JUNE THE O I Cl H I 1921 PAUL PAINTER. Paul has never said much around us—probably knew that we were going to “do” him for the OiCiili »' d didn’t want to help us, so we scarcely know what to say about him. Anyway, we have a little “dope” on him. He likes to shoot pool, smoke, go hiking, and indulges in other nature lover’s antics, lie is a quiet, unassuming fellow, and we like him a lot. NELLIE ELIZABETH PALM. This little “mite” has a little voice, she finished a III tie socner than most of us—at mid-term, and lie is a little bashful. The girls all liked her and I l;e fellows—w 11, a few of them were lucky and tiny knew it. She was little, but was as big a part I I lie class as any. MARY ELIZABETH POLLARD “Nothing But The Truth,” Glee Club pianist. “Dick” is a real girl, snappy, clever, intelligent, and lots of fun. She can “tickle the ivories” in a manner that is truly enviable, and she can smile. As a “vamp” in the Athletic Association’s play, she vas a revelation. Aside from being an actress an.l pianiste, of note, she can write well enough to win firsts in essay contests. Well, as we said before, she is a real, honest to goodness girl. FLORENCE PORTER Move familiarly known as Pif. Pf is the pepp:rrt kid :n the bunch. She can make a rhyme about anything at any time or any place. When Pif’s in the party, you’re sure of a good time.

JUNE THE O ICI H I 1921 MARGARET KATHRYN MORGAN. “Mag showed the boys” how an ankle watch should bo worn when she was in “Nothing But the Truth.” We have b en wondering ever since, who had the job of adjusting it. Margaret confides in us that she has “hopes” of getting married. So ends our tale. DOROTHY IRENE MEYERS. S meono has to maintain the school’s record in : cholai hip as well as in athletics. This Dorothy has done for us for four years. She lik d English better than anything else and we did like to hear her give these interesting “orals” on Thursday's. While she didn’t reform evcjyone in school, perhaps her efforts v.ere not entirely wasted. CECELIA ELIZABETH NICHOLS Cecelia is a remarkable girl. In the first p'ace she is the champion left-hander of the class. She is a much better penman than most cf us who wilte with our right hand. In the second place she’s a fine housekeeper, I’ve heard. That ought to help “someone decide for her.” GEORGE AUGUSTUS OLMES. At the sign of “Ye Jolly Tailor,” we have often found George and be expects to be there for some time. He says that he and brother “Majc” are go-irg to expand the business, not the chest, so that it includes ladies’ tailoring as well as the particular man’s. Ever since this announcement George has bee n so busily engaged in turning away would-be tape-line swingers that he hasn’t any t’mo to draw those seductive squawks out of h’s clarinet. George could talk a blind man into thinking that be was seeing things, so we feel sure that he will be able to persuad the old girls that they still have a wonderful figure. I’age Twenty-Four

JUNE THE O I C I H I 1921 VIOLA A. PORTER. Viola is little, but she’s not lacking in “pep.” She is of the “eternal feminine” kind. Her blue eyes are always twinkling with fun and when we’re with her—“Ain’t we got fun?” NORMAN TRAISTER REARDON Football squad 3, Varsity 4, OiCiHi Staff 4. “Norm” wrote his Senior theme on “Things I have Learned Outside of School this Year.” But he didn’t tell all. For instance, he did not confess that not so very many moons ago he blushed very prettily whenever one of the “young dears” looked at him. Since then lie has taken the Franklin, Night Walkers’ and Affaire d’Amour degrees in fussing. He also learned to write and if you ever caught yourself smiling over (not laughing at) anything in the OiCiHi, it was probably something of “Norm’s” you were reading. Add to that the things he confessed he learned outside of school and the things he learned in school and he is really not uneducated. GEORGE LUNDY REID. Reid has the distinction of going through school without ever having a nick-name tacked on him. What he gets at Culver will never be known, but we still call him George. He is quite a musician, and “oft on the stilly eve” sound George’s chimes at Christ church. A good hearted, pleasant spoken giant, George is always a true friend and jovial chum. ALMA JOHANNA REMUS. We never suspected Alma of being a social light, but when we were in a sleighing party of which she was a member, she showed as much “pep” as anyone there, and she had a fine time. She has beautiful red hair, and we have decided I hat this accounts for it. Page Twenty-Six
