Helen Mahan. 'Give me a theme,’ the little poet cried, And I will do my part.” This young lady has such a checkered career in the H S. that we really cannot take the space to tell the various changes she has made since she has been here. Hut we can say, Helen, that we are glad fate has destined you for a member of old ’ll. Helen is the kind that attends strictly to business, and lets other people’s alone. By the pile of books and papers she is always carrying around with her, u might think she had the weight of a nation on her shoulders, but it is really only the great responsibility of being a senior. She is a cheerful, dependable kind of a girl, who makes others feel comfortable. Joseph Sipple “God made but one man from this mold—one was enough. ’ Joseph has held the office of president of the class through the four years we have been in the High School. He has been very faithful, and has accomplished much without appearing to do so. Joe’s attention is very much taken up by a girl in the Sophomore class, and he is frequently obliged to pass her seat on the way to and from the front of the room. If smiles may be taken in account, these expeditions are very profitable. “Sip” is very fond of the water, and every time he goes near the lake he seems to be obliged to fall overboard. If you must take a swim, please wear a bathing suit or stay off the end of Haswell’s pier. He is a member of the Milford Six, Alpha Phi and the Athletic Association and Deuts- cher Verein.

Elizabeth Jenkins- ''Fashioned so t ■ derly, Young and so fair.” Member of Alpha Phi, Glee Club, Athletic Association, and the editorial staff of The Eidolon. The gieatest fault that we find v iih Elizabeth is that she has no faults at all. She is always dignified, but with a sharp lookout for the sunny and funny side of life. A good student, a delightful companion, and a true friend. She has always been loyal to old 1911, and is willing to do anything for the class, but deliver an oration. She is fond of sleigh rides and measles, and is always ready to smile. May fortune ever smile upon her. Elizabeth is destined to be- come a great artist, and we were fortunate in having such a genius in the class when illustrations were needed for the Eidolon. Marshall Jones ' hove seldom haunts the heart where learn- ing lies.”—Selected by himself. Treasurer of class, treasurer of Business Com- mitteeof Eidolon, treasurer of Athletic Association, member of Alpha Phi and Deutscher Verein When the days were balmy Marshall used to be taken seriously sick, and after getting excused from school, would find it necessary to go out on the lake to recuperate. He has such a fasci until g way. that when he explains why some reprimand should not be administered for some rule he has broken, the teachers cannot help realizing it was only a trifle. He certainly cuts some figure with the ladies. In this respect it is unnecessary to tell him to Brace-up a bit, for he is always on the job. We hope Mart will be able to regain his health when he goes to S otland tnis summer, as the water always seems to revive him. 22

Edith Simpson. “She is of si free, so kind, so apt, so blessed a disposition. Edith is one of the shining lights of our class. In any recitation she is always ready and almost invariably right. Her reputation for good be haviour in school and elsewhere, has never been sullied by the slightest misdemeanor. Others may try to air their knowledge but she does not, though she always has an answer ready. She has a rep- utation for goodness, which is equalled bv none in the world. In order that this shall not make her vain, we must add that she is very tall and thin, and could easily hide behind a bean pole. Stanley Vibbert. “A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing.” Member of Alpha Phi, editorial staff of Eido- lon and Deutsclier Verein. This is our little farmer lad. He conies from the thriving town of Shawnee, and from the name you might think he was an In- dian, but his own handle will set you right. Summer evenings Stanley may be seen sitting on the bridge at the mill and singing that touching ballad, “When the Hees are in the Hive,” to a fair rustic maiden by his side. Stanley is the youi g- est member of our class, being only 15 and is short of stature. In warm weather Stanley can always keep cool, for he can wiggle his large ears so that they resemble fans. We are very fortunate in having such a bright boy in our class, and we will always have a kind word and a pleasant remembrance for the Shawnee babe. :4
