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

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

Kramer, Elsa ' The early bird catches the worm. Fifteen minutes before eight finds Elsa. bright and eager at her desk, ready to begin a day of hard work. She very seldom lets any one beav' her in coming early in the morning. Elsa studied hard and conscientiously during her last half year at Woodward. She invariably said things back- ward, and on one occasion declared that she nhaired her comb? She has a. very tender heart, and would die rather than hurt any onets feelings. She was a. member of the 1906112 class, and, therefore, thought that she should be treated as such, but since she was not a. member of the Latin hunch she was continually being forgotten and left out by the teachers. Krueck, Josephine None know her but to love her, none name her but to praise. This is Jo, star of the German iirmament. She keeps up the interest of the class by her Witty sayings. She is a great favorite with her classmates of both sexes. 50 is ambitious; she wants to be a teacher in some charitable institution, say, for instance, the House of Refuge. At least, that is what she says, but her hearers take it With a. grain of Na. Cl. Jo has a. secret admiration for uniforms; that is, she thinks it is secret. giNuf ced. But all this describes Jo as she generally appears. There is another side of her character which shows her to be very practical and serious. But, serious or gay, she is lovable-our Jo. 27
