THE SPHINX 25 Hazel Farmer. Hazel applies herself zeal¬ ously and impartially to all her studies, and none has yet been found that she dislikes. We think such a person has a wonderful future. Lula Meinzer. Lula’s calm and unruffled appearance deceives even the teachers, who think she is such a good little girl. Does not let her studies interfere with her high school education. Archie Ault. Archie is a handsome little cuss, but far too bashful; with Archie’s good looks, Atherton Cooke would have Doug Fairbanks looking for a job inside of a week. He studies some. Laura Martin. Laura indignantly denies that she is still taking Mellen’s Baby Food, but looks are often deceiving. But then, all people were not made equal either in size and intellect, and that’s her consolation. Loraine Wiltse. When a Junior’s interest wanders to Senior ranks there must be a reason; or perhaps the interest was attracted from the other direction. Loraine is our society girl, our one real and genuine re¬ presentative.

24 T HE SPHINX Ruby Ross. Ruby is one of a very few who can say 450 words per minute and still be understood; no man would ever stand a chance against that, so it looks like she will be a leader in woman suffrage. Ernest Hardy. “Ikey” can rush around madly and still do less than anybody in school, which is an art—if you don’t believe it, ask “Ikey” himself. Gets stepped on often, but usually comes up smiling. Marie Kinney. Marie is one of the seven wonders of the world, for she has never been known to miss a lesson, skip a class, or get less than a “I” in deportment. Albert Bydalek. Albert almost ranked a Senior this year, so we don’t dast say any¬ thing mean about him, what with him being so dignified and everything. Alma Hall. Anyone so desiring can always be sure of the interest and sympathy of this young lady, especially if that someone be a male. Is taking an extension course at the Bijou in addition to regular work.

26 THE SPHINX Bernice Davis. Bernice is one of the few M. H. S. girls who believe that Leap Year is worth while. Spends most of her spare time at the Bijon, storing up the intellectual energy dispensed therefrom ably assisted by various and sundry males. Theodore Johnson. “Cotton” is one of the foremost lady-fussers in M. H. S., due prob¬ ably to his splendid ability to blush when a maiden speaks to him. Says six studies are running him raggety. Jessie Greenawalt. Jessie is a most capable girl and shows results of growth both in mind and body. With her disposition, even Miss Beardslee would be popular. Walter Scott. Walter may be all right and he may be honest, but he certainly looks crooked. There are only two “hard guys” in M. H. S. and Sir Walter is both of ’em. Strong (?) for study and Miss Beardslee. Della Brown. Della comes pretty near being the “Sphinx” for which this book is named, but she has a lot of fun on Exemp¬ tion days while some of her gabby friends are taking their exams.
