mini! illinium mil mini 1 1 nil I mi I nil Mill III! Mill illliiil GERALDINE ADAMS Give every man thine ear but few thy voice There ' s something of an elfin youthfulness about Geraldine. She has a piquancy ex- tremely interesting — the kind of a person who always does her part in a quiet, unassuming manner and with such becoming ' modesty. Rather shy and retiring, petite, and demure with a gentle manner and flashing a most ingenious smile. THELMA ANDERSON Virtue is beauty Sec. of the Music Club (4) One look at Thelma ' s dancing eyes and you have an idea of her colorful vitality. She is very sincere, capable, and persevering and cer- tainly a most efficient secretary of the Music Department. Her curly hair and twinkle in her eyes combined with her spontaneous sense of humor and vivacity have won her many friends. JAMES ANDREWS Alone I did it Operetta (1) Ath. Mgr. (3) (4) Gen. Council (4) In talking to Jimmie one is inclined to think him right and the world wrong. He lias a talent for explaining a subject in an intelligent and convincing way so that it is comprehended by others. Good looking, teas- ing, and feigning a rather worldly attitude, Jimmy claims he doesn ' t like the girls — but sometimes we wonder. GRACE BAKER My crown is my heart Grace has a grave and dignified mien with loads of excitement and pep smouldering un- derneath that Grace is too modest, perhaps, to let out. She is quiet and unassuming with a saving sense of humor. Just when one might least susepct it, one catches a glimpse of .charming wit that makes one forget she ever was the least bit retiring. KATHERINE BALLANTINE She is wise, if I may judge of her Wooster High School (1) (2) Katherine has the prettiest complexion imaginable. Perhaps that is the reason she seems always so happy. At unexpected mom- ents one is apt to hear that contagious giggle of hers and always there is a snap in her eyes that belies the impression one might gather from her manner that she is retiring and reserved

fHansftrlu Sftgh School Annual- Ntnrtrm Suirntu-thrrr And wert thou again flaunted, dear knight, she inquired teasingly. Yes, lady of velvet, hesitatingly came the reply. I fear me the vivacious lady loves Peter greatly. Motioning for him to fellow her, she led the way into the drawing room. She felt most sorry for her dear knight because the vivacious lady whom he adored loved Peter, but she feared for herself lest Peter whom she loved, loved the vivacious lady. She adores Peter and does he equally well adore her? again she questioned with a curious tinge of something almost bordering on anxiety. Oh, of course, who could help that? That made the lady of velvet smile to herself. Oh, lady of velvet, his smooth voice continued, If you only understood. I love her so that she means more to me than my art. How can she — how can she love Peter who has no art, beauty of soul, nothing but common sense, common as himself. Oh how young you are, dear knight, thought the lady of velvet. How young, and then she spoke. Dear knight, I have many things I wouldst say to thee. One is this, thou hast not the true faith. In thy heart thou lovest one mortal more than God. Thou doest not understand what thou believest. Worldly opinion is too much in thy heart. Know this, then, and resolve it in thy heart, God is love. Only when love is in thy heart can God be there and only can true love for any person be in thy heart when there is love for everyone. Only with this can one advance upon the path of success, for only by love is love begat and only by dependence on the helping push of hands of those who love can one succeed. Lean on thy fellow man and let him lean on thee. This afternoon I went to see thy portrait of me in the exhibition. All the wonderful persons were praising it and at first I was so proud — but then disappointed for I know it is not wonderful for it holds not the light of love to make it live through the years. Thou dost not love the vivacious lady but only dost thou adore her, nor dost thou know that fame is not success. Moreover, know this, that all men cannot be ar- tists, nor are only thou blest to whom genius is given. Every man has his gift. Peter hast many gifts thou hast not and I love him and he me and some day he will be the husband of the lady of velvet. But until thou learnest the secret of true love thou can ' st not be happy with the vivacious lady for thou only adoreth her. She stopped, then softly laughed at his bitter look. She rose and bending over gently kissed his forehead, then carefully led the way from the drawing room. He bent low over her hand and kissed it. Goodbye dear knight, she said. You go to Prance to light? Remember me. I can not but help it, lady of velvet. Goodbye. And going forth to battle, in love I wish only for you to know that at last I have gained success for I loved and from thee I learned. The lady of velvet turned from her reading of the dear knight ' s last goodbye with glistening eyes. I adored him and knew he would die with fame, but I love thee, my Peter. ELEANOR BRADFORD.

NAOMI BANKS A daughter of the Gods, divinely tall Operetta (1) Glee Club (1) (2) (|3) (4) Piano Depf. (3) (4) Ex. Com. (4) Debate (13) Tall, stately and impressive, with a most graceful and distinguisheud manner. She is a very versatile person with a colorful and rather exotic personality, capable of doing whatever she undertakes. She is studious, with a decided faculty of imparting her knowl- edge to others and making herself understood — and a musician of talent. THEODORE HANKS Fain would I woo her Rather socially inclined is our Teddy, as his appearance might suggest. He is a good-natured, easy-going, careless, indifferent fellow, one who is never excited, but com- placent always. A slow but sure sort of a fellow, although apparently rather bashful, is quite a lady ' s man. BEATRICE BARDEN must become a borrower of the night for an hour or twain Wooster High School (1) (2) Conservative, loyal and very lovable is Beatrice. She is studious, accurate, and calm, and possesses a very tenacious brain. Sincer- ity, earnestness and determination are delight- fully combined There is a trace of indomita- ble will in Beatrice. One feels that perse- verance by her will gain for her anything she really wants. SHIRLEY BEAM How far that little candle throws its beam Shirley combines indifference and fervor in his countenance. There ' s just enough vitality in his eyes to show a whole-hearted enthusi- asm for the things he ' s really interested in. He has red hair that more than one girl en- vies and a natural and unaffected air that commands everyone ' s admiration. CLARA BEARD ' Thy virtues spoke of and thy beauty sounded ' Clara would certainly straightway have won the heart of Titian, for at the first glimpse of her radiant hair, his enthrallment would have been complete. One has only to hear Clara ' s infectious laughter and join in, for here is the gayest of dispositions that loves to laugh, joke and talk, and seems to make everything a 1 ark.
