LOUISE OSTER COMMERCIAL A Dresden china doll, lovely, fragile-that can be no one but Louise.

Need we re- mark that Rosalie is to be sought, if Haze is to be found, but we should remark that her efficient preparation of daily assign- ments entitles her to a place of regard in our memories. Glee Club, X, Cinema Club, XI, Probies' Club, XII. J. DONALD PLOTNER ACADEMIC Some five feet of gleeful connivance topped off with a wisp of rusty-colored hair, and a countenance liberally sprinkled with freckles comprise our Don. Though he is quite a disturber, at times, of the general peace, Don does everything in the spirit of fun. Band, X, XI, Chef Club, XII, Hi-Y, XII. DOROTHY A. POST COMMERCIAL This is the lady with the business approach, brisk and habit- ually smiling, with immaculate precision in appearance and in the management of school business.

PURCELL PRACTICAL ARTS In the future when we think of reliance and self-possession, our reflections will bring back memories of Perk in the roll of the drummer boy. The quiet kind he'll always be, and to success he holds the key. Band, X, XI, Orchestra, X, XI, XII, Football, XI, XII. WILLIAM S. QUAILE ACADEMIC Lefty is one person who has captured the enviable trait of usually being around, but seldom being heard. Always indus- trious and sincere, he can be easily described as a regular fellow. And as for a handy first baseman, a better one can- not be found. Cinema Club, X, Baseball, X, XI, XII, Chef Club, XII.

SARITA MCHUGH COMMERCIAL The Curly blond head that Sarita bears is fairly whirling with secretarial duties and with athletics. It controls a heart well filled with sterling qualities. Hurrying about school, scudding up and down the hockey field, or racing down the basketball floor, Sarita is always on the go. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, Basketball, X, XI, XII, Hockey, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Hi-Y, XII. WILLIAM J. MCHUGH PRACTICAL ARTS Here we have had a promising young artist among us all these years, and we never knew it until recently. Of course, he never told us! But, indeed, true genius cannot be long concealed. You have our best wishes, Bill. HOWARD F. MESSICK ACADEMIC When glancing at Morsey, one sees a tall blond figure of aristocratic bearing with a calm and serious countenance. More- over, his many acquaintances will testify to Morsey's steady- ing influence in situations where good judgment and sound thinking are in demand. Basketball, X, XI, Baseball, XI, Varsity Club, XI, XII. WILLIAM E. METZ PRACTICAL ARTS Judging by the way Bill ambles through the hall, he never seems to have a care in the world. But when he reaches his destination, he is all business. Need we tell you that often business, for him, is a session with the big brass horn. Band, X, XI, XII, Orchestra, X, XI, XII. 26 L COMMERCIAL Working himself to a frazzle for the honor of the basketball team or laboring doggedly on the baseball field, Monk always gives his best. Thus he is a true sportsman. For that he can be proud, for that we are proud of him. FLORENCE E. MILLER COMMERCIAL If sympathy and a patient manner are the keynotes of friend- ship, then Flossie bids fair to attract a host of companions. But our loss is someone else's gain, for she will surely become an eflicient addition to the nursing profession. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, Basketball, X, XI, Library Club, XI, Hi-Y, XI, XII, Probies' Club, XII. EVELYN R. NICOTERA COMMERCIAL Here is pictured one of our Winsome brunettes. Ev is a person of few words, but then she needs few, for her eyes speak for her. Her graceful acceptance of any event to come, fashions an unruffled disposition. Ev's unaffected and sincere actions give her innumerable supporters. Glee Club, X, Library Club, XI, Bloomsburg Club, XII. LEVINIA F. NUTT LE COMMERCIAL That Titian locks are a sign of a hasty temper has often been displayed, but Kewpie's case is persuasive evidence that this is not true. Furthermore, her appreciation for beauty has its outlet in creative sketching, a talent of limitless possibili- ties. Library Club, XI.

JOSEPH F. QUIRK ACADEMIC Joe might be a little short in stature, but he is not in the least short of the qualifications of a true athlete-sportsman- ship, teamwork, and skill.

ROACH ACADEMIC We need not explain why Warren received the nickname Gabby. That is apparent.
