HARRY SCHAFER Editor of The ANNUAL, Oracle Staff, Football Team. Yes, Harry edited this book, and wrote for the school paper, and played hue football, and all that, but this little sketch has a greater object than to tell of such ordinary things. Harry has a hat; we all have hats, but Harryis hat is different. W hen he was in the lifth reader of school, ambition ran riot in Harry;' he quit school and started to selling newspapers. He wore a mere cap, then, but the cap soon became too small, so he got a job as messenger boy. After six months of that good exercise, he moved his cap one peg farther; he sold magazines 011 the trains and traveled all around. Then Harry went backwards a little ; he worked in factories and machine shops, and then he scored. He started to study; he Studied shorthand; he moved his hat ahead. He was Matted now; he entered the employ of the Enquirer. He made good. N 0w, here comes that nervous hat again. He hung his hat up in our halls at Woodward. He made good; he was a social favorite, a gentleman with the horn polish. We have honored him, and nOW'he leaves us. His hat is in the Chicago University, and a well-filled hat it is. JAMES L. MOCH Business Manager of The ANNUAL, Art League, Oracle Staff, Athletic Association. HSure you will give us an ad. Why, you know Who I am? Iim Jimmy, the same party who put store cheese in the macaroni, which is served in our lunch room. This is only part of the conversation used by Moch in landing another twenty-dollar advertisement for the Annual. If you doubt that this rosy-cheeked lad could be a. successful business manager yodre mistaken. Just glance over, at the back of this book, the many ads he has landed, and youill agree that Jim will have a successful business career, The only thing that troubles Moch is the fair sex. After defying them for nearly three years. he has capitulatecl, and new many fellows are clamoring for their lost fair friends. But Moch is not such a bad fellow, after all. Next to his dinner, he loves fun. and he surely has enough of it. Too bad that graduation is coming soou, for we surely will miss you, old boy. 28

BESSIE HUMPHRIES Vice-President of the Senior Class, Art League, ANNUAL Staff, Athletic Association, Oh, thou art fairer than the evening air Clad in tile beauty of a thousand stars. Bessie, the Vice-President of our class, has made many friends during the four years she has been with us. It is hard to say how much we missed her that one day she was absent. Bessie has not only helped us over many hard places in Virgil, by her excellent work in Latin, but also in preparing dinners and making good things in the domestic classes. Those who have seen her in the Gym appre- ciate the fun that is in her and know that she is not as quiet as she sometimes looks. As our mascot at Basket Ball games she folds her thumbs and says, HDelft, and the opponent's ball does not go into the basket. We wish that her life may be crowned with love and happiness and that she may never forget her Woodward friends. ALICE MCCARTHY Secretary of the Senior Class, Art League, Tennis Club, Oracle Staff, Athletic Association. Alice McCarthy, the faithful Secretary of the Class of 1913. Who is not acquainted with her? She is of such an optimistic nature and pleasant di5positi0n that she is beloved of all her classmates. She has often been spoken of as the girl with the smile that never comes Off. Yet even Alice is not without fault; her daily tardiness in Chemistry has brought her the nickname, the Amenf' When reproved for her tardiness she promptly responds that large bodies move slowly, and one is made for comfort and not speed. A girlish whim of hers is the keep ing of a diary in which is recorded a faithful account of all her joys and sorrows. May the joys of her future be many and her sorrows few. 27

EMILY ARNOLD Art League, Athletic Association. Emily, so quiet, demure and sweet, With a t'oic'e .w tranquil and 10m; Of all the girls I chmzre to meet Shek- the dearrst one I Imam In describing Emily one can say she is simple, demure and sweet. She is always the same and ready to greet all with a smile. Emily says that her only trial in school is Latin, but she is not the kind to give up. Her courage failed, however, in the second half year, when she was allowed to drop Cicero and take up Astronomy. Emily has taken great interest in this study and some may think she will be a famous star gazer, but this is not her greatest ambition. She intends to go to a Western college next year and later become a domestic science teacher, but who knows? She would certainly make a model home maker. There is another thing that interests Emily-is it possible that she is a suffrag'ette? Re- member she is from Colorado. We wish her the greatest success. ANNA BACKUS Art League. FUN of jollity and fun. Anna is one of our little girls. She is little. but, oh. my! the strength of her right arm. This is shown in Domestic Science, where she vigorously beats batters and doughs. She is an irrepressible giggler, and can smile even When an English Exam is approaching, which speaks for itself. Is she talkative? Oh, 110! She is quiet sometimes, but that is only when someone else is talking. Anna is always in for a good time, and is usually found where the mast fun is going on. We wish you, Anna, all the success in the world. 29
