THE ,AURQRA Nineteen MARCELLA ERNSDORFF Maiden of the meek brown eyes, In whose orb no shadow lies. These lines suit Marcella to perfection, her clear, innocent brown eyes look out of a very attractive countenance, framed by a wealth of dark brown hair. She is the baby of the class in years, but not in class standing, as the marks on her report cards plainly show. She hopes in due time to attain College Degrees, and become a teacher of Mathe- matics. All pleasure and honor attend her efforts to the goal of her fair ambition! -Alma Lang. MONACLAIRE EARL Do you see that beaming smile, and hear that contagious laughter echoing through the corridor? That is Monaclaire Earl. When this sportive graduate is not mirthful, you may be sure that something is wrong. All know that Monaclaire is renowned for her wonderful disposition, but don't tease her too much. Her sparkling eyes and smiling lips and golden hair are inheritances of the Emerald Isle, and her patience is not ever- lasting. This graduate makes a good student in most subjects. Her motto: Laugh and the world laughs with you, has made her a lovely girl. Her schoolmates find her vivacious, amusing and thoroughly companionable. -Leona Champoux. PAULINE DOAN Pauline is one of our nicest girls, very lady-like and gentle. She has acquired all of the dignity and poise that three yearsqof convent training can give. To her school- mates, Pauline is a generous and capable girl, one who can be depended upon to carry through anything that she undertakes. -Lois Brandt. Q RUTH HOWELL If you are looking for Ruth, seek her in the music rooms. There you will find her charming, or charmed by music's sweet sounds. Ruth is one of the most interesting girls in our class. She is an extremely intelligent pupil, and never neglects a task. Her examination marks furnish a just valuation of her knowledge. To see her at her prettiest, you should catch a glimpse of her listening to Agnes O'Malley at the piano. Then her deep brown eyes are- bright with excitement, and her lips are parted in a happy smile. -Jean LaMay. URSULA DONOVAN There's not a colleen sweeter I . Where the river Shannon flows. Our blue-eyed colleen, with her mass of bronzy hair, returned to school in Septem- ber after an absence of one semester because of sickness. One might judge at first that Ursula is a quiet demure person, but we can all vouch that she is full of fun. Ursula aspires to be a pianist. May her talent and golden qualities lead her to the zenith of success. -M ary M aher. YVONNE DULUDE As Yvonne sits at a writer, her fingers gliding swiftly over the keys, she looks the ideal typist. In shorthand class, she is most industrious and strives diligently after perfec- tion. Yvonne has made a record for painstaking accuracy, and her papers a.re seldom excelled. Her gentleness, her unvarying sweetness of disposition, and graciousness of manner, have endeared her to her classmates, and will win for her life-long friends, where- ever duty calls her. -Genevieve Fortier.

N Eighteen THE .AURORA FRANCES BERG f Tall and well built, with dark brown eyes, a luxuriant head of brown hair, and cheeks ruddy with the color of health, Frances is one of the striking figures of the Class of '24, She is a diligent student, rarely coming to class with lessons that are not thoroughly pre- pared. No one, however, enjoys fun more than 'she does, and she is always foremost in adding pleasure to our recreation hburs. Her lively manner, quick sympathy, and strong sense of humor make her a pleasant companion. Both the Sisters and her Classmates look upon her as an ideal Senior. , -Eleanor Weidevnan. GENEVIEVE FORTIER Genevieve is dark-haired and dark-eyed. To the casual observer she seems un- usually quiet, but her classmates who know her intimately, know that she balances her hours between duty and pleasure. During class hours she is completely absorbed in her work, and during recreation hours no one enjoys sports more than she. Genevieve has planned a business career for herself, and we all know that time will find her making good. -Yvonne Duluole. GENEVIEVE LAMAY Jean is one of the sun-bursts of our class, full of fun, ever ready for a good time, and yet with a serious side which all who know her appreciate. She is tall and slender, with brown locks, which according to the dictates of fashion have fallen between the clipper's shears. Jean is very active in all school functions and organizations, and her enthusias- tic help has aided much in the successful cumulation of many of the school activities. She is popular with her classmates and with many others besides. -Ruth Howell. LEONA CHAMPOUX Leona's face usually wears a winning smile, she is neat and attractive in appearance. Her personality, as well as her appearance, is fascinating. One twinkle of her bright eyes, and you know that she has a sunny disposition and enjoys a frolic to the full. Leona always has a smile and a kind word for everyone, despite the long trudge back and forth from her home at Selah. -M onaclaire Earl. LOIS BRANDT f'She is a plain and honest lass, healthy and happy and good with that sort of beauty which comes from happiness and health. Lois is one of our representatives from Wapato. She is of medium size, brown-haired and blue-eyed. Of all her studies she prefers Eng- lish, and perhaps that is the reason why she has made such excellent progress in it. Al- though she enjoys recreation and out-door sports, she prefers to be an occupant of the quiet nooks. -Pauline Doan. MARY MAHER Opinions of Mary vary. To the occasional visitor she is a meek and lamb-like young lady who would never cause the slightest disturbance in the world, but the Class teachers know that Mary can create a laugh on occasion. As Mary excells in debate and islgifted with dramatic instinct, her teacher of Elocution has great hopes for her future. In the school plays our animated graduate is ideal. Mary possesses, indeed, many excellent traits of character: She is capable, generous, unselfish, loyal in friendship-in one word -she possesses a heart of gold. -Ursula Donovan.

