Bitter Truth: "Her modest looks the cottage might [probably will] adorn."
Debate.
This young buck is long-legged and loquacious. It is easy to understand why he is such an able debater--he has been practicing all his life. With this accomplishment, plus his love of absorbing pages of history, Vernon should leave Harvard four years hence well prepared for a fist-thumping career as a lawyer.
Bitter Truth: He knows only one way to use his eyes.
The fatal period--English of course. Scott's lived through eight semesters of the wicked things. However, engineering is his delight, and he gets plenty of experience from making blue prints for his father. He is now striving to sprint to a letter in track.
Bitter Truth: If anybody ever publishes Scott's writings he may become famous in the world of letters.
Scissors poised, eyes alert, hands in place ready to cut a lovely garment--and you see Hattie. Her chief interest lies in the realm of costume design. But she knows how to design bandages for fingers and swollen elbows too, since she absorbed a course in home crafts.
Bitter Truth: She used to be Hattie Lolley; now do you know her better?
Mary, Mary, quite contrary.
She's peppy and full of surprise; You think she's this and you think she's that, Get next to her friend and be wise. Mary thinks she would be sitting pretty if her swimming stroke could pull her through chemistry.
Bitter Truth: She's really not responsible for all those calls to the office. There's another Mary Thompson.
Girl Reserve.
In springtime or in fall, when the out-doors seems to call. There's nothing Wilna likes better than some good ole hikes. "Oh, That We Two Were Maying," seems fair to develop into "O Promise Me" when "The Good Old Summertime" rolls around.
Bitter Truth: She likes Ford roadsters for there's only room for two.
Mildred saves up her ideas for use in art class, so the reason for her customary silence is not that she has none. She merely has an aversion to reckless prolific advertising. Mildred believes in the old Mosaic Law, her slogan being, " a tooth for a tooth." That is why she makes you cultivate her acquaintance before showing you how interesting she can be.
Bitter Truth: Mildred's highest ambition is to help paint the Eiffel Tower
Evelyn is small but her giggle isn't. She finishes her high school career in three and a half years and she has typed 3,161 ½ letters, balanced 49 ½ books, and has sewed 30,000 stitches on a sewing machine, and in all has climbed 40,885 steps while here.
Bitter Truth: She doesn't like her name; she'll probably change it.
Glee Club, T-Club, Booster Club, Girl Reserves.
Dear little "Buttercup" is wee but flighty. Sweetly she warbles her directions to her melodious subjects. She is exceedingly graceful at performing Spanish dances--a la piano. In fact anything hinting of that romantic country thrills her. She was so entranced by the language that she took four years of it.
Bitter Truth: She dined on mush and milk for weeks before "pinafore."
Bashful Bill with the ladies, and "Big Bad Bill" with the under-class masculine gender who strive to take away the interclass football and basketball laurels. Bill likes to frolic and it's the unrestricted fellow like him who puts the wow in Pow Wow.
Bitter Truth: The girls say he's just too darling in his tuxedo.
T-Walkers, Glee, Girl Reserves.
Marjorie is the blue-eyed blonde who ushers you to your seat at the plays and makes such a fine end on the T at the games. She is the happy medium between the old-fashioned girl and the modern flapper. "Margie" ought to be wise--she's librarian for the Mendelssohn Club.
Bitter Truth: She hordes the books like a wise man hordes his gold.
T-Club, Orchestra.
The sweet strains of the violin float out into the softness of a warm spring night. They are directed by the talented bow in the hand of Bernice of the black locks. She swims, rides [an automobile] and dances. That diversity of exercise ought to make up a daily dozen.
Bitter Truth: She's rouged an ruddy.
By the cute curl which he wears over one eye, ye shall know him. Emmett believes "Never do today what can be put off until the middle of next week," consequently he never hurries. His teachers' anathemas fall about him like a cracked ceiling.
Bitter Truth: He'd be a face card in any deck.
Helen is that black-haired new-comer who has proved such a conscientious worker. She can make a needle fly and a frying pan shiver. We have heard she is quite a splasher too.
Bitter Truth: She is rumored to be enticing the office to set the school clocks back.
