Allow us to present Mr, Vinopal. President. of the illustrous class ot' '24. With Ed at the helm, how could we have had other than a successful Senior year to teinnnate our stay in 'l'. H. S.? Ed and Helen are inseparable, and we shudder to think of the corridors next year without their familiar faces. 'fl PRESIDENTS ADDRESS As l'rrsid4-nt ol' tho rlass ol' '24, it is nly happy privilrgrr to wol- oonio you to our t'lass Day Ext-i'risrs. Four yrars ago wo ontrrrd Iligrh Srhool, hooking.: forward- tho day ol' our grraduation som-xnod to ln-long to a, distant and On- vliantingr futurr. Four yi-ars soonu-d a vt-ry long' tiinif- to us thou! 'I'o-day wr rralizr that thr tinio has passrd all too quivkly and wo find that thi- long'-antif-ipatrd day of gxradualiion is not a. day of unalloyod happinoss, for it nirans that wo ninst now say grood-byr to tho t'lZlSSlllillt'S with whoni wr havr so happily Worked and played during our srhool days. Many l'llilllQ't'S haw taken place during our stay in Iligfh School. At tho ond of our srvond yi-ar Mr. Koontz ranio to direct Olll' srhools, and in two short years ho has ritz-rtrcl many improvolnonts in our school systrm. XVQ- are proud of our Junior High School- onr manual training department, and our library. Thr class of '24 has hrrn 4-sprrially intrrrstvd in the school lihrary, and it is in part duo to thc-ir ro-oprratdon and assistanro that this vi-ry conimondahlo work has horn a siirrrss. Thr llihrary has boon 11il,ll10ll aftrr tlir rlass ot' '24, and wr tliori-l'orr look upon it as our nlonlorial. Another activity in which the Seniors have cngagrc-tl success- fully in thr past year, has been the Care of the Study Hall during l , t 9 In F, ,. in 3 if 8 Il two of the afternoon periods. This work was highly commended by Mr. Foberg, of Harrisburg, one of the men who surveyed our schools last year. During the past four months We have been depnived of the companionship and assistance of Miss Dubar. It was a great dis- appointment to us to hear that her illness would prevent her return- ing to us this year, but We are happy to know that she is fast regain- ing her health. During her absence We have been very fortunate in having Mrs. Lawrence as her substitute. lnthe short time she has been with us, We have found her a helpful teacher and kind friend. . We feel that We have not only completed a course of study pre- scribed for graduation, but that We have been trained in principles that will enable us to take our places in the World as good citizens. We hope that each member of the class of '24 will prove Worthy of all the advantages they have received-and that each will do his part to make the World a better place in which to live. We hope that you will enjoy our Class Day Program-We have planned it for your pleasure--as a little token of our appreciation for all that you have done for us during our school days. To you, our loving and devoted parents-to you, our faithful and unselfish teachers, and to you, our loyal friends--the class of '24 extends a thousand Welcomes. EDWARD R.

Ede is our idea of a reg'lar fellow, al- ways ready for a good time, and many are the adventures on skating and bike trips which she and her bosom friend Kelly have shared! Men don't interest Eden in the least, she claims, but never-the-less she and Clare seem to enjoy each other's society huge- ly in the Commercial classes. MARJORY ALMARETTA AM ES Margie Academic Course, Glee Club 1 yr., Dramatic Club, Dramatic Play Clarence, Seek and Find Literary Society, Science Club. Of course you are acquainted with the girl who so cleverly characterized the jealous wife in Clarence Who doesn't know and admire this stately pink-cheeked Senior? By the way, she has a very good disposition-but that may be because of Garrett's decision to give her no occasion to resume the role of Mrs, Wheeler. CLAIRE E. AXTELL Punch Commercial Course. Claire always has a smile for everybody, and if all we hear is to be believed, her fav- orite forms of recreation are motoring and having dates! It's lucky Claire was born tall, for if she were otherwise it would be rather inconvenient to carry a ladder along every time she had a date with Joe, in order to con- verse more easily. GLADYS IRENE ANTILL Commercial Course, It-Sutz-Us Literary Society. When the boys claim that an untalkative member of the weaker 175 sex has never been discovered, we point in the direction of Gladys, and behold! Their lips are sealed. She is a demure maid, our Gladys, but knowing how to keep quiet isn't her only accomplishment,-at least you wouldn't think so if you could see her dance! PAULINE MERRIAM BAKER Pauli Academic Course, Pres. Dramatic Club, Dra- matic Play Clarence, Chairman Seek and Find Literary Club, Science Club '24, Glee Club 4 years, Mgr. Glee Club '22-'23, Trotty Veck Club, Optimist Staff 2 years, Freshman President, Class Knocker, Chairman Study Hall Committee. Sparkling brown eyes-rosy cheeks and a sunny smile-that's Pauli! Everyone adores her-who, indeed, could help it? With her jolly personality and whole-hearted support she has smoothed many of the rough spots along our way. We wish her every happiness -which she's sure to have if John has any- thing to do with it! JOHN FREDERICK BECKER Jack Commercial Course, Glee Club 1 yr., Fire Team, Football Team 1 yr., Blue and Gold Literary Society. Sometimes we think Jack is shy, and again we are convinced that he is the biggest mis- chief in school. His expression, though inno- cent, is never-the-less deceiving, and when that sudden twinkle appears in his eye you can be sure mischief is brewing. Won't Miss Brunlbaugh miss him when she recalls dis- missal time? PRESTON THOMAS BISHOP upretn Academic Course, Dramatic Club '23-'24, Cap- tain Senior Basket Ball Team, Science Club, Seek and Find Literary Society, Glee Club '20-'21, Hi-Y Club, Junior Prom Committee, Fire Team. P1'et's cheerful grin is one of the best- known characteristics of '24,-and say! The experiences which he, together with his cronies, Spud and Buck have gathered from their numerous midnight rides in the latter's car, would enable him to write a thriller! He plans to teach school next fall. Can't you just imagine Pret as a country school teacher? FRANCES RUTH BOAL Franny Academic Course, English Honor, Class Poet, Class Song, Editor-in-Chief Optimist '23- '24, Assistant Editor '22-'23, Treas. Junior Class, Literary Editor '21-'22, Glee Club 3 yrs., Dramatic Club '23-'24, Sec. Wilson Literary Society, Science Club, Treas. Trotty Veck, Freshman Class Editor. This picture doesn't do Franny halt jus- tice, because our Chief is really very pleas- ing to the eye! Besides being the 'best Editor the Optimist ever had she's our Literary genius 'neverything-even walked off with the English honor! No one can help liking Franny, -she's one of the most popular girls in school and always in great demand, as you can see by the things she's been in. ARTHUR ALBERT BODAMER uArtn Commercial Course, Captain Basket Ball '24, Basket Ball Team 2 years, Manager Football '23, Football 2 years, Blue alnd Gold Literary Society, Glee Club 2 years. This is the boy who belongs exclusively to Ad, so for goodness sakes don't get 'em con- fused. Art was the hero and Captain of the Basket Ball team, and if he's even seen alone -which he soldom is-it's with a melancholy look on his usually cheerful countenance. Mer- cifully Ad returns his affection, so all is well! LLOYD FRANCIS BODAiM ER Dutch Commercial Course, Class Will, Football Team '23-'24. Basket Ball Team '23, Blue and Gold Literary Society, Fire Team. Dutch is the other of the athletic Bodamer brothers, and in