H. JOSEPHINE KOPENHAVER Academic I Josie f'Those true eyes Too pure and too honest in aught to disguise ' The sweet soul shining through them This modest young lady came to us from Gherryville four years ago. But not until her Junior year did someintluence radiating from the upper class so completely change her that it became a pleasure to come to school and the monotony of riding on a train slowly disappeared. Josephine is one of the brightest girls in the class. She is the linguist of the classy her future is replete with bright possibilities. She has been a very faithful and obedient student. While her favorite studies are the languages she has struggled and persevered through mathematics with a tenacity which was admirable. Aside from her studies her chief occupation is watching for the mail man a11d cultivating her garden. She has been as successful a gardner as a student. Josie raised onions as big as apples and 1-ultivated flowers as fragrant as the most expensive perfume. Josephine is going to Hood College with Edith Where she will be a, shining light and from which college we are sure will be graduated with honors. The class of 1923 wishes her a bright future and will not be surprised to see her as a professor i11 one of the large colleges of the coun try. GEORGE CARON RIZNER Academic I Wlclcief' lc-kie is one of the best stand-lays of the class. Although he left us for Connecticut in his second year he returned again in 1922. He says he cou1dn't stand the clean climate? He always turns up where you least expect him and pops some dandy answers in chemistry when the rest are stumped. He loves his languages espec- ially French and has a weakness for Trig. Ickie has a very sweet tooth and sold? about fifteen boxes of candy for us. We have never seen him accompanying the gentler sex but we may be fooled. You know how 'tis. He is an excellent sprinter as was shown in the 1922 Field Day exer- cises. Keep on sprintin' Ickie.

GEORGE LEON KOCH General ,KochAie,' HH1: norm' flu-nked mul he 'never lied I reckon he never Icviowofl how? This bright, rosy-1-heeked, little fellow c-omes from Howertown. I-Ie was rather fortunate. as the cement pike made it a pleasure for him to ride to svhool in his flivver. George thinks a lot but says little- in other words quiet, but, Oh My! He was very shy in his Freshman year, but sinre then he has changed a good bit. Although net the brightest ill the L-lass, George knows scimltitic' fa1'1x1i11g and also how to water the milk. By the trio, he was for a long time renowned as a hero in room 18. He showed his spirit, in taking part in Basket- ball Teams and on Field Day, and says he still has a lot of spirit left. George intends to be:-ome a l'll0C'hil1llC and the whole class wishes him suceess. AMPTENNIAN, '23 ' ERMA RUTH MILLER Hello! Bobby !-Erma of the 'sparkling eyes and ebony hair. Give her a man to talk to and she will be satistied. She's some slim-k talker and won second prize in the orator- ical contest by saying '5Y0ll,1'G a ripper, you are . Besides she is the swellest dresser of the class and belongs to the Inseparable Three. Erma is a very good actress too. Martha in Step Lively was some de- mure, little maiden-not so? Erma's favor- ite haunt is church and we c-au't blame her --so mm-11. She is one of the gang that makes life hard for the luncheon room g.rnard.ians. Erma has taken the l'0ll'll'IlGl'i'i2l1 1-nurse and is quite a wizard at the keys. Twcnfy Stix

PAUL THOMAS General Tommie IRENE G. BENVENUTI Connnercial Irene Irene is the grey-eyed lass thut's always shining in our class. Irene and Mildred can rarely be told apart but-we are speak- ing of Ire11e. Tall and blonde she can often be seen walking the hulls with typewritten sheets in her hand. She and her sister are very faithful to our class and IIIXVIIYS do their bit. They are the only sisters in the class and at n glance you would think they were twins. They both expect to become typists. And then he bears witlwut abuse, The grand old name of gG7I,flG'l7lCM1f, Here it is. Look at it sideways and get n Wonderful View of Freckles. Some had men carry lead ill their backs but this husky basketball guard carries 21 scar under his eye. He is very proud of his scar :ts he Won the guine with il cracked cheek. Tonnny was very active the lirst three years, but the last year he got into had company, the Senior Trio, and with the others kept High School from being an, dull place. Tommy took part in the Inter-Class Debate, i. e. outside. If none of the Senior debators had any points Cas the Juniors sayj the Senior Trio had thein outside after the show. Tonnny likes to ride ill a tlivver, usually Gougher's, Kochie's, or Sh001ll2lkQl'!S -and they usually run their rnces in the school room. Paul was n good chemist always playing with the wash bottle. He never took any notice of girls until his Senior year. Oh, Boy! Come and Ce- Menton. ADIPTENNIAN, '23 T wcuty E-ight
