LA SALTIANNA jCHARLES GOSNELL Charles is our rising politician. We wouldn’t be surprised to see him in years to come haranguing the populace from some lofty balcony on a pressing political question. An ardent student of Problems of Democracy he has lately taken to reading the lighter literature— “Sociology and Modern Social Problems”—Economic History of the United States” and even “Political Prob lems of America.”—“Professor, how could you!” ELIZABETH GOSNELL Glee Club 1; French Circle 3, 4; Health Clu| 4. “Libby”—blue eyes, chestnut hair with curls achieving a tempestuous appearance—and when her bewitching giggle is heard one knows that some delightful tid-bit of gossip has reached appreciative ears. If the sky fell, “Libby” would come “smilin’ through” calmly asking, the excitement?” She hasn’t anything against studying but she asks—why bury yourself in a dry textbook when there are so many, many more delightful things to do? GEORGE GRANTZ If Ulysses had ridden in a Ford instead of a ship Georgie’s autobiography would read like an Odyssey. But even Ulysses couldn’t quite duplicate George’s skill in changing tires and manipulating spark plugs on a refractory flivver. His line is Science and we wouldn’t be surprised if he should startle the world some day with some amazing discovery—that is if he doesn’t blow himself up in the meantime. •J EARL GREECE Dark, almost to swarthiness is Earl, recalling to mind chivalrous Spanish noblemen, possessors of fiery spirits, and temperamental characters. Reserved, quiet, always busy with his own thoughts; few of us know him well, but to the chosen few Earl is a staunch friend, an ever-ready sympathizer, a true comrade. 1929 Faye seventeen

LA SALTIANNA ALICE COFFMAN French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4. “Beware of the quiet ones!” Alice’s reputation for silence and unobstrusiveness would make a clam blush. But secretly she cherishes the commendable ambition to be a writing teacher and if her beautiful penmanship is any prophecy she’ll be a success in her chosen field. ELIZABETH CUNKELMAN Glee dub 1, 2; French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4; Alumni Editor Salt Shaker 4. “A daughter of the Gods divinely tall and most divinely fair,” and yet it is Elizabeth’s dearest wish that she were a “petite brunette.” She worries quite a lot about her lessons and yet stands very high with “the powers that be.” For an example of a good student, a true friend and confidant “Bettina” might well be chosen, as shown by the h:gh regard in which she is held by her fellow classmates and friends. HELEN FENNELL Librarian 1, 2, 3, 4; French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4; Circulation Committee I aSaltianna 4. Always ready to do her part that’s Helen! “When a feller needs a friend” Helen can be counted on every time. Precise, neat, every line in its place, hair curled just so—she will make some one a marvelous housekeeper and helpmeet. If music hath charm to sooth the savage beast Helen is on the lookout for one because there is always a melody at her finder tips ready to peal forth as she sits down to “tickle the ivories.” JACK FRANKLIN Basketball Reserves 1, 2; Basketball 4; Glee Club 2; “College Cinderella” 3; Advertising Committee LaSalti-anna 4. This black-haired young gentleman is the fortunate possessor of an enigmatic personality. He has a disarming smile, an engaging manner that draws around him an ever-increasing number of friends. Perhaps our “Jaques” is rather unlucky in studies but if certain stories are authentic he makes up for it in love. Page sixteen 1929

LA SALTIANNA STANLEY KELLY French Circle 3, 4; Basketball 4. Stanley is one of those good-natured, congenial, easygoing chaps who falls heir to many a job just because of his evident willingness. “Something is always taking the joy out of life” and in Stanley’s case it’s French verbs, those elusive endings that do have a maddening faculty for being absent when most needed, are the bane of his existence. ANNA KRIVONIAK Glee Club 1, 2; French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4; Interviewer Salt Shaker 4; Circulation Committee I aSaltianna 4. Irrepressible, unsquelchable Anna! “May her shadow never decrease.” The bane of her teachers but the joy of her friends! Witty, gay, giggling Anna. Does she ever take anything seriously? Mais GUI! Underneath that happy-go-lucky exterior one finds a really cool, clever, capable character; one who can accept responsibilities and them through with a bang! Elle parle beaucoup. LUELLA LONG Glee Club 1, 2; French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4. “Gentlemen prefer blondes,” said one writer, and when one sees Luella one knows why. Blue eyes, flaxen hair, and a pleasing manner has Luella. She is, in addition, one of our most enthusiastic exponents of the gentle art of studying and devotes a large share of her time to textbooks. But just start a little music and bang goes the textbooks and Luella’s on her toes looking for a partner “to trip the light fantastic.” JOHN McPHILIMY Orchestra 2, 3, 4; Basketball Reserves 2, 3; Basketball 4; “College Cinderella” 3; French Circle 3, 4; Business Manager of Salt Shaker 4; Advertising Committee La-Saltianna 4. This boy with the flaming hair is a strong believer that “variety is the spice of life.” Who wouldn’t be such with that combination—sea-green eyes and red gold hair? Johnny is the type one likes to meet in the halls, on the street, in fact anywhere—for he’s always ready with a cheery smile and a friendly “Hello.” Page eighteen 1929
