DAVID CLARK Genial Dave Clark-one of the best-liked chaps in old M.H.S. We always thought Dave was almost perfect but we find that he possesses one fault, a very serious one indeed-he dances.

ELSIE PERKINS Elsie is one of our prettiest yzirls. When- ever a debate was held on Country vs. City, Elsie was always the argument which won for the country. Miss Perkins won a medal in Typewritinir too, so you see, with her brains and beauty combined, we need have no misgivintzs as to her future success. Library Club 4213 Shorthand 141: S. G. A. f11. HDXVARD KLENSKE Ten Reasons Why We Should Have Caps and Gowns by Ed. Klenske. Such may or may not be the subject. of a stirring address but we must admit that it was Ed's sterling uratorv that persuaded us to vote for Cans and Gowns. Ed came to us from St. An- selm's and became very prominent in school life. Despite a serious physical handicap Ed went out and earned a letter in football.

FLORENCE OLSHN Florence Olsen, one of our honor students, is, however, not a proverbial crammer, but a good sport to all her numerous friends. Florence is evidently much interested in hiking, for time and again she has been seen in her knickers, alonf.: with some other knicker-clad maidens, journeyimz forth for sonic-where.
