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

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 1921 THE OICIHI EDWIN JUDSON SCHRUERS Assistant Editor OiCiHi 3, Editor-in-Chief 4, Class Secretary-Treasurer. Edwin entered school with the idea of seeing how much knowledge he could absorb. He proved to be a regular sponge. His industry won him a job on the OiCiHi and his honesty as keeper of the class treasury. As editor of the OiCiHi he has piloted it through its second year and made it a permanent publication. By the time he was a Senior he had learned that there were a lot of things to learn not found in books. Again he proved to be a sponge. Draw aside the curtain and behold our Edwin dancing and handing some young dear “an awful line.” Never again despite his portfolio and sarcasm will the girls be “afraid to look at him” for he’s only a man and has a man’s weakness. GEORGE E. SHIVELY. George has a winning way with the tender young dears. He admits it. So do they. He has an engaging smile, a pleasing way of us'ng it, and his hair is “too cute for anything.” What more should or.e ycung man expect of Fate? Well, we’ll hazard, a certain meal ticket and a few more little things like that would come in handy, but a young fellow of George’s perspicacity is sure to get them. ROBERT McGREW SIMPSON. Our id.ea of a combined adding machine, French and Latin lexicon, automatic pencil sharpener used to be “Bob” Simpson. But after he had written out one French comp, several times, he took on a different aspect. Why, he is quite human. On top of all that, he says that he was never “caught” smoking by his folks, although everyone else knows him for a human hump hound. His only other dissipation is straying up to the medicine chest and fondly gazing at a bottle which he thinks contains X. X. X. ROBERT BOAL SMITH. “Smithy” claims that he will never need to be afraid of losing his job at Seep’s, for he is a trade drawer.” Why, I have known girls to come back as often as three times, just to buy things from me. I am useful, too, as well as ornamental.” He is safely lined up as far as work is concerned, and a fellow who ca.i draw a 100 per cent, in one of Miss Ward’s “trig” class, will never have to hire an accountant, that is certain.
