- 0EfTHE MIRAGE MILDRED PICKRELL COMMERCIAL COURSE CLEONIAN SOCIETY NICRNAMES, MIN SPEEDO There was once a young lady quite mild, Who peacefully studied and smiled, She said, 'It's no fun, but when it is done I feel like a virtuous child '. ' ' So through trick and din Mildred studies on. Oh, for her power of concentration! She is a general favorite with her teachers, and she has them all for she is carrying more studies than most Seniors and carry- ing them successfully. When we want to win a debate we call on Mildredg we have not yet found anyone who can out-argue her. What she intends to do in the future she has not informed us but of this we're Sure, She'll succeed in whatever it may be and, we sorter prophesy that in the end she'll captivate some learned professor. RUSSELL POWELL SCIENTIFIC COURSE LEVIATHAN SOCIETY HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA NICKNAME IvIOLECULE In notes, with many a winding bout Of linked sweetness long drawn out. WE hear Russell's violin. Many a time Russell has helped us forget the cares of every day life by these melodious strains. But music is not his Only love -a carefully fitted up Lab at home is another of hgs pet hobbies. He is our future chemist and expects to take Greeley's a vice O West, young man' and blow up the country. Where the ladies are concerned Russell must be very backward and bashful for there are a few Freshman girls he hasn't made eyes at yet. DGRGTHY CAMPBELL COMMERCIAL COURSE LEVIATHAN SOCIETY NICKNAME HDOTH A faithful girl, and delighzjul, She's all that one could wish. 'TIS said that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Dorothy has given us every opportunity to grow very fond of her for she hasn't been with us for a long time. Seeking after light she left us, entered the gas office and left a vacant seat in the Commercial Department. She possesses a voice, whose tones are sweet and clear and it was her nature to blossom out in song. We all missed her song and her smile. We are glad however, that she has kept up her work and can graduate with us. For her we wish one thing forever good and that one thing- success.

HERE he is! The boy who never flunked. While the rest of us were worrying Over reports, Sidney calmly went his way secure in the con- fidence Of Work Well done.

Well, let'S Whisper. Things are never quiet when this young lady comes on deck. She loves to dance, but of course never goes to one unless her lessons are prepared for the next day, as she is somewhat of a student too. She was especially brilliant in Chemistry, and when We heard an explosion in Lab. we knew either to run to Eleanor's aid or run for our lives. At times she is quiet, with a far-away look in her eyes. Speak low, tread softly! She is dreaming golden dreams for the future and we wish her loads and loads of good fortune when she becomes a nurse, which is her highest ambition. We know of one patient with an incurable malady vvho Will probably claim all her attention.

' He is destined for a most prosperous career, if preparation and ability mean anything.

-2-EQTHE M1RAGEF3+f--- BLAIR SIMMONS COMMERCIAL COURSE LEVIATHAN SOCIETY M an delights me not-nor woman either. BLAIR is one of those fellows who are felt rather than heard. He isn't president of any Literary Society, or any team, or a big noise of any sort. But if there is anything he won't do to help a friend or any belief in his duty that he won't see through to a iinish, his classmates have yet to hear of it. He continues to keep his mouth shut and make friends. His attributes are too well known to require enumerating ere. Suffice it to say that he has the courage of his convictions. BESSIE DANIELS COMMERCIAL COURSE LEVIATHAN socnzrv NICKNAME HBEBEH A maiden shy I am yon see, My middle name is modesty. THIS flaxen haired maid hails from Colona, and she does credit to her native village. She possesses real literary talent, having brains she uses them. We could always depend on Bessie to produce themes which were very original and out of the ordinary sort. Punctual? Yes indeed-she keeps a close tab on the time, for she always wears the wrist-watch--gave her. Where's he from, Bessie? We all wish you a wonderful future. X JOHN SWANSON COMMERCIAL coURsE CLEONIAN socuarv NICKNAME SWEDEN Modesty becomes a young man. JOHN hails from the small town of Bridgewater where the population never exceeds 500. This does not bother him, because Lincoln came from a small town. Swede goes into the world on the morrow carry- ing with him our utmost confidence in his success. For though he has not boned so much under the glare of late lights as to necessitate the putting in of another dynamo down at the power house, he possesses a matter-of-fact brain and an evenness of disposition that will make good anywhere. Friendly, affable and determined in his ideas-that's John.
