EARL V. SMITH Tall, handsome, and dashing, bul with no love for science or literature, Farmer has the most pro- found disgust for anyone who expresses, after four years in High School, any attachment for Emerson or Sir Isaac Newton. His only regret m life, he says, is that he was seventeen days too young. Assistant Business Manager; Senior Play; Ora- torical ; Treasurer (3). ROSEMARY LAWRENCE To Rosy belongs the credit for the artistic ex- cellence of The Valenian. We all feel proud of her remarkable talent and hope that the success which is due her in life may come quickly. She may have troubles of her own, but if so the rest of us never know it, for she always maintains a cheery, optimistic demeanor. Staff Artist. EARLE MAVITY One day in April, 1 899, Earle began arguing ve- hemently with the nurse, and has been repeating the performance with somebody ever since. If he doesnt turn out to be Minister to England or Chief Justice or President, it won ' t be his fault. Bid me discourse ; I will enchant thine ear. Athletic Editor; H. S. A.

§ FREDERIC ARVIN What would we have done in Senior meetings that they might be termed business-Hke had not Frederic given us instructions for the annual? In him are com- bined the characteristics of the poet and the possi- bihties of youth. Infinite riches in a little room. Editor-in-Chief; Oratorical; Senior Play. HELEN KULL Helen has a superior gravity combined with a Teutonic build, which together make her most imposing. Nor is her profound appearance lessened in any degree by her abstract and far-away gaze while studying in the assembly room. She may best be described as having a Greek head on Yankee shoulders. Assistant Editor; Oratorical; Civics Class Council. MAXWELL EVANS Whether or not Max ' s main purpose in going through High School is to acquire a classical edu- cation, is a matter open to discussion. But however little inclination he may have toward exhaustive re- search, he has nevertheless lost no friends on that account. Whate ' er he did was done with so much ease. In him alone ' twas natural to please. Business Manager ; President H. S. A. A. ; Senior Play; Class President (3). Eighteen

IRENE BALL Whenever time lags at a parly. Irene comes to tKe front and succeeds in arousing the spirit of the bunch. Sparkling, vivacious and lively as she is, there is alvi ' ays sure to be something doing when she is around. 3 Strange that a harp of a thousand strings Should keep in tune so long. Society Editor ; Civics Class Council ; Senior Play ; Oratorical. :;. ' e. ' t £ %Ly € .y ie -ui-9 ' ' - oJ- HERBERT SCHLEMAN He doesn ' t look it, but Herb has a decided in- clination toward nice, moonlight nights and weenie roasts, as he has himself confessed on various occa- sions. Despite certain vocal impediments. Herb makes life easy for us by reciting when everyone else is silent and dreading the wrath of the teachers. Oratorical ; Civics Class Council. HELEN DEAN Our class boasts the best singer — or singess — in the school. Helen ' s voice has lent charm to innum- erable programs and things, but we never weary of it. Besides doing her share toward increasing the avoir- dupois of the class, Helen has furnished by her cheer- fulness and unfailing optimism an inspiration to us all. Joke Editor ; Senior Play. Twenty
