MABEL DAVIS “Does not Jet her hooks in eriere with having a good time. Mabel would be a good student—if she would study. Perhaps she would study if the boys would only leave her alone. But they will keep coming and she is far too kind hearted to hurt their feelings. Mabel has marked business ability, as has been demonstrated on several occasions. When Eliza- beth'-begins her career as a prima donna, she will probably make Mabel her business manager. ELIZABETH DEANE “I always work—my teachers. ” There is just one thing that keeps Elizabeth off the stage—her mother. She has all the qualifica- tions of a Prima Donna. She likes to sing, as any- one who works in the biological laboratory during the first hour in the morning will testify. If she fails to realize her ambition to go on the stage, we predict for her a great social future in Choctaw County. 32

MIRIAM CRENSHAW 'If she has any faults, she has truly deceived us.” What better example than this can be found of ‘‘much in little”? For the past century, or has it been arj age, Miriam has had the rare pleasure of teaching the little people in the eighth grade how to tread on the arithmetic path. It might be inter- esting to note a few of her rules: (x) When you come to a crook in the path, don’t worry—it’s only the per cent mark; (2) Tip your cap to the plus mark, but beware of the minus sign; (3) Be greater than Washington, but be sure you know your arith- metic lesson every day. With this set of pedagogical rules as a foundation, what can the future hold for Miriam but bright success? BESS CUDD “A sweet maiden of eighteen summers, with curly hair and eyes of blue. Somehow, Bess has not seemed quite natural this year. For one thing, she has pinned her curls up on top of her head, as befits the dignity of a Senior, and then we seem to miss something else we used to see about her; but perhaps we just im- agine it. Bess has become noted throughout the Training School for her unusual ability and firmness in managing ‘‘hard cases.” If she continues to de- velop this rare ability she may some day be in charge of a reform school. 31

GRACE DODSON To hose who talk and talk. This proverb should appeal; The steam that blows the whistle. Never turns the wheel.” Grace has had some real experience in teach- ing. She poses as a primary teacher, but her atten- tion is not confined to first grade pupils. She has been ciuite successful in teaching the “first lesson to pupils of a more advanced age. She has a liberal supply of genuine Irisli wit and is a famous talker. She is destined to enjoy a brilliant social career, and after generations will know her as the greatest flirt of her age. ETHEL GRIFFIN I should just like to see the man I'd promise to love, honor, and obey, especially the latter. Ethel is Treasurer of the Senior Class. We early singled her out as one of the few people that can be trusted with large sums of money. Ethel is a scientist by natural inclination, and her greatest aptitude is for chemistry. She is never so happy as when she is concocting queer mixtures in the chemical laboratory. Some da y she will make an entirely new combination of chemicals that will shake the world to its foundations and cause her to soar skywards to a place among the immortals. 83
