Gellenbeck, Helen Frances Center Ball, Gym Team. h'The hand that made thee fair, hath made thee good. Helen is an exceptionally bright student and witty girl. She is very original, too, and has an odd way of anticipating an explosion or evolution of light and heath in chemical experiments. This is all very well, except when the explosion doesnit occur. She is igreat at playing front box in a center ball game, and no player on the opposing teams enjoys guarding Helen. She is frequently tardy, but she often manages to reach the ante-room just as the tardy bell rings. Her ability in getting sense out of the most difficult Latin passages and her quickness in French conversation cause her to be envied by 3.11 her feiiow-students, but do not make them think one whit the less of her. Gaddum, Leonard W. A A, Football Team, Oracle Staff. ttOh thy hair is like the red, red rose When one speaks of Gaddum one naturally thinks of his hair, which is of that unfortunate color that always attracts attention. But it is with pride that we think of it. On the football field Gads, hair was a good beacon to follow, if we particularly needed a gain, and a good thing to pin one's faith to, if there was a hard tackle to be made. All Woodward is proud of that hair, and the class is proud of Gaddum. That he goes at his lessons in the same way that he did his football is shown by his good marks. t'Gad is little and quiet and unassumingebut he is all there when he is needed. In the thick of 'a football scrimmage or in working out some puz- zling problem in mathematics, one could always be sure that Gad and his hair would be mixed up in it somehow. 21

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

Goodhart, Zorelda H. ii Refinement personifiedni Gentle and meek Zorelda. Her voice is never raised above a soft tone, she never gets excited, she is never in a hurry, yet she is always on time. How we envy you, Zorelda, your calm and peaceful mien! Zorelda's brain capacity must indeed be large, for she knows more than the average girl, and. when some general question is asked the class, Zomelda. always redeems us by rising, and, in her quiet way, telling the exact answer which is required. Zorelda. delights in relating little anecdotesgto her girl friends, and if some- times they are in too much of a hurry to listen, it is not because they would not like to. Wellesly College has a great treat in store for it, because it is to receive Zorelda. next year, and we hope her soft smiles and her Win- ning ways will take well Hon foreign shores? Haehnle. Elmer C. Football Team, Debating Society. ii Let me have men above me that are fat. Hlaehnie may be .classed among the workers at Woodward. Not only is he ihdustfiqus in his studies. but he is also one of the valiant heroes of the gridiron. He is the nonpareil in French. After two years of stiidy in that language he could say, with enunciation not unlike that of a. French school boy, Jaime ma. maitresse. Elmer was always a most iskilful scribe, and his Devoirs en Francais are the teacher's delight, both on accOunt of their neatness and excellence. As a climax to Elmeris brilliant high school career, he surprised and thrilled his auditors by a most glowing appeal for the wider observance of the Initiative and Referendum. 22
