Dock, Howard. K. K. Oracle Staff, Annual Staff. 't These signs have marked me extraordinary, I am not in the roll of common men i' Behold the perfect man! Never in his four years course was Dock known to receive a demerit; never was he known to miss a lesson. If he ever got less than 999g in an exam. he would rave and tear his hair. But, then, no one ever missed the hair, so poor Dock never received any sympathy. French is Dockis long suit. Frencheand singing. Dock sings well. Dock is a tine Latin student. Dock is an extraordinary chemist. Dock is a. fine mathema- tician. Dock isebut Why go into details? Every one knows Who Dock is. Every one knows whom to turn to for a Latin lesson or a French exercise or a geometry proposition that one has neglected to do one's self. The only thing that Dock cant do is to roll a. cigarette. Withal, he is a. good fellow, a. hard worker and a conscientious student, who has deservedly gained the respect and esteem of his teachers and the good will of his classmates. P. Selt has just been rumored that Dock has at last received a. demerit! Alas! how the mighty have fallen! Dock is human, after all. Dodds, Warren 0. A A. Track Team, Basket Ball. d A pony, a pony, my kingdom for a pony. Ever know that Warren was an equestrian? Its a fact, and, besides, it is fitting that he should be, for he is a light-weight, and small of stature, an admirable jockey. But, then, even if he is fond of riding, he walks mamr times. Warren has other accomplishments. He is a. brilliant French scholar, so brilliant that frequently he dazzles the eyes of his teacher by his Witty trans- lations. Dodds is very fond of puns, and expounds them with varied suc- cess. He is an athlete, else. He may be seen upon the track or .at the gym, where he affords the girls much amusement. by showing them the simple art of losing your man in a basket ball game. Dodds is ever ready with smile and joke when he is in our midst, and is hailed as a god of joy and happiness. 18

Cochran, Allen D. M. S. K. K. Annual Staff. it He coulde eel: daunee well portray and write. Allen D. Cochran: Dean is one of the great triumvirate who composed the class of lBBVJ. His real name is Allen, but he is called Allen Dean for short. He is an artist, and he can draw anything from his breath to his salary CD. Deants great ambition in life is to become a Professor of Latin in Woodward! In fact, he promises to rival Vergil in Latin verse. His Latin translations are wonderful and abound in queer expressions, most vivid descriptions and surprising facts on genealogy. It is not strange to hear from'his lips that Aeneas was t'suffused in olive oil, and, after setting far apart, was scattered over the sea in a. foam. He loved his school so that he stayed as long as he could. Dean is a. great favorite With the girls, and: can talk to six of them at once without blushing. Although he is always true to Woodward, he can not refrain from letting his thoughts wander over to our worthy rivalsl school, Walnut Hills, Where she abides! Day, Walter S. M. S. K. K. A A. Annual Staff, Football Team, Manager Baseball Team, Swimming Team. it Singing he was and floytlng all the day He was a: fresh as 15 the month of May. Walter Day: Wallie is the boy with the beautiful blush. He possesses a. blush Which starts frem his neck and suffuses itself gently along his face 6,611 to the roots of his hair. Withal, he is not bashful, and that blush is due to the fact that he knows that his handsome face is admired by all the fair sex, and he knows that if he does not blush he will be regarded as a. very vain lad. Walter is a. good boy, both in school and out. In school he is the pride of his class, because he does nothing to offend anybody. He is a great favorite With the teachers, and he loves to study German. He is also a great artist, and spends all his spare time in German in drawing portraits of the surrounding people. Outside of school he is an ideal fellow. He has no bad habits, and, in truth, he can be regarded as a. model boy, because of the mOSt astounding fact that he does not indulge in tobacco in any form. Follow Walter's example and you will find the road to success orselsewhere. 17

Eversull, Bertie A dandy little lady and moat sweet. Is she nice? Well, you can just put your money on that. Shels bright, too, and every one breathes a. sigh of relief When Bertie gets up to translate Latin. They know that before her recitation is completed a. good portion of a diHicult lesson will be properly read. She comes to school from a long distance, but, to her credit, be it said that she has never been known to be late. She is a. splendid cook, and all of us in the class are proud of our little housewife. Elstun, Wesley M. Class President, A A, M. S , K K., Manager Foot. Ball Team, Swimming Team, Track Team, Athletic Committee. uNowhere so busy 8. lnan us he there was, and yet he seemed busier than he was. Nobody ever saw Elstun when he wasnlt in a rush. Early in the morn- ing Wess could be seen in the classroom, excitedly scanning the contents 0f some book that he should have studied the night before. But his ability to get up and git stood him in good stead in his man- agement of the football team, in. Which oflice Wess gained the name of ltThe Fighting Manager? It sounds well, doesn't it? However, if truth be told. this warlike cognomen was really a. result of Elstun's wanting to fight t'der Gaptaint because the latter demanded two ttcomps instead or one. As for his lessons, elocution is Wessl joy and pride tor would be if he could only keep his knees from shakingl, and composition is a close second in his affections. Why, when Elstun is told to write a theme, he even goes so far as to count each word in order that he may not write too muche I mean little, of course. To conclude, it is a significant fact that Wess is always blamed for every disturbance in the Senior Class. 19
