Elma Deputy. “Serenity and cheerfulness were her portion.” Elma is one of that distinguished group which conies from the charming city of Union. Her home city is not to be found on the map, but can be easilv found by anyone interested. She thinks much and says little. If you want to know much alxnit her. you should ask her mother or some of the family, for other people know little. All we know is that she is a good student, and one of those on the honor roll. We hope that she will create more of a commotion in the world than she ever has in the school. May Deputy So very kind and yet so shy.” This is our little Puritan maiden. Others may change, but May is always the same, yesterday, to-day, and forever. In her quiet way she is al- ways your friend. Nothing disturbs her except NOISE. More than one brave youth has stormed the castles of her heart; but after all May’s heart, in spite of this, still has room for every joy, and she has a kind word for all. She is known as Faith, one of the members of the trio, which was a valuable addition to the class during its Sophomore year. iu

Emma Welch Davis. “How far that little candle throws its beams.” Member of Alpha Phi and Athletic Associa- tion and Deutscher Verein. You might think on looking at Emma's picture that she was large, but she isn’t. That is, of course, physically. To see her you wrould wonder how such a small person could have the heart and brain she has. She is al- ways ready to lend a helping hand, and is never too busy to give any desired assistance. If you want anyhting done, go to Emma. She has a won- derful intellect, a modest disposition, and a heart of pure gold. Her friends are many, may they never cease to increase. Mary Draper. “Here’s a true industrious friend -God bless her.” Member of Alpha Phi, Literary Editor of Eidolon, member of Deutscher Verein. Mary’s chief fault, if it may be called a fault, is her unwillingness to get up and speak out. In class meetings she has wonderful ideas and plans, but somebody always has to explain them for her. Notwithstanding this, Mary is one of the best students, and also is very good company. For some years she has been the first aid to the unprepared in English and Latin, and altogether a very good friend in time of need. Her compositions are the wonder of the class, and we have never ceased to marvel at the marks she gets on them. We fully expect to hear some day of the famous novelist, Miss Draper, whom we used to know as just plain Mary. 18

Eva Deputy. “Fair tresses man’s imperial ra -e enslaves and beauty draws us with a single hair ' ’ Member of Alpha Phi and member of Deuts- cher erein Eva was quite young when she entered the High School, but soon demonstrated the fact that she possessed anything but a child- ish intellect. It is a mystery when she got her work done. Her reports show a fair sprink- ling in the 90’s, but studying is not her main oc- cupation. Oh, no ! She is quite fond of automo- biling with some of the Juniors, and writing notes. The only fault we have to find with Eva is that she is too reserved, and therefore a bit hard to get acquainted with. I hose who know her best, however, find her a loyal and true friend. Mav her untiring energy bring her the success she rightly deserves after parting from the Old High School. Elizabeth C Foulk. “Still waters run deep.” Member of Alpha Phi and member of Deuts- clier erein. This is Elizabeth, who only speaks when spoken to, and when she does, she says the right thing at the right time and in the right way. However, you needn’t ask her for her opinion, unless you are prepared to hear it. She is one of our “Charter members” having started to school with the first few of us, ami has proven her loyalty by standing with us so long. Oh she has suffered the miseries of pestilence (as well as the rest of us), for she has had both the mumps and measles this year. 20
