HENRIETTA M. DeSILVA Here are sparkling eyes of jet that one cannot help but look into, but to peer too long is fearfully like looking at Medusa. Not that the eyes turn one to stone, but they breed mischief for the brazen person who would look. May the Gods have mercy on her helpless patients! AMOS HYPES The silver tongued orator of the class. He might easily have been mistaken for an instructor. His attitude is decidedly professional. MARGARET L. BAILEY If all the nurses “over there” ’Midst furious shot and shell, Were like Peg with her brown hair. The soldiers wouldn’t want to get well. Page 24

LUELLA LOHNES She has the qualities most commendable, Keen, quiet, and contented “Shorty” is a good worker in all senses of the word. GEORGE H1MMELHEBER George just loves to go to parties and visit the kitchen. Sometimes he visits the kitchen without attending the party. Anyway he says if we had a peanut slot-machine in school he could study better. CORNELIA SOLDWEDEL “Soddie” is a lover of the mistletoe season and she thinks that it is a shame that it does not last the year round. “Never a knocker, always a booster,” is her constant war cry.

WANDA MORRIS Wanda Morris, solemn and dignified in appearance but happy and carefree in disposition. Wanda has all the qualities which go to make up a Red Cross Nurse. Whatever she undertakes, she always carries out faithfully to the end. CARL EMMERLING His only bad habit was having his work in ahead of time, and his one regret was that he did not complete the course in one year instead of spreading it over three and a half. GERTRUDE DERRICK According to her friends who know her best Gertrude’s charms are so wonderful that without a doubt they could win the saints in Paradise. We do not know how near Pekin High resembles the heavenly abode, nor how many saints frequent the school, but we do know that Gertrude has never met anyone who has not been fascinated by her.
