His faculty for mischief was highly developed. He attended a country school and was bitten by a mink. His highest grades were made in athlet- ics and 3d Algebra Q ?j. Robert Hornbuckle, born in Jackson Coun- ty, Missouri, in 1881. He spent all his vaca- tions toiling on a Missouri farm and entered this noble school as a Freshie in 1899. Uncle Cyn presented him and other foot-ball boys sas, in June, 1886 , spent her infancy just grow ing, a. rival of Gertrude Smith. She spent vacations on a ranch in Kansas and at the Omaha Exposition. Miss Beers is very fond of cats. I ' Nettie Wiedenmann , born Valentine7s Day, 1888, in Ka.nsas City, Missouri. She has enjoyed measles, chicken-pox, scarlet fever, whooping-cough, and various other ills, but is evidently possessed of the full nine lives. She graduated from Alle-n school when about twelve years old, and on entering Westport High School she hung up a V, and now graduates as Valedictorian of her class. But a. UV would not begin to tell the story of her graduating togs. Will Hornbuckle was born in Jackson Coun- ty in 1886. The first seven years of his life were spent in an insane asylum, of which he remembers nothing. Being released as a harm- less lunatic, he sta.rted to school and reached Westport High School in 1900. Amid the won- derful students of Westport he regained his mind, although still somewhat dreamy, and played with credit on the '01, 302, '03, and 904 base-ball teams, also on the 502 and 903 foot- ball teams. Will enter M. S. U. for a law course next fall. Lotta M. Phillips, mostly stubborn, going home from school one day she waded through two feet of mud to get out of reach of a. friend- ly dog. After taking Caesar a year she dropped him, because he was too ancient. She wanted to study the ffinodernsf' they were decidedly more interesting. She is now looking forward to being a happy bachelor girl. Pearl Zunialt, born in Clay County, in the

This small child had a temper. Her one delight was sewing Kdoll- ragsf' She entered Westport, and her vacations have been spent on a farm, in boating, riding, moonlight-night walksn QO joy! lj, and feed- ing pigs. Miss Jenny Samuel, born November 7, 1886, went to Europe as a. child to visit her relations. She attended the Garfield and Allen schools until fourteen, and entered Westport as a Freshie in the fall of 1900. Her entire mind is bent on having a flower-garden. Annie Elizabeth Burgess , born on the cele- brated Ellis Island. After brilliant and well- deserved honors at ward school, she entered W. H. S. Then she joined the O. S. Miss Annie has actually, really seen President Roose- velt. One day in chemistry, Miss Burgess burnt her finger, and this laid her on the shelf. . Louise Helen Hahn, this precious infant learned the alphabet at the age of two days. She graduated from the Allen school at the age of twelve. Having studied so hard she had no time left for any incidents of infancy, or if she did she soon forgot such foolish, frivolous things. It is to be hoped that she won't study her head off some day. Anna Oatherine Orinsby , lived at her birth- place, Oovington, Kentucky, for two years, moved to Indiana and soon after she came to Kansas Oity, she hopes to perfect the match- making process which she learned in the Ohem- istry Laboratory. Hazel Lillian Hatch, you would never think this august personage was a child, but, sad to say, she was. She entered W. H. S. as a pupil, of course, she was not a scholar, but just a plain pupil. W. H. S. is a very slow school for her, as nothing happened in all her school life. Adron Wright, born at Seneca, Missouri, eighteen long years ago. He entered high school with glowing honors and an average of 59.500001 He has been Kscrubn on the first foot-ball team and 'fsubn on the fifth base-ball team. Pearl Dudley was born in Kansas Oity, in February, 1886. Her infant design was to get hold of the jam-pot. Her disposition is that of a hobo, has farmed in York State, mined in Denver, and studied in Detroit, chosen to im- personate a gypsy in the Round Table open ses- sion, a character which has clung to her ever since. Her highest purpose in life, like that of many other unfortunate Seniors, is to graduate in 501. Audrey Oocke, born in Lowry Oity, Monte- zuma. Unlike other precocious infants, she ran off to attend school, she spent her vacations in New Mexico, and when in school spent time chiefly trying to avoid mathematics. She de- sires to become an excellent marksman, and to own a goose-farm. Mary Minor , born in the C'Sunflower State,', in 1885. She attended infants, school until ten years of age, expelled forty-eight times and ar- rested once. She attended reform school for the next five years and then entered the West- port High School as a renegade, in the fall of the year 1901. She caused her teachers, espe- cially Miss Wilder, great worry and trouble by her atrocious actions as substitute. Her high- est object in life is to be a Latin teacher and translate f'Brutus et two ducksf' Alberta Oreswell, born in Orrick, Missouri, 1886. Wept incessantly until three years old. Played on piano and sang at six years of age. Had a tendency for falling over all obstacles that came in her way. Feathers drooped at Declamatory Oontest. One of the editors-in- chief of Herald. Was Salutato-rian of her class, 904. Obadiah Durham, ObieU was born in Muzzoora,J' where he early made acquaintance with green peaches. He amused himself by tying tin cans to dog-tails. His external bad- ness was removed by a direct appeal to his feel- intsft His acquired depravity at Oentral caused him to be called to the office of S. A. U. for fos- tering class spirit. He was also criticised by Miss De Witt for bad penmanship. Amanda Garrett, one of the most sensible of young ladies, refused to talk until two and one-half years old Qbut has been talking ever sincej, was elected captain of the basket-ball
