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)

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)

FOURTH YEAR CLASS DANA HOUSE. Two Years Latin—Two Years German. “Always into mischief, Teachers pride and joy, Grey eyes ever twinkling, Mama’s angel boy.” Dana has persuaded the faculty to re- move most of the thorns that beset his path of knowledge, lie has that “tired feeling” when anyone mentions study but regains his full amount of kinetic energy when it comes to mischief. His one weakness is wearing artificial posies. His smile is a winner in itself. ESTHER LONGSWORTH. Assistant Editor of “The Retrospect.” Four Years Latin. “A soul for music, a heart for love.” Esther says she likes to dance but likes to talk better and up to date she hasn’t been able to combine the two. Tennis is also right in her line, and any afternoon in the spring you can find her smashing the balls over the net. She has always taken an active part in school affairs. HAROLD FISHER. Four Years Latin. “My days are spent in arguments My nights in planning them.” Harold has an enormous lung capacity for argument and has become popular as a time killer, lie began his high school education with the '14 “bunch,” but learn- ing that there was a better crowd in school waited for us to catch up with him. His chief faults are: his abbreviat- ed haircuts, his boisterous laugh, and his ability to give information on any sub- ject. Next. HELEN COUCH. Two Years Latin—Two Years German. “Precious things are done up in small packages.” Here is the “Tiny Tim” of our class. She has black hair and big brown eves, which flash fire when she is provoked by- anyone. Helen is capable of making a good deal of noise when necessary. She will walk a mile in the rain to tell a teach- er that he didn’t grade her high enough in a test. (Page Twenty-one)
