T 11 E BLUE AND WHITE MIRANDA WRIGHT This pretty blond head belongs to Miranda Wright. She has been gifted with that talent that many of us lack. That is art. Miranda draws pictures for us these days but some day----------she 11 draw pictures for another. Look through your Blue and White’s and note her splendid work in art. ORVILLE WRIGHT We get our names in the paper every day just because Babe works in the news office. I suppose you think I mean big Babe Ruth. Well i do but our Babe lias seconded added to his signature. Orville’s and Babe’s abilities don’t seem to run alike. Big Babe is a fine base ball player—but he has nothing on our Babe tor he is a fine printer. He likes to quote “D you have a date!”

THE BLUE AND WHITE 11 GERALD WATOON Hero Watson was given to this classmate as a nickname several years ago and ever since we have been using it. Looks as tho Heraldic was some sort of a hero and lie is —in Latin. You should see him play base ball. He’s mighty fond of stealing bases. I can’t figure out Herald’s byword, lb has quite a string of them and perhaps he’d rather tell you himself. ..L MARY WATSON Mary Watson is the business woman of our class. But no wonder she is competent because on Saturdays one may see her telling at the Citizens National Bank. Her charms are many, her faults so few. That one may ne’er discern them when looking-in those eyes of blue. And on Saturday nights one may know that she is doing a different kind of “telling” since Jerry’s home. P. F. C., ’2(5 ALFRED WOLPERT Sliiek Wolpert as they call him lias shown his ability in all his four years by being one of those few who are running for first place at the head of our line. If you don’t believe A1 has a good clear diligent mind, then let me inform you he was one contestant who took the state examination. His most frequent by phrase is “Where’s My Ktacomb.” You don’t see many shieks who don’t use it.

T H E BL U E A N I) W HITE 13 PESSIMISM Ladies anti Gentlemen, let me present for your approval this nest of the most magnificent squab eggs (that is in their own estimation). These young birds will be hatched tomorrow night after four years of the greatest care given them by their alma mater. Most of you i eople are here this evening because this town is so dry that electricity won’t burn or because you wanted to get in any place out of the rain. Probably the women are here because they wish to show off that new spring bonnet or some other fool thing they purchased out of their husband’s next pay check. You people will see if you look around 29 married couples here who are intensely interested m this nest of eggs. If you will stop to consider the reason you will think of this or hear some one say, “Yes, that one there in the red dress is my daughter or that one there in the black coat is my son. There are also a few who are interested in these 29 eggs beside the parents. Now before it is too late let us examine one of these eggs. The name written upon this egg is Annie. Now Bitner aspires to be ope of the greatest pianists of the time but she won’t be. Who ever told her she could play was mistaken and she let it go to her head. Annie will gel mixed up in some scandal and be put behind the bars. More expense for the citizens of Newport. One egg gone bad. Gertrude Berrier thinks she will be a school teacher but after whipping one of the children whose father was on the school board she was asked to resign and so she returned to Newport and placed a sign on the front porch. Can you imagine vhaj it is? It is this, “Washing done up to a standard, not down to a price.’’ Tlj£ seepnd egg gone Imd. You people probably don’t know it but Avhile in Washington these 29, eggs and their three chaps were nearly run out of town. You probably will never hear the last of it.but it may be lived down. Eva Fleisher expects to be a nurse. She thinks because she is an honor student that that will get her and hold her a position. She no doubt will beepme a nurse but she will fall in love with t p ilti-niil-lionaire patient and after the wedding the state asylum g ard iyjll be around to take him back to the bug house. Then back to the tarin .fpr Eva to brood over her High School Honors and to deliver her Commencement Oration to cows. Another egg gone bad. Paul Franklin Cauffman thinks that he is such a diplomat that he might consider accepting the judgeship of the World Court. He always did aim above his reach. But 1 just know that he will walk into some place for a t.urkisli bath, fall in love with the proprietor’s (laughter and return to Turkey with her. But I suppose while crossing the Hellespont in a raft, the raft will sink and he will go to the place that bears the first syllable for its name. Can you imagine such a deplorable ending for such an enterprising young man? Mary Harbaugh has decided to become tlje wife of the President
