GERTRUDE HEDBERG. “By diligence she wins her way.” Gertrude, modest and unassuming, is always in her place and always has her lessons. Languages are her forte for she has conquered two years of German and four of Latin. She looks innocent but when once aroused is found to be full of fun and very lively. She is preparing to teach and probably the future will see our dignified Gertrude gently but firmly guiding the minds of mischievous youth in the right path. HAROLD METZ. “Describe him who can.” “Mexico” is the heartsmasher of the class and a would-be athlete. Great ambitions is not his worst fault, he believes in letting things take their natural course; everything will come out right in the end. We understand that he is very fond of red ties and blue jean suits and his friends all admire (?) him when attired in this uniform. But probably some day we shall see Harold quieted down, a success in some chosen work. LOUISE OLMSTEAD. “A low and gentle voice, woman’s greatest charm.” Louise is a tall and stately member of the class of 1913, and another of the future teachers. But we feel sure that unless she learns to give more volume to her voice, she will have difficulty in making her pupils hear her. To all appearances she is staid and severe but behind a mask of solemnity and dignity, lurks a sly humor. We wish her success in her chosen occupa tion.

ALIDA REHNBORG. “Look not so mournfully into the future.” Alida’s virtues are too numerous to mention. She works faithfully and has always held a prominent place on the honor ioll. She occupies a seat in “the talker’s corner,” and when the teachers are not looking she takes an active part in the con: versation. At times she can also be induced to laugh but her smiles disappear when you mention commencement to her. Next fall may see her busily engaged as a teacher. ERNEST NAEGELY. “Night after night he sat and bleared his eyes with books.” Ernest is a very quiet youth who never attempts a thing unless he “is sure he’s right then goes ahead.” He is the star player of the High School basket ball team and has distinguished himself in football and track events as well. He is an able student, taking his senior course in half year. He is preparing for college in which work all his classmates and friends wish him good luck. ANNA CRISSY. “There is not a moment without some duty.” Anna has been president for both our Junior and Senior years, ample evidence of the esteem in which she is held by her classmates. She is very studious and ambitious, but is also one of our jolly girls, and after her lessons are ended no one can compete with her in raising a commotion. She has a host of friends here who regret that she must be leaving us. Our best wishes for success follow her.

ELEANOR WARD. “There lies a deal of deviltry beneath this mild exterior.” Eleanor joined our ranks in 1911. Her favorite maxim is, “Much study is a weariness of the flesh,” and she faithfully endeavors to put this into practice. In the silent moments of study periods mysterious sounds seem to come from the direction of her seat but when the teacher glances that way, Eleanor is deeply engaged in study (?). As she is planning to teach she may sopn be able ‘ ‘ to see herself as others have seen her. ’ ’ RUTH MANGOLD. “Oh bed! Oh bed! Delicious bed, That heaven upon earth to the sleepy head.” Ruth is one of the honor girls of our class. For three years she held first place and was forced to sacrifice it because of her health. Ruth is very popular with the other sex and keeps poor King busy carrying notes from John. But best of all Ruth likes to sleep and walks into school about eleven every morning. Ruth is a leader and we presume we shall some day hear of her ruling a little home of her own. AGNES BAKER. “As merry as the day is long.” Agnes is one of the jolly girls of our class, always ready for fun and seldom angry. She has been a loyal and active member, never forcing her opinions upon any one yet willing to do her share when necessary. Her sunny character has won for her the love and esteem of her classmates and we feel sure that her life will always be surrounded with joys.