the recent popularity contest was voted the best all around athlete in T. H. S. After much weighty consideration and several furloughs, Dutch decided to stick and graduate with the illustrious '24. Besides being extremely popular, Dutch also claims to be Mary's little lamb. GORDON D. BOYLE nspudn Academic Course, Dramatic Club '23-'24, Dra- matic Play Clarence, Science Club, Glee Club '23, Hi-Y Club, Fire Team, Wilson Literary Society, Senior Basketball, Bootball Letter Man '23-'24. And here is Spud, hero of Clarence, and of romances too numerous to mention. He is the second of the famous triumvirate, and something of a ladies' man! The Shefba's of '24, however, stand no chance whatever of win- ning a place in Spud's affections, as the LIGHT of his existence is a member of '26! HOWARD CLARE BROWN U Pap!! Commercial Course, Fire Team, Hi-Y Club, Blue and Gold Literary Society. This is Dutch's little pal-ever seen one without the other? We haven't. Out-side of the fact that Brownie is a reckless driver he isn't a bad sort, and the girls especially find his society rather pleasant. He is another of the habitual gum-chewers of T. H. S. and with Buck is tied for first honors. MARTHA ELIZABETH BUCHANAN nBettyu Commercial Course, Class Artist, Chairman lt-Sutz-Us Literary Society. Betty is the possessor of a pair of flirty blue eyes-not that she uses them for that bourgeois purpose, but anyway, she surely knows how to roll 'emi She is a demure maiden, and just a Wee bit shy, but tell her something funny and you'll see a jolly smile o'erspread her features! SUSAN HENRIETTA BURCH :Isuzu General Course, School Librarian, Glee Club 1 year, Trotty Veck Club. Snz is our best example of digniiied Senior maid. She is our school librarian, and is looking eagerly forward to taking a li- brarians course. The number of masculine occupants of the library often causes us to wonder if their literary tastes as as potent as their admiration for the lady behind the desk. CARL ERICK BERGSTROM Hculii Academic Course, Seek and Find Literary Society, Science Club, Fire Team. Cul is a good sport and a good student. Some folks are of the impression that he is shy and retiring, that is, all except the class of '24, for they have heard him argue! With all his outstanding good points, however, Carl has one serious failingfnamely girls! HOM ER ARGYLL COOK Cookie Academic Course, Glee Club 1 year, Wilson Literary Society, Science Club, Hi-Y Club, Fire Team. Cookie is the boy with tl1e oratorical pow- ers. When once started on a subject, it is impossible for him to stop, and many are the forty-five minute periods he has talked away- much to the delight of the rest of us. He has no use for women, nor in fact for anyone except Buck and Spud, KATHRYN ARLENE CURRY f'Kathie Commercial Course, Commercial Honor, It- Sutz-Us Literary Society. Kathryn captured the Commercial honor as we had expected all along, for anyone who has worked as hard as our Kathie during her four years with ns, certainly deserves an honor! She is another one of our teachers-to- be, and we know she'll be successful, for she surely did rule the study hall with an iron hand during her reign. VIOLA CHADWICK CUTHBERT nvir, Academic Course, Glee Club 2 years, Dra- matic Club, Pres. Seek and Find Literary Society, Science Club, Trotty Veck. Viola is the demure little Senior maid with the big black eyes. She is one of our most faithful supporters. and has been a loyal class- mate dnring her stay in T. H. S. Whatever Vi does she believes in doing right, so we predict for her a brilliant future in whatever she undertakes. ROBERT ELLIS DEY Academic Course, Hi-Y Club, Glee Club 1 year, Wilson Literary Society, Fire Team. Another one who only this year entered our ranks is Ellis. He is a quiet sort of chap, but we've found him to he extremely good- natured, and to have an unsually strong aver- sion for English Class. Ellis blnshes every time one of the girls look in his direction, and a becoming blush it is. VVe only wish he had been with us all through school. JESSIE LOUISE DUNN uounnyvv Commercial Course, V. Pres. 'fit-Sutz-Us Literary Society, Glee Club 1 year, Secretary Junior Class, Trotty Veck Club. The girls call Dnnny a good talke1 ' while the boys claim she has an awful line. What- ever the Case may be, it's very evident that she never lacks an appreciative audience. An Optimistic soul is our Jessie. and a very good student--and, by the way, she simply loves to dance! MARY AGNES EARLY Academic Course, Third Honor, Blue and Gold Literary Society. Mary reminds us of a shy wild rose wiho crept into our class and our hearts way back in Freshie days. Though she must have work- ed hard in order to capture third honor, they say this demure maiden is never without a. date. Just look at her picture and you'l1 see why the boys find it hard to resist her. EDNA JOSEPHINE ELY H Ed!! Commercial Course, Glee Club '22, Junior Prom Committee, Sec. It-Sutz-Us Literary Society, Trotty Veck Club. Ed has so many dates we're often afraid she'll turn into a calendar. She and Dunny are always together-in fact they ever have double dates! Edna has red cheeks and dimples, and her cheery nature is well ad- vertised by her smile. That her system pays is shown by the number of her swains. HOWARD FOGGAN ROBERT DALRYMPLE FRAWLEY Bob Academic Course, Science Club Hi-Y Club, Fire Team. Bob knows more about automobiles and electricity and-Franklin, than a bird does about worms! He's at home in any kind of car, and has an enviable record as an auto salesman. Bob just hates the idea of leaving T. H. S., and we wouldn't be surprised to see him return next year for a P. G, course. L,-,,,-,h Y, , l mul ills. ...il OLIVE KATHLEEN FORD '-Mike'- Academic Course, Sclence Club, Trotty Veck, Wilson Literary Society. Mike is our giggling girl. Besides finding a humorous side to absolutely every matter, Mike is a loyal classmate, and thinks every- thing that the class of '24 does is just right. Some tour years ago Olive started chumming with 'fBillie and the two have been insepara- ble ever since. Keep on smiling, Mike, -it pays. DOROTHY HABICH Dot Academic Course, French Honor, Pres: Seek and Find Literary Society. A splendid student is our Dorothy, and she certainly deserved to walk away with French honor-as it was, no one else stood the slight- est chance! She is a stately little maid who has lost none ot her dignity since bobbing her hair. Everyone admires her, and we are proud to have had Dot graduate with the class of '24. ETHEL MAE HABICH M Ethn Academic Course, Class Song, Seek and Find Literary Society, Trotty Veck Club, Op- timist Staff Typist. Ethel's favorite topics of conversation are poetry and a certain Senior boy. Not that boys particularly interest her-but then, this one is the exception. Ethel is fond of ad- dressing English Class, and usually prepares a lengthy speech for debating society. Besides, she was the 0ptimist's typist, and a good one, too. MARY AGNES HANKS Murray Academic Course, Mathematics Honor, Dra- matic Club '23-'24, Dramatic Play Clarence, Sec. and Treas. Science Club, Blue and Gold Literary Society, Secretary '21-'22, Trotty Veck Club. Our class simply' couldn't have existed with out Mary. She is a perfect oracle, and when anyone desires information they beat a path to her desk. Mary copped Mathematics honor, just as her sister did two years ago, and we're mighty glad she did. Seems as though it runs in the family, doesn't it? l W 11 ALICE ELIZABETH HASLET Betz Academic Course, Sec. Dramatic Club Science Club, ' 'Wilson Literary Society Trotty Veck. Though Bets is another one who just joined us this