Kate circulates around a desk in Room HT . She has sharp gray eyes and like Pathe News, apparently sees all, knows all . Her chief occupation is sneezing with an art which has been envied by less efficient amateurs. She is cheerful and apparently always grinning. Kate is having a hard time deciding what to do next year but she says that, she is not working when school starts, she will return as a HP. G. to finish her commercial work. if Darhl T.

Lzffe's cz pleasant institution, Let us take it as it comes! That's Darhl's philosophy of life, for he is a born sportsman in all phases of the work. He recalls to our mind that carefree one brave knight, in armour bright as he trips into T, takes a jaunty aim at a coat hook, and gracefully casts his cap. After an airy word or two to one of the gentler sex he slips into his seat and tells his neighbor a joke and yet he is quiet about it, no loud or aggressive. Though not addicted to intensive toil, he is nevertheless sincere about his work. Sometimes we sense that his effervescence and reckless abandon are caused by some lady ly inclined. tune be with you, Darhl.

The above lines express Ad's determined nature. Wlieii she starts a thing she usually finishes it. Ad's apparent weakness is her ad- miration for males C?J. Her favorite pastime is dating . Perhaps you will hear her merry chatter about her date last night, or the anticipations of her date tonight, issue forth from the depths of a crowd of fair damsels at Feicht's corner . Ad's adding nature has won many friends. Ad intends to go to Indiana Normal next year, and later to col- lege. Much luck and best wishes for your success, Ad . in particular, but this secret never bubbles out, since Darhl is not social- After a summer at Indiana Normal he will teach next year.

Jim English Course lr. Red t'ross. '24, '25, '26, '27, A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Football, '27, High School Play, '27, Commencement Play, '27. To he a friend of ,lim's means true friendship. jim enters a project with the idea of doing both himself and the subject justice. And it is not his fault if such is not the case. 'flim is not a boisterous rollicking fellow but is almost a stoic. But, when he is truly pleased with anything a smile slowly slides up the right half of his cheek. How- ever, this one smile means nine, and cheers one more than many a per- son's hearty laugh. James will teach the Couch school next year. T11 irty james Clyde Smith He does it with cz better grace but I do it more 1zatural. T H E M I RR 0 R H-omer Smith Smitty English Course A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, Interclass B. B., '25, '26, '27, Assistant Football hfanager, '26, Football hlanager, '27, History Play, '26, French Play, '27. Let me hate audience for a word 01' two. Homer was our football manager and a very successful one. VVe concede him every right to get puffed up over his record but he seems to have no inclination towards it. As you see from his activities above, he is not unacquainted with basketball, in fact, he is interested in prac- tically everything, including a certain girl in Room S. From this last interest we gain the impression that Homer is very Crafty. Homertells us he is going to attend an electrical school in Chicago. We predict a career as successful in the business world as it has been in High School. Ruth Smith Rufus A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27. Patience is the best remedy for every trouble. It certainly is too bad that more of the fair sex do not practice law, for judging from the fine work Rufus does in Commercial Law class, she could win many cases. Ruth has become the very efficient leader of the Young People's Christian League, and she has surely done some very fine work along that line. If you see two girls standing at the head of the stairs, or in the hall, talking confidentially, you may be sure they are Ruth and Laura jane. They always give a passer-by the impression that they are trying to get as much said as possible, before the bell rings. Ruth expects to go to Normal, and then teach next fall.

Studying does not seem to worry her, for her chief aim is to have I1 good time, which in our estimation she succeeds in doing. lXIaudella and her cousin Ad are closely allied pals. Perhaps you will hear Ohl that's adorable! VVhen did you get it? It just matches your eyes. It's the swweetest thing I ever saw. Yes. I think he's CPJ darling, don't you? That is Straitiff tuning in with her girl friends on the corner, probably Feicht's CFD. llauclella tells us that next year she will enter training in the Buffalo City Hospital.

THE MIRROR Harry Theodore Straitiff Scientific Course Class President, '27, A. A..

It' hardly seems possible that one person could be so mischievous and still make such an efficient Class President, but that is where Harry is different. Harry gets enjoyment out of many things in life, but he is absolutely content when he is argu- ing with someone. Harry is not particular when it comes to picking his opponents either. For, whether he is arguing with classmate or teacher, if he forms an opinion, well-it's formed, that's all. Harry has been a very competent stage manager, and thinks nothing of working from 4:00 until the wee small hours of the morning, so that a play will be a success. Harry isn't sure what he will do next year. He might work, go to Penn State, or he might even go into the furniture business, who can tell? Ellsworth Paul Suthard Elsie Slim A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27. A llIC'ClLCllll'Cfll man, with much to do. Elsie is a tall fellow who does not say very much. But Slim is what we call a tinker. Radios, mixups of wires or even Fords hold for him nothing complicated. There are two things which he hates and the English language is both of them. He hates to write it, he hates to study it and he hates to speak it. Elsie's personal friends are as much attached to him as he to them. Slim does not know whether he is going to work or go to an electrical school.
