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

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

Greiser, Ethel. M. O. B. Oracle Staif Annual Staff. h The most precious things come in small packagesJ' Dear little Ethel! It hardly seems possible that so many good qualities can he possessed by so petite a. person. Ethel is a little woman in all senses of the word, for, though She never neglects her studies, she is ever ready to be 011 some sort of a committee and lend her aid towards nman- aging. In other words, she is always ready to help? The department of chemistry which she likes the best is the laboratory, for there she can break test tubes to her heart's content, and certainly no one can excel her in this art. In the lunch room Ethel will eat anything but lamb -I wonder why? And whenever she hears the word iidoctorf it is surprising the way she pricks up her ears! Ethel is not a. very noisy little person, but she accomplishes a great deal Without making much fussf Not enough space could be given to relate her good qualities, but weive only room left to say, She's little, but, oh, my! Hammel, Fred J. Debating Society, Oracle Staff. ii Noght a. word spak he more than he was nedeJi If Fritz were, by some unlucky chance, thrown upon his own resources, he certainly could hoe his own row right now. He can make cigars as good as father used to make, and with the rapidity of a machine, too. But if this: censcience would not permit him to pursue this business, he is well qualified to teach German, for all the German girls at Woodward say that Fred 'is a; star in this subject. He can handle money like a. i211w Gould, as witnessed by the booming subscription business of the iiOracleP And as to speeches, well, we are at a loss for words to describe his ability, and so we will con- clude by predicting a great hnancial career for Fritz, combined with a great deal of speech? 23