year, we have found her to be a true friend, and we only wish she had come four years ago. Betz is a born actress, and we're confident that her future lies in the field of elocution. Good luck, Alice! WILLIAM ARTHUR HELFRICH HBH!!! General Course, Pres. Hi-Y Club '23-'24, Chief Fire Dep't. '23-24, Fire Team 4 years, Captain Football '23, Football 5 years, V. Pres. Science Club, V. Pres. Seek and Find Literary So- ciety, Basket Ball 3 years, Baseball Team '22, Junior Prom Committee. Bill, our Football captain, is one of the finest athletes T. H. S. ever produced. We admit he has never been excited out of his customary drawl nor has ever shown much of an interest in the camouflaged sex-but when he's on the fleld or Basket Ball tloor you should hear 'em cheer! HELEN IONE HOLDER uBobbyn Academic Cource, V. Pres. Wilson Literary Society, Science Club, Trotty Veck Club. Bobbie just joined us this year, but, for proof of her instant popularity, cast your eyes in the above list. Doesn't look as though she'd been loating, does it? Bobbie is one of our laughing girls-fin fact we never have seen her when she wa.sn't just bubbling over with the joy of living. GARRETT CATLIN HUMMER Hummer General Course, Football Team, '23-'24, Pres. Blue and Gold Literary Society, Dramatic Club, Junior Orchestra, Fire Team, Science Club. Garrett is one of our most dependable mem- bers. He is studious and industrious, and in fact, has so many good qualities that it seems a shame he should have succumbed to the fa- tal passion-love! Howwever, we're glad it's Marjory who's entranced him, and not one of those bobbed-hair vamps. fi- l, 1 I H51---Y . JAMES STANLEY HUMMER Stan Academic Course, Football '22, V. Pres. Seek and Flnd Literary Society, Hl-Y Club, Science Club. Yes, Stanley is the rosy-cheeked Hummer boy who drives in from the country every morning. Though his complexion is the envy of all the girls, unlike his brother, Garrett, Stanley has not as yet been smitten by the charms of these admirers. His one vice is his uncanny habit of falling asleep in classes, but then, all great men have their weak points. THEODORE WALLEN JACOBSON 441-eddyn Academic Course, Class Soloist, Sec. Seek and Find Llterary Soclety, Mgr. Basket Ball '23-'24, President Sophomore Class, Glee Club 2 yrs., Hl-Y Club, Sclenlce Club, Fire Team, Optimist Staff 1 yr. Wlho could help liking Teddy? Everyone knows and admires him, and he's one of the most popular fellows. Somehow we're of the opinion that the knights of old must have been built on the same order as Teddy. The girls just won't leave him alone and sometimes we're not so sure that he minds a great deal. MARION K. KEHR llKldYl Academic Course, Glee Club '22-'23, Seek and Find Literary Society, Science Club, Trotty Veek Club. My dear! How perfectly horrible! '1'hat's only one of the favorite expressions of Marion's forceful vocabulary. It doesn't mat- ter if the topic of discussion is a murder case or a difficult French lesson, she always finds some equally exaggerated sentiment to express her feelings! She has a keen sense of humor, and is seldom seen without Carolyn. ALICE A. KELLY llKelIyIl Commercial Course, Glee Club 2 yrs., Basket Ball Team 2 yrs., Senior Class Cheer-leader, Blue and Gold Literary Society, Trotty Veck. There's always lots of fun when Kelly is on hand. She is the mad-cap, happy-go-lucky of '24, and everyone likes her. Imagine a party complete -without Kelly! Impossible! She is one of the main reasons why our girls' team was a success, and many are the tales they tell of Kel1y's antics on Basket Ball trips. HELEN RUTH KENDALL Snook Academic Course, Latin Honor, Class Donor, Sec. and Treas. '23-'24, Dramatic Club, Dra- matic Play Clarence, Optimist Staff 1 yr., V. Pres. '21-'22, Student Council '20-'21, Blue and Gold Literary Society, Trotty Veck Club. Snook is one of our most popular mem- bers, and studious? Well, it must have taken a little effort to walk off with that Latin honor. We'd like to describe in detail a certain famous trip which Helen engineered to French- town-and the results, but that was a long time ago, and really Ed is all that counts now any- way. - CHRISTINE B. KERR Chrissie Academic Course, Optimist Staff '23-'24, -'ek and Find Literary Society, Science Club, Trotty Veck Club. Chrissie is the maid who is allways carry- ing a pile of exchanges under her arm. She is a True Blue pal, and has a wit equal to that of Mark Twain. Chris is never seen alone, for she draws friends as a magnet at- tracts nails! Then too, Chr'issie's giggle is one of the things that made T. H. S. famous, and her weakness for chocolate milk-shakes- and a certain Sheik, is far-famed. EDNA OLIVIA KERR Chuck Academic Course, Glee Club 1 yr., Blue and Gold Literary Society, Trotty Veck Club. Olivia is a jolly little maid who is always in exuberant spirits. She's studious, too, and never came to a class without having her lesson well-prepared. Chuck, too, decided to take the fatal plunge, and as a result, appeared one morning in the Senior roll-call room shorn of her locks. And it looks too cute for any- thing as the girls exclaimed. ANNA MARIE LINDEEN uAnne1v Academic Course, Science Club, Seek and Find Literary Society, Trotty Veck Club. Anne isn't shy-just sort of quiet-that is, in a crowd- But when you get her alone, you'd be surprised! Those who have the privilege of knowing her well say there's no limit to her conversational powers, and her retiring manner is only a deceiving mask as- sumed during school hours. PRESTON CLYDE MCCUTCHEON -feud Academic Course, Pres. Athletic Association, Seek and Find Literary Society, Science Club, Glee Club 1 yr., Hl-Y Club, Orchestra 1 yr., Optimist Staff 1 yr., Treasurer '20-'21, Senior Basket Ball, Fire Team. This is Bud -musician, professional dancer, ande one of the most popular fellows in T. H. S.-in fact, there's no end to Bud's accomplishments. Though the members of the fair sex are frankly enamoured of his charms, Bud doesn't mind in the least-sad to admit, he rather enjoys their hero-worship! ADELAIDE L. MacMlLLAN llAdU Commercial Course, Glee Club 2 yrs., Basket Ball Team 2 yrs., Captain Basket Ball '23-'24, Sec. Athletic Association, Junior Prom Com- mittee, Athletic Play, Trotty Veck. This is Ad, Captain of the girls' Basket Ball team, and one of the best sports we've ever known. Where's Art, do you ask? We exerted every effort, but to no avail-it wasn't possible to have 'em photographed together! However, wherever you see Ad you may be sure Art isn't far off! LINDELL LEONIDAS MONTGOMERY -'Lim' Science Course, Science Honor, President Science Club, Fire Team, Seek and Flnd Literary Society. Everyone likes Lin, and he's a perfect wizard in Science, or in fact anything he un- dertakes. Proof? He captured Science honor though only having been with us two years. So modest and retiring is Lin that he refused to assume the weighty responsibilities of Senior President, and only agreed, after much urging, to accept the office of Chief Executive of the Science Club. Some of the girls think Lin a woman-hater-but then, you never can tell! MILDRED LEE MYERS Billie Commercial Course, Class Prophet, Glee Club '22-'23, Blue and Gold Literary' Society, Trotty Veck Club, Optimist Staff Typist. Billie is our tall, stately senior, but some- how everyone seems to get her confused with the P. G. of the same name. She is our class prophet, and say! Wouldnft it be nice if some of her prophesies came true? Not all of 'em of course, for that would be a calamity! Everyone likes Billie ! GERTRUDE LUCILLE NELSON ul-ou!! Commercial Course, It-Sutz-Us Literary So- ciety, Trotty