VICTOR MORRIS Four Years Latin. “Speak when you’re spoken to, but very little then.” Victor just came to us this year. The general impression is that he is so shy, that we wonder why he does not become frightened at his own soft voice. He has been an earnest worker while here. EMMA METZ Two Years Latin—Two Years German Glee Club: “Quality Street,” “She'll teach school a part of her life, Then someone will claim her for his wife.” Emma is as conscientious as the day is long. She never neglected her studies and therefore will graduate with no little honor. She is of the quiet, modest type. MARGARET NICHOLS Three Years Latin—Commercial Course. Girls Basket Ball Team. “Good nature and good sense must ever join.” You seldoff see Margaret without Ethel. 1 wonder where you could find two better friends? She is a good-natured and sympathetic girl, who has captivated the heart of one of the opposite sex. AGNES NEWMIER Four Years German. Glee Club; Orchestra: “Quality Street.” “She seemed a part of joyous spring.” Xo one could dream that Agnes is a Senior just to l ok at her child-like face. She is a cheerful and pleasant girl and is always ready for a good time and fun. 28

GRACE MYERS. Two Years Latin—Commercial Course. “For she was just the quiet kind, Whose nature never varies.’’ Grace is a very thoughtful and modest girl. She is earnest in what she does and serious when she does it. She has won the admiration of her class- mates while here. agnes McCullough Two Years Latin—Two Years German. “Her good temper is like a sunny day, It sheds its brightness everywhere.” Agnes recites in a slow manner as though it was a bore. She has been a good student, but be- neath her thoughtful face frivolity and mischief lurk. HELEN MERKLE Two Years German—Commercial Course. ‘‘Friends sprang up along her way.” In school Helen plays the quiet, modest role, but we all know that this is only put on, for out of school she is a jolly companion. Helen has had to take exams, because of her chewing gum. VERNON MILLER. Four Years Latin. Debating Society; “Quality Street.” “Although his words are very few, They're fraught with wisdom through and through.” Another one of our accomplished debaters. Vernon certainly has conquered the contents of all his textbooks. His lessons are always prepared, he never bluffs and never gets excited. 27

MARY ORPHAL Two Years German—Commercial Course. “Quality Street.” “A merry heart goes all the day.” She certainly lives up to this little saying, being one of our jolliest girls. While she is the very embodiment of jollity and fun, she is, of course, a good worker. 29 HELEN READ Three Years Latin—Commercial Course. Basket Ball Team; “Quality Street.” “Helen wears always a cheery smile, Nothing her good-natured temper can rile.” Strangely, her smile never grows tiresome, nor loses its charm. No matter what’s the circumstance, she takes the optimist’s view. Kind and lovable, she is one of our most generous girls. LEE NAUS Two Years Latin—Two Years German Base Ball Team; “Quality Street.” “Among the fairer sex he’ll be, As sure as one and two are three.” In base ball Lee finds his greatest pleasure, and here he has attracted a good bit of attention. He has not hurt himself with much studying but his natural ability will no doubt carry him successfully through life. CHARLES PARLETTE Two Years Latin—Two Years German . Base Ball Team: Quality Street.” “When joy and duty clash, Let duty go to smash.” Charles has gone through High School doing about as he pleased in everything and getting into no end of trouble. He is especially noted for his cute expressions. Altogether a good-natured chap.
