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? Senior Play ; Oratorical ; Prophet. .3 f ' ,, r :rr EMORY STONER Here ' s to the fellow who silently falls into a plan, and without a grumble or word of complaint helps carry it through to a successful finish. 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.

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

MARGERY ELLIS Margery began to read her first book on ihe twenty-ninth of April, 1900. Her devotion to the mas- ters of culture and learning has imparted to her countenance an air of classical distinction. Great thoughts, great feelings came to her Like instincts, unawares. Centennial Editor ; Oratorical. BERNARD SZOLD Although he has no powerful love for the much- abused Cicero, and although Tennyson ' s works mean nothing in his young life, Bernie is a diligent and conscientious student, and seldom comes up lacking. His deliberate method of reciting has helped to pass many weary periods delightfully. Senior Play. LOUISE SMITH Another one of our exemplary classmates whose eternal glory it is that they make no complaints about anything, but labor untiringly in all that we attempt. Louise ' s gray matter is as long as she is herself. Fate tried to conceal her by naming her Smith. Senior Play; Civics Class Council. t ,cX £ v v - t € Twenty-three
