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

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

F rank, Elsa Carolyn Her appetite for knowledge is insatiable. This seems tWe say seemsl to be the case With Elsie, for after finishing her four years course she has come back to stay with us another half year. Can her love for learning be as great as that? We fear not. But there surely is some reason, and the only one that seems suitable is that there is some attraction. We hardly think it isione of her girl friends, nor do we think itois any of the priests or priestesses of Minerva Umown com- monly as teachersl. However, this is only a supposition; do not take it for granted, because, after all, it might only be her devotion to the goddess of. learning. Elsie has a great propensity for reading-fiction. She became so interested the other day that she forgot to eat her lunch. Just think of it! Talking also seems to be one of her gifts, for she can talk by the hour on any subject. She is also an artist in china painting. Funke, Richard H. Captain Track Team. it His speed was as the lightningil When we say that Dick is the Captain of the track team, we have said a great deal. His hobby is breaking records, and Dick seems to have a marked propensity for this. He is a. fast man, and does everything with speed. In fact, speed has become his second nature. He has grown so used to it that he even translates Latin speedily. Dickie future vocation in life is uncertain, but he has confided that he will either become a missionary or a. preacher. Dickis fertile brain overflows with knowledge, which he is al- ways ready to impart to the needy. This is one of his traits that is especially admired by his teachers. We hope that when Dick enters upon lifeis duties he may have a. prosperous time, and. win as many victories upon the battle held of life as he has upon the iield of sport. 20