Veck. Lucil1e's the sort of classmate of whom we expect someday to say proudly, She gradu- ated with '24. Why? Well, she's just that kind of worth-While girl, She's a friend to everyone, and happens to be endowed with a large quantity of good humor which she uses to good advantage. DOROTHY OLIVE PASHNICK unotls General Course, Wilson Literary Society. The little borough on the hill surrendered Dot to us for our last year, and we are tremend- ously grateful. She is a petite maiden, un- deniably attractive, and the possessor of a pair of very snappy black eyes. Dot has made many friends since joining our incomparable class, and we all like her-especially the male faction! MARY EVELYN PA-RKER Hpollyll Academic Course, Salutatorian, V. Pres- Blue and Gold Literary Society, Glee Club '23-'24, Dramatic Club, Trotty Veck Club. Mary, or Polly as she is affectionately called by her host of friends, is one of the sweetest lassies of T. H. S. She chums around with Wilkie, Chuck, and the other Mary -and to prove that she's as industrious as her chums, most all of whom received honors- please note that she is our Salutatorian. Short and sweet is our Mary-but most especially sweet! IDA DENA PHILLIPS Commercial Course, Glee Club 2 yrs., lt- Sutz-Us Literary Society. If you hear someone exclaim, Oh give me some -candy! you may be sure Ida is around. She is never seen without a 'bag of chocolate drops bulging from her coat pocket, and she's generous with 'em too! Ida has a great big smile, and she's just as generous with that as with her candy. -.. RUSSELL HARRY PLATT usuckn Academic Course, Class Artist, Vice Presi- dent Senior Class, Football '22, Hi-Y Club, Science Club, Chairman Wilson Literary So- ciety, Junior Prom Committee. Meet Buck -or Harry as he is affec- tionately called by his many satellites. The Senior class without Buck would be like the movies without Charlie Chaplin. He is our comedian, and the one honest-to-goodness Sheik of '24, Sad to say, the camera couldn't catch Buck's jaw in motion. That's his be- setting weakness-chewing gum! JOSEPH HAZEN RADACK HJoelY Commercial Course, Class Donor, President Junior Class, Junior Prom Committee, Senlor Basket Ball Team, Dramatic Club, Hi-Y Club. Joe, besides being our Apollo, is the glass of fashion and the mold of form. They say his pictures were so much in demand that Mr. Kendall received an order for an extra three dozen. Joe was our Junior President and ha been in everything since his Freshman days. More power to you, Joe! IRENE REVITZKY uRenev1 Commercial Course, Blue and Gold Liter- ary Society, Glee Club 'Z-'23. Rene has the cheeriest of smiles and the whitest of teeth. She steadfastly refuses to join the bobbed-hair bunch and we don't blame her. If all the girls had hair like Rene's there'd be fewer short-tressed dam- sels. She just adores dancing, and we notice she never lacks a companion either. EVA MARGARET ROOF llSneaYY Academic Course, Glee Club 2 yrs., Orchestra 3 yrs., Junion Prom Committee, Sec. Seed and Find Literary Society, Science Club, Sec- retary '20-'21, Trotty Veck. Our li'l Eva is almost as famous as her namesake-the heroine of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Lnea is one of the live wires of '24, and she has been in everything and on every- thing since her Freshie days. Popular? For proof, note the list of achievements above. Somehow Eva doesn't look natural in this pic- tureWperhaps it's because she isn't laughing! -his F. VERNA SHEPARD Vern Commercial Course, Glee Club 1 yr., lt-Sutz- Us Literary Society, Trotty Veck Club, Junior Orchestra. I-Iere's the wee bonny lassie with the titian tresses. However, not appreciating the curls bestowed upon 'her by nature, she, too, joined the 'bobbed hair ranks shortly after the senior pictures were taken. We wonder what Dale will do next year, when '24 has joined the alumni? RUTH M. SHIELDS Ruthie Commercial Course, Trotty Veck, It-Sutz- Us Literary Society. The girls call Ruthie a peach and the boys all agree she's a jolly good fellow! She has dates four nights a week, and engagements the other three, but not with any of the H. S. boys-oh dear no! 'Ihe chief object of her affections having graduated rway back in '20. CATHERINE V. SJODEN Swede Commercial Course, Basketball Ball Mgr. '23- 'Q4-, Assistant Mgr. '24-24, Basket Ball Team 2 yrs., Junior Prom Committee, Trotty Veck C uh, 'fit-Sutz-Us Literary Society. Kate or Swede as she is known, was one of our star basket shooters on the floor. How the score would roll up for T. H. S. when she got the ball! Nor is Basket Ball the only thing she can do well-her dancing would cause Irene Castle to sit up and take notice, and her swimming would make a fish blush at its own awkardness! CAROLYN A. STEINBUHLER Chercher Academic Course, Seek and Find Literary Society, Treasurer '21-'22, Glee Club 1 yr., Junior Prom Committee, Science Club, Trotty Veck Club. Carolyn's a peach, and everyone that knows her -will agree. She is seldom seen without Marion-except of course, when she has a. date with Evan. She is the possessor of an ex- tremely becoming Hshingle-bob -the first in the senior class-and a keen sense of humor. We always did insist that S'wanee was born lucky! in f -,g I 4 EVAN G. SWANSON Swanee Commercial Course, History Honor, Class Historian, Business Mgr. Optimist '23-'24, As- sistant Mgr. '22-'23, V. Pres. Junior Class, V. Pres. Freshman Class, Glee Club 4 yrs., Ath- letic Play Ruth in a Rush, Fire Team, Junior Prom Committee, Hi-Y Club, Blue and Gold Literary Society, Chairman, Sixth Period Study Hall. Here's Swanee, -the most popular fellow in T. H. S: He is '24's one big ray of sun- shine, and the liveliest Business Manager the Optimist has ever had. A glance at the above list of achievements will assure you of his popularity, hut, to really appreciate him, you must receive one of 'his famous smiles! WILLIAM MARSHALL TINSLEY --aiu Academic Course, Wilson Literary Society, Orchestra 2 yrs., Science Club. If t,here's anything Bill loves to do, it's ai-guiief' It doesn't matter whether the sub- ject under discussion happens to be Socialism, or the momentous question of depositing his chewing gum in the waste basket, Bill will not cease to argue until overcome by exhaustion. Besides possessing these unusual oratorial abilities, Bill is a splendid violinist. G. KENNETH TU LLOCH 5lKennyY! General Course, Science Club, Fire Team, Wilson Literary Society. Ken has never been known to keep quiet for five successive minutes-they say he even wakes his family at unearthly hours by hold- ing lengthy conversations with himself in his sleep. Ken is famous for his brilliant recitations in Problems of Democracy, and- sh! They say he is even occasionally seen es- corting the ladies homeward. HERBERT WHITING General Course, It Sutz-Us Literary So- ciety, Fire Team. Herbert hails from Cherrytree! He's the champion boy typist of the Senior class, and a regular ladies' man. Truly, Herb's great weakness is his fondness for the weaker sex, and we shudder to think of his future away from T. H. S. If he ever does enter the busi- ness world, we expect it will be as a sales- man for Davis Baking Powder. MARGARET IRENE WILKINSON A1 Peg!! General Course, President Trotty Veck Club, Basket Ball Team '23-'24, Glee Club 3 yrs., H Science Club, Wilson Literary Society, Trotty Veck Optimist reporter. Peg likes and is liked by everyone. She-'s one of our jolliest classmates, and possesses an admirable disposition-also a decided en- thusiasm for Problems of Democracy. As Trotty Veck President she's a wonder, and we learn that her ambition is to become a physical director-though