Harky Co vington A dkins “Fatnt heart never won fair lady Harry is not the baby of our class by any means. Oh, no! We have always looked up to him as our tower of strength and bravery. Ilis business ability is worthy of note for he learned in the early days of the class that in a class of twenty-one of which three are boys there are eighteen girls. He was very bashful then but as there were six girls for every boy he found that he must run or talk and wisely decided to do the latter. From the day of his decision he rapidly developed into a ladies’ man. Of late we have begun to suspect that Harry is afraid of the dark. On several occasions at “ Board Meetings ” he would invariably pick out the girl who lived nearest to his home and say, “Hold on, I am going your way.” We are quite sure it was because he was afraid to go by himself (?) The young man, being quite an athlete, has been elected manager of both the foot-ball and baseball teams of the year ’04-’05. Rosa Lick Ellingsworth A faded flower once bright and fair Rosa is one of our most interesting classmates. She is renowned for several reasons. She continually wears a smile that wont come off and is frequently seen walking up and down the street with a six footer or, worse still, going to church with him. But her chief accomplish¬ ment is her constant attention upon the looking-glass which she guards like a soldier on duty, during recess and before and after school. Rosa has also a very fascinating nicknapie, “ Sis Rosey,” which suits her to a T. She her¬ self is very much attached to this name and is always re¬ minding us of our duty to use it in speaking to her and gives us a reason for so wishing “ cause they call me that at home, you know.” William Francis Fooks Music ' oh, how faint, how weak , Language fails before thy spell! “ Bill ” is the Athletic editor of our year book and in¬ dulges once in a while in athletics, (athletics on paper suit him better), for he says his feet are so bigthat it requires too great exertion to lift them in running and jumping. This is the least of his characteristics, for he stands un¬ rivaled as the tenor singer of the High School. One day he and another member of our class had “a spat ” after which the offended girl left him. It was then that we were so charmed by hearing him sing, “Comeback to me, sweetheart,” that we were not able to get our minds tixed on our lessons the remainder of the day. His favorite sport is teasing the girls but that is not a fault because he is one of those FOUR boys and they have no faults in the principal’s eyes. He possesses an abundance of good nature and is noted for having the sharpest knife in school and of course the girls all like him for it. [tt]
