8 THE WEATHER VANE ETHAN HESCOCK Ethan Hescock is known to the world and himself as “Tarzan the mighty. In the fall he holds down a good job as end on the football squad; in winter the basketball squad knows him well, but in spring—ah that’s where he shines. Just go out and watch track practice and see him do his seventeen laps, or clear four feet, eleven inches, and anything you like. We’ll say Ethan's a good letter man all right. RUTH HOLVERSON At the beginning of our Junior year Ruth came from Durand. 111. to become one of our class. Not much was heard of our new classmate last year. This year she played on the Senior Basketball Team and won her numerals. Ruth is not going to be in Westfield after graduation. She likes the East but prefers Illinois and is going there soon. COLERIDGE HUTSON We have just recently become acquainted with this young gentleman, who for two years of his High School career remained a dormant character; but we see it all now. His quiet soul was awaiting inspiration to bring him forth, and the mysterious factor was dramatics. Now. however, Hutson is awake to the world and we feel that his future is very promising. RUTH JACKSON Ruth Jackson has passed successfully through four vears of high school but so modest, scarcely any but her most intimate friends knew of her existence. Nevertheless this modest person has not allowed her more aggressive classmates to leave her behind EDWIN F. JONES Dinkus” glided into Westfield High in T8 as a “shadow,” and, judging from circumstantial evidence, is going out as one. “Our Shadow played on the class football teams of ’20, ’21 ; was chief electrician of the Senior Play ’22; and is enjoying a berth on the varsity track team ’22.

the weather vane 7 ELIZABETH EVANS Elizabeth Evans, generally known as Sis”, came flying into High School with us in 101S. She has succeeded in remaining with us the entire time. All four years we have found her on the class basketball team as forward, helping us to secure numerous victories. She is gay and jolly and always on the spot. MARGARET FA ULKNER Margie, in her even happy-go-lucky way, has glided through four years of High School. She was treasurer for part of her first year and vice-president her Sophomore—off and on for the four years she played on her class basketball team. Now she is ready to graduate and we hope her good luck will carry her far. LLOYD GALLAGHER Lloyd Gallagher blew into our High School in 'jr. He started off like a race horse” as President of the harmonious Glee Club in '22 and next as business manager of the famous School Magazine. In the athletic branch he stood not like a lone tree on a hill, taking part in football, baseball, and champ basketball team of '22. We hope he will continue to excel in the future. FRANCES GEN DALE A real friend is Frances Gendall,—a friend of whom one will think as one who conscientiously performed her duties large and small, who did what she could to oblige her fellow beings, seeking no reward for her services, shrinking, in her modesty from the limelight. May she herself ever have friends as grateful as those whom she has made here! EDGAR HARRISON Fat came to us front Garwood in ’18. Since that time he has been active in all academic work and has given part of his time to class football, in '20 and ‘21. From West-field High he will go to Columbia— good luck “Fat.”

THE WEATHER VANE 9 EDWIN A J )NES “Weeds,” landed in High School with »ne of her characteristic jumps, and lias been jumping ever since, especially in basketball where she shone as star on the varsitx for two years. This year she was President of (iirls A. A. She is conceded as one of the best all-around sports in W. H. S. In whatever she does or wherever she goes we know she’ll be a favori’e. MARY KAY This young lady has. during her High School career, fully lived up to her reputation as class giggler. She is possessed with great linguistic ability. Besides her knowledge of French and Spanish she converses fluently in English (see Miss Hanimel). She is of an extremely changeable disposition evidenced by the frequence with which her brain fluctuates. EDWARD W. LLOYD Our ever smiling “parson” came to us from the grammar school to take up his burden in high school as : assistant manager of football 20. manager of football ’21. stage manager of' Senior Play ’22. Superseding all his achievements is his ability as class humorist. RICHARD LUCAS “Dick” as we call him. hailed from the wild and wooly west. He’s a hard boy. shining little in the first two laps but blossoming forth in the third as police inspector in “Spreading the Xews and in the fourth as “Mr Wheeler in “Clarence.” Dick’s great ambition is to be laz? King since everv type of instrument is familiar with his touch. RICHARD MAGNER This sober gentleman of dignified hearing has not graced 11s with his presence for long. But since his debut in November he has been on the front lines of action; especially has he figured prominently in many athletic events. Above all. however, we have noted his skill in driving a Dodge. But we wish him success whether he travels by Dodge or on foot.
