IRENE THOMPSON Irene claims one-third of the stock of the Thompson, Clapper, Tofte Co. Her delicate sense of humor is sur- passed only by Esther. Her mis- chievousness in Chemistry has forced Prof. Shafer to add a few gray hairs to his Whitened (?) Locks. THOMAS JOHNSON We state without the slightest hes- itation that V. H. S. has never pro- duced a person who is Tommy ' s equal in artistic talent. The fact that he is a genius however does not prevent him from being a good mixer; and, when- ever a group of the fellows is seen in one corner of the asembly, it is cer- tain that Tommy is telling one of the famous stories. Staff Artist; Oratorical. RUTH MAGUIRE Ruth is one of the especially gifted members of the Senior Class. Be- sides having a gentle disposition, her accomplishments are many. Last year we feared we had lost this valu- able asset of our class but she has returned to graduate with us and has lent a willing hand to all class activ- ities. Society Editor. Twenty-five

GENEVA HOLMAN CLIFFORD GItOOME MILDRED WYMAN Geneva, one-half of the Holman Lisle organization, is perhaps the most accomplished culinary artist in the class and because of her reputa- tion she is constantly placed upon the eats committees. She is, however, a willing worker and never shirks a responsibility. Clifford has the distinction of be- ing the smallest boy in our class, but like our Physics proportions, his mind varies inversely with his magnitude. His tireless energy and constant ap- plication have won a place for him near the top in all of his classes. Even though Mildred is a very quiet and modest young lady, she is known as a loyal supporter of the class. But bear in mind, she ' s never gloomy and can appreciate the joke — even at her own expense. Twenty-four

FLORENCE KNAPP Florence is studious and quiet, but always cheerful. If you feel down and out a glance at Florence ' s cheer- ful face will make your spirits rise. Florence has furnished music for sev- eral of the High School entertain- ments. OLIVER LOOMIS Ollie has such an aristrocratic air of conscious superiority that we can never gaze upon him without reflect- ing upon the degeneracy of the rest of the human race. A vivid imagin- ation and an excellent power of ex- pression are the other characteristics with which he has entertained the Vergil Class. Student Council; Oratorical. VERA COLE Whenever any of the under-class- men is in doubt whether it was Caed- man or Cynewulf, who wrote The Phoenix, he just asks Vera. She is undecided whether to be an architect or a teacher of physical culture, but whatever she decides upon, we are sure she will succeed. Twenty-six
