T H E M I R R O R Mary Louise Mitchell lNIitch Classical Course Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, jr. Civic Club, , '26, '27, President, jr.

Mitch is a busy body. She marches into T, surveys the room with brown eyes that are seldom blue, looking for delinquent debtors, then Hits off on an errand-after money, probably. Tender and con- scientious, opposition or rebuke pierces her to the quick, she pouts a little, then returns to the fray, her eyes flashing fire and her tongue hurling logic with a conviction that withers the opposition. Her amiabil- ity and practical logic, not without a sense of taste, should help her suc- ceed in Home Economics, or kindergarten work. 'We wish you success, Louise, indeed, who would have the heart, or the nerve, to fail to do so? Helen Juanita Mogle ' H-lenks slr. Red Cross. '24, '25, '26, '27, A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Thus I Sfflll' my bark, ana' Sail O11 even keel, iaith gentle gala' Here is our Helen. a distinguished member of the ranks of the anti- cliatter mobilization. Helen doesn't rend the air with static but remains silent until someone tunes in for a real conversation. Sometimes Helens silence is so golden that we have to have the precious metal hauled away, liyperbolically speaking. Ili-len seems to live a life of contentment and not that of an ex- citt-ment-seeker, but nevertheless, when she knows that real fun is afoot l amongst ln-r crowd, she drops her silent reserve and enters it whole- ln-arteflly. XYliat do you say to that, Helen? Carmella G. Mondi 3Iillie English Course Ir. Red Cross, '26, '27, Commercial Club, '27, Fair tresses ma1z's imperial race erzslzaref' 3lillie , the petite brunette in T , is one of the few in our midst, who has not had her raven tresses cut. Since 3lillie came to us two years ago from lIcCalmont High School, we have not been able to get as intimately acquainted with her as we should have liked because of her reclusive nature. She speaks only when spoken to. 1Iillie's close companion and her right hand man is her compact. ln history class she prefers Mr. Compact to the gallant George VVash- ington, the heroic Gen. Grant and other distinguished friends. llillie hasn't decided yet what she will do next year, but there is lots of room in the world for small people. Our best is with lNIillie . 1 l,. i Ttwzzfy-Iitvf

THE MIRROR Dale Eugene Means lXIeans Classical Course A. A., '26, '27g jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27. I was m'-ver less alone than when by myself. Dale does not talk to us very much. He seems to be content to converse with himself. When he does talk with us, he keeps the conver- sation on general and not personal subjects. Means is a slow, deliberate worker, when he applies himself to his studies, he forgets the world about him and concentrates on the subject at hand. Dale's chief interests are Fords and Math and Science. Dale will either come back to P. H. S. for a Post Graduate course or he will take Math at some college. Some day he will be a skilled mathematician and then we know he will have added and multiplied success. 'Su . Consetta C. Mennetti Conny Commercial Course jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, Commercial flub, '27, Sales Skit , '27, Underwood Bronze Medal, '27, Bookkeeping Pin, '27. I will speak zlaggers, but use none. Conny doesn't even need to speak daggers, not to mention using them. Her eyes can speak worlds of meaning. XYhen she wishes, she can just Smack you down with a disdainful glance. One rarely sees Conny when she wishes to ditribute disdainful glances, but neverthe- less, she is proficient in the art. Conny has a disposition that is accustomed to being sunny and cheery, but, when a cloud crosses her path, you can be sure its going to ram. Consetta will do office work next year. XVe wish her success. Paul Raymond Miller Paul Scientific Course A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27g The Pot Boiler , '27. The spirit that there lies sleeping now, llluy 1'i.s'c like IZ giant and make amen bow. Paul is one of those people who always has something to say about the subject which is being discussed. He is witty but not excessively. He is a very ready talker and likes to tell his experiences. VVhen talking about himself, he relates an adventure in such a manner that one would think that it had been told to him and that he had not participated in the matter at all. And his modesty is not assumed. It must be this which makes people like him so quickly on short notice and which com- pels their lasting friendship. Paul is going to take up the work of an expert mason. Ttccfzlj'-ff

T H E M I R R O R Clarence C. Morris Clarnse Scientific Course A. A., '26, '27, Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, History Play, '24, The man that bluslzes is not quite ll brute. Clarence hates to be disturbed. lf he is studying, he wants to tinish his lesson, or, if he is talking, he desires to get the last word said. Also, too often it is his conversation which has to be interrupted. t'larence is too polite to tell us outright that we should act differently so he gives us gentle hints, sometimes their gentleness keeps them from taking effect. Clarence is a loy'al comrade of the less conspicuous among us, and why should it be otherwise since fame is not to be judged by worldly mea- sures? ' Clarence is going to work next year, and we do not hesitate to say that his employer will find Clarence a kind, faithful, and hard worker. L james Grant Nolph Nolph Scientific Course A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, History Play, '24, Fire Prevention XVeek Play, '24 Nothing doing for me, love and science efuuzuz' agree. Grant, tall, dark, mysterious looking, is our private impression of the perfect hero. If asked, Grant would assure you that Gentlemen prefer blondes , but this is hardly the place for an interview. As known to everyone, Grant is very fond of radios. It is rumored that he listens in till the wee small hours of the morning . The number of stations on which he has listened in as posted in Nolph's window attest to his eternal vigilance in affairs of the air. XVC heartily applaud Grants choice of Culver or I-Boston Tech and we are sure he will succeed in either institution. Benj arnm Oscherowitz Ben Classical and Scientific Course A. A., '26, '27, Ir. Red Cross, '24. '25, '26, '27. Fear not to touch the best. Ben is the possessor of a most remarkable mind, but he does not injure it by overwork. Sometimes he does not do his best because he realizes that he can slip through without that much exertion. llut we must not condemn him too strongly for that, because we feel sure he will soon learn the joys of mental fatigue. Ben has not decided what he is going to do. but we sincerely hope that he will take up some line of lXIath. During his four years in High School he has amazed us by his ability to understand and solve problems. So we hope that lien will follow his natural inclination, because he seems to have learned to speak the language of tigures. Ticfizfy-llzree
