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

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
