RUTH KLUG “I love to laugh, I love to play.” “Demure” is the adjective which fits Ruth like a glove. Ruth is espe¬ cially fond of giggling in class, in fact she always is sure to make her presence known in this way. CHARLES KNOST “The pleased musician bowed and smiled.” As director of the Tunerville Band, Charlie has trained his boys so per¬ fectly that they have to be knocked down a few times before they can re¬ member to stop. Success to you “Red.” MARY KOEHL “A slight girl.’’ “Mickey” is as quiet as a mouse in school, but good gracious, she is just the opposite outside. She toe dances you know. KATHRYN KOLTER “Hail to thee, blithe spirit!” “Kate” is in on everything where the school is represented. She made her great hit in “Peggy O’Neill.” She is also an enthusiastic player of tennis and is a member of the class team. ARTHUR McPHERON “I never stood on ceremonies.” Arthur is another member of our class who is from Buckland. He likes Wapak school or he surely would not come here to finish his course. HARVEY McPHERON “That boy with the grave mathemati¬ cal look.” Harvey just joined us this year, coming, like Arthur, from Buckland. He has made many friends during his brief stay. 4

BERNARD HOUTZ “In things athletic he doth shine.’’ Behold our basketball star! “Bernie” cares more for athletics than for any¬ thing else, unless it is teasing the lady members of the faculty. MARY HOWELL “Her submissive ways.” Mary is one who goes about her work quietly but accomplishes a great deal in the end. It is this type of girl that makes our class worth while. REGINA JOHNSON “None but an editor knows an edi¬ tor’s cares.’’ Regina is completing her high school course in three years. As our editor-in-chief she has made the An¬ nual “hum” on to a big success. MARJORIE KENTNER “Be whatever you will but yourself first of all.” Marjorie has been with us all through our school life. Her highest ambition is to become a school teacher. HILDA KAH “Sweet piece of bashful maiden art.’’ We have any number of quiet peo¬ ple in our class. Hilda is one of them,, too, as those who know her can tes¬ tify. ORVEL KILLIAN “Oh! perfumed suitor spare thy smiles.” Here’s another bright and shining light in athletics. He is not only a mediber of the basketball team but on the football squad. And that isn’t all —he is assistant editor-in-chief.

MARIE MERKLE “She doeth little kindnesses.” ' 4; r y m % Wjr, Marie never wastes a minute in school, that is why she always has her lessons. She insists on smiling to everyone. VIRGIL MERTZ “Mamma’s angel boy.” Why, oh, why do the teachers talk so much to him in the study hall? He is perfectly angelic and we see no reason for their acting thus. NORMA MILEY “Many a word my tongue has uttered” Norma likes to talk but she likes to laugh better. It is her talkative¬ ness that has caused her to get called down. ROY MILLER “A man of such a genial mood.” Mary found an able assistant car¬ toonist in “Davy”. Roy has many friends in school who wish him suc¬ cess after he leaves Blume High. KURT MUELLER “I’m as wild as wild can be.” As drummer in the Tunerville Band “Dutch” made a big hit with his sailor jigging. Kurt ' s friendly smile has won many friends during his high school career. EDWARD MUSSER “There are greater men than I have lived, but I don’t believe it.’’ “Ed” is strong on argument. When he knows a thing he knows he knows he knows it and lets others know that he know r s it.
