RALPH MURRAY Identification: Raven-hued hair. Favorite literature: Funny papers. Ambition: Doctor. II ■re comes another “ladies” man. He is extremely bashful, but just in- troduce him to a pretty girl once and his bashfulness goes up in smoke. He is the unique joker of the Junior class. He will say something about one thing or another which will make one laugh gleefully, while to the ordinary eye these things have no funny side at all. Ralph is a genius in this line. “Got your French written off? Loan it to me, please.” We can always tell when Ralph has returned from lunch, for these are almost the first words he speaks when he gets within the limits of the school building. If no one hap- pens to have it for him, he wades into it and comes out dripping, but happy, on the other side. ROBERT DAYIIOFF Identification: Bashfulness. Favorite literature: Rip Van Winkle. Ambition: A farmer. Here is another Junior. If you don’t believe it, ask him to see his class ring. Robert is the “only”! one in our class that doesn’t get into trouble with his mouth. Robert uses tact. He is very careful how he treats (?) the girls. Robert is a pretty good scholar in the winter, but when it begins to get warm, he, like the rest of us, believe in the grasshoppers’ place. 27

MARGARET SIGLER Identification: G. N. W. signet ring. Favorite literature: “ Ascot ws-Geo- wolf.” Ambition: Master of music. Here is Margaret No. 1. She is the prize “dodge ball player” and “dancer” of the Junior class. M ar- garet is a very good scholar in French, English and Mathematics, but she takes most interest in Chemistry,” due to the attractive instructor (we think). Her greatest trouble is that she is very easily attracted by ex- perienced mechanics. Well, she, like the rest of us, has her faults, but we must say that it would be impossible for the Juniors to get along without her. for she is willing to lend a helping hand to all who need it. JAMES SHANK Identification: .1. (). C. S. Favorite literature: History of Eng- land. Ambition: Preacher. Yes, of course you can have the party out at my house. If the Juniors are undecided as to where they will hold their “next party,” why, just call on Mr. Shank. We never could man- age without James. He's our old stand-by. James is a great chum of “Jimmy.” They are so often seen strolling hand in hand, that we lov- ingly call them our two “Jimmies.” He also has great “reasoning powers,” as he has proven several times in Math. “Yes, but I don’t understand it,” is his favorite expression when he is working an Algebra problem, and everything is as plain as the nose on your face. We know, though, that he only does it to annoy, and have pa- tience with him and explain again. He’ll understand some day. 26

ELIZABETH LIKE Identification: Rosy checks. Favorite literature: Fairy tales. Ambition: Stenographer. Hail to “(’utie!” Sec her rosy checks and smiling lips. But that smile visibly deepens when she sees a certain orator and singer approach- ing. Elizabeth hails from Pikes Peak.” She is wonderfully gifted in the art of dusting pianos (when she can choose her own helper), making biscuits in Domestic Science, instru- mental music and declamation. What an excellent housekeeper she will make some day when she puts into practice these arts. In fact, “Lizzie Liza” is the old-fashioned model of a girl my grandmother told me about years ago. ARTHUR SLEASMAX Identification: Sky-blue pink neck-tie. Favorite literature: Sale-bills. Ambition: Civil engineer. Arthur is the joy of the Junior class—salute him! “I)o you have your problems? (lot your French?” Questions of this kind are not extra- ordinary but (piite the natural order of procedure from Arthur’s mouth. He is everybody’s friend but still he has his favorites as everybody else. Now, his only ambition is to get “through.” and we are afraid he will not worry himself sick over the future but will take life as it comes. In words his motto might be, “ Roll on, () world, and I'll roll with thee.” 28
