 Paul is very studious, especially in History, and he can reeite the famous words of the Gettysburg Address ut tered by Gen. Grant in his victorious assault on the British at Yorktown in l4g2. Don't give up the ship. This is his motto. he states, that will bring him up in front of everybody else.

 Harold Arnold
 Orator, scholar, debator, soldier and-a gentleman. Harold Arnold, about SIX feet tall with a special loud speaker attachment His eloquence has held many an audience spelb0und tgeHegallp the feminine elementl with his high pressure yarns. It was only after long and patient research work that l found out that Harold was studious especially in English. One day he forgot to bring his book Co class so he asked Miss Keith if he might go to get it. He was gone so long that Miss Keith at last asked the class if he had said he was going home after it.

He thought that would surely surprise them and iH this l guess he was correct. ti guess it surprised ev- else.l

 We, the Glass of '26 have the privi- lege of boasting of twins among our number The two mentioned are Bessie and Sam Obletz. Bessie says that all her responsibilities were born with her in the shape of her brother Sam It's a common occurrence to hear the two at their daily disputes. Both are also famous for their musical abilities. sam admits he is a one-man orchestra and he certainly can make noise enough for two or three. Bes- sic has been an indispensable member Nt Ltlt stfnNl OENntHAfd TUT i0AA yea for she is a wonder with her violin. Sam also boasts of his undying deyo- tion for Latin. He says the only he doesn't like the girls better is because they all like him so well. However, with Bessie it is just the opposite We have all noticed that fifth period.
