CHAOS= FORREST OSBORNE 1-2-3, Lincoln Literary So- ciety 2, Football 3-4, President Class If there is one rare thing on this earth, it is to find a boy who will study. “Bill” is one of our many bright and shining stars, not only in one sub- ject, but in all. JOHN STRECKER 1-2-3, Webster Literary Society 1-2, Student Council 4, Vice-President Class 4, President Radio Club Strecker is a wireless man. Burying himself in the attic almost every night, he sends and re- ceives messages far and wide. BYRON HEMPHILL .1-2-3, Webster Literary Society 1-2-4, Orchestra 3, President Print Club 4, Editor-in-Chief Chaos “Hempy” is a boy - who cast aside the many frivo- lities of high school life this year and settled down to the really serious busi- ness of getting an educa- tion. ESTHER ZACHER 1-2-3, Webster Literary Society 4, Vice-President History Club To the casual acquaint- ance Esther is a quiet, re- served girl, but to the in- timate friend she discloses a weak spark of mischiev- ousness and another wee spark of naughtiness. WILLARD MERRITT “Bill” 1-2-3, Webster Literary Society 3-4, Class Treasurer 4, Orchestra We’ve trusted him for two years with all our money. He is one of those earnest boys who can al- ways be depended upon. 19 2 1

CHAOS O stands for Osborne, the Senior class president. P is for Phegley, on a farm he’s a resident. Q means Quip, and Quip means “to tease.” Some of the Seniors can surely quip with ease. R Reed, Rose and Roland, both begin with R’s. Robinson, Rhoades and Randle are also ours. S may mean Somers, and also Shaw, While in John Strecker, don’t try to find a flaw. T is for Thornton, a meek little maid ; Also Thompson and Tullis, with reputes of high grade. U stands for Union, the source of all power, While V means Victory, attained every hour. W means Walter, and also Wasson, And Whitacre, the Arch Duke of Orange Blossom. X stands for Xmas, which comes once a year., Then we receive gifts from every friend dear. Y is for Yawn, and always on Monday, Teachers never saw why it couldn’t be Sunday. Z stands for Zacher, a meek little lass, Who was usually found at the head of the class. And now that I have mentioned every Senior’s name, Please remember that I tried to treat each one the same. And in the years to come, when you have all found your fates, Don’t forget old ’21, and your Senior classmates. THERESA HOOVER, ’21. 19 2 1
