153 COMMENCEMENT NUMBER, 1014 ERNEST MARTINSON— YENS”— Here we have the captain of the “nine.” Although he does not talk very much he is a rather pleasant chap and has a stand-in with all of the fellows. “And thou art long, and lank, and brown. - NETA ROLLINS— JUANITA”— This little lady hails from Kankakee, hut, nevertheless, she isn't so worse, for we all kind of like her. As to her looks, gaze at the portrait and you will see the true Harrison Fisher type-blue eyes, flaxen hair and lovely features. Hail, blithe newcomer.” RUTH LINDGREN— Ruth has a sweet and loving character as can be seen from her expression. She not only gets her own lessons, but, generous-like” gets them for others as well. She is an accomplished musician and a good, reliable old senior. So gentle and so kind.” WALTER LARSON— NOSEY — A witty little chap with a falsetto voice. Can you imagine this dignified and distinguished looking fellow making hay? Neverthelesss, he informs us that this is his destiny. One monumental heap of sinplicity and good humor.

PAXTON HIGH SCHOOL REFLECTOR HERBERT SWANSON—“HUB — Even now we can hear our honorable president sawing wood in the massive pine forests of Michigan. We can see his chest heaving with the manual labor and his eyes glowing with the love of nature. Away from the temptations of the cruel world, we know that “Hub” is not in the least distressed from lack ol companionship. “A pleasant smile, a winning way But never very much to say.” MIRIAM ROCKWELL-’TOODLES”— What a shame that such a promising young songster should throw away her talents on a farm near Piper. But, beins as” he has an autermobeel Miriam may be able to continue her voice culture in her home town and occasionally visit her old friends. “She moves, a goddess; and looks, a queen.” FLORENCE CRUZEN—“GINGER” — Here we have our little Jester. A typical Irish maiden with all the ardor and glow of life. However, the picture here shown does not do justice to the brilliance of her crowning feature. “Ginger” is one of our best critics and enthusiasts of “Art.” “As merry as the day is long.” CARL FAGERBURG— COLLIE”— Behold, the clever cartoonist of the Senior Class. Note the intellectual brow, the deep set eyes and the prominent chin. Carl is not omy a clever cartoonist, but he is also business manager of The Reflector, and that is “sum” responsibility, too. “A calm of thought is on bis brow.”
