This t elle from the South is noted for her sweet dis- position and loving ways. She pos- sesses wonderful elocutionary powers, having proven her ability by so suc- cessfully acting the part of “Miss Liberty” in the High School pageant “America.” She always has sympathy for any one in need of it and is not overly fond of any sort of foolishness. Clara is so tender-hearted that she does all in her power to keep one from making a zero. Nor is she one whit daunted if discovered passing the much needed information. We will never forget the good turns she has done for us in days gone by. “Yes, I think so too.” NELLIE MAY ROBERTS (Nellie May) Nellie May Roberts was bom at Carbon, Illinois, December 11, 11)00. Although quiet she occasionally sur- prises you with her witty sayings and is very good at reading human nature. She takes her stand with the plump maidens of High School. She says she loves to hear the school bell ring but is never more thrilled with its musical tones than when it rings for the school’s dismissal at dinner time, which we suppose accounts for the above mentioned plumpness. “Listen Kid!” EDNA BERNREITER Edna was born at Willardsville. Ill- inois, December 19, 1898. Her ro- mantic experiences have been many. Edna's daily occupation for the past five years has been to stroll up town buy some chocolates and get a little fresh air to carry her through an afternoon of hard ( ?) study. She is very fond of reading thrilling romances, and then relating them to any poor victim who she happens to single out to tell them to. At almost any hour of the day you can see her sitting off in a corner with some com- panion and with a wrapt expression upon her face, telling them the latest love tale, while it is still fresh in her mind. We will not be surprised if Edna some day sails for sunny France, for her greatest desire is to be a Red Cross nurse. “Did you ever read Thelma?” Oh its grand! It starts out like this- etc. “Don’t look so sad kid.” Tage Ten

 DOROTHEA DAVISON (Dots, Dodo) Dot was born August 30, 1901, at O'Fallon, Illinois. This young lady is decidedly poular, especially among all the young Lochinvars. She delights to take Ion auto rides and talk over the telephone by the hour. (Its nice to be on the good side of the tele- phone operator.' Besides having a very loving disposition and a friendly smile wherever she goes, she is very good at bluffing. She and Irma are very lovable companions and when one is at a loss as to where to find her she can be found pouring out the secrets of her heart to Irma. She is also a member of the ‘‘Jolly Four acting as the name signifies. “Oh Irma don't you think so? ALBERT J. KECK (Kug) A handsome man is this A. J. Keck, bom at Oak Hill, January 4, 1900. He has been the despair of many of the belles in High School, for he has a passion for Marissa girls. Although his physics' papers are rather devoid of words, his beautiful writing gives them quite a look of superior know- ledge. He is gifted with a charming voice. If you doubt this call central some evening after seven bells. This Senior possesses much of the so-called “pep. This is roused to the high- est pitch when playing a basket-ball game his most beloved occupation. During lab. period the students at his table have been quite frequenti ' en- tertained with free lectures on love, marriage and friendship. ‘That makes it bad. “Oh now! Somewhere in France ---- “Oh boy, oh joy! IR. A S. SCHACHNER (“Honey “Schach” Irma, .formerly known to everyone as Honey, but now this pet name being cast aside for several particular reasons, was bom on October 21st, 1901, at her present home on the comer of Cherry street and South Fourth street. She has always been a very studious little girl until her Senior year, when despite the prompt- ings of her inner conscience, she cast all descretion to the winds and allowed herself to be drawn into all the mis- chief the “Jolly Four are capable of doing. Her airy step and birdlike movements are the envy of all the plump maidens in High School. Her only worry is that she must some day grow up and look, act and be old. “Oh Dot, Don't you think so? iQftGZSGZ 9ZSB SKSB iunn g Page Nine

 INEZ MANTLE (Inie) Inez, the studious twin, began life at Virden, Illinois, June 21, 1900. She has been fortunate enough to have a twin sister to whom she can confide all her woes and. joys which privilege the rest of us poor unfortunates arc denied. Inez has done her bit towards helping humanity, as she has occas- ionally been known to save a class, embarrassed for want of more know- ledge in physics, from disgrace, when everyone else seemed not to have studied the next topic. Inez and her sister are among the few' fortunate ones who have had rides in the fa- mous Henderson. “Oh sis! Where's Eunie?” They might at least let us study if they don’t want to.” LUCYNTHIA HERZING (Lu, Skinski) Lu, the tiniest Miss in the Senior Class, was born in the romantic old town of Trenton, Illinois, January 25, 1899. After residing for a time at St. Louis she came to O’Fallon and taking the High School by storm has re- mained in our midst ever since. She is a small vivacious lass w'ith breezy actions. She is also quite an English scholar and is the pride of the Senior Class in being the exhibitor of the latest Parisian fashions and modes of hair-dressing. “Aw kid! I don’t know.” EUNICE MANTLE (Eunie) Eunice Mantle was born at Virden, Illinois, June 21, 1900. That she will be a model and efficient housekeeper is certain for she is frequently seen looking at recipes in different maga- zines to find something new and good to eat to add to her store of knowledge concerning the manufacture of eats. Also her ability at sewing is the envy of all the other girls and eliminates one of the many cares that girls have, the dress-makers’ bills. She is an excellent hand at ruling, so we feel certain of her ability to carry out the aforesaid prophesied career. “Oh Sis! Where’s Inie?” “You can’t guess what we had for supper last night. I made it myself.”
