ROSEBUD 23 Nina Whaley Nina, the lates addition to our class, hails from Blakesley, a tiny burg somewhere in Ohio. Though Nina ha been with us only in our Senior year, she has so successfully woven her threads in with ours that it is difficult to believe other than that she has been with us always. Nina graduated from the Edon High School in 1915, but feeling that she, only a girl of seventeen might become a more capable teacher by attending our school, decided to join us, making our enrollment twenty-five. Nina divides her time about equally between tatting, domestic science and a Senior boy. Russel Strow Russel has spent only the last four years of his life with us, yet during that time, we have found him to be a very faithful classmate and always does the work assigned him. Russel came from the country and so faithfully applied himself to the High School duties that he has led the class of 716 in its famous career. To him might the well known quotation from Shakes- peare’s Hamlet be quoted, ‘‘Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.”’ Fay Miser The fact that Fay has spent her life in the country is plainly revealed by her cheerful disposition, her famous smile and great ambition that only comes to country students. Her work ranks among the best in the class and she always goes about her work in a cheerful and willing way. Her kind and helpful disposition has won for her the friendship of all those who know her. Reba Walker Upon her is rightfully bestowed the love and admiration of all the class. Reba is ever the same and daily wears the cheerful smile that probably won for her the ring she so proudly wears on her left hand. Reba is preparing herself to comfort one who to her is. ‘‘the best man in all the world.’’ Reba is very successful as a musician and has for these four years taken a prominent part in the High School chorus and Ciceronian programs. Edna Blanchard Edna is one of the most popular girls of the W. H. 8. both in class and society work. She seems proud of the fact that she comes from the town of Waterloo. Her motto is ‘‘Hold Onto This Guy Till I Get a Better One.’’ She is aiming to be faithful to ‘‘Gush,’’ of class 715 and as a reminder wears his class ring. Arthur Smith Arthur, famous for his gentle voice and teasing disposition, fills a promi- nent place in his class of 16. Altho he is a lover of pretty girls, he is quite faithful to his little college chum. He is very successful in bluffing, especially when his ambition failed too soon to prepare for him his lessons. Arthur is an excellent violinist and by his musical talents he has won the admiration of many people.

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.

24 ROSEBUD Joe Bowman ‘‘Shakey’’ has proven himself a most faithful member of the class of 716. Joe has filled a prominent place in the society programs and High School chorus. His quiet disposition and manly ways have won for him scores of friends, especially girls. And let us not forget to mention his excellency as a musician. His excellent manner in which he manages the piano and violin has brought him in contact with many people. Florence Strow ‘Blo,’ as she is sometimes called, is necessary to the maintenance of the class spirit. She is a jolly companion and has been a help not only to the class as a whole, but she has hepled her classmates individually. She has well been known as a geometry and Latin shark. Her modesty and gentle disposition have made her the mark of admiration, yet she has so successfully struggled with Cupid that she has adopted as her motto, ‘‘No Wedding Bells For Me.’’ Florence is intending to be a schoo] teacher and surely we expect her to be successful. Vera Newcomer Vera began her existence on a farm north of Waterloo and entered Waterloo School in the fifth grade. During her High School hfe, she has served her class loyally, and has been very prominent in the Ciceronian So- ciety. In fact, it would be almost impossible for the Ciceronians to give her up. She is an earnest worker, both in class affairs and society work, and 1s always ready for a good time. Surely her motto should be: ‘‘ Work While You Work, and Play While You Play.’’ Her favorite occupation is taking snap- shots of her friends, and then presenting them to the Business Manager, who in turn has them printed in the ‘‘Rosebud.’’ She is an excellent elocutionist and has frequently entertained the school with choice readings. Ioa Zonker. loa comes from Corunna but most of her time is spent among her Water- loo friends. She is an earnest advocate of Woman Suffrage, and won in two eertests for essay writing on that subject, one from tke state and one from the High School. loa is a steady and faithful member of her class and has studied hard during her four years here. That she has won a place of merit among her classmates is shown in her election by the class to be Hditor-in-Chief of the Rosebud. The character of work in the annual shows that this honor was bestowed upon the right person. The kind of work she does can best be described by a look at the Rosebud. It speaks for itself. Le Roy Campbell. “Shorty,” or our little shrimp, is decidedly O. K. His spare moments are either spent in teasing or giving gentle ‘‘love” pats. His great success in basket-ball and other athletics insures for him a cozy spot in the dark corner of every senior girl’s heart. He has spent his preceeding three years in the Butler High School, and we seniors consider ourselves fortunate in welcoming him to our class where he has so diligently and cheerfully managed his work
