TUSITALA RUTH ELIZABETH BURNS I find earth not gray, but rosy, Heaven not grim, but fair of hue. Ruth was one of the many optimists in the class of '2-6-but who could be anything ibult an optimist in that class? She always had friends about her and could usually be found in the center of a happy, talkative 'group of. girlls. MURIEL MAY CANFIELD Those eyes . Darker than darkest pansiesf' At first -glance one wou'ld set Muriel d-own as one of the pensive type-but not so! Just get her started and she'd giggle during a whole period. She was known for her neatness and h-er sweetness, while her heavy mass of soft. brown hair was the envy of her bobbed-hair-ed sisters. Muriel played! the piano well. She was another of the nimble-fingered girls of our class who served on the Junior decorating' committee. S'rEwAn'r CHALONER A 'wit's a feather, and a chief a rod, An honest man's the noblest work of God. Outside of Senior classes we used to call Stew Twinnie, for then we'd be sure not to make a mistake. Stew was an excellent chemist K? ! '25 Besides beinig on the base- ball squia-d II and III. he also helped to slow up service on the lunch counter IV, and danced and sang in the Flirtation group in Miss Bob White IV.

TUSITALA GRACE BROWN . Skillful mistfress of her art. Which do we mean-the art of fascina- tion or the art of pen and' pencil? At any rate, her 'list of activities shows her high school careerto have been an active and popular one.

ERWIN BRUCE Love is like the measles: we all have 'to go through it. Winnie has not gone fthrou-gh this par- ticular kind of sickness yet, but is patient- ly waiting. During his S-e-nior year he got to be known as Mysterious Winnie , be- cause -of the qu-eer manner in which he car- ried his hat while not wearing' it. He be- lieved in the saying Actions speak louder than words, and he has 'shown this as a member of the Football teams II, III, IV. FRANK H. BURNS And many strokes, though with a little axe, H ew down and fell the harclest-timbefred oak. Although Frankie is a little fellow, he showed himself to be always a great work- er. We remember particularly that he was an energetic scene lbuilder and shifter for the Senior Play IV., We know too, that he had serious' ambitions for his life work. He was among' those who felt the lure of machinery over in sh-op. Just keep plug'-R ging. Frankie, and you will succeed.

TUSITALA GEORGE! HOWARD CHAMBERLAIN It's not the money, it's the principle! That was HOward's favorite line in the Senior Play-in which he was capital as the hard-hearted father Of the love-sick hero-and his motto during the rest Of the year. A true literary genius, h-e .had the extremely happy faculty Of getting all A's without ever seeming to study. And he took senior Latin, too. His brilliant work placed him second- on the cla.ss honor roll and he was unusually honored' by being elected orator 'by iacclam-ation. Under his able editorship the Tattler had a successful year, and he was the first President of the Debating Society. His love Of angumenta- tion often made him the center of a group of interested listeners to whom he would talk 'by the hour On any conceivable sub- ject. fOther activities included French Play Ilg Tattler Reporter IIIg Pr-ess Club IVQ Dramatics Club IVg Miss Bo-b White IVg And above all, The Merchants' Aclner- tiser. RAYMOND GEORGE CHAPLIN A 'Ray' of light illuminated the path. Ray certainly did' his bit in illumina- ting the path of 1926. We .shall never for- get him as the perfect Willie of Seven- teen IV. He also a.ppeared in Princess Bonnie III. His untiring effort strength- enedl the staff of the Tattler his Junior and Sen-ior years when he was Assistant Busi- ness Manager and Business Manager re- spectively. He- was proficient on the track t-eam III and IV, and senior year was a member of the S-enior Cabinet -and Business Manager -of the class. Ray and Phil made up a great team, an-d it is hard to think of one without in-cluding the other. ROLAND CHARRON A quiet tongue shows a wise head. Charrie was as quiet as he looked, but he was always interested in everything that was going on. He had a gr-eat fancy for playing hockey, and he certainly could play the game, too. In ia few words Char- rie was a good -scout, studi-ous, and a good friend. We wish him luck.
