LAVERA RUCK La era is another one of the many girls of Blume High who expects to carry out a commercial career. Considering the training they have had and their own possibilities, we know that all of them will be successful. Lav era shows expertness in this line. MYRTLE RUCK Here is a happy girl who makes friends of all with whom she comes in contact. Her friends are many, her enemies are few, if she has any. We know that she will continue to make many friends and will keep the old ones, as she has a sunny personality and does not worry others with her troubles- HAROLD SCHERER Another worker! We have many such men in our class; indeed it is quite an exceptional class. Harold is a member of the orchestra, and is winning fame for himself in the school and among the public by his splendid bass voice for he is a member of the Glee Club. HOWARD SCHNELL Staff Play—People are needed to give pep and spice to this old world. If it needs it as badly as we feel it does, Howard is a rare treasure and he and his assets should be carefully guarded by the school-He has no end of energy and a good deal of initiative. We must give him a chance to use it. FRED SCHULER Joke Editor—Here’s a lad with a roguish look and who has real business ability. Fritz can sell “Adds” His popularity among girls as well as boys is incomprehensible. and his appreciation of a good joke makes him very agreeable company. He says, “Laugh and the world laughs with you: knock and you knock alone.” —Fritz laughs! HERBERT SCHULER Herbert seems to have a terrible habit of talking to himself. We haven’t the slightest idea what he says- He seems to be very thoughtful and probably if these thoughts would be brought to light, they might be of great benefit to the inhabitants of the earth. His vein of wit and humor are outstanding, if one attempts to characterize him. Blume Hi 192 7

KENNETH PFAFF Kenneth does not seem to worry about being late, even with a penalty of forty-five minutes tacked on to his school hours. Kenneth is not always behind; to be frank, he keeps up with styles and occupies a high place in society. It has been hinted that for some time he has been guilty of serenading and courting, but the report is not verified. MABEL RINEHART Mabel is a willing worker and the possessor of ambition and persistency to an extent which foretells future success. Yet she is fun-loying and as the world has need of a recipe for the correct combination of mirth and industry we hope that Mabel will soon see fit to divulge the secret- BERTHA RAMGE Bertha is very resolute in her work, but scarcely gives us a chance to discover her plans for the future or even the present for she has decided upon her work and will accomplish it. even if she has not put her plans before the public, for she is an ambitious worker. SARRA RITCHIE Joke Editor—-Vivacious and merry is our little joke editor. Sarra loves to know what is going on around her. and gives you the kind of friendship that makes you glad to be alive. She's every inch an optimist as she always looks on the bright side of life. AUBREYROMSHE Behold, a man who will win for himself in this world a place of renown! You can t keep a good man down. Aubrey has shown himself capable of keeping up a good standard of grades in his regular studies and often serves as a teacher in manual training. We suspect that this work will be taken up extensively by Aubrey in the future. HOYLAND ROSTORFER Hoyland is a sweet girl and everybody likes her immensely- She has lofty standards and her efforts are many and varied. She has pretty hair, and this combined with her sunny disposition, makes her very attractive. Hi 192 7- me

m he Retrospect - Class of 192 7 MARIE SCHULER Marie depends on herself and that is why she succeeds in the things she attempts. Very likely stenography will he her work later on. To those who are well acquainted with her, she is an honest-to-goodness companion. LURA SCHUMANN Lura lets her light shine among her fellow men without a doubt, but she certainly does not force it upon them. She puts it up to us to see her possibilities and though she seems quite shy, dare we admit that we have seen her step out with ? BERTHA SMITH Bertha has proved true to her colors by the good work she has done, and the effort she has put forth. She has never caused a disturbance of any kind, as «t has always been her desire to attend strictly to her own business. Many friends wish her a happy future- MARION SMITH Marion is one of the nicest young men who came to us from the rural districts. He has a pleasing personality that has won a spot for him in our hearts. Marion has done good work and has been punctual and regular in his attendance. THELMA SMITH Thelma is one of our fair blondes. She is a splendid young lady and will make happy the man who chooses her. Her aim is to please, and she accomplishes this desire. HELEN STANTON Helen has the honor of having been elected the best dressed girl in school- She is scrupulously neat and industrious in her work. Helen is liked not only by her fellow students, but also by some in our rival city; by one “he” in particular. S-o-s-Blume Hi 1927
