ER CARROLL Elmer is very fond oi arguing and loves to give his opinions, which, by the way. usually show good judg- ment and are considered quitc valuable. Elmer hails from llanteca, and we know that he will use some oi his good judgment toward thc welfare of his native town. Elmer is a good sport and is liked by all his classmritfs. CLARENCE CLEM IZNSON Oh, what a pal is Clem ! Yes, and some :ambition he has, too! He wants to tour the world with-, though he docsn't care to work, one of the necessities ill the preparation for such a feat. llut he's far from lazy! To prove this, just consider that he turned out for crew and football and was successful in both. STELLA CR.-XXNVFO RD Our Stella is well known for her sunny, smiling face and her quiet. unassuming capability, She did very good work for the Guard and Tackle weekly the last year she was here. Since she graduated in February. she has been working in the olitice oi thc Cannery. Stella was always noted for being one of the hcst in her class as far as scholarship is concerned. As for friends-tliey are all who know her. EMILE CROSS Hello, Shorty! XYhy, yes, that is Emile speaking with her infections giggle-that giggle which made 'ilfinatoreu practices a joy to a good many sisters, cousins, and aunts. She just loves boating, horseback riding. dancing. skating, and expects to be a housewife! Says she has him all picked out, too! llut K'Slats is just as impulsive. merry. cart-irce. and enthusiastic over every- thing as any girl who ever lived. GILBERT CURTIS ORA Gilbert Curtis, the intellectual looking senior, has no nickname: so we will bestow upon him the nom-de-plume of 1nt'elligence . Intelligence entered Stockton High School from San Leandro two years ago and proceeded to brighten S. ll. S. with his unlimited supply of knowl- edge. Like all great men he has great ambitions, but then. contrary to all rules of thc gaine, he hasu't quite decided what they are. CUTTS Ora. although very dignified, is cheerful and friendly when you know her. The poor girl has been and is still searching for her ambition, She looks as if she would make a good stenographer or-a good house-keeper. If you are around Ora very long, you are sure to hear her say, tJh. don't you think so? , or Do I? 16

' - .1 ' if Seniors OZ RO BUCKMAN i'Ozzie', is very tall and manly! He's most business-like! You just ought to sec l1im work in an orchard. He surely knows what to do. And wouldn't you like to know what kind of experimenting he's going to do? Ask him! llaybe it's electrical. though, because he's planning on being an electrical engineer. LLOYD BURKE :'l'oidie sang in Pinafore , in which he was ahlc to show us how nice he will look in a uniform when he enters Annapolis to train as a naval officer. He was, also, a member of the S. II. S. state championship swim- ming team and of the second football team this year. l'oidie gets a big kick out of saying, Oh! Yeh! just as if he did not understang a thing you are talking about. You have to put the spotlight on Poidie',, too, when it comes to dancing, because he can surely live up to his reputation as the Dancing Kid ! B IZSSI li BURTON ltcssit-'s name fits her perfectly-she is so very quiet and hashful. In fact, a little hird says that she spends a good deal of hcr time hoping a man isn't looking at her while she waits on the corner for Alice. But even so, llcssie is a wonderful cook, and licr candy-Oh, man, it's too heavenly for expression! lt seems kind of too had for her to prepare at the San Jose Teaeher's College to sprout the young idea, when she might he making goodies for some of us poor mortals. RO B ERTA l3'USl-I lf you want a true blue pal. take Bobby, She arrived here two years ago full of pep, and is still in the same condition. Remember, the perfect boy in Pucker Up and VS'histlc at the September ireshmau reception, the tallest of ladies the year before, and the niggah in the last one? 'Twas Bohhy ! This year, when sho hasn't been helping on the student control, or. the G. X 'l'. work. she's been talking either to G. D. or ltobhye and Margie',. .ESTH ER CARIGIET S is that sparkling-eyed little girl with the smile that won't rub off. Angelina says she's easy to get along with, amiable, and nice, and she certainly gives that impression to all who gaze upon that joyous countenance. Of course this happy disposition must give vent to music, and we found Carr0t's blithesomcness displayed in both 1 inaf0re and The Pirates of Penzance. 2, .ETA CA RLI N lilcta Carlin is never seen without her tall partner, Kath- ryn Bliley. liven when she tinishes high school, she is V going to stay with Kat , for they will attend teachers' college together. This attractive little miss is very frmd of both swimming and tennis. VVell, Kat ,'don't let lileta eat too much rich food at Normal because you know her ambition is not to get fat. lfl ELIEN C.-XRLIN My ambition is to dance my way into the heart of a rich haelielorf' Shrimp informed us with decided seri- ousness. and she really means it. She certainly started well when she danced the hornpipe in Pinafore with lEd. and the Associated Girls have enjoyed her varied eliaraeterizations. lElondy is just a charming tempera- niental. sentimental. excitahle. good sport, always ready to laugh and never melancholy. 15

Seniors VVILMA DAVEY After hearing VViIma Davey's ambition and favorite ex- pression, one immediately decides that she is anythin but sedate. She wants to travel, to go to movies, and to dance. llesides 'KXVill loves to say, Oh, Gwanlu She is always a good old pal. Her future is a dark secret, for when asked as to what she intended to do, she said, 1'll never tell. PERCY DOLAN Tennis! tennis! tennis! It seems as if that is all Slick thinks of from what he says and docs. But 'tis not so. He believes in getting his lessons, because he's enrolled in the Honor Scholarship Society, and we all know he likes to dance. But he really does want to be a tennis shark g so-best of luck, Percy! GARDINER DUFF KEN CHA VVriting up Gardiner is like opening' a Christmas stock- ing-lhere are so many unexpected things within, which are not seen on the surface. First comes that some- thing which makes him a good sport and pal , Last year Dually shipped out exchanges, this year he debated, and next year he'll probably go to U. C. NETH DURAND Have you noticed a quiet and dignified student treading the halls of S, ll. S.? You have? NVQ-ll. did you know that that personage and Kenneth Durand were one and the same? Did you know that Kenneth Durand in- scribed his name in the hall of fame when he succeeded in obtaining a 1 from Miss Diment in U. S. History? Kcnnie is also a science 4'shark and will doubtless some day attach prof to his cognomen. RLOTTE ECKSTROM . Eel-tie expects to make Art my life work,', and wc know she means it. every word! She thinks Art will force her to attend an Art school if Art will allow her. Oh Heck! To enumerate the things Eckie has done for and in Stockton High School would positively take volumes: so we will only mention the Student Control, Executive Committee, freshman reception, fresh- man viceeprcsidency, vice-presidency of the Associated Girls 119215, junior and senior representative. Eel-:ie's chief characteristic is slowness! Yeh, slow as a snail. ROY FARNSXNO RTH Roy Farnsworth has made himself known for his record as an athlete and his talent as a musician. lt was he last year who won the Hrst place in the high jump. Roy has ably helped in many school functions with his trusty violin. Despite the fact that he is quiet by nature, he is quite sociable. Besides he is a good student. ALFRED FISHER A little red Ford bug, a big how-dy-do smile, and he himself,Tallbgo to ggakef'Al a great Ifavtiritr? especially among tie oys. iouting out over iis our toot in the band, his success in The Pirates ot Penzance, The Admirable Crichtonf' and Pinafore, is the fact that he has never had below a Z in any subject. Al's always saying, VVl1at're we gonna do t'night? but he hasldeeper plans-to slip through Stanford and then own a p :ming nn . 17
