MILDRED HARNE Identification: “ Roughneck.” Favorite literature: Barker's almanac. Ambition: Contrary old maid. Mildred, are you ready? For slow- ness, Mildred actually is the limit. But when she does get started, look out! She does things with a vengeance when she actually starts. For a time she was a French student, but she dropped that for her beloved study, Caesar. Mildred is very tactful: she knows when to talk, play, sing or keep quiet. Also she can sing solos. In Domestic Science Mildred is the pest about every five minutes she and Miss Fleming are arguing. Her ex- cellences are many, one of which is good narration. If we wish a good, short story, we hand the blue ribbon to “Mil.” GRACE STOUFFER Identification: Two curls. Favorite literature: Sunday-school pa- pers. Ambition: Missionary. Artist, musician, debater and an all- around student all in one. She doesn’t seem to have to study hard, but she generally gets there just the same, and with flying colors, too. Dignified? Well, rather her appearance—the way she walks, talks, and looks—stamp her as a senior. Despite this, however, she can be as jolly as you find ’em and can entertain one anywhere. “(), piffle!” “Cheese it!” “Can you beat it?” These are by-words of our dear Graeie; this proves that she can throw off her dignity. Grace is Alii s particular pick when “Mil” is in the mood for teasing. Most of her teasing is about a certain laddie,Lem. Grace laughs and tells “Mil” she is only jealous, and goes on dreaming of “Lem.” 18

RITII KUHN I lentification: (J iggl i ng. Favorite literature: “Merchant of 7 • ♦ enice. Ambition: Dish washer. Aw! and then laugh. “ Kuhnie can laugh like all forty. She’s an exact counterpart of Charlie Chaplin when it comes to the funny part. “Oh, my, ain t that awful?’’ Such expres- sions are not considered unusual for “ Kuhnie.” She’s a senior also, but not nearly so dignified as some. She's a good sport and does not kick because she has to work with the Juniors in Domestic Science. The other digni- fied seniors twit her about it, but she squares it up by telling them. “(), well. Miss Fleming said our biscuits were delicious and better than yours.” Kuhnie is struggling along and looking forward to Commencement Day with mingled ambition and fear. CATHERINE ROWE Identification: Blue dresses. Favorite literature: Newspaper items. Ambition: To be an artist and draw a salary. “Where are you goin’P Can I go along?” If we hear this no one needs to ask who said it. We all know Catherine by her slang expressions. She is the youngest of the Senior class but has the most engagements with young “gents” of all the girls. She makes frequent trips to Boonsboro, but what for (?)—to see her relatives, we hope. But come to think of it, she never mentions a single relative when she returns. Catherine certainly loves to study Caesar and sometimes says she spends a whole evening trying to connect up one line of great Caesar’s greater orations. 17

RUTH SENSENBAUGH Identification: Big brown eyes. Favorite literature: 7-day books. Ambition: School inarm. “Sensy” is a good-natured senior. And bright! She is as bright as the brightest diamond found by men. “Ruth, got your French?” is the song of all her colleagues in this study. And Ruth plays on the top in the other studies, too. Sometimes she has it on paper, “then again” she has it only in her head; but it is there “all the samie” and it will out. Besides being such a student, Ruth is the jolliest ever. “Now, please don’t make me laugh or I never will get stopped.” She is full of life and vivacity. Why she walks six miles a day in all kinds of weather, besides innumerable home chores, which does not dampen her spirits in the least. We have never taken time to calculate how far Ruth walks (and rides) in a year, but it should go down on record. CLARENCE YOWLER Identification: His grin. Favorite literature: “ Popular Science.” Ambition: Master of Science. Another representative of the moun- tainous region. “Pap” hails from Cave town, a suburb of Smithsburg. He has been cpiite a familiar figure around school and has his lot of friends well established—male as well as fe- male. As an English student he is without a peer; as a socializer he is not rivaled, and when it comes to oratory stump speeches he “gets the dog.” “Pap” is also a firm believer in the Monroe Doctrine, archimedie princi- ples and tar shoes. He has the neces- sary qualities for success in whatever he takes up and we predict a bright fortune for him. “Early to bed and early to rise” is never the rule that makes “Pap” wise. (If he is so.) 19
