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

She has decided to accept as her husband a human manf' Jessie Pearce Cheatham was born in War- rensburg, Mo., in 18845. She was guarded, pom- meled, bumped, and tyrannized over in turn by three older sisters, and ran wild in the country with the chickens, calves, dogs, colts and sun- dry other animals. She boasts that she has passed thirty-Eve times and tlunked once, and received one A from Mr. Green-something of which she is very proud. Catherine Norine O7Brien, born in Sedalia. Mo., October, 1887. Her infancy was remark- able in that she was ust like other children, her chief amusement being dolls. We wonder if this has now given way to joy in dolis. Her late unpleasantness was the dissection of the cat in physiology. Has been a. Clionian, but will now join the Humane Society. Bessie S. Fife 3 born in Glendale, Kentucky, March 22, 1886, where she lived quietly until she entered school. Her vacations were spent on ranches, learning to be a cowboy and also helping to build a church. She spends her time practicing for entertainments, preparing Jones' Prose, or trying to stuff the little Sophomores with rhetoric or American literature. Charles Wolf was born in Glen Kentucky, in 1886 , herded grasshoppers until three years old. He entered Westport High School as a Freshie September 15, 1900, drank out of the fire bucket and entered the o-rchestra. Begin- ning to think of future life, he learned to play 'iYankee Doodlef' looked wise and imagined the teachers thought him so. He has done noth- ing this year, for the Seniors are too young to do anything without the advice of the Faculty. Amy Meyer was born in West-po-rt in some remote period and ran od eight miles to church at the age of two months. She was fastened to a chair by a. mischievous Sophomore and was not able to rise when called upon by Miss Wat- son. She was lectured by one of the teachers for studying on Sunday. Alvin J. Lorie was born in Kansas City, Mo., in 1886. Won great fame at Central, faint rumors of which have reached Westport High KF- 1 School. The source of his few freckles can be accounted for by that summer spent down in the sand-hills of New Mexico? He can play ball and work the teachers. Yelle Elizabeth Sumerwell was born in Cass County, Missouri, in 18813. Her infant life, it seems, was a continual string of exciting adven- tures. Her school life was uneventful, and not until her Senior year did this personage reach the climax by impersonating '4Aunty Dolefulw in the Senior entcrtaimnent. Dorothy Partington. lt is a very significant fact that Miss Fartington was very fond of cutting upw in her infancy, at one time cut- ting up her whole apron fo-r doll-rags, whip- ping followed. We cannot help wondering whethe-r such a treatment might not prove ef- fective at present-but then she is a Senior. However, she got along perfectly natural-liken in Westport High School until she came to geometry and physics. Frances Kizzie Johnson, this prodigy, when about one year old, had her finger choppedclear in two. When preparing for her famous career in Westport High School, she first attended Allen school and afterward Hyde Park, until almost twelve years of age. She oined the Cli- onian Society and delighted in wearing the colors. y Myrtle Ducret first saw light in the Union Cemetery of this city. During her infancy she 'flielpedv her father by pulling up his plants for weeds, and taking care of the baby, which consisted in dropping him upon every possible occasion. She played basket-ball with her fin- ger-nails and elbows as safeguards. The third year she entered an essay contest which she didnit win. She wants to be a designer, archi- tect, and author. 'That,s all. Anna Hamilton 3. born on the Cannibal Is- lands, A. D.-maybe 5 she is not sure, delighted in making mud-pies and pinching the cat'sitail. llows and rows of the most luscious chocolate cakes were consumed daily. Now a graduate of Westport High School. - Raymond Marran was born in New York City, 1886. He went to school by himself when -F ,iv- v,,..vP' Lg? -Jr!-tx i. 4 ,Hx . ' -4 ' ' ' fr
