 FLOYD ERWIN GEARY ' “TWIRLEM” As the wind he bloweth, when he listeth. But no man listeth. when he bloweth. Four years' Varsity Basket Ball Team, three years’ Varsity Base Ball Team, Track Team. Literary Society President. Oratorical Contest Speaker, Inter-Class Debater. As a Freshman “Twirlem was far from be-ins one of those meek, mild eyed, unassuming creatures who are rather seen than heard. He came from the Central building with the avowed intention of showiny how the school should be run. He urgently insisted on staging rn Inter class debate, but a few words with his ‘ would be opponents soon convinced him of the folly of this plan. This precocious boy is the wonder of the school today, to say nothing of the despair of the teachers. He is found to disagree frernently with his text boo’ s. Floyd is faithful to his class and has presented it in the weight contests. He works hard on all courses not in the school curriculum. He is a first class musician, although bashfulness often deprives others of the joys of his rage. After graduation, he is going to try to do his bit in bringing the Hun to his Nsnees. To him we 8iy “nu revoir” but not gb d-bye.” ESTHER IRENE GROSS “GROSS Y” V Candy! Well, 1 guess. Especially whenxt is donated. We wonder why she made an atX tempt to enter the Pa and Ma” restaurant sometime early in January. At window decorating, she is fine; especially when it comes to catching Robbers (Raub). Esther intends to enter upon a life of business, or which we know she will make a success, by the way she clerks in her Daddy’s shoe store. She was a faithful members of the girl«’ glee club, and we know now why the glee club improved so wonderfully the last year,—May I tell you—it was due to her taking vocal lessons. She also played center on the class Basket Ball team and always started the ball down to her goal a humming, which went a long way to help her class win every game. We see Esther enter the Sophomore class room, so many times in a day, is it on account of studies (?) but we can answer that without asking her about it. With a stern effort and a bound to win look, she entered a game, and we are sure she will enter the game of life in the same unerring way. 20

WALDEMARTHEODORE FEDKO “CONFEDY” If silence were golden. His pockets would be filled. Did you say bashful? Well, yes, Waldemar is somewhat bashful. He hails from sunny Newport, where he keeps a store, and usually carries a supply of chewing gum for the girls. In our first year in N. H. S. Waldemar was aery bashful, and hardly talked to the girls, hut now well he takes a good deal of interest in the girls, and we know he has lost some of his bashful ways, for occasionally we see him In the Third Ward. When you see Waldemar walking you think he is falling asleep, but did you ever see him play basket ball? He was the center for the boys' regular team and did good work. He is also the leading cornetist in our H. S. orchestra, and the star cartoonist for La Perle, whose name he suggested. We all expect Waldemar to be our first honor student for he surely deserves it. Some day we might meet Professor Waldemar. for he is going to some college to continue his studies. We hope you shall succeed, whatever course you take. Success Is sure to come to the sincere and studious. LAWTON WILBUR FYE “DIMPLES” The old saying, that all good things come in small packages, is an exception in this case; for who could deny that. Lawton is the best comedian in N. H. S. and he has had not little experience in the musical world. Along this line he is talented as a drummer, pianist and he is also one of the best bass singers in school. As an orator he has shown his ability in the Oratorical Contest, for he won the second prize. One of the characteristic traits of “Dimples” is his ever ready smile which has now many a friend for him, especially among the girlies of N. H. S. Last but not least, we dare not forget to mention his great ability as a typist. He has received a certificate for typing sixty-one words per minute. Some record, eh! His future ambition is to be a typist for some large firm and the best wishes of his classmates go with him. 19

EARLE HEPLER GROVE “GROVEY” Grovey is one of the brightest in our class. He is a fast young fellow, that is fast in his work. He is the shorthand speed king in our class and is also a good typist. While the basket ball season was in full bloom he was acting as stenographer for Mr. Sheaffer. He got his stenographic knowledge last summer when he was working in the office at the Atlas Portland Cement Company. Grovey is one of our tenor soloists and is also a good pianist. His plan is to get some more experience in stenographic work this summer and then go to some business college to become a first class business man. We are all sure that he will succeed. EVNA GRACE STROH “TOPSY “Topsy hails from the lower end of town. She is a very popular member of the cliss. She is active in all sports. As a Basket Ball player, she was very successful and ably lep resented our class on the team. Besides being a good student and a leader in various sports, “Topsy” showed her musical ability in accompanying the High School Orchestra and the Glee Club. She delighted to play the accompaniment for the famous Senior eornetist, but of course we really can’t blame her. As a member and pianist for the Glee Club also her splendid work is appreciated by all. She was one of the members of the Senior Octette which made the class famous on various occasions. We feel assured that in the future the N. H. S. will greatly miss her as its pianist. “Topsy intends to widen her musical knowledge by taking a special course in music. We all wish her success and hoping that she may some day become famous in the musical world. In the literary work in school, she took a very great interest. At the Inter-class debate, she won fame as the reciter for the Sfniors. “Topsy” was not only a fine recitet but also a good debater. 21
