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

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 Ruth Stauff er Palmer ccRuc1ya7 Classical Course Ir. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Dramatics, '26, Girls' ll. B., '24, '25, Girls' Glee Club, '24, Jr. Civic Club, '24, '25, '26, '27, Girls' Hi-Y, '27, Torch Staff, '26. In her tongue is tlze law of kiml1zess. Rudy has several hobbies, the most important of which are dancing and sports. NVe have often tried to find out which she enjoys most, but -all to no avail. When Ruth hears some good music, her eyes begin to dance and her feet to move, but O, lNIy! you should see Rudy on the basketball fioor. She can out-jump almost anyone, and when she de- cides she is going to get the ball-O, Well! You might as well hand it to her. But these pleasures are not the only things in which Ruth excels, for she is also a tennis player of no mean ability. Ruth is going to Buchtel University next year and with her go our best wishes for success. Mabel Lucille Payne Commercial Course jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, Commercial Club, '27, Commercial Vlub Play, '27. Like 41 flower tlzat cannot all unfold. ln two senses lNlabel reminds one of arbutus. To really find and become acquainted with Mabel you must peep behind her mask of self- reserve just as you would lift the leaves to find a fragrant blossom of arbutus. 'l'here is no doubt that you will find a lovely blossom of true friendship behind her concealing leaves of reserve. Then, just as the faithful arbutus comes closely behind the heels of Spring, lylabel never takes the initiative but faithfully follows the leader. Mabel will do stenographic work in some office, where, we hope, success will await her. 'l'r.v ufj'-fum' 5713 George Russell Postlewaite Scientific Course Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Debating Society, '27, Bond Issue Speech, '27. Friends, I come not here to talk. George very rarely has anything to say, but when he does, it usually has great import and is generally clear and concise. But, if he feels out of place and awkward, he somehow finds it hard to enter into the discus- sion. However, he never fails to do his best and does not beat about the bush when he is not sure of himself. He is quiet, he has his own ver- sion of things, he has personality and he possesses a high sense of humor and wit which seldom crops out in his classes but which springs forth when he is at home with his friends. George is going to College but he doesn't know when or where.
