RAVELIN 'S RAYMOND FRANCIS PORTER Hziply He dances like an angel. Zip is the most happy-go-lucky boy in high school. With a smile each morning and a, smile each night for anyone, we d0n't wonder that the girls all like him. He surely never takes studies VGYY SeI'i011Sly, but the Commercial Club is going to miss him at its tea dances. He won't be a bookkeeping teacher but we wouldn't be surprised to see him leading a jazz orchestra. With the great ability of making friends and being popular, he is bound to succeed. We don't know what his future plans are, but we all Wish him the best o' luck. Activities: Baseball 1, 2, 45 Basketball 1, 23 Commercial Club 3, 43 Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4.

SOPHIA NESTA Sophie To be beloved is above all bargains. Who can deny that our dear friend Sophie is one of the most friendly girls in High School? Always conscientious at her school workg yet she finds time to sympathize with a troubled schoolmate. Sophie is ever accompanied by her infectious grin or musical little giggle. We hope our bashful friend is not going to waste that wonderful talent she has for writing poems. Why, she might be even a second Burns or Tennyson. The poem she wrote about the Commercial Club Tree will not be forgotten. Yes, it sounds just like Sophie when she says she would like to obtain a position, and just hates to be separated from school friends. We hate to be separated from you, Sophie.

RAVELIN 'S GORDON HARVEY SHORTSLEEVES Shorty A lion among the ladies is a most dreadful thing. Shorty is a great fellow, very generous and good hearted. He never allows any girls to walk home if he has his car. He may be found many times during the day, teasing the girls till they get so angry that they almost cry. Shorty does it all in fun. He cannot be kept down for if he cannot do a certain thing, he takes a round about way until it is accomplished. You can't find a better fellow in town than Shorty because of his good company and generosity.

GEORGE SIBLEY Susie A man of strife and a man of contention. Boy, or boy, oh boy, can Susie argue. Ask any one in com- mercial law or bookkeeping. He isn't on that honor roll for nothing. We really think that the main reason for this is to sit in the presi- dent's cabinet some day. He's a good old pal, though. We hope his desire to be Ben Bernie's assistant will some day come true, for when vou hear his bum-bum-ba-dum-dum you know it's Susie, Here's luck.
