JUNE THE OICI HI 1921 FLORENCE ELIZABETH RIDER. Florence is truly a good example of a person with a “skin you love to touch.” For lovely, peach blossom complexions, we have yet to see a better. And we will wager that it would not come off on one’s coat lapel, either. She is extremely quiet, though, find this added to her good looks, makes her doubly charming. HOWARD A. ROSE. “Rosie,” as we are going to nickname him, is a l ig IToosier. Next to Mr. Bacon he is the longest .me in the school. He could get away with almost anything in classes, and when he got up to recite in Miss Frank’s room, he was greeted with an overture of appreciative guffaws before he started; im I to put him at his ease and encourage him to further deeds of valor. We think that this is a gilt. II we had it, vau '.eville would soon have us in its midst. CLYDE W. ROSS Clyde comes from West Hickory, that town up the river where they build barges. Clyde is a sturdy craft, too. When the sailing is a little rough he just smiles and keeps on pulling. We’ll pull for him, too, every time we get a chance. HILDA RUDY. Hilda is quie and unassuming, but you know the old saying: “Still water runs deep.” If you don’t believe it, ask him. Page Twenty-Seven

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

JUNE TH E O I C I HI 1921 VESTA RUSSELL The “always ready to help a friend” girl. She always seenis to have the very thing you’re looking for, whether it be an eraser or a topic for English Oral, and the nicest part of it all is the smile with which she gives it to you. MARY RUSSO Mary is very sweet and loveable. Everybody likes her because she is what she is. One of the unusual things about Mary is that she likes everybody and everything. Is it any wonder that she always passes through a “Lane of Smiles.” LUCILLE ELMIRE SANDROCK. Lucille has no reason to fear the teachers; but she studies hard anyway. When people study just because they like to they usually have their lessons. Lucille is good-natured and always ready to lend a helping hand and we all like her because we can’t help it. WILLARD RAKER SAY Secretary O. C. H. S. A. A. 4. “Bus” stands six feet, two inches, and never sits. He says that is why he grew so far. If “Bus” would smile much broader than he usually does his ears would have to be moved back, but most of the time he smiles out loud in a hearty laugh. He can be quite serious, though, and has given a lot of earnest effort to the school and class, as well as to his studies. 1’age Twenty-Eight
