1 I17fI IQITTY ACCARDI In our midst there is a girl whom we like to have around because she doesn't seem to indulge in gossip and tale bearing. Kitty certainly does keep her doings to herself, but perhaps she has interests other than in P. H. S. ? ? ? f'Kitty is a splendid person with a lovable disposition, she is seen, but not always heard. BETTY ACHENBACH 'fBetty is always ready to lend a helping hand to someone. She is a very quiet, modest young lady. However, at the right time and place she regains her speech. Her sunny disposition cannot long remain latent and has won for her many lasting and true friends. She is also a fine and conscientious student. BETHSAIDA ADAMS f'Betty is one of the most popular girls in our class. During her stay in school she has set a high standard for herself, which she has always maintained. She has a pleasing personality, seeming quietness, a good sense of humor, athletic and executive ability, and nimble feet-all in all, a versatile girl. Orchids to you, Beth, for the example you have set! MYRTLE ADAMS Though Myrtle is the essence of merriment and hilarity, she can be serious to a certain degree. Of all her various moods, the most characteristic one is that of jollity. She merged herself into the very fiber of school life, emphasizing athletics and organizations to such an extent that she has attained an enshrined position among us. NICHOLAS ANTHONY Little, but oh my! is the best phrase with which to characterize Nick Anthony. He is always ready with a gay Hi-ya or similar salutation and has one of those smiles, necessitated by his keen sense of humor, which never seems to wear off. Keep it, Nickg it will prove a valuable asset. SUZANNE ANTHONY This bit of ever-changing girlhood is Sue, who appeared on the scene at P. H. S. from Minersville for her senior year. One moment she appears serious Cstrangers usually doj. The next moment she is laughing and chattering. She has a sunny nature and pleasing disposition. May she continue to keep her happy outlook on life! JOSEPH ATKINSON What a man! He is no genius, 'but he has that certain thing that commands attention in a big way. The more you see of him, the better you like him. joe is a bit different. It must be the gypsy in him. VVhatever it is, it makes him a very likable young man. BETTY BATH Another blonde? Yes, we hasten to inform you and assure you that at times she complies with the popular conception of one-dizzy. Betty, we must say, just doesn't seem to be cut out for a life as a stenographer. We predict that the air she will walk to will he that famous Lohengrin one. IRENE BEACH Irene is not as reserved as she pretends. WVe who know her better know that she is fun-loving, jolly, and playful. She likes to dream and does not worry about book larnin ' and such stuff. One must prove a true friend if he wants the friendship of Irene. JOHN F. BECKER John is our representative from the commercial section, and a worthy one is he. He is a diligent and steady worker. This plus his enjoyable personality has made him a bright and well-liked scholar. While he has not made himself conspicuous in school affairs, he is, nevertheless, a very loyal supporter. CHARLES BEDFORD Quiet, attentative, and well liked in schoolg friendly, carefree, and well liked outside of school-that's Charlie, His ever-present smile and his gay and witty personality have brought him many and loyal friends. He is a capable and diligent worker who believes in taking things as they came and making the best of them. EDWARD BELL Some fun, no? 'fEddie is our official mischief-maker and joke-thinker-upper. He is fond of girls, and it is in their presence that his best jokes are sprung. He has a way of getting into and out of trouble. Beware, Eddie, love has its manifold dangers. DOR0'l'llX' BENSEMAN ffDottiel That name always conjures a picture of happiness and good cheer. One need not be at the head of the class to be liked, for Dot has quite a few friends. But then Dottie's splendid character accounts for that. She goes along steadily and cheerfully and deserves the good fortune we wish her. LOUISE BERGER Here is one of our most charming Senior girls.-Not onlyazloes she have a delight- ful personality, but she also has combined with it a knack of wearing clothes and a sense of humor that make her stand out above the crowd. Louise's talent lies in her art work-and the art of making friends. MARY LOUISE BEYERLE Hail to thee, blithe spirit! Mary Louise excels in the art of piano play- ing. She is a Hne dancer and has gained quite a reputation as such. She is a beautiful singer, is a member of the musical clubs, and has given of her time freely as an accompanist for them. This peppy gal is also a staunch supporter of all P. H. S. activities. at them Mat tate!

