Y. C. I. ELIZABETH BEAR Elizabeth is to all appearances a man-hater, but you can ' t always go by appearances. She has little to say but that only lends importance to her opinions. The possessor of a distinctive person- ality and qualities of character representative of high ideals, she cannot help but be a leader wherever she goes. When Sigma Delta chose Miss Bear for President for an entire school term they not only showed good judgment but expressed their appre- ciation for her ability and the high esteem in which she is held by all who know her. ' Lubeth will take with her our best wishes for the best that life offers . Someone well miss when the seniors leave Is a girl that we know will surely achieve With her wistful smile and heart so true Success in this life and happiness too. GEORGE MOTTER George has been a success at Y. C. I. if ever there was one, in spite of the repeated vacations he insists upon taking. During his sophomore year the class claimed him for its president, thus showing its appreciation of the qualities of leadership and individuality which he possesses and which give him a good bid for the title of ' ' Most popular fellow in school. If you ever heard someone tapping the keys in the chapel you could be fairly certain that it was a tall good looking sheik whose nature seemed to indicate him as being a good pal rather than the excellent musician which he is. One of his com- positions took the school by storm and there is every reason to believe that in the future his work will attract the attention of the musical world. He made a mean hero in the Phi Sigma play and, although a hot-air artist, is a confidential pal who was once quoted as saying, Gee but she ' s some queen. Did you see her last night? And he did. Best o ' Luck and then some, Georgie. A handsome boy with a heart of gold Just one of the crowd as you ' ve been told With a smile for each girl and a word for each lad He ' s the pride and joy of his Mother and Dad. 13 '

The Echo RALPH ROCHOW It has been said that red-heads with long legs are very bright, but the exception always proves the rule. Allow us to introduce, Ralph, the boy who once said This is not a cold air school, it is a hot air school. He has accomplished much at Y. C. I., in fact practically everything the school offers. As president of the class in his Junior and Senior years, as well as being one of the most active members of Phi Sigma, he has demonstrated powers of leadership, and a jovial nature has made and retained for him innumerable friends. He is a basketball player of no mean ability and the best bet for the shot put. Being the only one out for this field event we think he will make it — but on second thought he would anyway. If law does not claim his future we know someone ' s heart that will. Here ' s wishing you luck, Ralph. We will often wonder as we think and dream What would have happened to the Junior team If Big Boy Rochow had not been there To win the games for his lady fair. DOROTHY BARBER We never knew Dorothy to be anything but congenial and it necessarily follows that she would be a popular member of the class and school, espe- cially with the boys. Among her favorite pas- times IS that of coming into Algebra class several minutes late, with a wistful expression that forbids even the teacher from demanding an explanation. Very often Dot will be found on the school premises after school ' hours and she generally explains this fact with detention. Without wishing to doubt her word we have often noticed that on the same days a certain tall, handsome, light haired athlete could be found training for some contest or field event. We want you to win, Dorothy, in anything you attempt. A girl who was jolly and full of fun With a smile that seemed like the glowing : And a sweet disposition beyond compare. This friend of ours with golden hair. ■ ■ ■ 2 J K H V . ' L 12

The Echo WILLIAM STOCK If Little William could run on the track as fast as he does away from the girls he would be a relay team by himself. However, he is contented with the high iump event at which he has shown good form. There are two big reasons why he should win that honor — one is his left foot, the other his right. Billy is a nature student who never misses an opportunity to take a ride in his Studebaker — sometimes he takes his books along for company. He once told the girls he loved nature, so they gave him the air but that didn ' t worry Bill. He simply put his mind on his lessons and the marks speak for themselves. We dislike to see him go but you can ' t keep a good man down. So Good Luck, Stock. When away from school or away from home Whatever you do, wherever you roam; Remember us Bill until the end Each one of the crowd is indeed your friend. MARGUERITE REA We may best describe Miss Rea as being a quiet, studious girl who, in spite of these faults, makes many friends. This little ray of sunshine and her pet bull dog attracted quite a lot of atten- tion, probably by reason of the comparison of dispositions. However, Marguerite has shown a lot of perseverance, as her marks will testify. When- ever she goes or whatever lines of endeavor she attempts we are certain she will succeed and wish her the best of luck and then some. A smile and a twinkle in each eye: We saw her laugh but never cry. So may her life thus always be One of happiness and security. 1141
