------- r i SCRIBBLER ELIZABETH LEM MONO Slic was made for happy thoughts. For playful wit, and laughter. Who is that talking over in the corner ? Elizabeth, of course! Tubby” can talk anybody’s blues away, and she helps Old Sol brighten up the schoolroom many a time. Petite, pep-personified, loads of fun, that is Elizabeth! Although you generally see her eyes roll heavenward when she is called on, she gets by somehow. Her sunshiny disposition and cheerful giggle have made her popular here at High School. DAVID LEONARD p'.V y heart is whole, my fancy free; ‘ Go away, little girls, don't bother me.” Most Xdks think “Dave” is timid, but answer this question: Have you ever seen him on a football field?” Well, then, you should! He is a favorite with his classmates and finds time, with all the athletic interests, to study enough to pass and make creditable marks. ELIZABETH LEONARD If you fall, get up.’’ Lib, with long hair—Lib, with short hair—Lib, in her Buick—Lib, with her latest crush”! One can never tell which Lib to expect. But whichever one appears is always a delightful one. She is full of fun, but not frivolous or silly. All who know and understand Lib love her and hope the best for her future. MARGARET LESESNE “A smile for all, a greeting glad; A loz'able, friendly way she had. Margaret is our star History pupil. If she ever made under 99, we don’t remember it. Although History is her strong suit, she never neglects her other studies. Her wise cracks in Physics and French often liven up a dull lesson. There seems to be no end to her accomplishments, for she plays the piano exceedingly well and swings a mean tennis racquet. If you want Margaret to “sit up and take notice,” just mention Union. , WILLIAM LOWE I “A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning. Bill is one of our best all-round boys. He always has a smile to greet the nine o’clock bell and plunges into his work with a will. “To do better.” Great bridges and buildings will mark his efforts in later years, for Bill has architectural ambitions.

SCRIBBLER MARY LOU KIRBY “If love is music, play on forever.” Dreamy blue eyes—brown liair—a sweet, sweet smile—yes! Mary Lou reminds people of an angel— and she must be, because her music is—heavenly. The class of '28 has great hopes of front seat passes to your first Metropolitan concert, Mary Lou, so don’t forget us! Jk v ADA LANCASTER Give me music and true friends And life will be a pleasure.” When the whole class has declared that they have never heard of such a Latin rule, Ada quietly gets up, gives the rule and blandly winks at our dumb-founded faces. How Ada manages to play tennis all afternoon. practice for her career as the second Paderewski, get to bed for her beauty sleep, and then get on the honor roll is a riddle we’ve never solved. ROWENA LARK “Come what come may, time and the hour run through the roughest day.” Rowena is a quaint little mouse whose comings and goings do not make for disturbance in the class. Those who know her, however, like her, for she is always kind, thoughtful, and willing to help. BEATRICE LEE “Here’s a smile for those who love me, Here’s a sigh for those who hate; . bid whatever sky’s above me. Here’s a heart for any fate.” Here is a real pal! “Bea” is one of the best allround girls in High School. She can translate “Virgil” backwards, can shoot a wicked goal, can write poetry, and she can talk—and talk—and talk ! Whenever a good joke is being told, old Bea” is right there “holding both her sides.” And even if she has the malady of getting on the honor roll every month, she can always giggle and sympathize with us who don’t. GERTRUDE LEE “True to my word, my work, and my friends.” Worth, courage, honor, wit—these are indeed her sustenance and birthright. She seems to have attained the happy medium between fun and work. Gertrude is a quiet, unassuming girl whose sunny disposition has won for her many friends.

 SCRIBBLER ALMA MALLARD And frame your mind lo mirth and merriment. Which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life. Next to her love for French, Alma loves—a Ford. Her classmates believe that her optimism will carry her through life as it has carried her through school. Her only fault is that she can't remember that school opens at nine o’clock instead of nine-thirty. ARNOLD S. MANN Bor e’en though vanquished, he could argue still.” When Arnold has an idea, or what he thinks is an idea, he feels that he must argue his point until all are convinced. He will make a great lawyer some day. Skinny has always been interested in athletics, and is mighty good with his hurdles on the track field. CARL MAY Build for character, not Always silent until called sends forth words of wdsy meanings. Carl is good man has his Waterloo, mean poet and lias
