MILDRED ALBERTA APPLEYARD Mildred excels most especially in the commercial department. Just at present, it ' s an even draw at guessing whether she ' ll turn out to be a typist or -a hairdresser. Which is it to be, Mildred? JOHN SPENCER ALMOND Woma-n-Hater John surely seems to make it a point to live up to his reputation as Woman-Hater. Not even our most experienced young vamp (oh, yes, we have a few) can succeed in evoking a faint interest on his part. Rl ' TH ELIZABETH BEATTIE Ruth is one of our most helpful and at the sime time, most popular girls in the class. Her many friends all agree that without her things would be decidedly dull.

To many of us he has given unsparingly of his time in order that we might pursue the course of study most suited to our individual needs. We have seen many changes in the teaching force. Miss Emerson, class advisor In our senior year, has left the class room for the joys of married life. Among oth- ers whom we have irecn depart with regret arc Mr Reed, Mr. Alley and Miss Taylor. Our stay in high school has not been all pleasure. Twice the hand of the Grim Reaper has plucked com- rades from our m ' idst. Lydia Cushman passed away during our Junior year, March 20, 1927. Just one year later, as we were busily loking forward to graduation. we learned, with the greatest Borrow, of the death of Joseph Faggiano (March 21, 1928). U ' liiv maintained a high scholastic standard, keeping the highest average in the school for two con- secutive years. The Lincoln Medal has been twice won by members of our class and it was a member of th - class of 1928 who was selected to be awarded the honor oi being .Mayor of Lawrence for an hour. We do not boast of these things. We let them stand as history, for all to judge. if we have been worthy, the satisfaction comes from knowledge of the not from the praising of it. And as we leave this school, some to continue our education, others to take our places in industry, in business and in the home, let us always bear in mind, the words of our Class Motto. Aegis fortissimo virtus — Virtue is our stn shield.
