ALVIN THOMPSON H. S. T. AVERAGE, 93.7 Cum Ictudc should he inscribed on Alvin Thompson’s diploma this June. He has one of the finest intellects I have ever observed in my classes”, an Eau Claire Teachers’ College instructor said of him. During his three years here, Alvin has made a record as a sterling debater. For three years he has belonged to debate teams representing Eau Claire in the triangle with Superior and River Falls. This year, he was a contestant in the local final oratorical contest. His extra-curricular activities have also included memberships on this year’s All-School Carnival Committee and this year’s State Oratorical General Committee, as well as the Presidency of the State Oratorical Association and the Senate, and membership in the Crusaders and this year’s Football Squad. His major is science; his minor, mathematics. His home is Eau Claire. LORAINE JOST H. S. T. AVERAGE, 93.7 Some scholastic achievement test will have to be devised to settle whether Alvin Thompson or Lorainc Jost should be awarded the palm of supremacy. They have the same average, 93.7, and head the list of honors seniors this Commencement. Lorainc has been President of the Senate and a member of the Kodowapas, the Student Council, and the Newman Club. She was Student Chairman of the 1926 May Party, and Secretary-Treasurer of the H. H. H. Club. She is Joint Editor of the 1927 Periscope, a most difficult position, filled by her with credit to herself. Her popularity is perennial; not, of course, because she is a leader in scholarship, but because she is unselfish, generous, sunny-natured, and democratic. Her majors are history and social science; her minors, mathematics and science. She lives in Eau Claire. Page Nine
