THE 1919 SENIOR ANNUAL Genevieve Laurette Ruby - 'iGen Here's something nifty! -If you know her you're lucky. If you don't we'1l introduce you. If we do, though, you gotta promise not to monopolize her. We're not selfish, but we're human. 'tGen is one of our little class prizes. ' Grace in class play. Joseph George Ruby 4- Joe Joe has so much responsibility upon his young shoulders that he has become shop-worn -excuse us, we mean care-worn. His duties as president of Advisory Board weigh tremendously upon him. lt is rumored that Joe is to be Presidential can- didate on the Prohibition ticket for 1924. We have no doubt but what his majority will be tremendous. President of Rome Students' Association. Sec- retary of class. Pauline Frances Samson - Polly Polly is a great friend of Pete Bloss and resembles her in some V25 respects. We suspect they must have good feed up to Polly's house, too. Our Polly hails from the ,far-off hills of Western- ville. Would you believe it? Iva Estella Sawyer Miss Sawyer is one of our honor pupils, but that's not her fault. We suppose she just can't help being bright. Iva is a Lee Center belle and we're proud of her. She's come to the city to live for good now. 22

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

THE 1919 SENIOR ANNUAL Biden Alfred 'schue - sebum Ordinarily in this space we would tell you about this man Sehue. Circumstances, however, do not permit us to make these disclosures public. A per- sonal consultation with us is advisable. Call at the ollice any time. Florence Anna Sinclair Florence has never 1-aused he-r t,eam'liei's to lose any sleep. Always with lesson prepared she has gum- through high sc-hool with little or no friction. Keep up the good work. lflrreiive, I Lola Pearl Willson To tell the truth we don't know much about Lola except that she and Iva are friends of the one and inseparable kind, and instead of Lee Center hails from the big city of Point Rock. We can tell no more, but perhaps people up at the Rock eau. Ellen Eloise Wilson Some baby, our Ellen. She's one of our class orators, too. Many other classes have had orators, but they were just ordinary ones. In addition to her! oratory, Ellen finds time to be agreeable to all her friends. This, surely, displeases no one, and we are all the better for it. Captain of Girls' Basketball team. Sixth Academic honor. 23