she ha.sn't yet confided whether she will locate in Frenchtown or Avalon! RUTH LUCILLE WILKINSON Wilkie Academic Course, Valedictorian, Glee Club '23-'24, Trotty Veck Club, Blue and Gold Lit- erary Society, Basket Ball Team '23-'24. Wilkie received the honor of Valedictorian of the Senior class, just as we hoped she would, and who can say that her perseverance and ability did not deserve such a reward? Besides being our shining intellectual light, Ruth is a good fellow and another of our Basket Ball stars. Ever hear her chuckle? It's contagious. MARY WILLIAMS Academic Course, Wilson's Literary So- ciety. Mary is a shy little maid with big blue eyes and a smile for everyone. She, too, has be- come shorn of her locks since this picture was taken. Seems as if most of our class- mates were planning to become teachers. Mary will attend Normal this summer, and take a school in the fall. RUSSELL IRWIN WILSON HBUSH Commercial Course, Senior Basket Ball Team, Optimist Staff 1 yr., Blue and Gold Literary Society, Fire Team. Bus was the stock market wizard of the little city organized by the Commercial stu- dents. His success in Riverside points to a brilliant future in the land of business. He is another of our dark-eyed Sheiks, and is very much interested in a Junior maid who drives a Chevrolet coupe. w 1 4 I 'X L Y - I .1 VALEDICTQRY To-night is the culmination of four years of work and study. Though it is with sad hearts that we leave our Alma Mater, we are looking out into the future-the future with its many opportunities and advances. ' p As we have succeeded in our High School career, we hope to succeed in this new field of service of which we are now a part, But it is to the faculty, to Mr. Stetson, to our Superintendent Mr. Koontz, and to the people of Titusville that we owe this success, and in behalf of the class of '24 I wish to thank you allf XVe bid farewell to dear T. H. S. with its many fond memories. No matter how many and varied are the paths which we shall soon follow, al- ways in our hea1'ts, there shall be woven about our Alma Mater, a golden thread of reminiscence. RUTH L. VVILKINSON. SALUTATORY Another year has rolled around in its course. Another Com- mencement has arrived. Once more parents and friends have -gathered together to witness the triumphal completion of our High School course. This great event does not lose its interest .in our lives as each year brings it once more to our view. It is an epoch maklng event in the lives of rislng' citizens. lt is because of the .interest and effort of our parents and teach- ers that we have reached this ,qreat pinnacle in our lives and we are truly grateful for this fact. Our parents have realized the import- ance of education and have brought it within our reach, in many cases by great sacrifice to themselves and of their own personal de- sires. We certainly hope that we may be Worthy of this sacrifice and are truly pleased to share with you the culmination of our ef- forts on this, our graduation night. So, in hearty corroboration of the sentiment of the graduates of the past and of all those who are to come, and especially in be- half of the class of '24, I extend to you the sincerest of welcomes. we ' i MARY E. PARKER. A Y --, .. -L, 4. .... 1 l CLASS HISTORY You are about to hear the h.istory of a famous class! We en- tered T. H. S. as Freshmen September 7, 1920, but unlike other Freshmen we were not at all green and on all sides one could hear the teachers and even the upper classmen exclaim, My, what in- telligent looking boys and girls ! During our first year Pauline Baker guided our many footsteps through devious paths. At our first meeting we choose lue and Gold as our class colors. Besides maintaining excellent s holarship records, we held three successful parties during the year, ssisted in Red Cross Work and helped make the'Armistice Day arade a great success. - Though only two parties were held they were considered uge suc cesses. It was during our Sophomore year that other claises began to take notice of our athletes, both boys and gtirls, o were win- Theodore Jacobson was elected president the next U year. h - Wh ning places on the regular football and basketball teams. Somehow we all managed to squeeze through the final exams and we mounted the third rung of the ladder. Our president dur- ing our Junior year was Joseph Radack. This was a busy year and though we spent a great deal of time selling candy, we had time for a few social affairs. We decided to give the Seniors a glontous party and after raising money by various means, arranged for one of the best proms ever given by any class of T. H. S. Time flew quickly and we soon found ourselves sop' isticated Seniors. We elected Lindell Montgomery president, but a Linn did not wish to assume the responsibility, we elected in his stead Ed- ward Vinopal whose excellent leadership has proved that we made a very wise choice. i As Seniors we have held only a few parties. The last one was held April 11, .in Knights of Columbus Hall. The year hits passed all too quickly. lt has been a year of hard work, but we have also enjoyed social activities, athletic events and wholesome friendships. We shall never forget the four years of happy school life spent in T. H. S. Our history as a class comes to a close but o'r history as individuals .is just beginning. We are sure the futur accomp- lishments of every member of the class of 1924 will brin glory to our Alma Mater. It is with real regret that we terminate our stay in dear old T. H. S. V EVAN G. SWANSON. I Hmmm rants I 1 :Mahmud .t CLASS PROPI-l ECY As I gaze upon the picture before me tonight, the graduation class of 1924, ,it seems hard to realize that in that organized, elosely allied group, there will be 65 different courses of life to pursue on into the future. Eaeh will go a different road and soon only happy memories will remain of the dear old days of T. H. S. The curtain on school days is drawing elosely down in the old home town, and 1l0NV using the peculiar power of prophet-y and second sight, which my classmates have recognized in me, I shut out the present a11d past, and look deeply into the mysteries of the future. Ah! Could you but come with mel! What a pleasant seenel the interior of a beautiful ehureh. Evidently a wedding ,is in pro- gress, for two couples are marching down the aisle to the soft strains of a wedding mareh. The bride, so sweet and happy, is none other than my old friend, Adelaide MacMillan, and by her side is Art Bodamer. Those faees eaused me to serutinize those of the other two, and seeing Helen Kendall and Ed. Vinopal, I was not greatly surprised. The musie grew indistinet as the quartet paused before the minister, who bore a very remarkable resemblanee to Stanley Hummer. As I leave them, I see Edith Amboyer walking up the middle of a large and beautifully furnished room. A 1nan enters into the pie- ture now, and I recognize the faee and figure of-Jack Beeker. He eorreets the pose Edith has taken to show the eharm of the gown she is wearing. Edith ! A model for the Beeker Fashions. A bill-board eomes before me with a representation of a huge package of gum. Underneath are the words. The Best On The Market. Aids Digestion. C. Brown, Gum Manufacturer. At last! Clare has come into his own. Then I see a broad expanse of well-tilled farm land. A man is guiding a tractor aeross a field and as he draws nearer I saw that it was my old elassmate, Garrett. Ilummer. Ilnder a large tree, stands his wife, formerly Miss Marjorie Ames, keeping the ehildren from harm. I stop before a large sign swinging from a briek fronted build- ing.

