LEONARD DAVID KEICHEL Bull, Short, fwfr, with graceful limbs is hc, Apollo fGllJl II'l'0d, Bull, we all lille thee. Hold thy reading glass closer, dear reader, and you will note that this fair visaged mortal is none other than our far famed hero Bull. His soap-box oratory puts all others to shame. He has cap- tured the first prize at oratorical contest, is captain of the basket ball team, class president, in gen- eral, all that is open for oiiice he has or had possessed, during his career here. His greatest accom- plishment in his time here is slin- ping thru class on looks, by Bull, hence his nic-k name. I-Ie intends to become a lawyer of note, and housing his office on 6th Avenue, New York. We fear very much, that like all other great men. he will fall to the charms of the woman's wiles. He is a patron of art, the terpsichor- ean variety, as he contributes 28c. weekly to trip a light fantastic toe. He is an advocate of the Young Men's Barber Shop Union and spent many of his precious S. BRUCE CHASE, JR. . College Preparatory Brutus, a by-product of Pen Argyl, entered the class ,of 1919 at the beginning of the Senior year, seemingly a modest and studious young man. But the gods, after a few days' residence in N. H. S., saw fit to remove his false coat and Crab shone forth in the pleasing garb of a regular fel- low. As the weeks leap-frogged their predecessors, Bruce formed a nat- ural affinity to the class of '22. His various successes and failures have been faithfully preserved in his diary. The Troubadour Four Jazz Quar- tet owes a larger part of its fame to this poor soul. His favorite songs, Roll Dem Bones and Oh Hel-en, have received much fav- orable comment. Bruce intends to continue his education at one of the higher in- stitutions, after taking a course in the 'tPsycholo,fry of Experience in Cuba. May thou too. a Brutus, have success like unto Caesar. evening hours improving this bene- ficial organization. K F' if as df 7

keep the class entliug-xiastic and active. 'Clin our first two years we must have either been too green or too bashful, for hikes, rides and parties were few. During these last two years, however, they occured more frequently. Some we know preferred the moonlight hikes but they attended a. party and had a good time whenever there was an opportunity. The class was inter- ested also in working up plays and were successful in giving' t'S.lats and lNhen the Boys Came Home at Literary Society meetings, New Ha1npsl'1i1'e Gold was given on February the 6th, which proved to be the most successful affair the class ever held. The hostess then reminded the class that it was half past ten and, therefore, time for rel'reslnnents. Irene, Flora and Beatrice offered to help serve. As soon as Lloyd got a glimpse of the appetizing delicacies, he uttered his usual excla- mation, This is going to be real. As always, the refreshznents proved to be the niost enjoyahle part oif the occasion. All seemed to want to speak at once, and usually started With, lilo you rezneinber how--.H israel, John, 'Wilhur and Elwood suddenly began, laughing heart- ily and looking in the direction of their eyes we saw our Freialnnau picture which the hostess had put up especially for this occasion. Israel said, 'tl wonder if everyone had doubled his knowledge as he has his height in these years. How ahout it, Rode? After the eats,', the class enjoyed once more the readings that Katie and Mazie had given at the Contest. Then Beatrice played our various Class Songs and all sang so inueh the more heartily be- cause it was probably the last time. VVith so fitting a close to their High School days the class separated after many exprevsions of appreciation for the pleasure of the evening' and then passed ont into the world. I. S. S.

1 RENIA DOROTHY SHELLHAMER General Slmiw little but slze's wise, She 's cl. terror for he-r size. This petite one was a very shy girl until the latter part of he Junior year. At this time she started to tease and pest the bo'-'K so 'much that we had to nickname her Pest However, she prefer her own pet name, Tutz. You hear her speak of Our bunch oc- casionally and very often of a red rose even in winter time. She was very studious through- out her High School course and ranks high among her classmates. She was secretary of the class for two years, a member of the Or- chestra last year, and an Oratori- cal Contest Speaker. She intends to continue her stu- dies and become a school teacher but she also has an ambition to become a nurse. Renia, you may be sure that 1919,' looks forth to your success in whatever work you may choose to do. w,-. P i lf . l ff l. L sf 'I iii ' 'gr HARRY AMMON MITMAN College Preparatory Harry Ammon Mitman, victim of many pranks, possessor of the nicknames Mity, Beulah and Tarzan, third baseman on the baseball team, forward on the basketball team, and, good track- man,-but alas, a poor jokesmith. What's that noise? That is Mity trying to tell us how many test tubes were swiped from him in the laboratory or relating his experiences after going on a fish- ing trip for an A . As you all know, his greatest delight is to cause trouble. Harry gets his lessons by read- ing the headlines and then 1'ecit- ing what he thinks it ought to be.
