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

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 PEK1NIAN, 9 24 WILLA ROLF SECRETARY Willa’s going to be the peppiest, go-get-it-est newspaper reporter when she starts her career. Talk about ideas—hers are from cover to cover in this book! HOMER HEISEL “Doc” is so studious that his hair turned gray. Some of the things he learned lias put a permanent wave in his hair. What won’t Nature do for her boys! PAULINE CAMPBELL “Cammie” retained that clever drawl from our class play. We tempt her just to hear her talk. If there’s something new, “Cammie has it!” GARRETT ROELFS “Balo’s” wonderful mellow voice could still the savage beast. We sit enchanted whenever he speaks. Compared to Bato’s elocution, Carttso lisped. ELIZABETH KRAEGER Elizabeth's name is much larger than her own wee self'. We hear that she’s a wonder at shorthand. Wouldn’t she make an adorable little “steno I TWENTY-THREE
