L aeAve»,’ PORiEfthl ERNEST S. GRISWOLD “Ernie” “Ernie” has a grin with just enough deviltry in it to arouse his teacher ' s ire. The fact is that we recognize the grin first, “Ernie” afterwards.

A.; Honor Society; Chemistry Club; Business Board of Class Book; Junior Usher; Color Com¬ mittee. Never tardy. Antioch. Engineer.

S.; Ingleside Club; Choir; Junior Glee Club; Girls’ Business Club, Executive Committee, Fund Committee; Essayist; Class Book Business Board. Secretary.
