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

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

Hildebrandt, Clara Elizabeth Center Ball Team, Art League nFair is she, and very fair. Brown hair, brown eyes and red cheeks; rather small and rather slender. There you have her, as pretty as a picture! But to appreciate Chiqui tas she is called by her Spanish friendsi, one must know her. ' Just to look at her one would think, what a demure, sweet little maiden! But appearances, you know, are deceptive, for under this saintly exterior lies a most gay and mischievous spirit, which is seen only by those who know her. She belongs to the ltSpanish bunch, and thatis unut ced. But truly, her brightness is remarkable, as is also her great attraction for bright things. It is astonish- ing to see the number of uhrig-ght-headed people who circle around her. Just recently a new member has entered her ranks. The acquaintance started in the lower regions tthe laboratoryl, when she showed such a fondness for the color red. It was not because she was fond of the red cabbage used in the laboratory, nor because red becomes her, though it does; she has reasons of her own, but some one surely guessed them, for Santa Claus left her a big red bean on the Christmas tree in the gym. HoHing, Chas. A., Jr. A A, President Athletic Committee,Footba.11 Team, Annual Staff. ' rhe Justice full of wise sayings. This is a husky young athlete, whose dignijied bearing won for him the sobriquet of Judgen during his early years at WoodWai-d. The latter state- ment would imply that his sojourn was longer than the average. In the past few years he has won honor and glory for our Alma. Mater, and his Alma by his effective Wielding 0f the hammer. But his glorious achievements were not games on the athletic field alone. Although never brilliant, he was at all times a diligent student, and even waxed eloquent on civics during the latter part of his Senior year. In French he was a nstar, but he was in the favor of the teacher to such a degree as to hinder investigation as to his magnitude. At any of our social functions the somewhat ponderous bulk of this Adonis II. could be seen tripping on the light fantastic toe tbelonging to some one other than hel. 24
