, You probably already know Ferris Bricker,- Brick as she is familiarly called. She likes to chew gum-out side of school-and she will talk to some young men if she ri has them cornered so they can't escape. But Brick is alright. ' FERRIS BRICKER The last senior to be mentioned is Roy Means,-th-e man who eats electricity. He is a good student and may be President of the United States some day, but we doubt it. He has his room adorned with such mottoes as Nothing like work allowed . Roy has a winning smile and a cute way of combing his hair. I F ROY MEANS

Glass iiaistnrp The class which entered the portals of the high school in the fall of l9l l, was one of the largest, and most prom- ising group of students seen at the high school building for some time. ' There were fourteen pupils included in the ranks of this illustrious class, and although their number has been dimin- ished to six, they have not lost any of their energy and spirit. In truth they are just as enthusiastic a bunch as when they entered. After first acquainting themselves with the peculiarities of their new environment, they settled down to work and study with the ease and grace of veterans. The studies were rather difficult at first to be sure, but when once firmly started the class rushed forward with the speed of a cyclone, and the force of an avalanche. During the first few weeks the remark was often heard O I do hate latinn, but at the end of the second year -the slogan was O that we might study Cicero! About the same can be said of every other study. Thus in the end they were masters of the situation, andiwere much delighted to think they had mas- tered the work, instead of compromising with it. The class of I9I5 has had a pleasure conferred upon it which very few classes of Nodaway High School have enjoyed, namely: of receiving very few lectures on the subject of not having their lessons. This was due to the fact that the students took a real interest in their work, and always gave the best that was in them. In this respect they should leave a good example for succeeding classes to follow. Now that the class is ready to leave the. high school, and plunge into the work of the world, if they can only keep the same ambition, energy, and enthusiasm with them, tha-t they possessed in school their motto,- Onward for Successn- will certainly be anything but a failure.
