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.

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.

T H E M I R R O R Michael Archangel Lorenzo lNIickey A. A., '27, History Play, '26. Tlm'u say'st an HIllIl'Sf7IIfl'Cl thing In such ll solenm way. lXlike is our busy workingman, indeed he is so busy that he often becomes forgetful. Many times he forgets his excuse, or.speaks up when another is reciting, and then when he is called on he has for- gotten what he meant to say. Sometimes lXIike's and XVebster's definitions do not coincide, but lNIickey never lets a small detail like that worry him and he is always ready to laugh when he makes a mistake. lXIike's most outstanding characteristic is seen when he is doing lab work. He always follows the directions given and gets through first. This work appeals to him and he doesn't waste his time fooling when an experiment has to be solved. Mabel I. Lyle Sharky lNIay Commercial Course Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, A. A., '24, '27, Commercial Club, '27. Well-tinted silence hath more l'IUl11lI'IlCl' Ihfzzz Sper't'lz. The above lines certainly suit our Mabel, for as far as we in 'l ' are concerned she speaks only when spoken to. We are certain that Mabel is not afraid to work for any time you happen to glance into Candyland you can see her cheerfully going about her work. Mabel certainly does not believe in loitering for as she walks intently down the street, you can tell by the determined expression on her face that she will reach her destination. Indiana Normal will claim lXIabel next summer and possibly a little red school house next winter. ' jesse H. Lyons Reverend Lyons Pourth Honors ' Classical Course A.

Charm us, orator, 'till the lion, look no larger than the cat. Jesse is at once seen to be an orator, a keen observer, and the pos- sessor of a brain trainedto the logical chain. At times he is very humor- ous and at others very morose. One hardly knows how jesse is going to take a suggestion or idea. He is very mischievous, full of fun and as a rule ready for a good time. At other times he becomes sarcastic and disagreeably sardonie. Often, in informal discussion, he becomes very personal. But as a student and jolly good fellow he is unsurpassed. Kim
