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

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.

T H E M I R R O R Madeline Mauk Ted Fifth Honors English Course .lr Red Cross. '24, '25, '26, '27, A A, '26, Tickless Time , '27, Torch Staff, '26. Size was :cont Z0 speak plain and to the purpose The word efficiency best describes Ted . She is not a waster of time or words. She does not enter readily into our classroom discus- sions, but, when called upon to recite. she concisely states all she knows, which is usually all there is to be said on the subject. Though she generally is quiet and reserved in class, she can talk volubly and argue heatedly with her more intimate acquaintances. Ted seems to be interested in the exact sciences, for in matters of fact or figure, she is precision itself. She will be found in Indiana Normal this summer. TVC know she will succeed because of her industry and accuracy. Evelyn Marie McCaul1ey Pat Classical Course Jr. Red Cross, '24. '25, '26, '27, A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Jr. Civic Club, '26, '27, Hi-Y, '27, Mirror Board, '27, Torch Staff, '26, Debating Society. '26: Dramatics, '26, Constitutional Speech, '26, Girls' B. B., '25, History, '26. Come and trip it as ye go, On the light ftuztastic toe. The above lines denote Pat's highest ambition. Perhaps you have never seen her clogging? Our advice is: Take the first oppor- tunity. livelyn is also gifted with originality. She is sure to do everything just a little differently. We have often wondered why she does not walk on her hands instead of her feet, just to be different. Pat has been a very efficient and dependable member of the llirror Board, '27, keep- ing the poetry department up to its high standard. Pat is going to attend summer session at Lock Haven Normal this year and then she will take up the teaching profession. VVe some- how feel that later she will go on the stage. Anyhow we wish her lots and lots of luck. Camden W. McConnell Cam Classical and Scientific Course Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Latin Play. '26, '27, High School Play, '26, '27, Rose Vera , '26, Editor-in-Chief, The Torch, '26, Editor-in-Chief, The llirror, '27, Chapel Debate, '27, Chairman, Debating Society, '27, He gave with zest and he gave his best. Cam is an all round school student. 'What he determines to do, he does with a zest and gets it done. No matter how much work he has to do outside of his regular schedule, he does it thoroughly and well. Cam is no impulsive hustler. It is evident that Cam's miiltary life has taught him to take aim before he fires. Cam leads a strenuous military life, too, for he is a fervent member of the C. RI. T. C. and Troop F. Cam will go to XVest Point July l, where we know he will succeed through his executive ability.
