Babe january 16, 1919 U1 lrowe that countenance cannot lie, Whose thoughts are legible in the eie Somehow he always manages to keep his nose in a war time con- dition, and the causes range from mouse-traps to Mack trucks. i'Babe is the genius in the Math. class and no matter what happens, he never loses his sunny disposition. Maybe, it is the suspenders he wears which attracts the weaker sex, or is it his personal imagination? If all goes well, we, his fellow students, may have to address him as Admiral Kiskis, because he is doing well in the competitive exams for entrance to Annapolis.

Minnie july 30, 1917 'iMy way is to begin at the beginning Mary can get excited over the slightest thing, She can talk you deaf, dumb, and blind when you get to know her. Mary also has her serious moments, for she always has her school work prepared on time. We hear that your ambition is to be a stenographer. You can be sure that there is always a place for a good one, Girls' League. ZIGMUND JOSEPH KULAS New Britain, Conn. Ziggy August 16, 1918 A' Keep up appearancesg there lies the test 'AZiggy , as he is called, can be distinguished by his appearance. He is a tall, lanky fellow, sociable and good-natured. He is usually found either in the bookkeeping room or in the Office Practice class, so we assume he is somewhat of an accountant. During his spare time he is a shoe salesman. This work probably requires keen judgment when it comes to fitting shoes to certain dames. We hope his customers leave satisfied. His ambition is to become a business man and he has certainly succeeded in getting a fine start. Baseball.
