STEWART WILLIAM MILLER (STUTZ) (REVEREND) Stutz was among the brightest in our class. When he first came to High School he was a bashful boy. but soon rumors came to the effect that his teachers found some difficulty with this active lad. Stutz possessed great athletic ability. Running a marathon was his chief delight, but of course he got his practice from running all the way to the farm (?) As a tennis player he was very successful. He was also one of the Oratorical Contest Speakers. His future ambitions are not definitely decided. but the good wishes of his classmates are with him in whatever he may undertake. HARRY YOUNG (SHRIMP) Shrimp came down from Laury’s every morning. He has a bad habit, that is getting up when he hears his train coming, then you can see him grab his bookfe, stuff his pockets full of candy, and his mouth full of crackers. On the train he finishes dressing, eats his breakfast and studies. In school he is a great squeeze among the girls and very often gets them in trouble. In the lab. he experiments a great deal, usually ending up in breaking glasses or having explosions. He is a great Latin translator and often excels the teacher in translating it. Well Shrimp is a good little fellow and is appreciated for his good humor. He intends to succeed his father in the store and some day the City of Laury’s will be proud of H. Young’s Dept. Store. —19—

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

SAM LOUIS FLOM SHAMMY Stop! Look! Listen! Open your eyes, for we have with us to-day Samuel Flora. Now don’t look at him sideways because you might not be able to see him. Sara has many good points. He is' one of the brightest pupils in the class. He is a regular walking encyclopedia. You ought to hear him translate Latin or work Trigonometry. Why. you’d think he was a professor! Now Sara is a terrible flirt. He has recently taken a decided interest in the first yeir class and as a result, is acting very funny of late. Sam’s hobby is reading books. His favorite author, as he tells us. is Robert Burns. He says that he enjoys reading poetry, especially “Mary in Heaven’’ and “My Highland Mary’’. Sam’s favorite song is “I Love the Ladies”. He plans to be a Civil Engineer. JOSEPH AMANDUS BITTNER “JOE” “He would go unto the end of the world to find a friend!” Joe. as he is best known among his classmates. hails from the prosperous village of Treichlers. His simple reason for coming to our dear old N. H. S. was to develop his capacity of thought. In this he succeeded fairly well. Joe was also very fond of tennis and could be seen at this game every spare moment of his time. If any one saw Joe with Younger classmates, they could be satisfied that he was giving them a square deal. Whatever Joe’s future desire is. the class of 1917 is positively sure he will be successful if he can keep the Younger (?) schoolmates out of his life long enough.
