This is our Lu and also our red-haired girl-but just try calling her 'tRed once and you will get a look that is enough to make the Statue of Liberty crumble. However, the old saying about red hair doesnit go with our f'Lu for we have never seen her in a bad humor yet and We believe she knocks the pins out of that proverbial statement. She is one of those attractive carefree girls who takes life as it comes and asks no more. When Lu finds something is wrong with her work, she searches out the root and then attacks it. There is nothing devious about Lu, Lu is somewhat undecided about her future, however, she will either go to college or Indiana Normal. Best wishes, Lu.

Nlyrt is a constant and loyal friend, and never fails to re- member the little things, the acts of kindness, which mean so much in friendship. Myrtle is quite adept in the art of sewing, and expects to take it up at Margaret Morrison. lllith her patience and loyalty, she cannot fail to succeed. wg' 'ef ,f' 1 .. f ' r- .1-mx' . , 52.5.1 V, , 't ' V fzffea, lwlfl' Wanda Hazel Bryner f'i.ef1y News English Course Glee tflub '23, '26, A.

One never sees 'tBoots alone, she is always amidst a group of friends, and usually the same group, too. We believe, Lefty knows quite well that to have a friend you must be one, and that accounts for her many loyal friends. l'Boots is a carefree person, never worrying about anything, just taking things naturally. She is usually smiling, for she couldn't be constantly with hlafalda, and remain immune. Lefty has the honor of taking her shorthand notes on Bliss fMon- roe's desk. Hazel expects to take the Civil Service Exam at Vlfashington in order to secure a government position. Here's luck to you Boots

Let me silent be For silence is the speech of lore The music of the splzeres above. Iiggs is one of our silent members-that is, we never hear her speak very boisterously. But she can talk, especially when she is with some of her friends and her Ford. Lois is fond of her Ford, and what she doesn't know about a Ford isn't worth knowing, and what she hasn't seen with her Ford isn't worth seeing. Evidently Lois' motto is more hurry less speed , for nothing ever excites her. Lois expects to go to Indiana Normal this summer and teach next winter. 'We wish you a happy and prosperous future Lois, and hope you do not have any smash-ups. Catherine Allen Kate Ir. Red Cross '23, '24, '25, '26, Girls' Glee Club '23, '24, '25, '26, A. A.

Her curly hair and the merry twinkle in her eyes, which, by the way, with little difficulty develops into a resounding laugh, betoken the carefree state of her mind more than any words could do. To Kate belongs the exclusive art of telling, with no peers, about a good time or a good-looking fellow. And in this discourse Kate gives good train- ing to her most prominent characteristic-talking. Kate intends to enter St. Luke-'s Hospital next year so we will probably see her often. Alice Gene Averill Boots Al English Course Glee Club '23, '24, '25, A. A.

Nurses! Nurses! The class of '26 is surely going to turn out a class of nurses, for the greater part of the gentler sex have expressed their determination of becoming servants of the public. And very charming nurses some of them will make to be sure! Not the least of them-Alice, Oh yes, Alice, too, has become a convert of the new order, and expects to enter a hospital in Rochester next fall, in furtherance of her present plans. Yes! Alice was made to be a nurse. Fluffy hair and pretty blue eyes to charm the patients and take their minds from their suffering, and then, combined with these pleasing qualities, a set of good, steady nerves to accompany them. Vl'e are sure Alice will succeed-aren't you? T11 ret

Dot is the backbone of the Commercial Department. If there is any extra work to be done, either in typing or bookkeeping, you can depend upon Dot, it must be a grand and glorious feeling to be depended upon so much, but we know that it takes a great deal of ini- tiative and practicability to be so efficient. Although Deb is very business-like and rather reserved in school, one can have a hilarious time with her if the occasion calls for it. Dot'l indiscreetly left a blank space where she was supposed to foretell her future, for we fear she will be the backbone of Domestic Arts in the original kitchen as she has been in the Commercial Depart- ment. angry? her thoughts can be. surely envy her pupils.

She is the sort of person who might consider murder or arson but she'd never, never appear without her lessons. Sometimes she finds difficulty in expressing herself lucidly but she always speaks with a background of thorough study. What Katy'l intends to do next year, we don't know, but we do know that in her P. H. S. has lost one of its steadiest and most diligent workers. The class of '26 certainly hopes she will find success and happiness in any profession she takes up. Ruth Aileen Caldwell Rufus, Classical and Scientific Course Red Cross '23, '24, '25, l26g A. A.

She is always willing to lend a helping hand. Ruth is a girl with a sunny disposition and a very sympathetic nature. Her voice is so low and gentle that her words do not grate on her listeners ears. She is always sweet and cheerful-when have you ever seen Ruth Ruth is a devotee of dreams, but not to such an extent that she is oblivious of the work at hand. Sometimes however, we wonder, where Ruth expects to go to Indiana Normal and then teach school. lVc 5 4 6 Five