The interior of a beautifully furnished home on Beaeon Street, Boston. Pauline Baker is trying to master a partieularly difficult aeeomplishment to assist her husband .in his voeal lesson. She is smiling, and by her smile I recognize her, for Polly was famous for the sunshine of her smile in old T. H. S. Preston Bishop has become sole owner and manager of an ex- tensive green groeer's establishment. Ile is eondueting business on a plan of his ow11 and .is making fabulous profits. Theodore Jaeobson has outrivalled the great Paderewski. I see him holding a large audienee enthralled, while he played-ehop- sticks! He has another very important engagement and eannot 1'e- spond to the eurtain call. Bill Ilelfrich is thc highly paid coach of the Harvard football team. He is standing at one side of the field, and is remarking to his companion that he does wish that they could play one game, at least, where some opposition was displayed. The Harvard team has not lost a game since Bill has condescended to act in the capacity of coach. Elizabeth Buchanan is the writer of popular songs and has made her fortune at it. Sl1e is assisted by Lucille Nelson, and their picture on a sheet of music is positive proof of its popularity. Argyle Cook is a railroad magnate and travels around in his private car. Argyle is also a great philanthropist, helping the poor in New York City and in Titusville. Claire Axtell is a ministering angel to the inmates of a large hospital in t'h.icago. Claire is a nurse, and everyone looks forward to the tnne that she comes on duty. Susan Burch has become an authority 011 the subject: How a liihrary Should Be Conducted. She is granting an interview to a famous reporter, who won his fame by securing an interview with Miss Burch. Said reporter .is none other than Ellis Dey. Verna Shepard makes a charming picture as she waits in her rose-garden for her husband. She has not changed much. Her famous auburn hair is still bobbed. Wlio is her husband? I think I have seen him before, when we all went to High School together. Bus Wilson I see standing on the deck of a large trans-At- lantic steamer. He is issuing orders, which he has a perfect right to do, as he is captain. Ile looks very superior, hut is nolt entirely immune t'rom the admiring glances of several of the ladies promen- ading on deck. I heard one of the ladies remark that the captain looked like a man with a pastfl Buck Platt is a prominent figure in politics. I11 other words, another Bryan. He is making his maiden speech for governor, in Titusville, feeling that he will have the instant support of his old friends. Then l see a great crowd. Everybody is gazing upward. In thc far, hlue reaches of the sky is an airplane. The pilot is doing such hreath-taking stunts, that I feared for his life. He descended in a Few minutes, and as he clambered out of the cock-pit I recog- nized+Joe Radack! He has changed slightly, the hair on his temples is white. This was caused, no doubt, by the way in which he created a few exciting moments for spectators. l next. see a theater, the feature attraction seemed to be: Mlle. ltoof, World's Most Famous Classic Dancer. It was Eva, for I saw her picture. The crowd was dense, waiting for admittance. As l watched. a handsome limousine drew up and from it descended our old class comedian, Evan Swanson. He turned to assist a lady to alight and I recognized Carolyn Stienbuhler. As they turned to enter, a man addressed them. Good evening, Governor, and tip- ped his hat to Carolyn. Governor Swanson turned. Why,i good eve- ning, Mayor, l thought you were out of the city. Bud Mc1Cut- cheonl Mayor of Chicago! I was certainly proud of my class- mates. . ?- .. . .g B :PTI- Irene Revitsky is making her living, and more, acting as pri- vate secretary to the President of the United States. The president has often remarked' that she was invaluable to him, .in keeping un- necessary callers from seeing him, especially when he is busy. I really think that Irene received her training for this work in our Office Practice class. Next a large, bare room. I thought, perhaps, that I had been transported on a magic rug to India. for the figures on the Hoor were salaaming and bow.ing i11 the old world fashion. On a raised dais was the small figure of a woman. She was speaking. t'Hands on hips, bend from hips- Alice Kelly! She had realized her ambi- tion and was a physical training teacher. Then I saw the interior of an old-fashioned country school house. The teacher sat at her desk, grading cxamlination papers. She looked up to quiet an especially unruly boy, 211161 I recognized -Edna Ely! l wondered how Edna could stand it. Then il' saw that Mary Parker, Olivia Kerr and Ruth Milkin- son were still flirting' with those favorite gentlemen friends of theirs, Cicero and V.irgil. They have all become teachers at a Well- known college. Margaret NVilkinson is the popular screen idol of America. She is far better than Gloria Swanson ever was. Margaret says that she is going to come back to Titusville and astound her old friends with her Paris clothes. Her distracted manager is Iiin Montgomery. He has entirely recovered f1'om the bashfulness for which he was noted while in High School, but Margaret's actions nearly drive him wild. Temperament, says Margaret. Temper, contradicts Lin. Ida Phillips has acquired fame and fortune through her famous paintings. The 0110 that decided her right to the title of the best painter on the continent is A Perfect Venus. I was in a radio laboratory. Someone was broadcastling bed- time stories, for I heard-Uthen Goldilocks, carefully opened the door, and she- My Goodness! It was Jessie Dunn! Jessie has become very popular with the little folks. Viola Cuthbert is completing her education by touring and try- ing to tame the wild and Wooly IVest. She has always sa.id that she wished she could produce a, real thrill, so she has chosen the XVest as her hunting ground. MODERN SHAKESPEARE TO' PRODUCE NEXV PLAY IN NEAR FUTURE. Miss Frances Beal to Comment on 'The Three Thugs ', Her New Play. So Fran had followed her natural bent, and had become a famous writer. Alice Haslet has also entered the literary world, as she has written a. book, How To Be Happy, Though Married, Alice goes on to say that one of her main roads to happiness is through her delicious pastry. NVilliam Tinsley has become famous as a big game hunter in Iceland. He has just returned from an extended trip, and IS being entertained by a prominent college professor, Kenneth Tulloch. ,-,L gg-44,7 Y 5 ,, ,.,,., Y To look at him back in High School days, who would have thought that Gordon Boyle would delight in wrecking iomes, and breaking hearts in such a ruthless way! But that is wh t he is do- ing, and is famous for it. He is a tragedy and character actor, and far excells John Barrymore. Catherine Sjoden plays the opposite lead, and seems to enjoy having her heart broken, after he drop of the curtain. She has darkened her hair, to give the ti ression, I suppose, of sophistication. I saw Mary Hanks' sweet face among those of a group of Afri- cans. Had Mary joined the minstrels? But, no, she had been sent as a missionary into the wilds of Africa, and has become the idol of the savages. Lloyd Bodamer has invented a peculiar device. Time and space will not permit me to go into detail about this wonderfug machine, and besides, it would be unfair to Lloyd. Edison want Lloyd to go into partnership with him but Lloyd says that he can accomplish more alone. I find that o11ly two of our number have remained in dear old Titusville. Kathryn Curry, who has become head of t e commer- cial department, and Mary Williams, who is the successo of one of our former flourishing department stores. Gladys Antill is the ideal and happy wife of a wealthy ranch- man. She stands in the doorway of her home, looking into the dis- tance at the beautiful white-capped mountain peaks. - Then I found myself'in Paris. Dorothy Habich is stounding the French with her wonderful command of their langua e. In fact, she is teaching French in one of Paris' famous univer ities. The French shake their heads and ponder over this remarkable phenom- enon. 'An American who can speak their language better than they! Dorothy is accompanied by her sister, Ethel, who is beiing courted by a French count. The next thing that seemed to have a bearing on my lclass-mates was a circus parade. On every conveyance in the parade were the words. Whiting and Foggan, Mammoth Circus. Greatest Show on Earth. So Herbert Whiting and Howard Foggan had taken up the useful occupation of amusing the public, and as an incidental matter, making their fortunes. Only incidental, of course. Dorothy Pashnick is a beauty specialist in New York. She has a special method of arranging the tresses of society's 4l00. It is called the Pashnick Coiffure. Just now she is doing ythe hair of --why, of course, it is Marian Kehr. Dorothy calls her Madame, so I suppose she is married. i Helen Holder is the editor of a magazine called, , Women's Rights , and is very successful at her chosen profession. She is preparing for a trip to London, in order to secure the viewpoint of English Women, and incorporate them in an article which she in- tends to publish soon. Bob Frawley had discovered a sure method to exterminate that pestiferous pest, the boll-weevil. This method is very expensive, but its a sure cure, and Bob nearly went bankrupt trying to perfect it Olive Ford has started a day nursery for the benefit of the business women who have small children. The nursery is very ex- tensive and Olive has several helpers. She is very fond of her work, for she always did have a weakness for babies. Christine Kerr is a modern woman. She brings the children up scientifically, drives her own carg belongs to several clubs, dabbles in politicsg and still has time for her husband. I thought that Chrissie has not changed much, as she always was something of a modern maid. Anna Linden has started a pawn-shop in New York City, and is a dangerous competitor to any others engaged in that business. She does not exact an exorbitant rate of interest, and is much loved among those who have to pawn their possessions, for that reason. Carl Bergstrom is the proud possessor of the fastest race-horse known in history. He calls him T. N. T. immortalizing that touchy explosive. Carl has refused an oEer of S200,000 for his horse. And now, my dear class-mates, this .is not all that I see in the future for this most wonderful of classes, but I do not wish to dis- close the great future in store for you, lest you forget the steps which it willrequire in reaching the goal, and expect the greatness to come without effort. I will leave you with this new life before you, knowing full well that each one is capable of meeting Suc- cess along life 's pathway. ' y MILDRED LEE MYERS. .X ' L, x :IWW an hm 1 0 Q GLASS POEM.

