Bloomington High School, The Gothic, 1916, Page 58

Description:	19 GOTHIC 16In The Lime LightThe young man posing in the upper left-hand corner is GarrettRats Browning, the school cartoonist. When snapped, Ratswas just at the point of laughing. He requires several minutes towind up, but after the preliminaries are over, his laugh is well worthhearing (its one of those convulsive, shaky-kneed, foamy kind).The majority of Rats’ friends believe he will settle down andrun for sheriff as soon as he is twenty-one.Just below is Glenn Jones, usually known as Desperate Rudolph.In the picture he is posing as Delbert, the Spring Poet. DelbertRudolph is the only original person in school.Vashon Booker T. Eagleson is Poet Laureate. He has alwaysbeen noted for his wonderfully trained hair and his cutting sarcasms.At meal time he may be seen mashing potatoes at St. MargaretsHall.Just below is most popular young lady in school (Hush, girls) --Carmic. She was once the guardian angel of all the boys, making-it her special duty to keep them out of the pool rooms, etc., but shefound it too much work, and is now centralizing her attention on one.Nothing more propitious could be said about the Burch Twins(58than that most people didnt know there were two of them.Gilbert Corr, alias Hart, Schaffner & Marx, sometimes knownas Wissen, is a ketch-up fiend. He also has the distinction ofknowing every student in the University, and never fails to speak.(Well have to stop here. The joke section begins on page 83.)To the right is Paul Wet Blanket McNabb. He once dwelledin the Stone City, but came to Bloomington in order to receive theadvantages of a city education. Since coming to Bloomington hehas made quite a reputation as a sport-news writer and dopester.Following is Macs All-State Basketball Team for 1916 (same as1915 and 1917): McNabb, forward; McNabb, center; McNabb,guard and captain; et cetera.Justin Schumann won fame by successfully engineering Wood-row Wilson to victory in the election of March 31. Next to BillHoadley, Justin is the worst lady-fusser in school.Nola Adamson is an angel, but her heart is in Wash-wish-sha-ka-sha-wish, Canada. She is destined to be a poetess.Editors Note--We tried to get a picture of Bill Hoadley, butafter the photographer had ruined six films by sneezing, we quit.(58)Image alt-text: Black ink drawing of the heading “In the Lime Light.” The drawing is signed “BROWNING.”
