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

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 O I C I HI 1921 MARY ELIZABETH FARLIN. “She’s little, but Oh, My!” Betty used to have the prettiest curly hair and the prettiest red cheeks, natural too. Lately she has her hair up on her head and over her ears, you know, like the rest of the girls. But she still has the prettiest red cheeks, still natural. She has taken part in several amateur plays and acts natural, too. MARGARET FEELY. Junior Prom Committee 3. “Pep;” has a quiet dignity which has won for her the appelation, “Peg, the lady.” But once under this exterior you will find she is an all ’round good scout. NELLIE NAOMI FERRAN. Nellie is rather quiet, but she can make a lot of, we were going to say noise, but we mean music, on a piano or bass viol. She will probably stay here to play in the Roess orchestra, for she seems to be as sat'sfied with the job as Louis appears to be interested in his pianist. GEORGE W. FINNECY. It is said that the ability to tell a joke goes with red hair. Besides that George is Irish. As long ago as our Freshman year we can remember George having friendly visits to Mr. Baum’s office for letting his good nature overflow in a “quiet” class room. A good scout whom we’re glad to call a friend. I’ape Sixteen
