RUTH Me A BEE A t ood heart is worth gold ” Here is a girl we all love. Her gentle smil goal words to her classmates have certainly won place in the hearts of many. While others rave about not knowing their lessons. Ruth sits up in her quiet, dignified manner and rests comfortably—she has nothing to fear. In the future she is bound to succeed. RUTH McKAIN It’s the songs ye sing and the smiles ye wear That's a-making the sun shine everywhere.” Rufus” is a real friend and one that can always he depended upon. She will translate Virgil or work Physics for you—even if it’s just two minutes before class. Ruth has a talent for writing, too, and some of her humorous stories have been published in Thb Scribbi.br. We would not attempt to weigh her characteristics in such a limited space, because even scales are not that accurate. MARY ELLA McCREDIE “Her heart’s as far from fraud As heaven is from earth.” Take a teaspoon of sunshine and sprinkle in a few rain-drops. Stir in well some laughter, smiles, and a heaping tablespoon of joy: mix carefully with true friendship and everlasting love—that makes Mary Ella. EDWARD McDOWELL IT’hen hearts are trite. Few words will do.” Eddie” is one of these silent kind of boys until you know him. When he is called on in class, he hesitates at first, but when he does answer, this answer is usually correct. He is a big devotee of sports, and is always there ready to yell for the school. We wish Eddie” the best of luck as he pursues his higher education. JOHN McQUARRIE Life has no pleasure brighter or nobler than that of friendship.” Whenever anyone mentions John, we somehow unconsciously get a feeling of cheerfulness. John is one of the most cheerful and friendly fellows in his class. He possesses that quality which makes everyone with whom he comes in contact like him. He is a worthwhile friend, and we arc glad to count him as one of our graduates. NCD

 i SCRIBBLER LLE MOORE without more fuss: all rests on ns.” to keep up with the school only three any-to WALTER MILLER “'Worry never made men great; why should 1 worry?’’ Red'' is conspicuous in any crowd, with his flaming hair towering above his associates. He is seriously .contemplating going into the movies or posing for a hair-tonic concern—that is, if he doesn’t become a second Bud Fisher in the cartoon world. LOUCILIA METLER Her glossy hair was clustered o’er a brow Bright with intelligence, fade and smooth.” Only those who have had the pleasure of being Loucilia's classmates can know how really intellectual and charming she is. Like all chubby people, Loucilia is always in a good humor. She is attractive and is liked by both teachers and pupils. Ask her what is so interesting in Charlotte. Maybe she’ll say that’s her home town, but we think differently.

JEANETTE OUTZ If you have built ca-stlcs in the air. your work is not lost; that is where they should be; now put foundations under them. Talk about the last word”! That’s Jeanette— she’s right there on the latest news front Paris. You would think that she would forget her honorable lessons. But not she! When it conies to short stories, she can beat Mary Roberts Rhinehart. And, dear readers—she has promised to dedicate her first story to the class of '28. JESSIE OWEN “She excels each mortal thing, Upon the dull earth dwelling.” If you’re looking for a true-blue friend, find Jessie and become really acquainted with her. One reason we love her is because she is so unaffected. To our way of thinking she is the best sport of any girl we know. WATSON PAINTER Of soul sincere, in action faithful, in honor clear.” Four years acquaintance with Watson proves the above statement. If someone should ask what Watson’s hobby is, that question could be very definitely answered in one word. Math. But ask him if French will be one of the subjects in his college curriculum and see what he says. JAMES OUTZ 'When there’s a lady in the case. All other things give place.” ■Jim is the ladies’ man” of our class. His greatest trouble is escaping from hordes of his feminine admirers. His greatest ambition is to receive more mail than a movie star, and at the rate he is going now he promises to reach his heart’s desire. CHARI.ES PACE Happy am I; from care I’m free. Why aren’t they all content like me? Two years ago Charles came to us from Hastoc. He is one of those quiet, good-looking young fellows who is quite popular with the ladies. But he doesn't like to bone : instead, he prefers “to toot his saxophone, and he is no mean artist, either. Good luck. Charles!
