Published by The Dalles High School Students, June edition, page 13-14 CHARACTERISTICALS Billie B. is the fattest little lass That we have in all the Senior class; Jim Hill is, you know, the tallest boy With whom all the girls just love to toy; Urban Pashek is the most bashful man That ever you saw or ever you can; Helen Jane is our most original girl Whose hair is without a "wee sma'" curl; Helen Mayer, by far the sweetest maid, At whose feet, we've heard, a heart has been laid; Myrle and Pearl Baker are our cute little twins Who advocated rings, but decided on pins; Thorman Smith, whose life and growth are the shortest, Is above all the rest, the one who is sportiest; Don Wilkinson, we think, will make a professor And a suitable match for Myrle, his possessor; Alice Skelly, the only one in the bunch With a diamond ring, it's Jake, we've got a good hunch; Ruth McCorkle is one fair pedagogue Who rules with a sceptor hewed from a log, Eva Fosnot, a true friend, is yet another And Bertha Forrest is still the other, These three will, we are sure, successes be, "Little children," we'll say, "we pity thee." Exie Morgan is our talented Jigger, One thing more - we wish he were bigger: Earnest Koehler is our curly haired laddie Who would grown an inch so very gladly; Martha Grizzell has the fairest hair An enchantress she is, all go to her lair; Lela Pashek was once her chum But now that's all on the bum. Wilford Saunders who's inclined to be lazy, Has a knowledge of books that's not hazy; Charlotte Thrall with the "light fantastic toe" Is sure to be around wherever boys go; Ivan Roberts does play the cornet And he plays it well, you can bet; Beatrice Powell's our youngest lady About the boys is not at all crazy; But Florence Howell likes them all well Go to it Florence, and be a young belle; Frank Becker is a queer old duck, Sometimes, we think, ruled by Puck. Helen Cooper who lives in the suburbs We know, didn't grow up on herbs; Hazel Eslinger left us too soon Only to come back to graduate in June. Bessie Potts is our historian But we write her name History Anne. Last but not least is the honorable writer If you don't like her remarks, come fight her. -----Odare, '19. Submitted by Earline Wasser