RUTH BILLMAN 'fRuthie is steadfast and very dependable. The nicest thing about her is that she is always herself and never puts on airs. Once a friend, always a friend. She has many virtues and is an apt student-the answer to a teacher's prayer. Such a person is bound to prosper. She has the good wishes of her many friends. ADESSA BLACKER Another East Side fiddler! She has lent her loyal support to the Symphony Orchestra during her stay at P. H. S. and has risen to a notable position in the first Violin section. She is also a member of the vocal groups, having shown her decided interest in music. Besides these accomplishments, she is a very industrious student. MELVIN BUUDER We present one of our shop, Melvin Bouder. Outwardly he seems quiet, but don't deceive yourself for he is quite explosive. While he does not have many outstanding activi- ties, what he does he does well. He is a likable, fun-loving chap who tries hard. May he attain his desiresl HELEN BOWEN This happy-go-lucky girl is always scheming some farcial stunt and carrying it out. Her funny gestures and manners have made her very popular about the school and town. We Wonder if she has ever been really serious. VVe hope that her spirit of hilarity may continue to be her chief stock-in-trade. ROY BOWEN Roy is quiet at timesQ?j and invariably in a good humor. His ready smile and willing hand have made many proud to have him as a friend. He is strongly attached to baseball and basketball and has loyally supported the P. H. S. teams through victories and defeats. Roy has also filled the roll of student-when necessity demanded. PIARRY BRECKER 'fYou've gotta be a basketball hero would seem to answer the purpose in this case. Harry appears to have attracted the attention of certain senior girls, and we don't question the reason for this state of affairs. Harry was our basketball captain-a good athlete who pos- sessed a sense of sportsmanship and fair play. JOHN BRENNEMAN jack is one of the more quiet boys in school, but outside they say he's dif- ferent. He is greatly interested in camp-life, horseback riding, swimming, boating, and athletic contests. He is particularly interested in baseball and has been a reputable pitcher of an East Side team. He also claims membership on the P. H. S. track team. GEORGE BRETZ We feel sure that George will be one of our future scientists, chemists, or doctors. He has always shown a great interest for science, even after having been burned about the face with acid when one of his concoctions failed to work. He is a firm believer in the adage that we learn to do by doing, so continue to do, George! HELEN BRIDGE Another BMI These B's seem to possess an attraction, for it seems they all travel together. f'Trussels is one of the best-liked girls of our class. With her sunny disposition, friendly smile, and gay wit, making friends is an easy task for her. Bridget is also quite pop- ular ffrom what we hearj among the so-called Hstrongerl' sex. BETTY BROWER Believe it or not, appearances really are very deceiving. To many of the unini- tiated, HBlu-Blu appears to be a quiet, dainty blonde. However, don't make any mistake about that! In a recent autobiography Betty states that her main hobby and recreation is to ride about our fair country-side admiring the scenery after basketball games f?j. MOLLY BROWN Molly is truly the miracle girl of the class-the only person who is completing the four-year high school course in three. We are duly proud of her. She is exceptionally bright, and nothing but a brilliant future can be seen for such a Miss. Maybe Pennsylvania will have a Congresswoman in years to come. Who knows? NORMAN BROWNMILLER Red hair, freckles, and a smile, and 'fBrownie flashes in your mind. He is a lady's man, always chatting with the girl friends, Maybe it's the red hair or a hidden magnet? His other pastimes are playing basketball and howling. BARBARA BUEHLER Here comes 'fBabs chattering with her special pal, Burnsie, giving us an idea of what an attractive dark-haired Miss is like. Her favorite expression seems to be, 'fHave you seen my 'hunk of heaven'? She is one of our athletically inclined seniors-one with plenty of pep and personality. Hats off to an ardent booster of P. H. S. ROBERT BUEHLER Peanut is the name, originating probably from the fact that he is a model boy in a small shell, the shell being his periods of silence. He's so small that he has to convince everyone he is really a senior by expressing his great knowledge. His height may help him in later years to walk under the difficulties which will confront him. MARY LOUISE BURNS A laugh, a grin, or maybe twinkling toes comes into one's presence, and we have HBurnsie. Personality, plus plenty of pep, make her one of the best-known girls of our Alma Mater. 'fBurnsie' is very much interested in all sports. We Wonder why? When cheering is in order, Mary certainly adds her share to it. eniou 18
