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.

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.

20 Petigke OFA KK LOUISE SHREVE “The beauty that is borne here in the face, the bearer knows not, but commends itself to others eyes.” ACADEMIC COURSE Athletic Association ’25; Glee Club ’26. Tall, blond and nice looking is Louise, and her hair is not bobbed, either. She is one of the old-fashioned girls and is good to look upon. Louise is a good Latin student babi we hear otherwise about her being a good geometry student. JAMES WOLF “What is worth doing at all is worth doing well.’’ COMMERCIAL COURSE Vice President Athletic Association ’25; President Ath- letic Association ’26; Soccer Team ’22, ’23, ’24, ’25: Cap- tain Soccer Team ’22, ’24, ’26; Basket Ball Team ’22. 23, °24, ’25, ’26 (Captain) ; Class President ’22, ’23, ’24, 25; Glee Club ’25, ’26 (Secretary and Treasurer) ; Track 22, ’23, ’25, ’26; Year Book Staff Athletic Editor ’26. “Jim” is a “Jim Dandy” in every way. What would we have done without him as a class member? He is a born leader and when it comes to doing anything for the O. H. S., leave it to Jim and it will be done. ISABELLE WEST “Beauty depends more than anything else on the gift of being able to put it over.” COMMERCIAL COURSE Class Treasurer ’23; Class Secretary ’24; Class Vice- President ’25; Girls’ Basket Ball ’23; Athletic Associa- tion ’23, ’24; Glee Club ’24, ’25, ’26; Staff Jolly Junior Journal ’25; Staff The Oak ’26. Isabelle is one of our worthwhile Commercial students. She makes the old typewriter hum and takes shorthand like a wiz. Izzy sings, too, and dances like a fairy. She ought to go on the stage but has decided to enter Johns Hopkins next fall as a nurse. Won’t she be a darling! WILEY WELLING “Three things shine: the sun, the moon and my hair.” COMMERCIAL COURSE Athletic Association ’23, ’24, ’25, ’26; Soccer Team ’26; Glee Club ’25, ’26; Track ’22, 23; Boy Scouts. Wiley is known to the students of the O. H. S. as “Red.’’ Guess why? It’s because he is so bright that his brightness makes his hair shine ‘‘Red.” He is the best natured boy in school. He ranks high in athletics, in studies and in school spirit. He is an all around good fellow. He won in the school declamation contest.
