TI-IE MIRROR Paul R. Jordan Jordan Iinglish Course jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, A. A., '25, '26, '27. l 'I-I0 1110110 an l'llSf7'1llll!'lIf I0 k110w, If the 1110011 shine at full or nn. Paul puzzles us by his inconsistencies. He will remain silent and unresponsive for so long we suspect he knows nothing to say, then he suddenly bursts out with a volley of opinions or abtruse facts that shatter our suspicions. Paul is inquisitive, if a subject interests him, he'll hunt a wherefore for each of its whys. We conjecture that when he appears somewhat bashful or abstract, his mind has been occupied with some secret speculation. Though he occasionally appears mildly humorous or thrilled, his composure isn't ruffled by our ordinary passions and excitements. He will work next year though we expect to later see him an inventor or investigator. May Ellen Kohlhepp Scientific Course Jr. Red Cross, '25, '26, '27, A. A., '27, Glee Club, '27, O, heart, with kindliest ,motion 1vr1r111. If you have heaps and heaps of troubles that simply cry out for some confidante, take our worthy advice and tell them to Slay. All the encouragement you will need is one of her slow sympathetic smiles. hflay is one of those species that you appreciate when you are talk- ing. She listens as if every word were a glittering jewel. One never sees hiay doing some rash act. The most daring thing she ever does is to recite poetry. Poetical recitations are lXIay's meat. hlay does not know just what she is going to do, but we wish her success. Francis Nathan Kohut Kohut Scientiiic Course Class Trasurer, '27, A.

And some that smile imma in their hearts millions of 7lIiSCllZ'Cf.H If you walk into Room T and see an extremely tall youth in over- alls eating candy, don't think the circus is in town. Really we haven't captured the tallest man, but we are running a close second. This is Kohut, our jack of All Trades , for as you have noticed by his activi- ties he does almost anything from taking care of money to shifting scen- ery. But no matter what he undertakes he is usually conqueror if he can be eating candy. Fortunately he did condescend to leave his candy at home when he had his picture taken. But that isn't alll Kohut is an expert speech maker, for every so often he has to come around and re- mind us that we owe some more money. Kohut is going to Penn State next year, and we know he will have just as much fun there as he did in P. H. S.

THE MIRROR l , Orville A. johns 'row' Iinglish Course -lr. Red Cross, '23, '24, '25, '26, '27, A. A., '23, '24, '25, '26, '27, Com- mercial Club, '27. A pleasant lad of youth ana' promise. Orv is a fellow of jovial disposition. In him there are the pos- sibilities of many great things. He can adapt himself quickly to a situa- tion and is capable of learning things very rapidly. On his shoulders sits a head in which there is a brain of extraordinary receptive ability, but sad to say Orv forgets about it very often and does not use it to his best advantage. Orv has a mechanical eye, especiall for Fords. It is hard to tell what he intends to do next year for he is un- decided about whether he is going to college or work. Paul W. jones Pill English Course A. A., '23, '24, '25, '26, '27, Jr. Red Cross, '23, '24, '25, '26, '27, High School Orchestra, '23, '24, 26, 27, High School Band, '25, '27, Or- chestra I,ibrarian, '27, Football, '26. Gi-z'e me some llI'ZlSl'C',' music mood' food I 4 Of us that trazlv 111 love. One glance at Pill's activities and you can readily see where his interest lies. Pill talks music almost every minute of the day, and we believe he even dreams about it. If you have never especially noticed Pill while he is playing, watch him next time. From the motions he goes through, you would imagine he was getting his music from the floor. Anyhow, he certainly can till the air with music. Pill expects to study law at Pitt, and we are sure he will suc- l ceed if he is as interested in law as he is in music. I s Imogene Lucile jordan 4-Jeanaa Classical Course Jr. Red Cross, '24, '26, '26, '27, A. A., '26, '27, Glee Club, '24, '27, Ir. Civic Club, '26, '27, Class Secretary, '26, Knave of Hearts , '27, High School Play, '27, If to lzer slzare some female errors fall, Look out lzrr face, and you'll forget tlzcnz all. Her motto seems to be Live to love , to which she probably adds, variety is the spice of life, for her romances have been legion. ,lean'S character strikingly resembles her delightful role, the Queen of Hearts . She has a queenly temper and woe unto hi1n who defies the royal Will. Being temperamental, ardent and energetic in her likes and dislikes, and quite adventuresome, she is attracted by masculine charms, and vice versa. The same characteristics enter into her studies for she is thorough . in those she likes, and tenacious in those she hates. Then, too, these traits make her a charming, spit-fire actress. Our sincere good wishes follow her to the Coolspring school after Indiana Normal. Nixff VII

T H E M I R R O R Lillian Ruth Kremkau Billie English Course A. A., '25, '26, Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, Jr. Civic Club, '24, '25, Dramatics, '26, Girls' Glee Club, '24, '25. 'Els good be out of Ihc world as out of fashion. Lillian is a bright, good looking girl with a marvelous disposition. She keeps her opinions to herself. But that does not say that she is quiet, for she is far from that. Billie generally knows her lessons and her recitations are almost perfect. She excels in memory work. But Lil is not always studying. She is by nature fitted to catch the eye of the opposite sex and very often Billie uses her charms. Lillian's future is undecided. Peter I. Krucelyak Pete 1 English Course .L .X., '26, '27, jr. Red Cross, '26, '27, Commercial Club, '27, Com- mercial play, '27, Be thou the beam that smiles the clouds away. If the poet had seen Peter when he wrote that verse he would have changed the words Be thou into Thou art. Pete's strongest qual- ity is his smile, not a lip smile, but a face smile, for he seems to smile all over his face at once. There are no clouds when Peter is near for his smiles are so large that they cover all our troubles with undiluted mirth and joy. Peter is deeply interested in what happens about him. Wlhen Bliss Boles and her visitors are talking about old times , he quietly, but surely, closes his book and listens to 'fwhat used to be. Peter is going to work when he leaves school and no one needs to worry about his welfare, because it is humanly impossible to be gloomy or mean when Peter smiles! l 1fI.'QlllL'ClL Helen Leone Lewis SKLOUSU English Course A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Ir. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, Cvlee Club, '24, Art Club, '27. I live not in myself. Helen is one of the seemingly quiet, demure girls of our class but, if you catch her unawares, she has a laugh that's too spontaneous and Contagious to resist so you laugh with her. That's Helen. She works when she has to, otherwise she enjoys herself. Helen loves little children, too, because she always has a kind word and a sweet smile for them when she passes them on the street. They seem fond of her too. Helen intends to go to Indiana Normal. VVe don't know just why she insists on staying so near home but we have our suspicions, Helen.
