his work. Whenever the furnace or lights are out of order Paul is always on hand, because he is a regular mechanic. Miss Nelson, the faculty editor, has been more successful than most of the students, as she has been able to find out more of the facts concerning the teachers' lives than any one else. She has worked many an evening trying to get at the bottom of Miss Perry's Life and so far as we know has at last succeeded. Faye is a good student and is always at work. The little boy, Saunders, is only about six feet and two inches tall, but for all his shortness he has been able to get the best jokes of the season and has one on nearly every pupil in the school, including the teachers. He borrowed from all the newspapers and magazines to be found any where in the county, and inci-dently invented a few of his own to fill in where he lacked a good one. PAGE TWENTY-FOUR
