ESTHER HOFFMAN7 WEAVER True Diligence is Always Reivardcd.” Yes, true diligence is always rewarded, and we know it will be with Esther, for she always was a girl who studied hard and stuck to her work no matter what happened. Esther had only two faults which we could see, and they were inquisitiveness and bossiness. We think in this Esther excelled by far any one whom we know. But these are only two faults and Esther had so many good points that we can't pass them by without mentioning them. There was shorthand —she was easily our Star. And could she sing? Why she was one of the Seniors’ representatives in the Glee Club, and we know it was Esther who made the walls ring. Last but not least— out of the whole Senior Class she was selected to do office work, which no one else was thought capable of doing. We imagine Esther will be the first one in the class to capture a position, and we can picture her leading her boss around by the nose. HIRAM THOMAS KUNTZ “Wonders shall never cease.” Kocnie” in spite of his nickname is as white as you or 1 and is also one of the Big Three— Frey, Costello and Kuntz. He was always a good sport anti was well liked among his classmates, but occasionally got in “hot water” with the faculty. In his liberal ways he was always willing to help along any good cause and especially the chewing gum cause. In all social affairs he worked hard and fostered our present unity and class spirit, which owe much to his untiresome efforts. This vacation Hiram intends to run a movie house in Washington, D. C. We hope he doesn't get stuck on some movie Queen, because he intends to enter college in fall. May he have the best of Luck. —16—

GRACE IRENE KOCHF.R A living proof that Great things come in small packages.'' Grace or “Chicken Little” as she is better known to us, is an extra small package, and therefore has an extra amount of all other things to make up for what she lacked in size. Grace was always the jollier, when the Seniors all got together for a good time. She was a great favorite among the girls, hut more so among the boys, altho Grace never encouraged them. A. C. W. seems to be her goal. We hope she makes and crowns it with a big success. JOSEPH HERMAN “I'm a poet and didn't know it, Give me a pen and I'll try again. Behold our class poet! Joe was one of the smartest fellows we had in school. He handled almost two courses in four years, won a prize at contest and won several chemistry debates with Prof. Scheaffer. Joe wants to become a chemist and we know he will make good, for in that peculiarly shaped head of his. there is something to make almost any Prof.’s hair stand up straight. His greatest fault was however, that Several times he became so enthusiastic that we he could not suppress the German spirit in him. thought he was going back to Germany to help the Kaiser fight. —15—

MABEL PAULINE ROYER “A Winning Smile Always Conquers. Pauline was always a good sport when it came to doing anything for X. H. S. and especially for her own class. She really was one of the very few with a lot of class spirit. But she was also good at other things. She spoke at the Oratorical Contest and captured the first prize. She was a member of the Girls’ Glee Club and was great admirer of basket-ball and a certain star. She believed in treating the lower class-mates a little better than her own. Try to picture Pauline in an up-to-date school room, administering knowledge in small doses to the children. Don't give up. Pauline, we are sure you will succeed. JOHN PATRICK DREISBACH “Silence is Golden If silence is golden. John surely has enough gold stored up to fill a house. Perhaps we had better say knowledge, because while the rest of the class chattered and giggled, John paid attention to what was going on and was the wiser for it. we are sure. He had a little trouble with the girls however, for his mannerly conduct won the favor of all of them. John expects to become a mechanical engineer and we are sure that he wdl make good. —17—
