THE 1919 SENICDR ANNUAL Merrilene Esther Bloss - Pete Pete is straight from Blossvale, and you get good feed there. She is the only original corn fed baby. During the food shortage she tipped the scales at two hundred and forty. We don't know how much she weighs now. The old saying. Good things come in small packages, didn't bear out in this case. Valedictorian. wwf Fannie Helen Boyson Fannie has not always been with us, but we wel- come her just the same. -lf anyone should tell you that she is quiet and shy, don't you believe 'em. We know better! Don't we see her every day? Frances King Clyde This little girl is a very active member of our class and one sweet kid, too. Yet Frances has her own opinions, and likewise always expresses them. Seriously, we believe she likes to talk. We realize the gravity of such an accusation, but repeated evi- dence of this makes this statement imperative. She will make some deaf-and-dumb man a peach of a little wife. Running center on Girls' Basketball team. Marjorie Singleton Dunning Marjorie looks as though she were awfully quiet, but the truth is she's an awful talker and can giggle more than anyone in our class. Yet she never has gone on the rampage, but we certainly wish she would. We should like to be there. I4

THE 1919 SENIOR ANNUAL Lincoln David Evans- Link No, you are mistaken! Link is not posing. This is his natural look. Serious. you say? Yes, just a trifle, but only on the surface. He's a regular guy when you get to know him. He has begun to carry matches too, so we heard. Mildred Louise Evans Do you know this yere female? Well, she is one of the best skilled auto drivers in the country. We'll have to admit that Mildred is rather quiet, but that only reminds us that still water often runs deep. Ruth Christine Fox - Foxey When we look at a picture like this it makes us feel young again. We feel that life is worth living, after all. Ruth is a good student as well as a good looker. Some combination! Her number is 281- Apple. Fifth academic honor. Assistant business man- ager Senior Annual. Lawrence Philip Gaheen - Larry Did you ever hear of such a good old Irish name? Mickey had nothing on Larry. Blue eyes, well, I guess! Now, don't you like him? The girls do, too. He is now managing a local shoe store, but finds time for a little pool now and then. If you want to be beaten, just call up the Y. M. and ask for him. He's usually there. I5
