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.

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.

GRACE KIBBE. “Her greatest glory consists not in never failing but in passing in the end.” Grace is one of our out of town pupils. She believes in having a good time while she can. She is fond of going to the gym nasium especially when there are “feeds;” and as to dancing, why she would go on a minute’s invitation. Grace is not becoming gray haired over her subjects but is able to hold her own. Her favorite subjects are mathematics and science and in these she has made a good record. BERYL WOODRUFF. “Never trouble trouble, till trouble troubles you.” Beryl is one of our musically inclined young ladies. During her school career her favorite occupations have been writing poetry and having a good time, especially the latter. She has had many serious cases but we are unable to predict what will be the outcome. Beryl is planning for a summer school course and then teaching. Her friends and classmates all wish her prosperity in this position. EULALIA CROWLEY. “In she came one vast substantial smile.” We know not what Eulalia’s countenance would be without her sunny smile, it seems as if nothing can drive it away. No matter what happens she is always the same. Often in class meetings when the rest are deeply engaged in debate or a quarrel is about to take place she, the peacemaker, averts the trouble by some humorous remark. She has all of her classmates sincerest wishes for the future.
