PHILIP ALFRED SCOVILLE PHIL” O, why did nature invent the untimely dimple?” A. A. (I), (2), (3), (4). Basketball (I), (2), (3), (4). Class Vice-President (1), (4). Agriculture Judging Team (1), (2), (3). Baseball (2), (3), (4). Class President (2). Track (2), (3), (4). Tennis (2), (3). Banquet Committee, Basketball Championship (2). Vice-President Nature Club (3) Class Secretary (3). F. F. A. (3). Junior Prom Committee (3). Banquet Committee F. F. A. (3). President F. F. A. (4) Dance Committee (4). Class Prophecy. (4). For a fellow with such steady nerves, he surely does jump. He has set most of our track records in running and jumping. Many times we have seen an opponent s shot, which looked like a certain goal, picked out of mid-air by this agile basketball guard. We pity the baseballs that come in contact with a bat that he is wielding, and try to catch him on bases! Aside from being an athlete, Phil is undoubtedly a ladies’ man. PHYLLIS MAE SHARROW PHYL” A good sport, a true friend. For what more can one wish?” A. A. (I), (3), (4). Class Vice-President (2). Glee Club (3). Secretary of Glee Club (3). French Club (3). Operetta Cast (4). Basketball (3), (4). Vice-Pre-ident of English Club (4). Class Prophecy (4). Here's a lady who can keep from talking. Friend and confidante of all, faithful, winsome and kind, she excels in basketball or on the dance floor. We wish all our friends could be cut from that pattern. GERTRUDE ELIZABETH SMITH GERT” True ease in writing comes from art, not chance.” A. A. (1), (2), (3), (4). Basketball (3), (4). Violin Club (3). Novel Club (3). Honor Roll Committee (4). Secretary of English Club (4). Class Poem (4). Gertrude is our gift to Literature. We are sure that she will occupy a place of fame in that field—quite a large place in fact, but, owing to a recent reduction, not as large a space. We think her favorite writer is Dick (ens). At any rate his writings hold her interest. Page Eleven

 + SIDNEY SMITH PLATT SI” The farmer homeward plods his weary way.” Agriculture Judging Team (1). (2). (3). Mirror Staff (2). Track Team (3). Class Vice-President (3). Junior Prom Committee (3). F. F. A. Banquet Committee (3). Secretary and Reporter, F. F. A. (3). (4). Honor Roll Committee (4). Class Valedictorian (4). It’s been quite noticeable that the Platts have a lease on the lower hall. What will those girls do when Sidney leaves? Besides being the brainy Class Valedictorian, Sidney has proved his ability on the track, Jews Harp, and now he has braved the dance floor. He’s the money-maker of the class, so there’s something in store for someone. BREWSTER S. REICHENBACH REICHY” None but himself can be his parallel.” A. A. (1), (2), (3), (4). Basketball (1), (2), (3), (4). Baseball (2), (3), (4). Glee Club (3). Nature Club (3). Cast of The Worm” (3). Junior Prom Committee (3), (4). Operetta Cast (4). Dance Committee (4). President of English Club (4). Class Gifts (4). We knocked-nobody’s home! (Maybe he won’t answer to that knock.) Brewster surely can’t be equalled when it comes to giving others a good time. He’s the life of every class and every school activity, and the answer to every call to help in difficulty. He’s a good athlete, dancer and chauffeur. Why shouldn’t we be proud of him? GEORGE SALOKAS GEORGE” His limbs were cast in manly mold, For hardy sports or contests bold.” A. A. (1), (2), (3), (4). Baseball (1), (2), (3), (4). Basketball (3), (4). Nature Club (3). Track Team (3). President of Chemistry Club (4). George is not like the Ancient Mariner, for he stop-peth all of three.” He’s our famous pitcher and home-run king. Nothing disturbs him. The faster a game becomes, the cooler George appears to be. There's always a determined look in his eye, and a little smile of confidence playing around the corners of his mouth. No matter how dark things seem, just the sight of this serene lad makes us want to fight our battles through to the end and conquer, as he does. Page Ten

MAE AURORA SWANSON SWANNIE” Not that she loves studies less, but fun, the more.” A. A. (1), (2), (3), (4). Basketball (1), (2), (3), (4). Basketball Manager (3), (4). Art Editor of Wide Awake (1). Wide Awake Staff (2), (3). Editor-in-Chief of Wide Awake (4). Mirror Staff (2), (3). Ed-itor-in-Chief of the Mirror (4). Class Secretary (2). Committee Basketball Championship Banquet (2). Cast of Silas Marner” (2). Glee Club (2), (3). Dramatic Club (3). Cast of The Worm” (3). Dance Committees (3), (4). Treasurer of A. A. (4). Secretary of English Club (4). Cast of Operetta (4). Honor Roll Committee (4). Prom Committee (4). I’ll do it.”—and she does! Dancing, designing, playing basketball, writing poems or articles for the Mirror, planning parties, singing, taking part in dramatics—all these activities seem equally easy for Mae, and if her giggles are any indication, she enjoys each one. She used to be very proud of her Swedish ancestry, but just lately she has seemed to favor the Irish. CHARLES HURD WESTERI.UND WESTY” The worse the scrawl-the dose-the better.” A. A. (1). If the above quotation is true, Westy will make a wonderful doctor. Westy’s curly hair is sure to call forth admiration, but the thing which we will always remember about him will be his grit in resuming his studies after his long illness. If you can put some of that into your patients, Westy, how successful you will be. DOROTHY ALICE THOMAS DOT” Music hath charms.” A. A. (1), (2), (3), (4). Glee Club (1), (2). Basketball (1), (2). Number please? The latest one. Then her fingers fly over the piano keys, and everybody for rooms around dances the tedious noon hour away, dances until its time for our joyous classes again. Oh yeah? Say you leave that expression alone. Dot has a monopoly on it. We think this is an appropriate time to thank her for her music, and when she gets her own orchestra, we’ll be on hand. Page Twelve
