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)

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 WILBUR NAGEL. Two Years Latin—Two Years German. Not that I love study less but that I love fun more.” Wilbur has a knack of starting a good rough house and then falling back upon his natural dignity to sustain himself against suspicion. hen there is a good time in view you can always count on him. lie occasionally draws a little ham- mer and taps everything in sight. He has two hobbies—gas engines (surely you’ve seen him driving that car) and music. MARIE CROW. Two Years Latin—Two Years German. “Very precise is she, and never, never talks about the boys.” Marie is studious and therefore gets along well with her teachers. A pleasant smile, a cheerful disposition, and an ever readiness to help others, have made many friends for her. She has time for school activities although she has much outside work. We wish her the best of luck in whatever she does hereafter. RICHARD SIBERT. Class Artist. Four Years German. “A patient man is a patent for a king. Richard slipped in softly when no one was looking and has never been guilty of being a rowdy or of getting into trouble. He knows when to sit still, keep his mouth closed, and look wise. e have no record of any jokes at his expense but that doesn't mean that he has no sense of humor. He is very much interested in wireless telegraphy. RUTH HOWELL. Four Years Latin. “Full of wit and humor, briming oe'r with fun, Entertaining all the time, with some joke or pun.” Ruth certainly is not troubled with bashfulness or timidity. High School life does not seem to fully satisfy her, in- asmuch, as she has her room engaged at Ohio Wesleyan. We all know that this place is not very far from Columbus. She has never been able to banish the idea that marriage should be a girls highest ambition. (Page Twenty-two)
