24 THE OIL CAN 1925 JOHN HARMON Jack. Football. I. 2. 3. 4. Varsity 2, 3. 4. Basketball 1.2,3. 4. John is a bit absent-minded, but we can excuse him for that though, because one must think of her” part of the time, at least. IOLA HAYES Although Iota's hair is straight. Were very sure she'll get a mate. And quite soon too. from what we hear. Nevertheless, we're glad she stayed with us, and wish her success in everything. CLIFFORD HEALD Cliff. Cliff is a mighty earnest conscientious student whose friends are as numerous as his acquaintances. He is the sort of easygoing chap whom we admire because of his favor among the teachers. DOROTHY HEATH Dot. Dorothy is a tiny little girl with golden hair and a sunny smile. Her demure appearance doesn't really mean a thing, which you will find out when you know her better. Ask Jimmie! RONALD HEATH Here is a man who would make a good stateman? He is a good student, but he doesn't tell everybody about it. He doesn’t say much about women, either.

1925 THE OIL CAN 23 ELIZABETH GOURLEY Betty. This one is voted the best looker in High School. Everyone thinks of “Keep that Schoolgirl Complexion when they see Betty. She has very curly hair. Let everyone know thatl Also that it has always been curly and always will be. RUTH GRAHAM Pokey. No matter how often you see Ruth, the more you see her the better you like her. When you try to understand her, she’s just like solid geometry. TILLIE GRANT Till. Becky, come to Papa.” “Yes, Pa.” So quothe Tillie innumerable times during the time she was practicing for the play. Ever since we don’t see how she finds time to get her work done, she is so busy. But Tillie is a good girl, and we are sure that her father never thunders, Becky, come to Papa.” EVA GRIFFITH Evy. Color Committee Treasurer Hi-Tri Banquet Committee Didn’t Eva Jane have a terrible time getting the teachers to call her Eva Jane instead of Eva Emily? Behold, one of our brightest lights in Miss Love’s English class and Miss Vail’s French class. She might be late in getting there, but she surely makes up for lost time when she arrives. ISABEL GRIFFITH Here is one who never says much but the teachers can always count on her work being done, which is a whole lot more than we can say for the rest of us. Isabel hails from Seneca, which from the specimen must bring up their children to be industrious and law-abiding.

THE OIL CAN 1925 25 RALPH WILLIS They do say that he who is always late never catches up, but then again they say 'tis better late than never, so you’re all right, Ralph, so long as you remember both together. GERTRUDE BATES Gert Here’s one of our girls who combines looks, clothes, and studiousness all in one—how she does it we don't know. But she is a loyal classmate as we know from the way she joins in the activities of the class. EMMA BECHTEL Another one of our class who can be put among the star pupils. In English she is good, in French she is better, and in Chemistry she is be3t. Another onejof our ’25’s who is right there. HAROLD BENNER Harold is very clever at joshing the young ladies along. He possesses an “Age of Innocence” expression and is very fond of Problems of Democracy—especially from Miss Thurston. EARL BENNINGER Shiek. Some one once said that the influences of environment cannot be overcome. Here, though, is Earl, one of the best and jolliest scouts we know, despite his red hair, and the fact that he comes from Seneca.