Twenty THE AURORA LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF Tl-IE SENIOR CLASS OF '24 We, the united eighteen, the class of 1924, after four years of high school life spent in these revered halls, being, as we think and our associates judge, of a safe, sound, ex- ceedingly generous mind, do inscribe, publish, and proclaim this-our Last Will and Testament, rendering all documents of such nature drawn up at a date previous to this null and void, in the following manner and order, to-wit: I. To our beloved Faculty we bequeath our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for their constant teachings and countless kind acts. Moreover, we desire that they may retain only pleasant memories of our last four years of study. II. Next we bequeath to the Juniors the necessary encouragement to carry on, faithfully in their numerous duties as Seniors and future Alumnae of this our Academy. Likewise, we sorrowfully present to them with all due solemnity and ceremony the key to the Chemistry room, doomed to lose some of its high standing when Physics is studied therein. III. To the Sophomores we give our unrivalled popularity, our pleasing disposi- tion, and our dignified ways. Of material things we leave to the said class of '26 a brand new Waterman's fountain pen that they each, and everyone may write all our names and graces on a sheet of memories' tablet. IV. To the Freshmen we leave with the utmost thoughtfulness our ability for study, and for orderliness in the halls. Secondly, we present, them with our outworn and over- worked curling iron to fuzz the bobbed locks. Furthermore we wish-this is the request of a departing class-that they would borrow the Sophomores' pen-if convenient for themselves. V. We individually, direct that our possessions, worldly and otherwise, be dis- tributed to our heirs in like manner. 1. Lois Brandt bequeaths to Doris Cuillier a return trip ticket to Canada in order that she may see Loretta again. 2. Elsie Koreski leaves Elizabeth Keller her old pair of ice skates for next winter's frolics. 3. Frances Berg gives to Josephine her position as bell hop. 4. Monaclaire Earl presents Catherine Dawson with a bill of two dollars for a Flapper's Guide. . 5. Genevieve Fortier bequeaths to Jane a free ride on Sassy Susie to remove some over and above spunk. 6. Yvonne Dulude bequeaths to Beryl Mondor a bottle of Liquid Silmerine. 7. Leona Champoux leaves Anna Mary Devlin a Kelly-green portfolio in which to keep her Irish poems. 8. Eleanor Weideman gives Helen Barrett some of her diligence and love of study. 9. Pauline Doan wills Helen Rouleau a still and quiet afternoon near Johnston's corner. 10. Alma Lang bequeaths to Alberta Keller another compass, fearing that her one at present was overworked in the character-sketch drawing. May the new one be as useful to seccess. 11. Dorothy Ernsdorff gives Marion Skinner a baby doll upon which to lavish surplus affections. - 12. Ruth Howell leaves her Marshall-Field's dress catalogue to Adeline Koreski. 13. Ursula Donovan bequeaths to Margaret Ditter, a youth to Drape-her windows in a .newly shingled cottage. 14. Marcella leaves her position as violinist to Madeline Doyle. 15. Jean LaMay leaves Bernadine one of her free periods, thus giving her the mo-ore time to don her pretty dresses.
