Tot is a person of violent moods. But, when the clouds blow away, and the storm is over she can be just as violently happy as she was angry. Tot makes no distinction between wealth and poverty when it comes to choosing her friends. Tot is always busy either working or talking, Delivering magazines is one of her occupations. Tot expects to take up art next year and we feel that even her greatest masterpieces will have at least a tiny bit of pink in them. lVe suggest that she paint flowers, specializing in roses. Here's to your success, Tot. Veto Adams Veto Classical Course Ir. Red Cross, '26, '27, '28, '29, A. A., '29, Oratorical Contest, '29, De- bating Society, '29, Latin Club, '29. What is to be, is to be. Veto has tried his hand at almost azverything, including oratorical contests. Veto is very excitable and because of this is sometimes very humorous. However, nothing daunts him and he is always ready to try everything again. He is very studious, and may be seen any day at 8:55 busily plying his books. His chief worry is graduation. A low swinging figure, slightly bent forward, staggering under a load of books, will be identified as Veto. 'Veto carries this huge stack of books four- teen miles every day in order to get his education. Yeto hasn't yet informed us what he intends to do. Margaret Adamson GkPCg77 English Course A.

Little joys refresh us C0lZSfCZlIfIll'i ' Peg is the tall, thin, wavy-haired, jolly maiden who is noticed first upon entering T because she sits in the first seat. One glance at her would prove to anyone that she likes a good time and is always in Search of one. However, she does not slight her school work for good times. Her favorite study is Typing. She is wise, witty, and very humorous when out with the kids. She doesn't believe in get- ting flustered. Take life as it comes is her motto. She hasn't yet decided what she will do but is considering a P. G. course. Five

'l' ll li M l IQ R O R some very sad memories of the pleasant ,joys they will leave behind them forever. lloesllll a thought of the good times they had getting ready for those high school plays always bring sadness to the hearts of the Seniors? llow about the times they planned the Sophomore Party, the Junior and Senior Receptions? Not only that, hut think of the many times they attended football and basketball games as a part of fl'. ll. S. All these retrospective thoughts dull the ,joy of graduating for the Seniors. They realize, too, the hardships before them, the task of defeating all opposition. But they pull back their shoulders, grit their teeth, elench their fists, and with a determined stride, leave the home of their training and march on. After spending these seemingly tiresome four yea rs, is there not some reward? Yes, say many of us. No, say many, also. Think. Does not the idea, the thought of being able to go through the training, that has prepared us for our life work, the training that has made men and women of us, given us some joy? Yes. 'When you receive your diploma, doeis not a confident attitude swell up in you? You realize that you are a man or woman 11ow and have achieved a great honor. As you walk down the street or in the school, in your robe., and see the underclassmen looking at you, you feel, for the first time, a touch o.f im- portance, which is bound to help you from then on. To graduate is not leaving all your loves, hopes, and desires. It is just the begin- ning. You leave only a small institution, compared with the future. The whole world is a school that teaches every one of us something new every dayq So let 's get together and give each grad- uating class the reward and praise that is due them, just as a departing army, clothed in shining armor, and filled with determination, is cheered by the friends and lovers who wish to see them make a successful campaign.

'21 cmzlelzztvzl sj11'1'it is flu' siuecztexi of f'.X'l'SZ'l'llCl'.', Thats Pete. He goes along with a carefree attitude a11d there is always a half smile on his face. Pete is one of those privileged students who rides to school in his own car. But Pete doesn't lord it over any- one for this reason. He holds a respect for all his friends. Pete's out- side activities center upon the Hupmot-ile garage. Bluch of his spare time is spent at that place. Pete has only been with us for two years leut he has acquired a number of friends by his open and frank manner. Pete's future is undecided but we think that a guess at Hupmobile F salesmanship would not go far wrong. Olen Baun A Baun Scientific Course ,lr Red Vross, '26, '27, '28, '29, A.

Olen is our classmate who writes the charming essays. In Eng- lisl: lll and IY, Olen presented the class with two essays on Fords. Let me tell you they were screams. Henry Ford surely spoiled the career of a future essayist, when he constructed the New Ford. Now Olen is lureft of a theme for his essays. l1aun's curly hair and wide smile immediately show his sense of lzumor, He delivers it in a slow detailed manner, so that nothing is left out. Sometimes Olen must have a detailed explanation of a sub-- jtct so that he may fully understand it. This, of course, benefits him illUnt'. Olen is undecided as to his future occupation, but he suggests that he may take up aviation. NVe wish him luck and hope that some T day he will discover and colonize liars for America. Frank Bell -rrselr' English Course ,lr. Red Cross, '28, '29, A. A., '29, Commercial Club, '28, '29. i'F7'l'F7lC1.Y, I come not here to talk. A tall, lank figure coming into T reveals none other than Frank Frank usually maintains a solid silence, very seldom breaking it With a yes or no , 'Whenever he feels out of place or ill at ease, he ab- solutely refuses to enter any discussion. Frank has a spark of humor way down deep inside him but he never allows it to escape nor ever allows anyone to even get a glimpse of it. However, believe it or not, it exists. Frank is very girl shy although it is said a certain party once-attracted his attention. Frank finds it rather difficult always to make the goal but his perseverance will surely bring him success. Franks future is undecided hut we are sure he will succeed in What- ever he undertakes. S ix
