Hoffman, Magdalena Catharine Center Ball. ti And never yet was foolish. How true of little Miss Hoffman! One can not help prefixing that little, after having seen her. She is such a. quiet, sober girl that you can hardly tell she is around. This is not true in center ball, however, for she is one of the best players on the team, making herself useful in a dozen different ways. She is here one second, there the next, jumping about like a rubber ball. Hei- shortness is of greater value than tallness would be, for large bodies move slowly, you know. She always seems to be busy, and we think if it were not for this fact we might know her a. little better. But her time is put to good account, as any one in her French class can tell you. Hutchins, Mabel von Lohr Center Ball, Annual Staff. 't A perfect woman, :10th planned. Mabel is one of our brightest and most popular girls. One seldom Iinds a girl who takes as much interest in her studies, but still finds so much time for fun. She has hosts of friends, particularly among the opposite sex. At the beginning of the year it seemed that Mabel was going to favor the boys of the B Grade, but she soon found that A Grade boys were much more attractive, and, consequentlyhbestowed her smiles on them. This caused much satisfaction among the Seniors, but chagrin among the Juniors, who immediately assumed a. sour grape expression and proceeded to call he:- t'HutchinsF Mabel is a. star at center ball, in spite of the fact that this is her first year at the game. By the way, in one game Mabel wore a sweater that had a. strangely familiar look. I wonder why? 25

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

J oehnk, Elsa Nora Pearl Oracle Staff. it And her golden hair was hanging down her back. She is one of the many rosy-headed members of our class, and we couldnit possibly get along without this bright head. She isn't the champion test tube smasher of the class, but she ranks second. Well, if she isnit the champion smasher, she is something of a. masher,h for we know of three youths positively that have become enslaved to her charms, but just how many more we can't say. Elsa has a host of girl friends, and every one of them can tell you What a. jolly, fun-Ioving maiden she is. She can make you laugh though you are feeling as sober as a judge. She is always seen attended by her Fidus Achates Geminineh, and by the way they talk one won- ders what important news it is they are telling each other. But, aside from 3.11 nonsense, do you know that Elsa. is a talented violinist? She is, and some day we shall probably hear from her when she is playing engagements in symphony concerts. Joslin, Allen R. K. K. A ,3. Oracle Stafc. it He was liked full well thy the girlsw' Allen came to Woodward at the beginning of this year, but soon gained a. host of friends by his pleasant disposition. He astonished his teachers With his knowledge of chemistry and English, but all these things were ancient history to Joslin. We might call him an itinerant scholar, for he has attended Walnut Hills, Technical School, etc., etc. And, just to think that he has captured many hearts at each school. For information as to his Wood- ward conquests, ask Blanche. Never mind her last name. 26
