Hun certainly helieves in this quotation for she is always ready to listen to anything you have to say, hut she is always extremely par- ticular what she says and to whom she speaks. 1.1-lia is one of the few girls of P. H. S. who did not yield to the call of the llZ1I'lJCI S scissors, and she is today envied for that reason hy many. Hun's main interest is Literature, and she can appreciate many pieces of Literature which some of us cannot comprehend. L1-lia is very kind and several times she has tutored her classmates who have missed school. Next year Lelia will study English at Temple University. Theora Bess Marie Ryder Teddy Classical Course A.

If she likes a suhject well enough she will study it ardently. But if, for any reason, she is not attracted hy a study, Theora lets it slide. Teddy has a, most remarkahle memory. In fact, her powers of recollection are so excellent that they are to he marveled at. Once she has learned or memorized anything it is retaine1l indelinitely. This memory goes even so far that Teddy does not have to he hothered with reviewing for exams. Next year Teddy is going to study Supervision of .Xrt at Iidin- boro Normal School. 1 Mildred Schwartz lNIimmie - Commercial Course Ir. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, A.

This verse truly applies to 1XIimmie for, to use a scientific term, when she steps over the threshold of T , a complete metamorphas takes place. In fact, her eyes seem to send forth a light that would hrighten the darkest of places. Mildred surely has a sweet tooth, for every day she Contributes at least one of Sher hard earned nickels to the candy box. Apparently Mildred still holds to the old worn motto, Better late than never, for almost every noon she is the last one to come over from the Commercial Building. lNIimmie is undecided as to what she will do next year.

Her emotional ahilities are so varied that she can make the stern Sphinx hold his sides with laughter, luring her merciless critics to tears, or even make a notor- ious Vhicago gun-man quiver with fear, by the mere intiection of her colorful voice. Of course she has had oddles of practice for she is always apparently chattering upon girlish nothings If Twila is not on the go , you may be sure she is reading a book in hot pursuit of the villain.

Aiuoyf dreaded grief, For I om of lighter mood. Stuart is one of our members who, because of his blushes may give one the false impression that he is bashful-but-looks will sometimes deceive. Two of Stuart's noticeable failings are playing a saxophone and driving a car. In the last three years he has taken an active part in our H. S. Qrchestra and Band. As to driving a car, one might say this trait runs in the family. One sad realization is that our handsome Sheik is more interested in books than in the feminine side of the question. you get there and like it, Stew . Charles S. Sheriff Chuck Scientific Course A. A., '26, '27, Jr. Red Cross, '26, '27, The Pot Boiler , '27, Debating Society, '27. It is goorl fo live and learn. Charles learns science and mathematics by understanding, not by memorizing. Since this is true, Charles has acquired scientific knowledge of which he has a right to be proud. Chuck seems naturally inquisi- tive, he likes to know why this or that acts as it does, sometimes a lot of explanation is necessary to clear his questionings but no words are wasted on Charles for he is always ready to absorb knowledge. Charles is going to study Electrical Engineering, and we believe that he has truly found his calling, and we cannot help but predict a shining career for him. Stuart informs us that he is heading for State College we do hope Harry Edward Sherry 'CE l C Scientific Coui se Tzucizly-ciglzt A.

Ed is our actor, candy boy and, even though he sits by her left side, he's Bliss Boles' right hand man. Indeed that it what Ed is to all of us. When we ask Ed to do something for us, we give it no more thought, because it is as well as done, when Ed has undertaken a task. Ed helps us too, by his witty stories, with these he passes many dreary noon hours for our out-of-town friends. Ed wants to go to the University of Pittsburgh to study Engi- neering next year. But we are sure if Fate sends him elsewhere, that Ed's optimism will carry him through any sort of difficulty.
