JAMES L. BAKER, Quartet; Assistant Business Manager ofthe Oracle; Art League; Dramatic Club; Captain Fencing Team; Athletic Association; Tennis Club. This is Jim, the affable chemist, singer, actor and all 'round good fellow. He has proven to be a constant pillar of the quartet and, as an actor, how he made us trouble as the burly Blazer! Girls! how could you say Jim was slow? Only Witness his Marathon race after an Auburn Avenue car about 8:20 some morning, 2'. 3., when he has the coin, which he generally has. A11 Jimis education here has been gotten through absorption and he is especially good in studies where lectures are given. We do not know whether Jim will he a ttbasso or just a plain usher, but indications are that it will be the former because of his weakness for fair pianistes. Best wishes, Jim. WILLIAM BARDES, Assistant Business Manager of the ANNUAL; Art League. IBardes is a great business man, proving his ability by raking in money for the ads 11; LheIANNUAL CU. Wilham is not a big noise, but he is certainly not quiet, especially in machlne shop. About 2:15 he can be seen bribing some unfortunate to get him a ttRhodee or an Eleonh from the library because he cant endure going there in hIS greasy shop garments. This, however, is a common weakness and does not detract from t'WIIIyum's virtues. We all lament the fact that we must soon lose his strengthening presence and go out into the hard, cruel worldi-alone. 30

RUTH ELLEN BUCKLEY, Art League. ii Her voice changed like a birfs; There grew more of the music and less of the words. Little Ruth is very quiet ordinarily, but we suppose she saves her musical voice for better things. In addition to her school work, she has taken up the dramatic course at the College of Music. This has taken a great deal of her attention from Woodward, but those who have heard her there feel amply repaid for that loss. Many have been cheered up by her quiet, pleasing manner and when success finally comes to her, we know she will remember the Class of '12 of old Woodward. HELEN CRAMER, Dramatic Club; Art League. HO Helen. fair beyond compare, I'll make a. garland of thy hair, Shall bind my heart forevermair Until the day I die! This is plain Helen, as we call her, not because she is plain; no, not by any means, but because she has. only one name. Ye gods! what could the history class do without Helen? Sheis also always iiJohnny on the spot with the salt for Mr. Goodwin in the lunch room. We believe Helen is a talker, Which is not unusual iiin woman? She can even joke on the way to an examination! Helenis classmates Will long remember her smiling face. 29

HELEN CELESTE CRAMER, Athletic Association; Girls Tennis Club; Dramatic Club; Art League. H er eyes as stars of twilight fair; Like twilightis, 1300, her dusky hair. Is Helen quiet? Why no; you may think so because you dont know her, but when she's in her bunch she is very lively. Then, too, Helen is very fond of gym- nasium work. She is a splendid swimmer. She is also domestically inclined and can make heaps of goodies! In French, the teacher was so fond of her that she had to leave her autograph in the nlittle book, but dont let that honor turn your head, Helflzn; others have been there as well, and we are glad to have had a like distinction wit you. PAULINE CRUMB, Girls' Tennis Club; Athletic Association; Art League; Dramatic Club. To friends a friend. Pauline first joined us in the fall of 1910, coming from Walnut Hills Where she was quite popular. We wish she had come sooner, for we do value her. She certainly is an entertaining talker, especially in German and where she plays upon the girls1 risibles by such remarks as Oh, Hes! feel my muscle! Her chief and only trouble in life is her surname, which gives rise to sundry jokes. Says one, iiWhy is Pau-line? HBecause she eats crumbs, says another. t'Who did Miss Crumb come with this evening? With the rest of the 10:1 , etc. Besides being a jolly good sport and a lot of fun, Pauline is quite a musician and is ambitious to become a great Violinist. To this end she will attend the College of Music, after leaving Woodward. 31
