Studious, good-natured, industrious, quiet and yet full of 'pep” is the best way we can describe John. Always present, yet never heard. John has been one of the best students of our Class.

6 THE GARNET AND WHITE (Class Jinll William Thomas Baird Commercial ‘'Happy am I. from care im free. Why aren't they all as contented as me.” Class Treasurer. Ill: Senior Adviser. IV. Bill is one of our Commercialites without whom our class would be incomplete. If we forget everything else about Bill, we can never forget his laugh. He has a laugh all his own with which we are all familiar and perhaps many of the teachers have become acquainted with it. Bill intends to take up a trade after leaving High School. We wish him success in what- ever he undertakes. Hervey Ballou Scientific “To those who know him best a friend most true and hearty. Swimming Team. II: Track. II, III. IV: Dramatic Club. III.

We wish him success in the future. Charles Bernard Beidler General “A quiet chap who does his work and does not talk about it. Orchestra. I. II. III. IV: Typewriting Certificate. Ill: Type writing Medal. IV: Radio Club. Ill: Commerical Club. IV. Bernard is one of those silent boys, but the silent boys are often the best. There is perhaps a reason for this: Bernard is a radio fan. and radio is enough to drive anyone to silence or even to hermitage. Bernard may be silent, but he makes up for that on his violin and typewriter, the two making enough noise for three. Bernard intends to take a Post-Graduate course next year. Valerie Bicking General “Ever ready with a merry joke. She’s sure to cure your blues.” Girls' Glee Club. I. II. III. IV: Health Crusaders. I. II: Science Club. Ill: Orchestra. Ill; Dramatic Club. III. IV: Mixed Chorus IV.: Senior Adviser. IV: History Club. IV. We all wonder just how High School will progress next year without Val?’’ We know we shall miss her because she’s so jolly, and so we know the rest of H. S. will too. Val’’ is as cheerful as can be: of course, there are time when she’s not: but no secrets are mentioned here. Val expects to go to Normal next year, and we all wish her the best success and happiness in her new school.

IV: President III: History Club IV. Clifford is one of the quiet members of our Class, who possesses, nevertheless, a subtle humor that makes him a fav- orite with those who really know him.

Clifford expects to attend Normal School next year.

He has the reputation of never having lost an argument. His sunny smile has made for him many friends. He expects to take a position. Mildred S. Byers General ”I am a part of all that I have met.” “Mildred” has been with us for four years, but we don’t see much of her. as she is taking a General Course, and most of her subjects are over in the Commercial Department, where she has done good work.
