26 THE OIL CAN 1925 EDWIN SHIELDS Eddie. Basketball 2, 3, 4. Track 3. 4. Cupid’s first assistant has nothing on Eddie and his Date Agency. Eddie didn’t want to be selfish with his love for the girls so he established the renowned “Shields Date Agency” where many have obtained such service as only the experienced can render. JAMES SMITH Jimmy. Smith may be a common name, but here’s one Smith that isn’t. In fact James is one of the biggest little Seniors of '25. With all his knowledge, his generous grin, and pleasing manner, there will be no stopping his advance after he leaves us. ROSS SMITH Smitty. Junior Social Committee Color Committee Senior Play Committee Secretary A. A. Junior Picnic Committee We had Ross all written up very nicely, we thought, when along comes Ross and shatters our dreams by kicking most vigorously. Therefore, you must regard the picture opposite, and draw your own conclusions. ERNEST STACK An earnest student, as his name implies. Verily, he is a big, little man. Good fortune will smile on him, we are sure. ARLENE STANFORD “What are you doing, my pretty maid?” “I’m studying my lesson, Sir,” she said. And this is Arlene, who has a low and pleasant voice, ever a pleasing thing in woman.

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.

1925 THE OIL CAN 27 WILLIAM HIBBARD Golly! but weren't we lucky to have Bill in our class? We hope that he is as glad as we are to be in the Class of '25. Here’s luck to you. Bill. JAMES HOLDER Jimmie. Football 4. Our class certainly does abound in Jameses. To some folks this Jimmie appears shy and retiring, but not to those who know him, the football ''Scrubs” for instance. Jimmie is right there with the fight and though he says he never takes hard subjects we notice he passes them all. MARGARET KANE Such boundless riches in such little room.” We imagine that Margaret imagines that everyone imagines that she does not have an imagination. Please don't ask for an explanation. Anyway she is a Utopian idealist! LESTER KARNS Speak up, Lester, and 'spress yourself. He really should do this, for we don't know Lester's opinion on many subjects except Shorthand, which he just adores, we know. HAZEL KEVERLINE Hazel is one of our ambitious girls who believes in preparedness in her studies. We don’t believe she cares much for men.
