EDWARD HOLMES 41Mexvv Cheer up, Eddie. Napoleon was little, too. Great things come in little packages, anyhow. In spite of his lack of height, Ed was by no means small on the basketball court. He reminds us all of the Cheerful Cherub. He just loves to tease people, although he isn't obnoxious with it. If, on a rainy day or a blue Monday, you are feeling excessively blue, just trot yourself around to Eddie Holmes, and you'll soon find yourself laughing and joking in spite of yourself.

As he unwinds himself from his seat, there's some doubt as to the outcome. His throaty rumble is seldom heard in the classroom, but when it is, it's to the delight and astonish- ment of his teachers. He has a certain supercilious air that, combined with that patrician nose and absolutely classic profile, is sure to get'em. Glee Club, 45 Hi-Y, 35 Vice-President, 45 Geometry Club, 2. JANE S. HUGHES Feminine sweetness! That's Jane. If you don't believe us, ask Joe. Jane has a way of speaking that no one else could acquire if they tried. She talks in a slow sort of drawling hum, but don't let it fool you. She has plenty of the old pep and personality tucked away in there. As for talking5 well, she's saving her voice for future years when she'll need it to argue with joe.

L. BOOTH HUMPHREYS, 3rd Boo-Boo D-d-d-d-do-do-do-do we like Booth or d-d-d-do-do-do-do we like Booth! Whenever he recites in class, it takes him five minutes to get primed up, and then you can't stop him. To the great joy of all the pupils, he wastes away a lot of class time and says nothing. Anyway, he's a great fellow and always good for a laugh. He's a good basketball player and participates in all the games he can. This is not his only participation, however. Oh me, he also participates in the game of love. He has a nervous right eye. It's always winking.

Q. IRQ., 1. Q o' fp li' - l I i a t PAUL HECK 4' Beech Don't rush, girls! Line forms on the right. The girls have to get in line to talk to Paul. He is that tall, hand- some blcnd with the expressive blue eyes, as the girls say. He is very extravagant with his compliments to the fair sex, calling them bright eyes, beautiful, and darling. Did you hear the one about-. Telling the latest joke is one of his remarkable abilities. Though most of his time is spent with the damsels, he uses his spare time to participate in many of the activities.

Laureate Society. CHARLES HENRY Smokey joe Everything is peaceful and quiet. Suddenly in the dis- tance is heard a low, scarcely audible rumbling. It grad- ually grows louder and louder, until it is deafening. The noise is unbearable. A siren-like screech pierces the air. Silence. Vi as it a cyclone? No. It was only Smokey joe Henry, arriving at school in his Buick. He says it's better to ride to school than to walk, but we doubt it. Besides driving to school, Charles also drives on the golf green with a marked degree of success. Golf Team. 3, 4, Geometry Club, 2, Orchestra, 2. ELIZABETH HERSCHEL ii Betty 1 1 Small, dark, and cute is a fitting description for this little senior. To her close friends she is known as the pos- sessor of unusual wit. This trait combined with her good- heartedness makes her very popular with her friends. She is always willing to help anyone in need and is the possessor of dependability and efficiency. Betty and her inseparable Flossie have been seen around the halls of M. H. S. ever since their acquaintance began. Play Committee, 3, 4, Dramatic Club, 3. ELBRIDGE E. HOFF ll YY Elbridge could be called an orator, debater, mountain- eer, Irish cop, or any other name one could think up, if one judged by his personality, his activities, and his play parts. But we'll just call him Elbridge who loves to argue. It doesn t matter to him with whom he argues, just let him go to it. He is a man of many talents. Everyone knows and likes him for his pleasant ways and willingness to be of assistance at any time.

0 six S ati, fi ,LQ 'Q , 2 D ll' ' Z 2 if ll gl RAYMOND HUSTON u Redsn This boy has a very pleasing disposition in spite of his red hair. We don't know whether it's a habit with Ray or not, but one day in law class we were told to look up the word artifice. Ray looked up artisan which means a skilled workerg artifice on the other hand means a trick played upon a buyer or seller. There is some connection, because the trick usually requires a skilled worker to detect or perform such fraud. Well Ray, we hope you will become an artisan rather than an artilician. ELMER JOHNSON Where's Elmer? He's probably serenading some fair damsel with the silver-toned strains of his violin. Vlho knows? Elmer is a quiet lad, but they say the quiet ones are the ones who do a lot we know little about. He is one of the few who can boast of having played over the ether waves from station WCAM. The maestro of the violin, that's Elmer. We predict a Rubinolf or a Bernie. Who knows? Maybe he will play Love in Bloom, and be a Jack Benny. He's quite a remarkable fellow. Music is not his only interest, however. Cogs, pullies, chains or anything mechanical also appeals to him. Orchestra, 2, 3, 4, Perfect Attendance, 2, 4. WILLIAM KEVILLE ll 71 Bill Keville is the good-looking, congenial fellow who causes a stir among feminine hearts as he passes through the halls or stars on the basketball floor. His wit and good nature make him one of the most popular of senior students. His wavy auburn hair has won him Reds as a nickname. Every senior class has a fellow like Bill-good naturetl, good looking, and a star athlete, but only the 1935 class of M. H. S. has the one and only Bill Keville.

KIRKPATRICK H okie Do you remember fifth period lunch, when Oscar used to take his noon-day nap in Orville's car? If it had not been for the car, he probably would have slept on the curb while waiting for the bell to ring. We are sure that he will never miss school next year, because immediately after 3:00 P. M. he is seldom to be found near the building. Play Committee, 35 Christmas Card Committee, 4, Geometry Club, 2. THE RECORD
