iiwH ivn EDNA GRIEBEL Always agreeing, never intolerant, with a meagre supply of enthusiasm, is this unobtrusive little maid. For four years she has played rag-time tunes for the students to march out by and has generously smiled on all who pass her. Other than the innumerable times she has been obliged to change her seat away from Earl, she rarely varies her daily routine. MAX SPECHT A hearty, good-natured chap, with a smile — and a blush — that won ' t come oft. Some say that the gentle zephyrs of summer and the bitter winds of win- ter that blow at dear old Flint fanned that bloom per- manently into his cheeks, while others attribute it to heavy eating. No problem too deep for him ; no words too brief for him. Senior Play ; Oratorical. GRACE WAREHAM We do not hear much from Grace, but we always feel that she is getting there, just the same. She is a quiet and retiring maiden, with a smile and a friendly word for everyone. Grace is like the w. k. sun — you hardly notice her when she ' s around, but when she ' s gone you miss her like the dickens. Twenty-four

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

GERTRUDE HILTPOLD Like a tragic heroine emerging from belween the covers of Shakespeare. Gertrude has a serious mien and a dignified bearing that are most prepossessing. As a result her recitations are more generally learned than lucid. The Class of 17 has her to thank for the astounding Information that it is belween. Civics Class Activities. PAUL LA COUNT We predict that before many years the now ob- scure Kouts will be known throughout the country as the home of LaCounl. Paul, with his two hundred and twenty-four pounds of the real Hoosier thing, joined us only this year, but he immediately became prom- inent in our class activities. (7 ' cW xa. .-:krifi :C: MARTHA HEARD One of the few three-and-a-half-year pupils in our class. We are indeed proud of Martha ' s record, which is an unusual one, and predict great things for her. She has declared her intention of becoming a pro- fessional cook ; here ' s good luck to her future spouse ! Twenty-five
