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.

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.

10 THE WEATHER VANE MARRY MKGLAUGHLIN Full of vim, vigor, and vitality he, figuratively speaking, bounced into High School. School seems to have taken none of this bubbling spirit away from him and he goes on with the same jovial outlook. Doubtless this boundless energy will do much to procure him a place in the world of business or in whatever way of life he enters. JOHX L. MILLER. JR. Spot, the Elizabeth commuter, forsakes our grand old institution for other parts after working diligently that he might achieve this end. Spot was a member of the original M. S. S. basketball team, and as guard helped win a championship for '22. In baseball Spot is a star of the first magnitude, and as first baseman is unequalled. To show our appreciation we named him Cap’t Miller. JULIA MORROW Julia came to us two years ago after a year at a Massachusetts school. For two seasons she has been one of the star players on the class basketball team. Her pep and winning way has made her popular not only with her class but with all who know her. VIRGINIA NICHOLAS Dreamy and indifferent. Virgie is, nevertheless, an essential member of our class. By representing '22 in basketball in ’18 and ’ig, she received her numerals. A care free student, yet a clever thinker. Not noticeably active: but then, every class must have its social end. EUGENE OTTO We do not find him a gentleman «»f unlimited accomplishments, but what he does is marked in excellence. As to tickling the keys of a typewriter or stringing a violin along we know that none in W. H. S. can surpass him.
