1 i AQUILLA IDA DIEHL FULLERTON Though we prepare ourselves ever so well, All of the future no one will foretell. This girl hails from Fullerton and finds it to be a beautiful town just outside the city limits, yet so free, so isolated, and of such poise as to be one of the finest places in which to live. We have ceased to seek the city: we have found that art is not able to vie with nature, we love the babbling brook, the mill that stands by it, the bridge that is built o'er itg we love these things: they are so genuine. Ida does not give us her opinion about the boys: she wisely says, Let us wait. She will not let them hang on the ate. Gates break S down. This girl, however, loves her stenography and writes her iss and steh very well. When the High School career is over, when those gates will not stand ajar as of old, when the songs once sang have found the silence of their singers. Ida will follow the work of her chosen profession with a will.

l S'1'E1.1.A MAY BROXVN FULLERTON Let not semshness your soul pervert, From this most base fault yourself convert. Stella is taking the Commercial Course in our Whitehall High School, and, some day, will be a shining light in the business world. Many have entered this work but not all have made good. Some enter only to grow tired and then to lay the burden down. It will not be thus in the case of this Whitehall student,-she will be one of those who will strive to win. Many l are they who enter this field but soon fall out because Northern laurels turn to Southern wil- ows. The particular field in which this student chooses to labor is that of Secretary to some one who has some big business to carry on. Here will she labor and here not lay her bur- dens down until all is accomplished that busi- ness may wish for. Athletic Association fl-2-3-45, Literary Society UD, Dramatics Q41 ELWOOD AUGUSTUS CHAMBERLAIN FULLERTON By the fireside, linger not too long, l Lest others should grow and be too strong. Elwood is one of our line young men who comes to us from Fullerton and does work in the academic course. He has very much to say about false economy and believes that people do not always reckon properly. One man rejected a daughter-in-law because she was a cripple,-she was lame. The son married another girl, who, while going up the stairway fell and hurt her limb. Well, there were doctors and medicines and bandages and many, many costs. What a saving there might have been if the son would have married the girl who was lame already. There are blessings for all. The man who clrives a car has his, too. While his creditors are riding on the trolley, he drives his car. This is a splendid way of never meeting those whom he owes but will not pay.

LEROY REUBEN E.BEm-:ARD FULLERTON Now, Reuben, Reuben, what would you say If all the girls were sent far away? Here comes another calculative student and is presented to us by that wide-awake town- Fullerton. One of his latest problems was the meeting of a young man with his lady friend and, when they were alone, offering what he called a solitaire ,-it was just this that made the lady object to it and reject it,-some problem. LeRoy is terribly opposed to warg he will take up the subject and discuss it with a candor and with a frankness that will make you feel that he is earnestly opposed to so horrible a thing that takes so many lives and breaks up so many homes. Soon, after his wishes on this subject were known, the writer approached LeRoy to acquaint himself with the reason for his objecting so strenuously to war. Well, countered LeRoy, There is enough history now to learn. LeRoy will be a chemist and will discuss some of its mysterious things. He, also, loves athletics although it is at times hard to get a line on it.

The pupil wanted to know of the dance master if he could enter the Follies. But the dance master would not let his pupil enter because of his two legs. Some one told William that man were the opposite of chickens because they grew more tender with age. But William does not think along the above given lines. But, I-low happy is he born or taught, Whose passions not his master areg Lord of himself, though not of lands, And having nothing, yet hath all. And, lf you want an honored name, If you want a spotless fame, Let your words be kind and pure, And your tower shall endure.
