JUNE THE O I C I H I 1921 EUGENE M. CROUCH. “Gene,” once he entered the portals of the French Syndicate, became a student of more than passing notice, and he was at once popular with his teachers. His curly hair, his genial nature, and his ready smile made him popular with his classmates. And so we find him at graduation popular with all. ISABELLA MARIE CROW. Like her feathered friends of the same name, Isabella hails from the country, and whatever success may be, she will get there as fast and as straight as a crow flies. If the cowds don’t understand your French, Isabella, don’t waste time on them, but if you ever have a puncture, when coming in to see us, by all means say it in French. VICTORIA DAVIS. Vicky must be descended from the goddesses of yore, for has she not the same glorious copper-red curls that we read about in Virgil? Pei haps that is why she is always so lucky where lessons are concerned Entr turn , though, I imagine that luck of hers begins with a W instead of L, and is sprit W-O-R-K. MARY DECIIANT. Mary is another one of our red—beg your pardon— I mean auburn-haired lassies. She -s very winsome and good-tempered for all that, and has never displayed that ferocious temper generally supposed to accompany—ahem!—aubui n locks. 1‘nge fourteen

JUNE THE OICIHI 1921 LOUISE CONRAD. Louise is in that enviable position of having been proposed to and having turned away at least one male of the species. Whether or not she uses the “yes” and later “no” method, or whether she turns them down immediately, we do not know. We predict that Louise will easily make it a dozen if she sets her heart upon it. MARIE FRANCES COURTNEY. On writing up the Seniors we find that they are all more or less good-natured, but Marie is one of the “mores.” It is so evident and ever present that lver classmates call her “Smiles.” We found out once that Marie is very frank, a quality which is growing rarer every day. Besides that, Marie writes poetry and we think she is susceptible to that other disease that comes in the spring. JEANNETTE CRAIN. Jeannette has only been with us a year, having come from Utica. She is cheerful at school, despite the fact that she must ride on the Erie twice a day. We are glad Jeannette did not get off at the mouth of French Creek, but that it was worth the extra eighteen miles ride to get her diploma from O. C. H. S. JANE CHI BBS. She is one of the sort that does not nee:! to attract attention—she is noticed without any effort on her part. Jane gave us a good time at the first Athletic Association party and she has stood well with the school since. She learns, but does not air her learning. •2S rafie Thirteen

JUNE THE O I C I H I 1921 HELEN ECKMEDER. Enter—the twins. This is Helen, or is it Mildred? No; it is Helen. Helen combs her hair differently from Mildred or else I might be still pondering the question. As you can see from the picture, she’s a dear. MILDRED ECKMEDER. And so is her twin. During the last two years Mildred’s executive ability has been of great service to her class. She has served on several committees. WINIFRED EMMA EGBERT. Winnie couldn’t seem to make ends meet, so she bobbed her hair. It attracted attention. On the day of St. Pat, she wore orange stockings. When asked whether it was a hostile demonstration she said: ‘ Ob, not at all. It is ‘Rit.’” Winifred is little, but as the wags are wont to say, “Oh, my!” JAMES W. ESENWEIN. Junior Prom Committee 3. OiCilli Staff 4. “Essey” should have been made the class optimist. He worked on the OiCiHi a year without losing his optimism, his smile, and his ‘ Oh, that’s all right.” He is something of a musician, can handle a “line” and is always ready to entertain a crowd or just one. He thinks the Citizens Traction Co. could not get along without him and he sure can steer the cars. Page Fifteen
