Ilut Shirley has not drudged to get enough credits to grad- uate with us for she was our cheer-leader this year, was property man- ager for several plays, and carreid effectively the title role in Rosa Vera. Can you blame us for being proud of Shoes? Shirley will study Art at Ifdinboro Normal next year. If she is as energetic there as she has been in P. H. S. she will be teaching before long.

But, nevertheless, she has been with us throughout our four years in High School and we have not found her wanting in anything we have asked her to do. They tell us, though, that she isn't so quiet as she may seem, especially in Room S. VVe'll have to believe them for she is not at all loquaeious when out- side of that room.

The Smiths are well represented in the class of '26 and it is well they are for what orgztnization or class can be successful in this day and age without having a Smith or two in its ranks? And this Smith is quiet, too, indeed so quiet that we had difficulty in blaming him for anything. Blair probably does not display his wares as much as he might, but because he doesn't don't think he has none to display, for Blair is too retiring to boast of himself. VVe can't place Blair either for next year for he hasn't told us what he will do so that we might tell the world of it in case he were too bash- ful to do so. Arveda has not informed us as to what she will do next year but sht gg will undoubtedly be successful in whatever her future work may l I . A4 Ullfj

Max has not been at all indolent during his four years in High School for he has not only proved very industrious and efficient in his work in the Commercial building but has also found time to act as a stage-hand and to perform in several plays. And Max's acting deserves special mention for he has taken roles ranging from the hero to the chief butler. flax will probably continue to display energetic traits for next year we will find him employed with the Gulf Refining Company.

In every glance there broke without control The flashes of a bright but troubled soul. Iim's most noticeable feature is her long golden hair. She has never disclosed the reason why she has not succumbed to the popular fad .if bobbing it, but we presume that she has a good reason for Em doesn't do or refrain from doing Without a reason. That she is energetic and ambitious, is proved by her attendance at Indiana Normal last summer in order to advance her education more rapidly. Ein intends to finish her course at Normal and then teach. We admit that she has a good start. VVe wish you much success and good luck, Em, Merrill Schrock Schrocky 'fFat A. A.

We somehow believe that Shrocky agrees with the age-old poet who says Was ever book, containing such vile matter so fairly bound? Although Cicero's Orations is not fairly bound we sometimes feel that Merrill thinks these or even worse thoughts when he views the Cicero book placidly lying on the desk seeming to gloat in the fact that its secret is safe forever. It sure keeps Merrill guessing to figure out just which passage hliss Brown is going to call on him for. But, seriously speaking, we feel sure that lllerrill does not let Cicero prey upon his mind. Life is too short for him to ponder and fret over the words of an orator, long since dead. He finds a way to get some joy out of life.

In these days of slouching posture Russ stands gloriously out. His training as a Scout has taught him to be erect and erect he is. Russ is a mathematician of some note. He is also quite an arguer. His reasoning along any line is good. Russ is an Albionite, and so he has to start from home early to get here. But he also gets to school very early, often at 8 o'clock but who knows-his reasoning might be behind all this. No, who would ever accuse Russ of hurrying to school to see the lady folks-but then, who can tell? Seth Alexander Stokes Alex Classical and Scientific Course A. A. '23, '25, '26g The Neighbors '25, .Art Club Constitution Com- mittee '25g Educational VVeek Speaker '26, 'l'he Private Secretary '26. One of those few who has a mission To Cure ilzczlmblr' diseases Or those that are called so. We have a wee suspicion that the poet who wrote those lines has been for several years observing Alexander in one of our local drug stores and has finally reached the conclusion that Eck is a druggist. If the poet believes such, he is not very far wrong. Although lick finds it hard to leave his drugs, he refuses to scorn the wiles of Dame Art. And thus we find that Alexander is a member of our Art Club. Although he vows that girls have no attraction for him IH we sometimes feel that it is the girls, and not Dame Art, who call him to the Art Room. Alex hasn't decided definitely what he is going to do after he leaves school, but we wish him success in whatever he undertakes. V Tiuerz ty-ei Edwin S. Swarmer Hear Eddie Classical Course jr.

Edwin is somewhat of an enigma to most of us, for he fails to ex- press his opinion volubly on certain much-discussed matters. Never- theless he has definite opinions about such subjects, as some of us dis- covered when he was asked for his conception of Hamlet's character. Edwin usually seems to be in favor of the minority. Perhaps this is because he is the champion of the weak and loves the thought of an unequal struggle from which he will emerge victorious. He is quiet on that point, however, and will not disclose his purpose but we can make a good guess-eh Edwin? Ed has not yet definitely decided what he intends to do but he expects to take up a business course next fall.
