1 THE PEKINIAN, 1924 LAURA HUDSON “Huddie” spurns the Daily Dozen, because she was smiled upon by Providence itself. Poets would say that she is “fashioned so slenderly.' LOUIS HARMEL Louis is our own John Barrymore. Comparing the actor to Louie, John takes on the ooks of our good friend Barney Google. We’re proud of this leader. MARION KOCII What about Marion? We call her a loyal backer of the school, a universal friend, a dandy pal, and best of all, a good dancer. CLAUDE SMITH We’re proud of our sleek, tan, muscular Hiawatha. He fascinates us with his ability to be our “Smitty” always. We admire this team-boy for his straightforwardness. BEULAH CONLEE “Bill” is full of new ideas and sometimes she has nerve enough to execute some of them. We have to let Iter take Iter own sweet time about it, tho. TWENTY-ONE

THE PEKI N I AN, 1924 ADELAIDE HANCOCK Adelaide was ideal on “eats” committees. She knew what we wanted to eat, and when we wanted to eat it. From the depths of our hearts we say there should be more like her. DAN JURGENS Daniel” suddenly blossomed forth as a ladies' man. Perhaps his fatherly smile and stern dignity had something to do with it. ADELAIDE HEGGLUND When Adelaide sits by a window the light on her lovely Titian hair is coppery. Although she has artistic temperament, her good nature prevails. LOUIS GINTI-IER “Louie” has a way about him that simply makes you like him whether you want to or not. We are glad to say that it hasn’t been compulsory on our part. DOROTHY GRIESSER Dorothy doesn’t cling to any special clique. The Senior class is her “bunch,” and we all depend on her, claim her, and like her. TWENTY-TWO
