To many of us the art of manipulating a typewriter is just an ex- asperating game of hit and miss. Not so for Laura as she is a whiz 1 ,L for accuracy. Dick seldom gets flustered for her steady nerves have won contests for her as often as the proverbial quotation, seventy Q times seven. Laura intends to go to Indiana Normal and take a Commercial Teacher's Course. She cannot help succeeding. Q- 's James Burton Domb Jim Classical Course A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27. 'Twere better not to speak of all Thani poison from your lips slzoulrl fall. Jim must believe these lines for he is quiet, very few times does he tell his opinion, and never does he venture a word that would hurt another. It has been hard for us to understand jim , because he says so little we hardly know him. VVe have found, however, that James is always willing to oblige, no matter what it costs him. Jim is very meek, indeed his meekness sometimes causes him to act against his own best interests. Often he steps back and lets :some one else take his place, when he could have filled it much better than they. Jim expects to go to a Noimal School next year, nor will we fear for him because an humble man is bound to succeed. Margaret Burns Dougherty kt:hIaI.g17 Classical Course A.

'Z-ls merry as the day is long There are many people who are almost like Jerry but there are none who are exactly such. In the class there are many merry, happy, carefree people but of them Jerry is the merriest, happiest and the most care- free. ln her merriness Jerry does not forget that there is a time for study. On the studies which are the hardest for her, Jerry puts the most time. It must be this fact which has made her successful. Joviality can be an asset as well as a detriment, but the kind of jooy which Jerry gives is superior and supreme and cannot help being an asset. Geraldine is going in training as a nurse in Philadelphia next Year. l Donald Caldwell Frew ' Don Classical and Scientific Course slr. Red Cross.

It is his obsession and is almost excusable because what he does have done is ex-' cellent and what he saves to do at the zero hour is almost always some- thing which has little or no real importance. In a crisis he is able 'Lo do his work quickly and efficiently without having to ask innumerable questions about his subject for he is able to grasp a situation and do it justice. lie is not a bustling, hurrying maniac either but is just the opposite. instead he goes about slowly doing his share without any extra exertion. lion is going away to school next year, but he hasn't decided yet which one hc will attend.

Last year she took the part of a priestess in the High School Play and the awesome atmosphere still hovers about her when in a thoughtful mood, but, when she smiles, there is a change, she is a fun-loving girl, not morbid, melancholy, but optimistic and cheerful. Mary has not yet fully decided what her future career will be.
