William Van Arsdale “Bill” Tho’ the hour be late, and then minutes fly, He’ll be right here by and by. A honk; a rattle; a squeak; a whiz! The door opens, and here it is. Bill is always cheerful and ready to help out in any way he can. His many warm friends wish him the success he so well deserves. Bertha Van Riper Bertha is a quiet soul, who carries herself in a most charmingly dignified manner. But she’s just the best kind of friend imaginable, with her ready smile and solicitude. She’s another of our most successful business students, and we are sure the same success which she has achieved here will follow her in later life. Hamilton White “Ham” “Ham” has been stepping out since he has had permission to drive “Dad’s Car”. That may be the cause of his popularity among the fair ones lately, especially the brunettes. He evidently doesn’t believe that “gentlemen prefer blondes.” Now we’d like to know who the girl was who wrote letters to our modest senior, that caused so much anguish? How about it. Ham? Adolph Wildner Adolph is the sort of boy who would do his best and then try to do better. Never quelled by a failure, he rises up and tries again. Adolph’s special pleasure is Latin IV, and many are the joyful hours he spends over his favorite lesson. Perhaps he thinks differently, but we know it’s true.

Elizabeth Soper “Lee” Wee dark curls, dusky eyes; Dazzling smiles, or otherwise. Short skirts and silken hose; A powder puff where e’er she goes. On each side a man or two— Gigglingest girl you ever knew! Ella Louise Stafford “Eloise” This well-known senior has a trade-mark that distinguishes her from the rest of her class-mates,-—the name of a favorite sweet, “Oh, Henry!” Eloise is a good business student too, so maybe she’ll become the President’s private secretary in the end. Secretaries lead busy lives, and meet many people, so perhaps the trade-mark will change with time. Here’s to the best road, anyway, Eloise. John Stevenson “Johnnie” This jovial young person is Mynderse Academy’s finest penman (ask Miss O’Brien). He doesn’t live within the limits of our great village, so we residents don’t know what we miss during the noon hour. Johnnie’s the life of those who bring their lunch, the girls especially. You see, he’s such a popular gentleman. Helen Syron It is rumored that this lass from the city of Tyre has set just as many masculine hearts on fire as did Helen of Troy in olden days. Helen’s sunniness is well-known in Mynderse, and has made for her innumerable friends. K 5i» Page 19

F Doris Wilkes “Bobby” Who can deny that Doris is a friend indeed? She is just the sunny, capable sort of person that everybody loves. Her talents are too numerous to mention. Well do we remember her undisputed eminence in American History. But it is with equal proficiency that she accomplishes whatever she undertakes. Surely she is one of whom Mynderse may well be proud. Robert Wilson “Lee” This is “Golden-Locks”, the cartoonist. For an all-around good sport, he fills the bill. Whether it’s acting on the stage or driving a car, he is equally proficient. Without Lee, our class would be without a genuine humorist. For who can he serious with Lee around? Leah Wood “Les” Here’s Leah, the talkative senior. But we’ll have to hand it to you, Les. You have made many history periods shorter by delivering a lecture when asked to answer a question. We all like Leah, big words and all, and hope that she will find the world an easy place in which to live. Page 21
