ELVIN HANNAHS “Ben’’ Although every year Elvin said he would not be with us again yet we are thankful to say that the beginning of each new year found him still in our midst. He is very much interested in athletics and has proved a worthy member of our class. EDYTH CARR “Edy” Edyth is quiet, reserved, and modest, ever cautious; never bold. She seems to think that she would like to teach school but judging from appearances we predict that she will soon take up a course of domestic science. VERGIL JOHNSTON “Verg” Our big man “Verg” is very attentive in school work and is an excellent historian. He is a loyal booster of the class of ’22 and ranks high in athletics. DOROTHY OAKLEAF “Dot” Dorothy is one of our prominent senior girls, always willin-g to do her part. Although she is red headed, she is very quiet and submissive. She has a voice “ever soft and gentle; an excellent thing in woman. LEWIS FLETCHER “Fletch” “Fletch” is the most industrious boy in our class. He says he is here for business and he certainly makes every minute count. “Never put off ‘til tomorrow what you can do today” is his motto, and with this aim in view we predict for him a high place in the wrorld. 13

RALPH HEISTER Shorty” “Shorty” or “Pony” has outgrown his first epithet and we hope the later. “Shorty’s” popularity (with the girls:) and athletic ability has grown almost as rapidly as his statures. We are certain the world will welcome him with “les bras ouverts.” CARMA HAGAN “Mary Jane” Carma. with her pleasing manner and unobtrusive disposition, proved a welcome arid useful addition to our class during its decline in numbers. She is noted as a culinary expert and rumor says she will ere long use her talent in a lonely man’s kitchen. DONNA RIGGLE “Sunny” When you meet Donna you meet a quick sunny smile reflecting her cheerful, happy disposition. She entered our ranks only this year but in this short time has shown herself highly talented, especially in dramatics and music.. FREDERICK SCHWAB “Fritz” Frederick, a youth of great stature, has only been with us this year but has won the friendship of everyone. His diligent, studious nature has caused him to be looked to as a model by his classmates. LEODA SHOEMAKER Leota comes to us each morning fresh from the “auld sod. She is quiet and meek in the presence of many, yet overflowing with fun and mischief in the presence of few. “Her modesty’s a candle to her merit.” 12

EVA BLAIR “Little Eva” “Little Eva,” because of her energy and concientiousness, is an influential factor in every line of work she attempts. She is jolly, god natured and even tempered and meets everyone with an aristocratic smile. EARL MURPHY “Pat” Our Editor is a hard worker and a con scientious student. He is always ready to help where help is needed and performs each task earnestly and incomplainingly. “His not to reason why; His but to do or die.” VERNA ARTH “Peggy” Peggy came as a new recruit in our soph-more year and we’re glad that she did, because when any problems have faced us, Peggy has always been ready to help push. Hers is a “full rich nature, free to trust; thuthful and almost sternly just.” CARL PORTZ “Susie” Carl, understood by few; misunderstood by many, we feel will be looked up to mentally as well as physically. He has taken an active part in every line of high school work, especially dramatics. MARJORIE MAUS “Margie” “Margie” is a tall -graceful blue eyed blond. Her activities run in many channels ranging from athletics to dramatics and Glee Clubs. She is a good student, and we are sure Dame Fortune will smile on her. 14