'f ', 'N I N '1'!T 'l ' '1 X W1 ' GLASS KNOCKS Parents, friends, and members of the faculty, I have been given the priwilege of slamming my dignified CN classmates as a body for the last time. As the saying goes, 'age before beauty', so I'll mention our President first. Ed has made a mess of most everything. As a business man, he certainly is doomed, but as a lover, he must be a wonder. What will T. H. S. be next year without Ed and Helen strolling around the Halls? Franny walked 0E with the English honor, but I t ink y0u'll agree that there were others far more deserving of it, onsidering that the subject is composed of argumentation, description and nar- ration. Either Pret or Bill Tinsley far excell her in the rst, and as for description, Betty Buchanan's powers in that line re beyond comparison, as you would agree if you read her startlf g account of one man holding up an entire train! As for narratio , Bud has them all beaten. He can picture every character as re l as life- that is, if he has been to a good. movie the night before. They call Alice and Susan our dignified models, ut you'd change your mind .if you knew of some of the April ool tricks Alice played, and the strange manner in which Susan was affected. We 're not very sure what profession Evan will follow, but we're confident that he won't be a physician, because he never fails to bring Carolyn an apple every day, and of course, you've heard that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Marion Kehr and Dot Pashnick were among the first to try the new bob-they looked bad enough, but it was perfectly horrible when Eva got her Roof shingled. It is rumored that Buck Platt will become a chiropractor, at least, he has a wonderful remedy for anyone liable to be afflicted with lockjaw. For further information, ask Mr. Rathrnan why he always said, Buck, you need the waste basket ! tution. One would think there were a lot of tubercul rs in our class, from the number of friends Ida acquires when sh has a sack of chocolates. Ida is so sickly and slender that she eats candy for? her consti- 3 Dorothy is supposed to know everything about Flrench-you notice I say Supposed --for during a test the othe day Olive asked what 'Je ne sais pais' meant, and she boldly a swered, I don't know. Imagine! And she got the French honor, too. W Ad and Art are terribly quarrelsome-in fact they never do agree. They say Art usually goes up to MacMillan 's wigh his mind made up to spend a quiet evening before the fire-place, ut finds to his dismay, that Ad has made up her face to go out. Ruth certainly is clever to be Valedictonian. Her sister, Peg, is even more clemure than she and it is a good thing he doesn't have to make the speech. Isn't it queer we have f0l13 pairs of brothers and sisters in our class, but none are so nearly alike as the Wilkinsons. H -nd It seems a shame the way they kid Jessie about talking so much. I really don it think she means to, but just starts her mouth going, and forgets to stop it. Yes, Joe was voted the best-looking fellow in school, but .if that is true, we are terribly sorry for the rest of tl1em. The Marys-Hanks and Parker-are really hopeless. They are certainly the most boy-crazy girls weive ever seen, and never happy unless there one of the masculine gender in their midst. They say Ede acquired her mirth from her pal, Kelly , but if that is true, we'd say that she had long since surpassed her in- structress .in cleverness. Be generous with their faults, Oh! Qitizens of Titusville. As a class, we eouldn't be much worse, but you know the old saying, Nothing is so black as it is paintedn, and I have told you only the bad points of '24, Again, be lenient with them, and as for me, the Knocker, let every knock he a boost! PAULINE M. BAKER. SENIORS' LAST DAY OF SCHOOL Already everyone knows that the class of '24 is a very unusual group of Seniors. And it is to this fact, that they so well carried out the impersonation of the faculty, the last day of school. The usual amount of noise and commotion preceded the pre- se11tatio11, during which the class marched in and took their places on the platform. Miss Eva Roof announced the program, which immediately fol- lowedi Chapel, conducted by Miss Britton, was first. Frances Boal impersonated her very well, not even forgetting that, due to the great amount of talking and absence of courtesy, singing would be discontinued. ' French came next. Half of the class forgot their books, regard- less of the fact that fRuth VVilkinsonj Miss Steel, had promised a 'U' to such thoughtless Seniors. Miss Bryan's English IV class was taken by Pauline Baker, who persistently reminded the members that they showed few signs of good bninging up. Several exceedingly ignorant ones were threat- ened with suspension from class. Argyll Cook made a fine Mr. Murphy, reminding the gentlemen in. the back seats that this was no French mob scene, and adding, after a few moments' contemplation, that he didnit intend to be sarcastic. ,1 if Elizabeth Buchanan immediately began a War on gum chewing, th.is being Miss Hartfordis favorite slander on T. H. S. students. Miss lVare CAlice Kellyj also believed that Titusville's younger generation had very little sense. In fact, theyr didn't even know enough to get dressed before they came to school. WWWlnEfme+'i'f f l l I I ' i' Helen Kendall was practicing dignity, and her mode can imagine, was Miss Chase. The class was so qu.iet you a pin drop, and when one daring pupil passed a note, and :lil eyes saw it, the Whole class shivered in fear. Mr. Rathman's' place was filled by Art Bodamer. He up the window to awaken several drowsy members of the then smelled gum and discerning the guilty party, sent h study hall. i John Becker, as Mr. Bitters, opened the class with look on his face, the record book in his hand.

