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

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 OICI H I 1921 ROBERT J. McCOLLUM Football Squad 3. Bob is a familiar sight at all school activities and at Chacona’s. He is always “game” when anything is started, not to mention the things he starts. He is a little higher than the rest of us when he is at home on Hasson Heights, but at school he is always on the level. RUTH JANE E. McMAHON. Rather nice, don’t you think? But she is hard to strike up an acquaintance with. Ruth is a girl who does not need to resort to giggling, loud “I’ll says” and the like to attract attention. Her quiet charm and rich personality do all that for her. It has never been our luck to diaw a c'ass in which she was included, worse luck and for that if nothing else, we feel neglected by kin1, fate, kind foitune, or whatever it is. PAUL O. MESSNER. Messner dearly loves to motor on the street cars, and he likes to ring the bell. When a Franklin car falls to Messner, a real honest-to-heavens interur-ban, his cup of jcy will overflow. Paul lias worked his way for the last two years, going to school too, so we think that graduation will mean something to him besides flowers, robes, and diplomas. WILLIAM FORSTER MILLER, JR. “Skin” Miller’s chief claim to high notoriety is the fact that he has the best trained hair on record. The boy’s secret was revealed one fine morning when we saw him invest his last dollar in a large bottle of Bandoline. All the same Bill is in our good graces as of yore. He is a thirty-six inch fellow—a yard wide, you know, and his friendship is worth a hundred common ones. rage Twenty-Three
