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.

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.

etiske, OFALK 1, “The Seniors know that they know.”’ BOYD PAYTON “T dare do all that may become a man; who dares do more is none.” COMMERCIAL COURSE Athletic Association ’25, ’26; Soccer Team ’26; Base Ball Team ’24, ’26; Literary Society ’23; Assistant Athletic Editor '1ne Oak ’26. This young chap knows all about athletics and has proven it. He is a great soccer player and would rather play soccer than eat. ‘‘Pate’’ is awfully reserved; he doesn’t talk much at any time and when there is a girl around, all Pate does is stand and grin. JAMES POLLOCK “The world is no better if we worry; life is no longer if we hurry.” GENERAL COURSE Basket Ball Team ’24, ’25, ’26; Athletic Association 725, 26; Baseball Team ’24, °25, ’26; Glee Club 725, 726; Track 724. “Jim” is a crack basket ball player and when he shoots a ball, it’s in the basket. There isn’t much he doesn’t know about the ‘‘World Series”’ and the life his- tory of every great athlete. Maybe some day we shall read of marvelous feats which he, himself, has accom- plished on the athletic field. WARDER ROY “T put him down for a gentleman, and he fills the bill.” COMMERCIAL COURSE Theta Kappa ’23; Athletic Association ’25. °26; Lit- erary Society ’°’23; Class officer (Vice-President) ’25; Staff Jolly Junior Journal ’25; Band ’28, ’24, ’25, ’26; Track ’28, ’24, 725, 726. You can fool a State cop, but you can’t fool all the people all the time. So this is why you find Warder in his spare moments checking books at the Union Auto Sales Garage. Warder lives in West Virginia, but has preferred to secure his diploma from a Maryland high school. Thanks, Warder! Maryland appreciates the compliment. JUANITA READY “Good nature and good sense ever join here.” ACADEMIC COURSE Athletic Association ’23, ’24 ’25, ’26; Literary Society 23; Glee Club ’24, ’25, ’26. Juanita Ready has really been caught studying around high school, and we have heard she is an excellent student. She seems to have a difficult time drawing figures in geometry, however.
