RUTH RUSSELL (Ritthie) June 22, 1917 Kirklyn Commercial Ambition: Stenographer Motto: “Worry not of tomorrow, but take life as it comes.” “Ruthie” admits she wasn ' t meant to climb the tree of knowledge, but she is one of the smartest Senior blondes, and always knows the latest in the way of songs, jokes, or knitting stitches. She has efficiently managed the girls’ basket- ball team for two years. If good looks and a sense of humor count, “Ruthie” will go far. More power to her!

MARY MILDRED FRANCES SIMPSON {JliLlie) December 7, 1917 Overbrook General Ambition : Secretary Motto: “The elevator to success is not running — use the ladder.” “Millie” is the Grade Allen of the Senior Class. If you want to know the wrong answer, just ask “Millie.” But with it all, she is well-liked by her classmates and she really is a snappy dresser. She came to us fresh (!) from West Catholic two years ago and she has done much to help our class in every- thing it has undertaken.

She has diligently pursued those favorite studies, Chemistry, Trig, and Solid Geometry, and has come out on top. But that isn’t all. Jeanette has been jump center on the team for three years. Ne.xt to her quiet manner, the teachers will miss her giggle and her good marks.
