TlHE PEKINIAN, 1924 FLORENCE HOGAN Lively interpreter of terpsichorean art, “Fliss has already made a name for herself. She sits still long enough to diligently study Sometimes. ELMER TOWLE Elmer’s determination to master and comprehend everything will bear him far up the ladder of success. Our confidence goes with him.

THE PEKINIAN, 1924 GLADYS GAY If we had half the beauty Gladys has, we’d be so terribly stuck up that we wouldn't condescend to talk to the rest of us. Pshaw! Gladys doesn’t crave it! GERALD CONAGHAN Sure’n its glad we are to tell you of our “Dux.” His flashing good-natured grin has won for him a place in the hearts of all of us. ZELMA NASH elma is a dear, shy little girl who goes about minding her own business. She always takes time tho, to help one of us unfortunate ones. MELVIN GLEICH Melvin testifies that valuable goods are wrapped in small packages. We know smaller boys than Melvin, but—sit! not half as valuable. ANNA MARIE CLARK “Anne” is the opposite of her timid and demure name. Although she is the embodiment of frolic, you should hear her “philosophize.” TWENTY-SIX

THE PEK I N I AN , I 924 DOROTHY COOK Dorothy is the “gal with the winning smile.” Our “Cookie” isn’t as inactive as other cookies but we want her as she is, a live, merry, vivacious girl! IVAN ROWAN Please meet IvanI We used to pity the men on the teams who had “Zeke” to deal with• He's an all-around sport, and a mighty good one at that! ELSIE McCLANAHAN Elsie’s perpetual expression of joy has been a blessing to those about her. She is a newcomer to high school but we regard her as an “old-time friend. EDWIN McCLARENCE To say that Eddie is a likeable chap is to put it mildly. Ilis humor is refreshing, to say the least, and his sermons are uplifting and inspirational. ALTHEA BUCKLEY Our orchestra depends upon Althea's dextrous manipulation of the ivories. Whatever will they do without their snappy pianist? ENTY-EIGHT
