Georges record of breaking hearts is not in keeping with his age, so we lirmly believe that he must have started making ' love from the lirst time he spoke. Especially is he popular with the Freshmen, but their admiration for him has not affected his disposition in the least. 1-le is studious, dignihed, and deter- mined to make a great name for himself. lf George is always as conscientious as he has been, we expect to meet him in a 'few years, with a long list of degrees and several medals. . .53--.., h ,1 . .,-.,.... 1:1-. .. 6' 'f .niyf ,'-Lg' 'L-J i'-' '1 1 1 2. . f':5':' 1 .Q 14.11 -ftitiiiirt ., 4 1,6 GEORGE WARWICK WOOD RUTH ELLEN RUSH riPCl'5CUL'7'lllIl'C r011q11m'c!lL all lllizzgxf' Ruth possesses an unusual power for attention. This mixed with plenty of diligence and a bright mind wins for her an enviable place in the good will of the Faculty. Especially re- markable is her ability for solving' correctly troublesome loga- rithms in Trig. lN'hen our hearts are heaviest Ruth's persever- ance never fails to act as a balm. May she pursue her future life with as much good will as her past. MILDRED SPENCER Little wilful ztfnyward ficliozz- Teasifzg, 10l'lu7'i11g c0l1f1'adzfii011. Mildred holds the distinction of being the greatest talker in the Senior Classy and whenever she speaks she is sure of an appreciative audience, for her remarks are nearly always of the highly colored variety. Nevertheless, we believe that she has honest convictions, and though we may not always agree with her in some of her opinions, we admire her greatly for her strong will power. Mildred is a true friend and a jolly chum, and her charming eccentricities make us forgive her weakness for the argument. Wfe predict that in the future she will be one of our leading suffragettes and we, in all probability, will be proud to remember that she was one of our classmates. 31

51.5 - I 1 l' jpg: mis 65 ' . 4' . 'f EVANGELINE PORTIA RICE All 0f7C1Z-17,6CZ7'lCd maidcvz, jmrc and trim. Among the most popular as Well as the most attractive mem- bers of the Senior Class, is Eva, a general favorite of the school. Her bright, sunny disposition has helped many a poor, unfortu- nate student out of despair, and has made Eva's path through R. H. S. very Hovvery indeed. Not only is Eva a born actress, and public speaker, but her talent for domestic science has been displayed several times when she gave us samples of her cooking. As president oil M. VV, L. S. she did wonderful work with those students of literary inclination, and her remarkable school spirit was shown at every R. H. S. gathering from our occasional feasts to every game in athletics. Eva is also class historian, and proves herself suitable for any ofhce. Since her ambition has been realized Cteaching schoolb, we envy her pupils their charming teacher, at the same time rejoice at seeing her happily at work. ' PEYTON LEFTWITCH TERRY lf I have lost my ring, I still lzatle my finger. Peyton is one of the most popular of our classmates, particu- larly with the fair sex. In his four years here he has achieved great success in everything which he has undertaken. l-lis Ger- man translations are Wonderful considering the small amount of time he spendspreparing them. He has Won honors and praise for his ability to play basket ball, but greater honors are his in being assistant business manager of this Annual, and treas- urer of the Boys, Club. l-lis record as a heart breaker is Well known, and we are sure that by Hliddling-up on his violinn he can win the heart of any fair maiden. A ..-:ffeif C ' S A' 'ii ' 1. ri MARY MYRTLE ROBERTSON The maiden to wlzonz her work was all in all. lt is with great admiration that we look upon Myrtleis stead- fast walk in the path of knowledge. Often we have longed for that marvelous control of our tempers, which she possesses, for in all of Myrtle's school career she has never received anything but 100 on deportment. Because ol her lofty ideals and ex- treme modesty she has always been the favorite of the Faculty, who regard her words as from one of Whom they are justly proud. 30

ELIZABETH SEMPLE Good natizre and good some are good C0711fI7lllLl0llS.U Elizabeth is surely good nature personihed. Her generositv is well known to all her classmates. Especially is she 'fliberali' with her delicious fudge which she brings for lunch. Even the outlandish number of seven subjects does not ruhfle her temper, for through it all she sails serenely with a cheery countenance. Elizabetlfs strong point is asking questions, which she never neglects to do when the least opportunity arises. She was never known to fail to have three or four examples to be explained in the Review Math. Class, or to let our French teacher escape a lesson without receiving a bountiful volley of her Fire. VVe know that whatever she undertakes in her future career she will make good. FREDERICK B. HARRIS Still runs ilze strmzn when the wafer is cieopf' There is no boy more gallant in our Class than Fred. He is always ready to do any small service for the girls, whether it be in Laboratory or Typewriting room. He has, through his four years with us, shown himself a splendid student, and won the respect of the entire Faculty and studfent body. Fred has gained a name for himself in literary circles by his splendid oratory in the J. L. S., and we predict for him a brilliant career at V. P. l. in this class of work. He also served this organiza- tion admirably as secretary, and in the Boys' Club supper his sunny smile adds much to the enjoyment of the other members present. IVIARGUERITE SCHUBERT A true friend 'is forezfer a f1'ie11d. Marguerite's first appearance as a suffragette in our play was an extremely successful one, and she has kept up this reputation ever since. She has always been a jolly classmate ready to help us all when we are up against it. She has also made an excellent record in all her studies, especially in English, for only a few of us have made a hundred on an English Exam. VVe are sure that Marguerite is a true daughter of old Erin, because of her fondness for green, and we are positive that she will be a worthy daughter of her race in all her work. 32
