•3K 3 The Retrospect Class of 1 9 2 7 GLENN LANNING Shall we attempt to describe Glenn? He is short and blonde, with a degree of quietness which gives us little opportunity to judge him. Do not be misled into thinking that he is always silent. When he is out in society, you might be surprised. We have proof of his good nature and ability to take a joke. MARY LUSK If you are feeling gloomy and in need of someone to cheer you up just talk to Mary- The cure is guaranteed. She glides over the rough spots of life with an ease which is the envy of all who know her. She is always jolly and. everywhere you find her, Mary is the life of the crowd. OPAL LYNCH Opal is a cheerful girl and a kind and sympathetic friend. She always has a ready smile for ever one. Though she is quiet in school, we suspect that she is planning great things and will some day win recognition by carrying out these plans. WINONA LYNCH Methinks these silent people hear, sec, and feel things which other people miss. Winona is as quiet as a mouse, most unassuming, and has a careful consideration for those about her. She endeavors to fill her niche in life and does this cheerfully- LEAH MALSTON Leah believes in keeping her thoughts to herself and conducts herself with an air of mystery which is bewildering to one who wishes to bring these thoughts to light. She always attends strictly to her own affairs, yet takes an interest in what is going on about her. LELA MARKER Lela argues in behalf of the yellow race when such an argument is brought up. We suspect that this is merely for the sake of arguing, although she seems very earnest .on the subject. Do not suppose that Lila’s is a one track mind. She has all the greatness that tradition gives to a short person in the words, “Small but mighty.”

Class of 192 7 WILBURT KNERR A little man with a big voice which is capable of penetrating brazen doors and walls of stone. His recitations spiced with humorous expressions and quaint accent are relished by both teachers and pupils. DOROTHY KOCH Dorothy is not a social butterfly, but she's genuine, cheery, steady, and loyal in all of her work. Such qualities mean happiness and success. GEORGE H- KOCH Staff Play—George's mischievousness has given hint an unusual degree of popularity. His mind often wanders away from his studies to more exciting thoughts of basketball and Louise. George is one of those good natured sports who is liked by everyone. CARL KRIEGER Class Play—Carl is a voluble talker and argumentation is his chiefest source of delight except—well, a few' other things. He's pleasant to associate with, is considered an excellent student and we predict a brilliant future for him. ANNABELLE KREITZER Ann is a lump of fun and good nature. Her loquacious disposition has made her one of the most popular girls in our class. This lady of beauty loves to dine, dance, and gossip- OLIVER KUCK Oliver finds real enjoyment in studying all about scientific farming methods. He shows ability in that line and wre feel sure that he will be successful. His manner is kind toward all. B1 ume Hi 192

DOROTHY MARTIN Assistant Editor of Retrospect—Serene, reticient, dignified; a prodigy of “conscience” with whom the fiend never seein” to be at war. There is beneath this calm exterior a vein of humor that lends charm of manner and buoyancy of spirit. MARY E. MASON Staff Play—Dull? No! Slow? No! A man-hater? No! What then? A splendid all-around classmate and friend, bubbling over with good spirits and the joy of living. A veritable rainbow maker. Mary is an example of great happiness in a small package. WILLIAM MAULT Staff Play-—What can be said of one who says so little and moves so quietly as “Willie?” William is not of an opposing nature and seems to escape getting into scrapes, as well as arguments. We wonder how he does it. Willie has for some time been engaged in the study of honey and bees. If any information is wanted, just ask and you will be told all about “honey.” CHARLES MAYER Charles is one of the workers in our class, and we are sure that he will some day make himself known in the business world- He possesses an ability to get a-licad, which foretells future success. We wish him good luck, vet it would take even more than the lack of luck to deter Charles in his purpose. CORA METZ Cora’s course of study has been chiefly in commercial work. She has a desire for pleasure which will aid her in business, and a dignity which some may find bard to surpass. Few persons really know Cora, but to her friends, she is a good, faithful companion. WILMA METZ V iltna is very gentle and unobtrusive, but studious and self-contained. She combines dignity and a pleasant manner in a way whieh makes her a help and corn-tort to her friends. She has been in Blume High School four years, and is a diligent worker, so that her time has been well and pleasantly spent- Blume Hi 1927'
