FOURTH YEAR CLASS EDWIN RAMGE. Two Years Latin—Two Years German. What shall I lo to he famous?” Edwin is one of those breezy, slangy individuals who is very proficient in the art of rapid speaking. Because of this he gives us an impression of great knowl- edge. He likes to bother the teachers and anyone else he can. He is extremely in- terested in wireless telegraphy and we expect him to develope into an Edison II. ALICE McAVOY. Two Years Latin—Two Years Commer- cial. ‘‘Variety is the very spice of life That gives it all its flavor.” No one ever saw Alice worried, and you ought to hear her laugh. Although she claims not to show • favoritism to any of her studies she must be especially fond of Solid Geometry as she was encored for it the second time. She is a light-hearted care-free girl who believes in having a good time wherever she is. LEO HEMMERT. Four Years German. “Out upon it. I have loved Three whole days together; And am like to love three more If it prove fair weather.” Leo is a sturdy fellow with jovial dis- position and handsome features. It was once rumored that he had a serious thought, but investigation proved this to be false. His grin means nothing but high spirits, and he can drive away the blues in five minutes. His affections change directions so often that it is hard to tell who the real girl is. EDITH BAKER Two Years Latin—Two Years German. “There was a soft and pensive grace. A cast of thought upon her face.” Ever since Edith has entered high school she has been a diligent pupil. She is a quiet little lass, whom to know is to love. A smiling countenance she always carries wherever she is. She is always ready to help her friends and has a love for all that is genuine. (Page Fifteen)

FOURTH YEAR CLASS GUY LOTRIDGE. Two Years Latin—Two Years Commer- cial. I turn to go: my feet are set to seek the pleasant fields and farms.” Someone said that they thought that Guy was such a quiet and gentlemanly hoy. We acknowledge the gentlemanly characteristic but you see most of his friends look wise when you call him quiet. He is always on hand when the midnight crew has a meeting. Ilis ex- perience of about a year ago has left him rather cynical of the opposite sex. MILDRED MILLIETTE. Four Years Latin. Full many a friendship has this maid begun, Of ladies many, but of men only one.” E in Latin, E in Physics, E in Civics— Oh what s the use? You may always be sure of hearing “Miliy’s” name in the list whether it is for programs or any other kind of school activity. Her winning ways have brought her many friends. W hen she finds her sphere we expect her to bring fame to our class. ROY WINEMILLER. Two Years German—Two Years Com- mercial. “They talk much who have least to say.” Roy has gone through school without making much noise or raising much dust. He is not known very well outside the classroom and even there is rather incon- spicuous. licing one of the quiet fellows and never intruding he has won friends, l ie seems to think girls a menacing calam- ity as he is seldom seen talking to one. His penmanship is the best in the class. LEONA FOLKER. Two Years Latin—Two Years German. “A gracious manner and a winning smile.” Leona has other duties—including writing a letter to “him”—nevertheless has kept pace with her classmates. She will always be remembered by us as a very sensible and agreeable girl. She has the ability to make friends and no one has ever been heard to speak of her in any way but the best. (Page Fourteen)

FOURTH YEAR CLASS HELEN CROFT. Literary Editor of “The Retrospect.” Two Years Latin—Two Years German. “I know it is a sin for me to sit and grin. Helen simply could'n endure rules, and so had to take a scat among the Freshies.” Although a good student she is always worrying about her grades. She is one of the class who has literary aspirations and can talk about books like a highbrow. She is a staunch believer in “Equal Rights.” GERTRUDE ELLIOTT. Two Years Latin—Two Years Commer- cial. “Her very foot has music in it, as she comes up the stairs. Gertrude is always ready to perform some deed of mischief and just as ready to escape the punishment. She never bothers herself about anything and is never known to be in a hurry. She is not in love with her text books, and usually disposes of them as soon as pos- sible. NORMA HUMMEL. Two Years Latin—Two Years Com- mercial. “’I ho:e who know her best like her best. Norm! cares more for outside affairs than for her studies. She seems a quiet, demure girl to most of 11s, but gay and frivolous to those who know her well. She is fond of keeping secrets and does not even tell her friends. If there is any- thing wrong in Mr. Gardner's class and he doesen't know whom to blame it on, I get it every time. FLORENCE HEINTZ. Four Years Latin. “ Though prodigal to our ranks, yet none the less welcome. “Flo is a graduate of Jackson Center High School and has proven herself a friend to those deserving such a maiden’s friendship. She is a girl who is always in the best of humor, which proves her disposition is sunny. She loves her studies, and we believe she finds enjoy- ment in them. (Page Sixteen)
