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

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.

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

Her class spirit is unfailing, and she has always been m the front ranks of the hard workers. Happy am I ; from care I ' m free ! Why aren ' t they all contented like me?

Emory may not have much to say, but he has a great deal to do, and he goes ahead and does it without much talking. Senior Play; Oratorical. [fl : HELEN McNIECE A sunny disposition and an unfailing class spirit are Helen ' s outstanding characteristics. However much her blushes and dimples may charm, she herself is almost frigid to members of the male sex. If e ' er she knew an evil thought, she spake no evil word. Alumni Editor ; Senior Play.
