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.

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

FARRELL RITCHIE Two Years Latin—Two Years German. “Quality Street.” “If you don’t know—guess.” Farrell is a great bluffer and it is really sur- prising that the teachers think he is naturally “bright.” He is a good-natured chap, and has the quality of making friends easily. IDA STROMINGER Two Years German—Commercial Course. “Why are’t they all contented like me?” Did you know she was in school? Your igno- rance is really excusable because she is so quiet, she almost escapes notice. Ida is very diligent and never wastes a minute in school. KITTY STROMINGER Two Years German—Commercial Course. “The silent countenance often speaks.” Kitty is gentle and unobtrusive, but not quite so timid as her sister. Being kind-hearted she has always been willing to give or receive information about the lessons. WILHELMINA SCHOONOVER Two Years Latin—Two Years German. Glee Club; Double Quartette. “Come and trip it as you go, On the light fantastic toe.” Billie is our social butterfly. She has a keen sense of humor, a gift of song, and a giit of enjoy- ment of life. When out for a lark, she’s the jollicst person imaginable to have along. 30
