JUNE THE OICIHI 1921 FLORENCE HORNER Florence used to be rather shy. We said USED to be, but that was before Albert happened along, and now,—oh, well, you know. ELEANOR I. HOY. I overheard this conversation in Senior Hi last year. Soph to Senior: “Who is Eleanor Hoy?” Senior: “Why, she’s the senior girl with the pretty light curly hair.” We agree thoroughly with that Senior. And we also are agreed that Eleanor is one dandy good scout. CHARLES BURKE HULL. It is indeed refreshing to look at such a clean looking chap as Hull. They are quite rare. One look at his clear, honest face gives one a renewed inil.li in mankind. Even his best friends do not know when this son of Virtue has his Sunday night dates, although quite sure he has them. So, Burke would be a good fellow to confide secrets to. REBECCA AVERY JAMES. Let me introduce to you one of the bright lights, in other words stars, of our class. Avery’s histronic ability was revealed to O. C. H. S. when she took the part of Mrs. Ralston, Bill Fountain’s temperamental wife, in “Nothing But the Truth.” To say Nothing But the Truth, Ave. certainly is some actress. We predict a Broadway success for her in the near future. Page Twenty

JUNE THE OICIHI 1921 CECILE MARY ANN HARTSELL. Cecile has been with us all along and is a good sport. During Junior Hi days she was noted for climbing the ropes clear to the ceiling. Now she is note I for being quiet; she only giggles and talks when it is necessary, but—she judges when it is necessary. She plans to be an instructor of youth. WILLIAM C. HEIN. Football ’18-’19,-’20. A. A. Constitution Revision Committee. Class Historian. “Pete” is one of those deep-flowing guys. Still waters, in other words. But, when he is moved to make remarks, they are worth hearing. He is a clever roller of the “bones” pulled in the postoffice by the “dumb public,” and he car. make his listeners rock with laughter. As a good friend and a depen iable one, Pete is there. MYRA MERCEDES HIRST. Myra, although her middle name recalls the dashing brunettes of Spain, is a very distinct blonde, resembling more a Viking maid. Maybe, Myra is Spanish, but we don’t believe it. We suspect that her name will undergo a litt'e changing next year sometime. N’est-ce pas. Myra? WILLIAM B. HOLT. Holt is sure to make a good city father. Whenever anyone gets up in English oral and attacks the garbage disposal system, he objects, showing how much worse it would be if there were no system at all. If he is not a councilman, a street commissioner, or a mayor before he is one hundred years of age, lie never will be. His excellent work on the business staff of the OiCiHi is commendable indeed.

JUNE TH E O I C I HI 1921 ESTHER KALTENBAUGH. Esther has the nicest grin of anyone we know of, and the best of it is that it is always in evidence. RITA CHARLOTTE KAUFMANN. Basketball 2, 3, 4. Class Prophetess. Once upon a time, Rita’s brother told her about the scientific discovery that if a guinea-pig is picked t:p by the tail, its eyes drop out. Ever since, Rita has been looking for a guinea-pig with a tail. Her ambitious quest is not yet ended, and yet she has remained sweet, good-natured and charming through it all. As we have sa'd before—“If there were only a few more girls like Rita—.” X RHEA JOSEPHINE KENNEDY. It is hard for some people to keep Rhea separated from Rita in their minds. The names are confusing, and most any High school fellow can tell you what a queer sensation it gives to call one of them on the ’phone and then find that you have asked for the wrong one. What we like about Rhea is her red—pardon—auburn hair, her smile, and her voice. The thing we don’t like about her is—well, darn it, guess for yourself. CATHERINE LORAINE KRUG. Loraine is one of the few B. B. players among the girJs of '21 class. Remember last year when the Juniors played the Seniors as a prelim to a Franklin game? The Seniors beat us by one point, alas! but Loraine did her bit. She made all our points, ten hi all, by her wonderful foul shooting. Page Twenty-One
