SESE e OSAR IS 7) ROGER GLAZE “None but himself can be his parallel.’’ ACADEMIC COURSE Theta Kappa Club ’23; Biology Club ’26; Athletic As- sociation ’25, ’26; Literary Society ’23; Glee Club ’25, 26: Bachelors’ Club ’26; Track ’28, ’24, ’25, ’26; Base Ball Team ’25; Staff The Oak ’26. 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.

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.

ay EieEF OFA K “The Seniors know that they know.” GENEVIEVE MENEAR “T should worry and get a wrinkle; I should smile and get a dimple.” COMMERCIAL COURSE Biology Club ’26; Athletic Association ’25, ’26; Glee Club ’25, ’26; Algebra Cl ub ’23. “Gen ” is a gay little girl and always smiling. When she sits down to a typewriter, “look out!’ She sure can make the letters fly and one is liable to hit you with a bang. ‘‘Gen’”’ makes lots of ‘‘hits’, but not always in this way. CARLTON MILLER “Thou movest under all the forms of truth.” COMMERCIAL COURSE Theta Kappa ’23; Athletic Association ’25, ’26; Soccer Team ’25, ’26; Baseball ’°24, ’25; Literary Society ’23; Glee Club ’25, ’26; Track ’23, ’24, ’25, ’26; Athletic Edi- tor Jolly Junior Journal ’25; Advertising Manager The Oak ’26. “Hoot” received his famous name because of his won- derful imitation of an owl in looking wise. He is never caught napping. His kick on the soccer field has won him county-wide fame. ‘‘Hoot’s’” right there with the goods when it comes to athletics and studies. AUBURN NINE “Good temper. like a sunny day, sheds brightness over everything.” ACADEMIC COURSE Biology Club ’26; Athletic Association ’25, ’26; Glee Club ’25, ’26; Staff Jolly Junior Journal ’25; Algebra Club ’23. Auburn Nine stands high in class. She tries her best to always pass. There isn’t a doubt but that she will make a wonderful teacher some day. MARGARET ORENDORF “Her voice was ever gentle, soft and low; an excellent thing in woman.” ACADEMIC COURSE Athletic Association ’25; Glee Club ’26. Peg is one of those placid little blue-eyed blond girls who winds her way into everyone’s heart. She is brainy and intelligent, but so quiet about it that very few know it until her test papers tell on her. Margaret is rather reserved on first appearances but once the ice is broken the reserve falls and she goes in for fun and pranks with a vim. Here’s to Peg and her brilliant future.
