JUNE THE O I CI H I 1921 GLADYS ISABELLE BILTZ. “Oh1 She will sing the savageness out of a bear.” —Shakespeare. Yea. And it might be said that she sang the savageness out of a fox at the Senior picnic; anyway, she captured him. Also ’tis Gladys who puts I he glee in the Glee Club every Wednesday afternoon. When Gladys sings, we feel thrills of real pleasure surging through us. The mystery is how does she escape Edison with his tone tests and Victor with her true to life slogans? We really appreciate her voice, and we have great confidence in her future. X ELIZABETH KATHRYN CAMPBELL. Elizabeth has a sly, vampish glance that is sure to attract one’s attention but it is guileless, for she is a quiet demure lass. We never heard of Elizabeth late or without a lesson and the faculty will miss her next year while she is putting her knowledge of bookkeeping into practice. GEORGE A. CHACONA. Basketball ’18-’19, ’19-20, Captain ’20-’21. Football ’18, ’19, ’20. “Chick” leaves 0. C. H. S. as the captain of the greatest basketball team that the school has yet produced. His leadership had much to do with the team’s success and should have much to do with his y HAZEL MAY CHRISTY, Did you ever hear Hazel translate French? She can do it. The only trouble is the fact that +he rest of the class needs a megaphone—er ear trumpet, when she begins. She has a quiet dignity about her which is rarely seen m High school, and is always a real lady. Page Eleven

JUNE THE O I C I H I 1921 HAROLD EDWARD BALSIGER. “Bally,” like Fox, has (or rather had) two claims on Fame, his pompadour and his quiet, unassuming nature. Now, due to the activities of the Juniors he has only the scccn claim. In our opinion that one will suffice. RUTH WILMA BARTLETT. “How pretty her blushing was, and how she blushed again.” Add to that a lot of winsome little gestures, a pleasant smile and lots of fun and you have Ruth. She once confided to us that she was going to establish a Home for Maiden Ladies. An example of her kindliness, for you may be sure you will not find Ruth there. BERTHA ANNA BASHOR. That is the name that was on a model bookeeping sheet at the frcnt of the bookkeeping room. This rival of Professor Bacon has done equally good work in all departments and has often lent a hand to less gifted or perhaps less industrious students. RUBY ADELINE BEIGHLEY. “Wherefore those faint smiles of thine, shadowy, dreamy, Adeline.”—Tennyson. They were lucky enough to have “shadowy, dreamy, Adelines” even back in Tennyson’s day. But don’t be mislead. There has been nothing shadowy about Adeline’s career in High school and her marks show that she has been doing something besides dreaming. Page Ten

JUNE THE OICIHI 1921 VIOLA PHILENA CLARK. Viola lives in Rouseville and has only gone to school here a year. We have known her just well enough to want to know her better, for Viola is modest and wouldn’t tell us she was a fine girl, we had to find it out for ourselves. MARY A. COHEN. Mary is a real jolly independent girl, naughty to the point of playing “hooky” on a nice day. It wasn’t necessary this spring for Mary added up her points at mid-term and found she already had sixteen. MARY J. COHEN “The Other Mary” Mary is one of the best-liked girls in the class. She has just enough pep and just enough reserve to be just right and oh how she can dance. HELEN VIRGINIA COLE. The only thing we don’t like about Helen is “Bud.” lie is a nuisance. But outside of that, and, of course, a few other little things, Helen is a good scout. She looks intelligent, time does not pass slowly when one :s with her and the best thing about her is her al-way—present good humor and pleasant nature. Page Twelve
