THE 1919 SENIOR ANNUAL fff' Genevieve Parks - Jane Q We have known Jane for a long time and have always found her ready to laugh and giggle, but lately an unusual calm has settled on her and we fear that it is a bad case of heart disease. If we are wrong, can anyone enlighten us? f Mary Odelia Plunkett Ah, behold Odelia, our class teaser. She has a memory of extraordinary length. Odelia talks about the same thing for two weeks straight, and the name of Albany, always. Charles Wesley Powers - Wes Just take a squint at those eyebrows! Ain't he cute? He comes from Bridgeport, Conn. The only thing we wonder is, are there any 'more like that in Bridgeport? Wes is a great man among the ladies, and he thinks as much about them as he does any- thing else, and that's saying a lot. Football. Member of Annual Staff. Robert i11 class play. Mabel Alice Quackenbush Mabel hails from some place near Westmoreland, but we can't tell exactly. Week-ends we never see her, so there must be some attraction over there. She can tell you all about Vin and Chunk , for she sits right next them. 20

THE 1919 SENIOR ANNUAL Jennie Laura Jones Jennie is our little Welsh girl, but we don't care. It never bothers her, so as far as We can see every- thing is all right all around. Jennie can sing some, too, and she has the sweetest little voice! Senior Quartet, Glee Club. Lynn Edmund Kelley - Kelley Ah, here he is! We were going to put his sweet likeness in the joke section, but he talked us out of it. He sure can orate. On his last rhetorical ap- pearance Lynn convinced us that the holes in dough- nuts were not superfluous. There is only one coni- fort in listening to Ke1ley talk-you don't have to remember what he says. Member of Annual Staff. Football. Lura Marion Kirk Lura, we believe, likes to study. If she doesn't she takes good care that no one else knows about it. She has been faithful in her studies and has never caused one rumpus in R. F. A.-and as for men! She has never been known to cast even a glance at one. Q. Mildred Janet Lauther To be sure-Miss Lauther! Mildred is another who has never been on the carpet in the oliice. In fact, her conduct has been so irreproachable that we have made up our minds to give her the D. S. C. CDiscreet Senior Conduct.J In oral English she's a wonder at telling jokes. I9

THE 1919 SENIOR ANNUAL Vincent Malcolm Raffauf -- Vin Yes, this is the celebrated Vin. Like Barnard, he is very fond of the fair sex. His business? Oh, we expect he'll be manager of the Parker Fountain Pen Factory soon. Moreover, when it comes to women, no one can say that he is a piker. Member of Senior Annual Staff. Mary Thelma Ringrose You've guessed it! 'Yes, this is Miss Ringrose, a quiet and charming girl. She tirmly believes that one's surroundings greatly influence one's actions and deeds. We suspect that is why she cast her lot with us and comes every day from Westernville to be with us. Hazel Elizabeth Robson Some people go to school because they want Log some because they have to. Hazel goes because she wants to. The queer part of it is, she wants to go to study. We always thought women were queer, anyhow. Mildred Eleanor Rockwood For some time now Mildred has been unusually happy. Our HC0lll1lllii'l-ltd on Investigations puzzled over the case for about six weeks. They Hnally decided that the excuse for this exuberance was the fact that prohibition was at last assured. When confronted with this accusation she confessed that it was true. We feel relieved. We thvight she was in love. Salutatorian. Member of Senio, Xnnual Staff. Staff representative on Advisory Board. 21
