FOURTH YEAR CLASS KONETA GIBBS. Class Artist. Two Years Latin—Two Years German. As prone to mischief, as able to per- form it.” Koncta’s temper gave way one day in Civic class, while discussing Gibbs’ avenue, the street upon which she lives. She stopped the discussion by saving: We own that street. She is good na- tured, full of fun, and always ready to li ten to an amusing story. She is the only girl artist in our class. ALMA FISHER. Four Years German. “She has the key of knowledge.” Alma’s middle name should have been Mathematics, for that is her favorite study: and we believe she knows as much about it as old Isaac Newton. She is a good student in other subjects and has always done her duty while with us. She b pe haps not the best known in the class hut to her friends she is a good, faithful companion. DELLA BURDEN. I wo A ears Latin Two Years Commercial. I trust and am at peace.” Della is always willing to listen, but when she speaks, what she says always amounts to something. She never wastes a minute in school and so has time for a multitude of outside duties. She is a sweet-tempered and sympathetic girl whose friendship is well worth cultivat- ing. JENNIE BURNFIELD. Four Years Latin. I live in a crowd of jollity.” The most exciting thing that we have ever seen Jennie do is to laugh at some- one s joke. Besides her school work she has a very important avocation. She is an authority on dressmaking. She never spends too much time on her lessons, just enough to get them before going to class. (Page Nineteen)

I■■i MORITZ CLAUSING. Class Poet. Two Years Latin—Two Years German. “We're glad he came to town. Moritz has never been known to at- tend to anybody’s business but his own. He has never caused the teachers any an- noyance and is one of the best humored fellows in the class. Webster isn't much ahead of him when it comes to orations, lie has much outside work to do, and so we suppose he composes most of his poems while following theplow, as did his patron saint Burns. ALMA ELLIOTT. Two Years Latin—Two Years Commer- cial. “For nature made her what she is, but never made such another.” Alma has lived in Wapakoneta until this last year when she moved to Jackson Center. This does not hinder her having a good time with her old “bunch.” In the class room she assumes a quiet, and timid attitude, 'though always in for a good time out-ide of school; which makes her well liked by all. MARIE McBRIDE. Two Years Latin—Two Years German. “Her smile is sunshine and her heart is gold.” Marie’s home is in Santa Fe but she has been going to school with us for four years. She is a quiet, retiring little girl who is afraid that her social engagements will interfere with her studies. She has a winning smile which captivates the hearts of all of us, and she is a friend to everyone who meets her. ALICE KATTERHEINRICH Three Years Latin—Two Years German. “As quiet as a mouse is she. And yet no trap has caught her.” After completing her course at the New Knoxville High School, Alice continued her studies at Wapakoneta High. Her chosen field is music, in which we expect great things of her. She has taken her place in the orchestra and has the dis- tinction of being the only music teacher in our class. (Page KiRhtecp)

FOURTH YEAR CLASS WALTER ANDERSON. Two Years Latin—Two Years Commer- cial. “liy Jove, I'm not covetous for gold.” This handsome young fellow reminds us of the song, For lie’s a Jolly Good Fellow.” Always appreciates a good joke and ever ready with another of his own. He is everlastingly arguing or bluffing, lie has an extensive vocabulary which he is ready to use at any time. His ability as a cartoonist will surely bring him success. CECIL MILLER. Joke Editor of The Retrospect. Two Years Latin—Two Years Commer- cial. “Come quench thy blushes.” Cecil has the funniest little giggle that ever was. It never fails to arouse the pupils from their studies. Sis” is al- ways ready for a good time, and she can enjoy herself wherever she is, even in the classroom. Her optomistic nature has made her one of the most popular girls in the class among both boys and girls. HAROLD MILLER. Business Manager of “The Retrospect.” Two Years German—Three Years Man- ual Training. “Nowhere so busy a man as he there was.” And yet he seemed busier than he was.” One day Harold put his collar in a carpet bag and started for Wapakoneta from Dayton. He arrived here just as we were entering the Senior Year. There was much rejoicing and we regreted that he had not come sooner. When not at a show or chasing a fair attraction he could be found engaged in his great charitable work; that is, getting ads for our annual. LILLIA WEIFENBACH. Two Years German—Two Years Com- mercial. “Just a little maid from our Blume High, Quiet and pleasant and a triffle shy, Can accomplish much, if she but try.” Here is a kind-hearted Senior who is willing to give any information required concerning the lesson. She is good in all her studies, but a “shark” in Commercial. She is earnest and faithful in the smallest details of her work, and finds her chief recreation in doing “little acts of kind- ness.” (Page Twenty)
