HELEN MINERVA LEIBENGUTH Perhaps Helen would be surprised to know that one of the boys in her class termed her a. good sport and perhaps she wouldn't care either. Helen is the kind of a girl who doesn't seek intimaeies. Ever since Elsie left school Helen has travelled her own way, not bother- ing any one. No one else could fill Elsie's place, so Helen thought-for you must know they were chu-ms. Helen being the Junior part- ner of the firm, Weitkneeht and Leibenguthf' lf she excelled in Math as she does in making bead work and pretty things, she would, without a doubt, receive 100W-but such is not the case. She has given us no inkling of what she intends to be, but l believe it is a school teacher. If sueh is the case, here 's for luck. Creatures, they -my, are tutne m proportion to their size.

EDITH L'EI?ECC'A .EASTERDAY Happy 1 am, from cure Pm frcc, Why crrenft they all just ws happy as one? Edith, better known as HGl'2ll1ll'lliGH has a loving and generous disposition. Good tem- per, like a sunny day, sheds fl brightness over everything, seems to be her motto. The Campfire group is proud to claim her as one of its members, for Edith was faithful to duty and service. Mice, bees, bats and bugs are pzwtieuiarly horrifying to Edith, and not even the most energetic naturalist can ever be able to change her views. But in spite of that Edith enjoys fishing trips in her dreams. Her host of class friends will all miss her laughing countenance. Edith desires to enter Normal and follow the profession of teaching. We may some day hear of her having joined the Northa,mpton Teaching Corps. May fortune speedily bring her the best it has in store. good spirits.

MABLE FLORENCE SIIEETZ Maiden with dafrk brown eyes, In whose orbs avshadow lies, Like in dusk the evening skies! We now have the great opportunity of intro- ducing the talkative and jolly Mable. During her four years she made good use of her time. She is a very studious girl, spending most of her time studying. Her spare moments are spent in teasing and worrying others. The sporting blood in Mable runs very strong- ly and she has 'missed but a few of our Basket Ball gamesg and then only when otherwise cn- gaged-usually in eating. She has great vocal ability and can be heard a great distance. Her favorite songs are: Merry Life and Home, Sweet Home. Whatever may be her walk of life, the mem- bers of the class of 1920 wish hor success ' and happiness. it PA UL WIEA ND , Y-Y ..W..,..- . ,f-..-, The raucous calls of klaxons, the roar of engines and the reek of earbonized gas and oil, all these are the very breath of life to P. E. W. Second to a bicycle, with which he surely ' can make knots, the Hnpmobilc is the idol of Panl's existence. An active life of industrial work is open before him, for already he has offers from some of the leading automobile firms of the country. VVieand's favorite branch is chemistry, where he is become renowned L thruout his class because of his romantic Way ' of treating the subject. Really, by him, prosaic, dry and realistic chemistry has been transmuted into a. fairyland of revelations, strange and exciting. He is a. stieker and an unfailing I' friend in need, and, Hast heard what lVieand said? is the phrase most used in class affairs. But above all, laying aside all technical talents, his debonair and smiling ways have made Vifieand famous for his wondrous powers of fascination over the deadlier sex.
