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.

' 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

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.

GLADYS RITZ As jolly and companionable a girl as could be found in twenty high schools. Everyone is her friend because she herself is everyone ' s friend. Gladys is as reliable as a clock (wilh the exception that she never stops), and because of her independence no fears need be entertained for her future. Senior Play; Calendar Editor. FORREST JONES This expansive youth has a pompous bearing that is quite deceptive, for he is really most genial and hearty. We do not know whether to connect his unusual bulk with his bored inattention in English, but we have our suspicions. Live slowly; it feels better. Senior Play. CYNTHIA WILLING We are strongly tempted to commit the crime of making a pun on Cynthia ' s surname. However, her actions speak for themselves, and in addition to her high degree of scholarship. Cynthia has proved her worth by quietly and unostentatiously assuming little duties that others have left undone. Historian. : Twenty-one
