HANNAH EDNA DILLIARD PROF. “She is a learned creature, and one who never feared to tell her knowledge” She is one of the “educated” of our class, and therefore her nickname. One of her common sayings is, “All de times”. She performed her work at school very faithfully, only she never liked “Trig.” She was an Oratorical Contest speaker and captured the second prize. As a debater she has proven her ability in the Junior-Senior debate of 1916. She possesses great athletic ability, especially in Basket Ball, and was known as a “Star Player”. Her future desire is to be a Latin Professor, and she has our best wishes for success. We hope she may some day be the Latin teacher of our Alma Mater. ARTHUR CHERINGTON WOLFE “WOLFY” “What is the use of doing today wh t you can do to-morrow.” Wolfy is a good chap when he is in right humor, but when things do not go right in his line, he is dangerous. He was the only successful athlete in the class of 1917. He represented the class on the Basket Ball team, on the Base Ball team, and on the Track team. He was successful in winning a medal for scoring the most number of points at the track meet in Northampton. 1916. He holds this as a very valuable thing. He also likes to go out sporting in an automobile with his friends. When he goes on a trip he almost always drives thru the limits of Treichlers. on account of the good roads and for various other reasons. When he cannot get the automobile he goes for a “stroll”. Wolfy expects to become a master mechanic at the Lawrence Portland Cement Company after graduation. At present he is slowly but surely getting there. —17—

VERNA IRENE ZAKUTNY VEE “Always a Smile” Verna came here from the coal regions in the beginning of her Senior year. She was liked by all her classmates and by others as well (?). and gave a good account of herself. She took up her residence with her parents on the farm. She is a studious girl and is interested in history, especially the “Stuart line of Kings”. She was some dancer. That’s all she talked about. She expects to start a Dancing Academy on the farm and revive the barn dance. WILBURT WATSON DANNER HANK Hank has the honor of being the tallest male of our class. His proportions are such that thru practice he has acquired a great voice for singing bass. His capacity of thought is very large and is made evident in his knowledge of bookkeeping in which he leads the class. His long fingers are of great value to him in typewriting. He received a button emblem for accuracy in typewriting and is a member of the Order of Accurate Typists, having attained a record of 63 words per minute for ten successive minutes without a mistake. Quite some record, eh! He is the only one who ever received such a prize in the N. H. S. He intends to become a bookkeeper in the near future. —16—

ALICE MAE FREY (CHUBBY) “Slow but Sure” Here is Chubby from the upper en 1 of town. She was a very slow and quiet Kiri when she entered High School and h is not ch inged very much yet. She is opposed to athletics, and it is very doubtful if a ghost could make her run. Although she is slow she is sure, and she is good in typewriting; and has received several speed certificates. Her future desire is to become a stenographer. JOSEPH ALBERT KIVERT JOE Well, here we have Joe. one of the most studious pupils of the class of 1917. He was liked by all teachers and gained a lot of friends. To tell the truth he is “some” musician. Why honestly, he can make a violin talk! He played in the orchestra during his high school career and helped to make it successful. In athletics Joe was not represented, but nevertheless he took an interest in it. In chemistry class he gave a good account of himself; he wras always experimenting. Edison will surely be after him some day. He expects to become a civil engineer. and some day we will see Joe at the head of Uncle Sam’s engineering department. —IX— 4
