Jane Fronheiser “She can dance and she can sing, She can do most anything.” One might think, to hear Jane in classes that her sole ambition was that of making “A’s.” However, there is no doubt that she manages to squeeze in every bit of dancing possible, even yielding to its charm during the noon hour. No one blames Jane a bit, but rather admires her for being able to shine in both. Mildred Hammer “And her modest nature and quiet air Show her as good as she is fair.” Mildred seems to be such a mod- est and quiet girl, but many have changed their opinion about her since the Washington trip. Millie was one of the liveliest girls in the crowd—always full of fun and ever ready for excitement. Although Mildred lives away from here, she has been with us four school years. There’s a mutual feeling eoncerning Millie—she likes the school and we all like her. Louiae Hammer “None knew her but to love her.” Slowly but surely Louise has en- twined herself in our hearts, so firmly that we shall never forget her. Always sweet and pleasant, ever ob- liging and generous. She has en- tered into all the activities of the school. Is it any wonder that we hate to lose her? Margaret Jones “Those about her, from her, shall read the perfect ways of honor.” There is no doubt of Peg's success as a student and she has quite an in- terest in all the other phases of school life. Margaret desires to con- tinue her stenographieal work at the Margaret Morrison school and we hope that her desire will be fulfilled.

Rufus Cooper A most senseless and fit man. When Cooper graduates, the tennis team will lost its veteran player. He was chosen Joke Editor so that the Freshmen would get an idea of what a Rood joke is. On the Washington trip, Cooper was the only one to pre- serve the Senior Dignity and there- fore made a good impression upon the feminine usher at a certain show in the city. August Engelhard! “A marvelous man for his size.” Augie furnishes amusement ab- solutely free of charge wherever he is. School life would be drudgery without Augie to give it a little color. Strange to say he seems best able to display his wit to the most advantage among French people (10:15 to 11). Augie is quick not only at leaving classes but in classes. We hope that his departure from us will not mean that we will be deprived of his mirth and radiated good nature forever. Ernest Engelhardt “A man he seems of cheerful yester- days and confident tomorrows.” Ernie certainly has blossomed out in his Senior year and revealed un- numerable hidden virtues, especially that of a debater. Little did we sus- pect in former years that we had with us an orator, debater, and best of all. an all-around good sport. The school will be gaining something by having hin» with it next year, for Ernie intends to take a post gradu- ate course. David Faunce “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” Without Dave, we hardly know what our class would have done! Everyone knows how hard and en- thusiastically Dave worked for our Fun Night, arousing enthusiasm in others and working as few do work! Throughout the year he has always been more than willing to serve in whatever way he could.

 Charles McGahan “Zealous, yet modest; innocent tho’ free; Patient of toil, serene amidst alarms, Inflexible in faith, invincible in arms.” Charles is one who, thought quiet in his undertakings, has made a suc- cess of everythin}; he has tried. He is a scholar, but better still, he is a dandy athlete. The basketball team next year will miss him, but a team some place else will have gained a good player. We feel confident that Charles will win honors both in scholarship and athletics when he enters another school. Louise Wellington “Music that would charm forever.” Louise is just full of music—full to running over—and we have been fortunate enough to get a share of it. All year Louise has been won- derfully faithful and obliging as our pianist and we should surely have been lost without her. The indirect cause of her nickname may be that of her incessant giggling for isn’t there an old adage— Laugh and grow fat?” Catherine McGrath “Thoughtful, loyal, ready to do, And a friend to cheer when you feel blue.” Katie is one of those girls whom everyone can call a true friend. Kindness and happiness permeate her presence. Outside of her jolly nature she is an excellent commercial stu- dent. Catherine is also a great novel reader. Most of her spare time is spent in reading novels. If she con- tinues as good as she has been in school she may be certain of heaps of friends and success in her work. Howard Shaffer “Silence is deep as eternity; Speech is shallow as time.” Howdy seems backward among the Seniors and especially in the class- room; but, on the baseball diamond he is one of the team’s mainstays. Although his name has never been seen among the leaders, Howdy is always there to give the necessary support.
