Through the storms of Burke and Long, of Iungfrau and Virgil, Iakie sails quietly and serenely, never deigning to let such trivial matters worry her. In the dirferent phases of I-Iigh School life she is always quiet and modest, never coming under the sharp knife which slashes deportment. I-lazel's beautiful complexion is the envy of her classmates, and her deep blue eyes have in them a spark of hre. In her unassuming way she adds much to the fun of our Class, and has completely won our hearts. It is with pride that the Class claims her among its -- ,V members. :iff ' ' ' I :2Qf,',.- -f rf -ff.

He has become famous in our athletics, starring on the football, base- ball, and basket ball teams for several years, he is also business manager of our Annual, president of the Boys' Club, secretary of our Senior Class, and an excellent addition to the R. H. S. chapel exercises. Indeed when he and Terry tune up their violins we are sure there is going to be some music. Charlie has also made an excellent record in all his classes, especially has he succeedeclin pleasing Miss Critz, by his extreme courtesy. A universal favorite among us all, we predict for him a very successful career at the University, and in later life as a surgeon. 2 . ef.-1' . ,Q 5 ,, f g, ,g.g: REBA MERIDITH HARRELL I 'T1zc blush Zlzaz' on hm' check is found Bloamcflzv fresh the whole vvcaf' l'0lLlId.U VVe always look to Reba as a pal in good or bad luck. Her giggles are plentiful, especially in French class, where they are often heard ,to bubble over. Not only is she foremost as a fun-maker, but we also appreciate her faithful work in the M. W. L. S. VVhen Reba comes to school on cold mornings with her cheeks beautifully Hushed, she is the envy of all the girls. We only hope trouble Will never brush the blooms from her cheeks. 23

ELLA PRESTON FOWLKES True to lzersclf, True to lim' f-riclzds, True to lzcv' duly always. From the time Preston first entered the High School she has proved herself a conscientious worker and a sincere friend. By her willingness to translate Iungfrau, and her ability to solve puzzling math. problems she has won the gratitude of the whole class. Next year Preston expects to join the ranks of teachers, and turn her efforts towards instructing the youthful minds. We predict great success for her in her profession. EARL H. FISHER 'Sac gallant and me guy a S'ZUt1lII.', This quotation only half expresses the virtues of this chival- rous young man. His spotless appearance constantly brings to our minds that good old maxim about cleanliness and godliness. Earl is especially popular with the fair sex, and a certain well- known strawberry blonde fervently declares him the handsomest boy in the Senior Class. Earl is a perfectly normal student, only working when it is absolutely necessary, but always in some miraculous way getting through successfully. To make a long story short, however, we all like Earl immensely, and regret to learn of his intention to depart for the wild and woolly west to study mining engineering. MABEL ANNE GARRISON f'Sl1rf is g00d-I1l1l1fL7'EGiA, good-liufiiorecl and fz'cv. ' Many people have envied the ease with which Mabel pleases Miss Critz in the study of English. She seems to understand perfectly the manner in which her lessons are to be learned, and consequently gets some of the highest marks in the Class. In the Business Department, too, Mabel goes through her daily routine of work without a frown or an unpleasant word, for evidently here, also, she knows her duties, and attends to them. Often she is called upon to help some one less skilled in typewriting, and her aid! is given in such a charming way that she has com- pletely won our hearts. ln the M. WV. L. S., Mabel is a faithful member, and her name is frequently found on committees or honor. 22

Although this tall, fair-haired maid impresses every one with her extreme dignity of bearing, yet when Norinne rushes in declaring that she missed her car, this impression is somewhat modulated. ln French she astonishes even our dear professor with her excellent written lessons. Norinne has the happy faculty of not allowing two English classes to discourage her, and even Miss Critz marvels at the explanations of her poetry. lt will be with sorrow when R. H. S. awakens to lind Norinne and Alma, the inseparable twins gone from her walls. JOE ANDREW JAMISON hlflljlillifil riclzes ill a liitle 7'00IIZ-.U Ioe holds the great distinction of being the only boy in the Senior A French Class, and the way he sails through, Un Voy- age en Ameriquef' is quite an education in itself. He is also the best Hguesserl' in English poetry class, and his answers nearly always hit the mark, and get rewarded with a nice, fat ten. In athletics and art circles he is a prominent figure, and because of his skill in the latter line, is one of the art editors of this Annual. Ioe's greatest failing is his appetite, and the rapidity with Which he can make buns, apples, and miscellaneous kinds of grub disappear would put an ordinary boa constrictor to shame. Joe intends to launch forth as a civil engineer, and if Love does not interfere with trigonometryn we prophesy un- . .A ,-,A 4 45.511, ,- . -21-,Li',j-t-:Mfg -Q.. 2,15 1 .- .W up-'14, 4 ,,. . . . .-,'. - ..:,4y:.z..g,, fe- f.- BERTHA ALMA HUFF Biff llL671lZ10l'j' such as 7Il'illC of 11013 S0 very 71111611 e11dc'a1's. - Ever since Aunt Lizzien the comfortable boarding house matron came upon the stage as an ardent suffragette, we have recognized Alma's ability to stand up for her rights. Her good humor is evident everywhere, especially in chemistry, where even the most terrible disappointments fail to bring forth a frown. Her witty remarks and eloquence in German move Mr. Findlay to tears and laughter. VVe regret deeply that not all the teachers can appreciate her sparkling wit. A loyal member of the M. W. L.
