16 LaHFEVOPALK “The Seniors know that they know.”’ ODELL COLAW ““Howe’er it be, it seems to me, ’tis only noble to be good.’”’—Tennyson. ACADEMIC COURSE Glee Club ’26; Biology Club ’26. Odell, from first appearance, is a very quiet and re- served little girl. Don’t draw your conclusions too has- tily, for when you get acquainted with her and there is any fun a-foot, you’ll know Odell is the ring-leader. Odell has been with us only a very short time, but has won a very large place in our hearts. PEARL FRIEND ““Aspasia—A celebrated woman noted for her beauty, genius and political influence.’—International Encylo- pedia. COMMERCIAL COURSE Glee Club ’24, ’25, ’26; Athletic Association ’23, ’24, 25, °26; Literary Society ’23. Pearl is our Aspasia. She knows a lot and is very generous with her knowledge. Pearl is not small; maybe you think that by her size she is awfully slow. But is this true? You ask the boys. They surely ought to know. GLADYS GONDER “Life’s but a span; I’ll enjoy every inch of it.” GENERAL COURSE Athletic Association ’23, ’24, ’25, ’26; French Club ’26; Volley Ball Team ’25, ’26 (Captain); Basket Ball Team 23, 25; Class Office (vice-president) ’23. ’24, ’26; Glee Club ’28, ’2 4, ’25; Dramatic Club ’23, ’25; Staff The Oak °26; Jolly Junior Journal ’24. Gladys is all right! Everybody likes her and she sure is a “‘winner.”’ She came out first in the Fraley Decla- mation Contest and she always stars in the O. H. S. plays. Three cheers for Gladys! ! ! GENEVIEVE GONDER “Woman was born for two things: to talk and to marry.”’ ACADEMIC COURSE Biology Club ’26; Athletic Association ’25, ’26; Volley Ball Team ’28, ’24, ’25, ’26; Literary Society ’23; Glee Club ’24, ’25, ’26; Basket Ball Team ’23, ’24; Algebra Club ’23; Jolly Junior Journal Social Committee. Genevieve is one of our quiet girls, but once you get her started she is well able to hold her own. It is hinted that she has a life-time position awaiting her when she receives her sheepskin. We know she will make some man a good wife.

TSE PE OPAGIKS iS “The Seniors know that they know.”’ JOHN BIRKHEIMER “In arguing still, he owns his skill, For e’en though vanquished, he could argue still.” ACADEMIC COURSE Secretary-Treasurer Theta Kappa Club ’23; Editor The- ts Kappa Gazette ’23; Athletic Association ’23, ’24, ’25; Glee Club ’26; Debating ’25, ’26; Editor Jolly Junior Journal ’25; Editor The Oak ’26. When John Birkheimer was asked if he thought he would graduate, he said, “I am not worrying; the teachers do it all for me.” John is very kind hearted. He has been seen several times giving ten dollar bills (Confederate money) away. John certainly did do his best to make our year book a success. ROBERT BOWMAN “T said to myself, I will be good, and wise, and brave, and helpful to others.” COMMERCIAL COURSE Class poet; Athletic Club ’26; Literary Society ’23; Glee Club ’26; Track ’23, ’24, ’25, ’26; Band ’23; Jolly Junior °25 Art Editor; Advertising Committee Year Book. This is Bob, just a friend of us all. His knowledge of bookkeeping is not very small. He certainly knows how to put his commercial knowledge into practical use when it comes to selling tickets for school plays. HELEN BROWNING “Time tells, so be patient.’’ COMMERCIAL COURSE Athletic Association ’25; Literary Society ’23; Glee Club ’24; Jolly Junior Journal ’25; Algebra Club ’23; Track ’26. Out of Friendsville came this young lady; so young, so sweet and radiant. Our Helen is a mighty fine girl. She always knows her lessons and, you can rest assured, she doesn’t waste any time in anything. She’s a good worker and a ‘“‘go-getter.”’ FRANCES COGLEY “T shall always have my own way.” ACADEMIC COURSE Biology Club ’26; Athletic Association ’23, ’24, °25; Glee Club ’24, ’25; Track ’23. Frances is always happy. She is giggling all the time. But when she gets mad, you had better watch out. She is able to take her part in anything. If talking is of any «vail, she ought to get where she wishes in life. Frances is a marvelous Latin student. Ask Miss Ruth.

A jolly good fellow is Roger, so full of mischief, wit and glee. But, regardless of his frivolity and light heartedness. Roger has great talent. He is a born artist and some day he ought to be famous as a magazine illustrator. MERLE HAMILL “She looks so innocent and sly; yet she really is so wise” ACADEMIC COURSE French Club ’26; Biology Club ’26. Here is Merle, the girl that never speaks until she is spoken to. She is very studious and has never failed in a lesson since she has been in high school. This is say- ing “‘somethin g,’’ and Merle holds a unique position in school as a result. WILLIAM KNOTTS “Scorch with thy lips the burning toast, Here’s to the one that grows the most.’”—Will Carleton COMMERCIAL COURSE Atheletic Association ’23, °’24, ’25; Literary Society 723; Jolly Junior Journal ’23 (Joke Editor); O. H. S. Band ’23, 24, ’25, ’26; Year Book ’26 (Assistant Busi- ness Manager) ; Track ’24. Our Bill is very tall and thin but he has a powerful lot of wind when it comes to blowing a bass horn. To hear him, one would think his ‘‘six feet’? were around his chest. Bill can tell jokes. and good ones, too. CARRIE KOLBFLEISCH “Still water runs deep.” ACADEMIC COURSE Glee Cub ’26. Carrie is one of our best students. Carrie does not wear her heart upon her sleeve, and if anyone can claim her as a friend, he knows that he has a real one.
