v' l LORNA DRESSER Lorna has literally danced her way through High School, stop- ping here and there to add her name to a ninety list or to ac- quire another oflice. Has been generally characterized in all annuals as a flirt, but all who know her realize that this is a mistake. An energetic class worker, whose work might easily be seen by a review of past entertainments. MARviN ERB A good consistent worker, more firm in character than the rock of Gibraltar and as reliable as you can find. He never likes to volunteer to Work, but if hard pressed Will do so. Experience has proved this. He has in him the stuif that men are made of and has high hopes along this line which we hope to see grati- fled. GLADYS FAUST Gwladyss is a worthy rep- resentative of the class in all its qualities tgood or badl. The luckiest person in school, for she is never known to study. Why the mere sight of a book might--might-well, words can't truthtully express the result. Though it may be tragedy to read her name, she abounds in mirthful humor and such a thought as tragedy, even Ham- let, is far from her mind. NELLIE FISCHER Needless to say, she inherits her father's musical ability. Coupled to this she has the re- markable faculty of usually say- lngthe wrong thing at the right time, being in this way a great help to the Annual: Nellie help- ed make the Senior circus the success that it was.

' ii GUTHRIE CARR His Very name implies his abilities as a chauffeur. Girls, it will pay to be nice to him, especially for the coming sum- mer. Guthrie has had a hard time convincing the teachers that he really could read Latin, but at last has conquered. He is a strong adherent to our class motto as a result. MARY COCHRAN Since Mary is very easily of- fended, we must exercise great care in writing this sketch. However, she has proved a faithful worker, showing great zeal when the Bill comes round. Mary worked up a nice trade as photographer at the Senior circus and we are sorry to see that she has given this up to become a milkrnaid. EUGENE CORRELL Eugene is the Senior rail- roaderf' In practice he always railroads through his classes, even permitting himself to be sidetracked once in a while. 'Gene couldn't play baseball this year so the authorities decided not tc have a team. Mr. Mohler and he have been running a close race to see how few hair- cuts are necessary. Eugene is one haircut ahead. HARRY NAUGHTON DE PUY Harry Naughton has a partic- ular liking for room 20. He may positively be seen there two times a day and usually of- tener. Harry is very talented as a speaker and reader, often even reading Whole composi- tions from a blank piece of pa- per. He was never able to col- lect the required number of credits until he took a. position as solicitor in the Peru Credit Exchange. Hail, the conquer- ing hero comes.

I I ESTHER FOY Quite unlike her relative, the comedian, Eddie Foy, Esther is rather quiet and sedate. Nat- urally, with characteristics like these, she has always been will- ing Lo work for the good of the class Cand herselfl. Also her continual silence makes her a valuable asset in a Senior class meeting. HELEN GRAF You all know Helen. Helen, who arrives before, with, or after the little bell tinkles. When before, her countenance is naturalg when with, smiling, but when after, flushed and frowning. Helen has been known to remain at school dur- ing the noon hour for the pur- pose of being near several boys who also remain. Also for the fact that she lives rather far away. ISABEL GRAF Isabel has the same trouble with the little bell that Helen has, for the simple reason that Helen and Isabel are usually to- gether. By actual CID count, Isabel has failed in daily recita- tions but nineteen times in four years. Once -dare we disclose this secret-Hush!-Isabel had five off in deportment. But so did everyone else. HOWARD HARRIS Howard is our all around ath- lete. He can play anything from che s to a jewsharp, in- culding football. In the latter game, he, as Half 'Back Harris, is usually associated with Cap- tain Miller. I-Ie is a confirmed ladies' man and is always in the lace for almost any of them. f ' in he R e Q -'25
