Justine's lovely long hair has caused her a peck of trouble. She has even been attacked by mobs of girls with scissors. If you want to know how to farm successfully, ask Justine, for she is said to be a good farmerette.
Bitter Truth: She's never found a boy who could keep step with her.
Tennis.
When tennis balls were first ironed out, John made a racquet and played the game in the cradle. "Bum" is as cool as a cucumber on the court. He likes girls but remains single and studies hard. "The words of the wise are as choice silver" and John imparts it's every consistency in his manner of speech.
Bitter Truth: He pots ducks on off-days, eats spaghetti on Monday, and strings beans on Tuesday.
Mary is as quiet as a June afternoon. She has to be, as her powerful eyes and red-lipped smile would play havoc should she attract mob attention. Serious, too. Mary handles a Ford as well as her brother, John does, and usually gets a head start for the steering wheel.
Bitter Truth: She is hard to understand.
Jewell rides her hobby horse with a piano in one hand and an Orpheum program in the other, while she juggles a volume of Cicero on her head. She reserves her "talk" for a few choice friends who can vouch for her happy disposition. The A's fall into her lap like ripe apples.
Bitter Truth: The desire to discover the vamp in Caesar's life.
Evaporate Gloomy Gus. You've met your match in Pearl. She's the eternal gloom chaser; and as cheerful as a chickadee even in a deluge of organization write-ups. Pearl's some cook--no wonder, she's Miss Mayer's cousin--and when she burns the beans, she just whistles "too tired to feed the fishes."
Bitter Truth: People minus manners get her goat.
Tom is specializing in the manual arts, and intends to try South America as a field for agricultural implement selling. This is his goal. Geology is his sideline and hobby, and he is also a mappist of no mean ability.
Bitter Truth: He's girl-proof.
Honor Society, Senate, Girl Reserves, Dramatics, Tom Tom.
The perfect lady. Kind and considerate to dumb animals--the male species of the high school genus--but barely tolerating them. She laughs, loves, lifts, and above all works. She is a versatile actor, can imitate a clodhopper or a broken-hearted war mother with equal understanding.
Bitter Truth: She's one blond who is satisfied with her hair.
Some more red hair appears on the scene. John says he is going to be an oil man and will pursue his profession a few years before going to college. He has specialized in mechanical drawing, but it would take a genius to draw all his freckles. Basket-ball is his hobby.
Bitter Truth: He parts his hair like a veteran.
Louise is completely enchanted by Foods. Foods are her hobby and to be a Foods teacher her ambition. Whenever she can tear herself away from the company of Miss Hamm, she hikes or plays baseball. As far as Louise is concerned, six weeks tests are an unnecessary nuisance.
Bitter Truth: If it were only Vanderbilt--but it's Vanderford.
Georgia Lewis is one of the snappiest all-around girl athletes in school. She is kinda tiny but she clears the bar at five feet six inches and plays ball like a whipping flame. Georgia is like a blue steel spring when it's all wound up, since you just have to touch the right chord and away she goes.
Bitter Truth: You never get really acquainted with her.
He often reminds one of the medieval cavalier when he addresses the ladies. He likes political questions and handles them with the ease of a professional. He likes to read about the cow-boys in Spain. Wonder if he doesn't like the senoritas as well.
Bitter Truth: Sancho Panza imitated Leonardo.
Joe attended Sapulpa high for three and one half years. While there he was an accomplished actor, participating in several plays. In his short time here he became known chiefly for his public speaking ability. His chief wail is that he has not had time to meet as many good-looking girls here as he knew in Sapulpa.
Bitter Truth? It takes more than one school to fill his brain.
G. R., Athletic Association, T. N. T.
Georgia is a good sport who knows how to give and take a large share of good-natured raillery. She is president of T. N. T. and looks forward to a fruitful career in the teaching profession. She is so fond of hiking that she has become quite a familiar before-and-after-school pedestrian between Tulsa High and her home out in Kendall.
Bitter Truth is missing from this one.
Swimming, Boys' Glee, Athletic Association.
At the age of four he made a name for himself on the wall paper; at five, he arranged apples in columns; at six, he knocked the teeth out of the family cat and printed a news paper. Since then Ferd has made a name for himself in the matrix world.
Bitter Truth: "Some one loves a fat man."
