ROSEBUD 21 Libbie Buchanan Libbie is without a doubt the shyest and most ambitions girl of her class. She is very alert and facing duty, doing not only the best for herself, but Libbie is always ready and anxious to help her classmates. We cannot over- look her great efforts put forth to complete her course. Many times she has walked, in stormy weather, to Corunna depot, then boarded the train for Waterloo, where she cheerfully wrought out the many problems put before her. Estelle Wiltrout It is impossible to give Estelle a worthy write-up since his last four years have been so full of ‘‘all-sorts.’? His jokes and tricks have furnished merri- ment and have made these last four years one continual laugh for the class. Nevertheless we must forget his lesser character and look to his rare ability as an excellent student, actor, and athlete, not forgetting the important parts he played in aiding the H. S. Chorus, and society. His ‘‘greatest’’? ambition is to drive seven miles east of Corunna every Sunday night, rain or shine, and entertain a girl of class 715. His greater ambition is to become a lawyer. Lastly and probably most important is his ‘‘great” ambition, which is to splash dish-water, play in pie dough and in short be chief kitchen manager. Lynn Crooks Lynn, our genial classmate, is a Senior whose place will be hard to fill next year. Throughout the four years he has been an active worker both in society and class werk, piloting it through a successful career. His ever ready smile, beautiful hair, and winning manners have made him a favorite with all, not excepting the lady teachers, and Senior girls. Lynn has done much for the Athletics Association, but too bad for Lynn, his efforts have been in vain in the struggles with Cupid, for he just recovers from one love wound when, OUCH! pierces another. Fred Eberly ‘“Wb’’ is one of the charter members of dear old °16. Twelve years ago he was badly frightened by living through his first day of school. He is a very loyal member of the class, always in for fun and at the same time not neglecting his studies. There has never been a class party but what Fred has been right there looking out for his share of the ‘‘eats.’’ He is noted for being a great tease as every member of the class will testify. He is in his height of glory when he is making life miserable for someone else. Almost all of us have sworn at some time to get revenge, but he has never been properly ‘‘cleaned up’’ on. Ile, as our Business Manager, has done his best, working hard all the time. He is a basket-ball player and is student manager of the Basket-ball Association. He goes at his playing as whole-heartedly and with as grim determination as he does with his work. Myrtle Wiltrout Myrtle is one of those who come from Corunna. She has been with us through our four years’ work, and has been a willing and steady student, always preparing her studies and helping all he can. She is rarely absent

Senior Class History Four years ago, when we were green, on the west side of the assembly room, we were seen. We were just thirty-six, but studying Latin and mathe- matics, caused two to lose their feeble grip, and from the round of the ladder slip. During the summer and all its heat, others still got cold feet, and when we entered school at fall, our class numbered thirty in all. That year passed and we neither lost nor gained, so we parted in the springtime rain. Ah! next we were Juniors great. Our numbers were just twenty-eight. Twenty-seven had been in our Freshman pranks, but one boy was added to our ranks. Thru that year we sure did speed, as upon a charging steed; and when this joyful year came to an end, we had three long months of vacation to spend. On September 6, 1916, we gathered once more, and our numbers were just twenty-four. Twenty-three had been Juniors before, but there was Shorty to make twenty four,and as the Seniors continued to drive, Nina stepped in to make twenty-five. And now we’ve traveled all the way, next comes our graduation day. This ends the history of our four glad years of shining days, and now come to the parting of the ways. LYNN IMHOFF.

22 ROSEBUD and never tardy. She is a good musician and is always willing to help out on the literary programs with her musical talents. Her future is rather unde- cided, although she has been preparing to become a stenographer. But what- ever she does, always the members of 716 will join in extending her their best wishes. Hazel Flynn Now we have it. Hazel, the most serious girl of the Senior class, is a very studious girl. Well, why shouldn’t she be for we know that she is con- tinually preparing herself to be an excellent housekeeper and helpful com- panion. Of course the class cannot help but feel greatly shehted since her heart is elsewhere. She loves to watch the little diamond and think of the one who claims both her and the ring. Nealla Becker By her bravery and grit, Nealla has pushed her way through the ranks and now is recognized as the jolliest and most congenial of the Senior girls. She is right on deck when anything is stirring and delights in teasing Fresh- men boys. She is often aimed at by Cupid but seldom finds herself the victim of his arrows. Nealla has been gifted with an excellent alto voice and with it she has been a great help to the society and chorus. Lynn Imhoff Lynn, or ‘‘Ben Johnson,’’ is ever plugging away at duties and never gets the tired feeling. So he works hard all day and stays up late at night just to find a few ‘‘spare moments’’ to write poetry. Too bad for Jinny that poets can’t get rich because, unfortunately, his head is full of riddles and rhymes. Even though he has red hair, one of our sunny haired girls has opened her heart to him and now Lynn secretly plans on putting his feet under father-in- law’s table and take life easy. Lynn has put forth untiring efforts as Literary editor and has furnished a big portion of annual material. Roy Rohm If you look west about 7:35 o'clock every morning, you can almost always see Roy coming over the hill west of town, with dinner box and several books. He appears to be a perfect angel and in fact most all people think he is, but he isn’t. He takes a leading part in athletics and finds much pleasure in teasing the girls and Miss Kroft. Alys McIntosh Alys has been a capable and ambitious student in school work. She has been a cheerful companion and willing worker, ever applying herself to her books. Alys doesn’t know much about playing Bridge, but just the same we know she has been eut out for a teacher and will be successful we are sure. She is everywhere in one minute and surely suecessful in changing her expression to suit the occasion as laughing when I laugh, crying when you cry.
