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

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 O I C I H I 1921 JAMES WILSON LEE Assistant Editor of OiCiHi 4. The editor’s right hand man, also his left. When anyone wanted J. Wilson to do anything, he always stopped and “speeled” all the things he already had to do, but he usually did what he was asked. A lot of his “business” seems to have been attending Sunday School Conferences. Knowing Willie we suspect that the girls at the conferences had something to do with that. Personally, we think that he could get away with anything. He says he is going to get away with some more education for he admits that there might be a little more he could learn. PAUL V. LEYDA Student Treasurer O. C. H. S. A. A. 4. This good natured giant cats work. He carried six subjects last year besides being “in” a lot more activities than is shown above. He helped on the OiCiHi, although he was not on the staff, selling it, contributing and getting ads. He is six foot two inches after he has had a hair cut and has a good disposition, lots of friends, and a girl in Kane. RUTH LEYDA. Ruth is another one of the kinda shy ones, but if you ever watched her closely you could have seen her work her eyes. Oh, My-------! Also kinda athletic cause she plays basketball a little. RICHARD ISEMAN MAHLE. “Say, who is that bright-looking chap over therel” we heard one of the teachers ask the day school started. “Oh, that’s Mahle, Richard Mahle.” Before the year was over, the “prof” had occasion to wonder if Mahle wasn’t a little too bright. He is a good sort, however, and his bright and smiling face will be missed when the “gang” collects on the church steps to talk about the weather. Page Twenty-Two