The 1923 football season, which began September 29, and ended November l7, was a success in many ways. ln the first plaee we Won five games, those from Clarion Normal, 1-.1 to 6, Union lflity, 25 to 0: Cainbridge Springs, 78 to 0, Franklin, 7 to 05 and Ridgway, 42 to 0. NVe lost but three contests, being' defeated by Oil City, 37 to 0, Clarion Normal, 13 to 0, and Meadville, 35 to 0. Our frreatest victory came on November 3 when we Jlaved ' PN 1 7 . Franklin here. The score was 7 to 0, and the lone touchdown was made by '1Dutch Bodamer, when there remained o11ly Z! minutes to be played. This victory was more satisfying because of the fact that T. H. S. was defeated by Oil City and Oil City was in turn de- feated by Franklin. Our most humiliating' defeat i11 years came to us in our final game of the season. Meadville High was the victor and the score was 35 to 0. They litterally t1'a1npled us in the mud. The condition of the g'r,idiron and a slight disadvantage in weight were the decid- ing' factors. There were about fifty boys out to the first few practice sessions, and from this number fourteen earned letters. They are: lViliam Ilefrich Ceaptainj, Lloyd Nic-hols Ccaptain-eleetj, Arthur liodamer, Kenneth Jacobson. Elmer Edwards, Gordon Boyle. Franeis Jordan, Herbert Stewart, Emory Pastorius, Edward Helfrich, Ulyde XValt- ers, Joseph Thompson and Harold Linden. T. H. S. looses o11ly three of these by graduation this year, so if nothing disastrous happens our team next year will be a champion one. Some of the other fellows, who were members of the second team, a11d who played at least a few minutes in some games. are XVilliam Matthews, Garrett Hummer, Hubert Preston, Arthur Schultz, Adam Kielp, James Francis, Troy Priiigrle, Ernest Palm- quist, Donald Forsberg' and Frank Turner. Bill Helfrich was our eaptaiin this year and he played in all eight games. He made six touchdowns during' the season and otherwise kept hnnself in the l.ll1lGllg.Q'llf. Bill will graduate this vear. 'tArt Bodamerf was a handy man at either qnarterbaek or in an end position. He made three touchdowns Ellltl helped to make many others. Pete l Linden played in only five games this year on account of being' a post graduate, although he has played only three years at football. He did justice to the center position and made one touchdown, although it did11 't count. Joey Tholnpson, the snappiest quarterback T. ll. S. has ever had, will also say farewell this year. Ile was Petc's side-kick. He made seven points for his team, although he participated in but five contests. Dutch Bodanier held down one halfback position very well and has six touchdowns to his credit. He played in all eight games. Lloyds will graduate this year and T. H. S. will lose one of its best athletes. Spud Boyle was a newcomer in football this year, but he showed that he could make things Boyle when he so desired. He was a regular at tackle and participate in all eight games. Red Edwards was also a newcomer this season and will be with us again next year. He played an end position and made 18 points for his team. Red can punt too. He played iniall games. Nick Nichols, our only real fullback, made 36 po.ints for the team and played .in. all eight games. Lloyd can tear through any line, no matter how big. Nick is our next year's captain. Ken Jacobson is the seventh and last player who was privi- leged to participate in all eight games. He played tackle and guard, and by his good work wrote his name in the hall of fame. Pat Pastorius, our lofty Junior, played center and also other mositions in six ames. He will continue his food work next year. 3 E- . He also played basketball. Francis Jordan, our heavyweight, played exceptionally well this year at guard and tackle. He played in seven games. He was especially good at tackle. .. Edward Helfrich was our prodigy and filled an end position to perfection. He participated in but four games. He was forced to leave the fun to others because of a broken nose. Clyde Walters was another surprise. He played his first foot- ball this year and made a good name for himself. He is very good at kicking the ball, but his regular position was guard. Herbert Stewart was also sort of a regular and received a let- ter for his good work att center. He was right there when the fun began. He played in but three games. -l.....1-1-- T. H. S. INTER-GLASS LEAGUE This year the' i11ter-class league i11 T. ll. S. caused almost as much interest as the N. W. P. I. A. A. league. Some very fast and exciting contests were staged, nearly all being played as prelimi- naries to the big league games. ln all, thirteen games were played and the Juniors won 6 and lost 1, thus gaining the championship. A handsome pennant was their reward. The Seniors were next in order with 5 games won and 2 lost. The Freshmen came next, while the Sophomores did not win a single game. Preston Bishop, a Senior, was high scorer, making 65 points. Milton Herman, a Jll1'L10I', came next with 37 points. While the games are very interesting in themselves, they also serve to prepare the boys for positions on the big team. r I ,J I 1-1 4-n, ,-+ N... UQ ES gg. s: 55' ME :fb 53 'S' 2' Q-+5 sr..

The season began on December 20, 1923 and ended on March 21, 1924. In all seventeen games were played, T. H. S. winning all but twelve of them. In the N. NV. P. I. A. A. league schedule we won three out of fourteen games. Although this is not very good, we are proud of the fact that we did our best and showed good sportsmanship in doing it. lVe had a small team this year and all new men, too. That was the condition of things that confronted Floyd Rathman, our coach. He worked hard and faithful but to no avail this year-but watch our speed next year. Th.is year three Erie Teams were entered i11 the league and this meant six defeats for Titusville to start with. YVarren came along with two more wallops, did Oil City, who won the cup in this district. We won and lost games with Mead- will and defeated Franklin both at home and on their own floor. At the start of the season the team won from the Alumni and Corry bu? at the end lost a return game with the Corryites. This was our third year i11 the N. VV. P. I. S. A. A. league and the interest in basketball is gaining with each succeeding season. Next year we hope to e11d the season nearer the top of the list. The eight players who scored points and also received letters .in basketball this year are Kielp 127 points, A. Bodamer 70, Edwards 64, Stevenson 61, Armagost 21, Matthews 16, Pastorius 9, Brecht 8. Art BOCl2iIIl91' was captain of the basketball team this year. Ile played a guard and forward position with equal skill. He is excellent at getting passes and his shots from the center of the Hoor were spectacular. Art is the only player to be lost to the team by graduat.ion. Adam Kielp was one of our forwards this year and proved to be a very good man on the floor. He was high scorer and was rather a clever shot at the basket. 1Ve're looking for better worklnext year. Red', Edwards was our star guard. He was third on the list for points. Dribblingl the ball is his specialty and he can do it to perfection. He is one of the, best men we have. Andy Stevenson, center and forward, showed promising form this season and will develop into a star next year. He had the jump on many of his opponents. William Matthews was a minute man until Joe Fine left, then he got a regular birth at guard. He showed up well too, but will do better next season. He helped make a number of po.ints. George Armagost was, in basketball, what you would call a pinch hitterl' in baseball. A good example was in the Franklin game at that city. George was substituted for Bodamer, and by his good eye for the basket made the deciding points to win the game. Emory Pastonius and his height came in l1a11dy on several oc- casions, for he played at center and guard x 'ry well. His endur- ance is not what it ought tot be but next year-well, just wait. Joseph Fine, who left T. II, S. in January, was the fastest for- ward of his size ever seen on a. local court. If he had stayed with us he would have gained fame for T. H. S. Besides the above mentioned players, our manage1', Ted Jacob- son, received a letter. .1 ,XX l i l . COACH HELEN GILBERT The Titusville High School was fortunate enough to again secure Miss Gilbert to coach the girl's basketball team this year. Miss Gilbert coached last years championship team and also is very well liked by everyone. She graduated from T. H. S. in 1919. Everyone hopes to have her with us next year. CAPTAIN ADELAIDE McMILLAN It is very regretful that Adelaide is to leave us this year. She piloted the girls' basketball team over the rocks and falls, and with Miss Gilbert, was responsible for a successful season. Ad played a. side-center position this year and her pass work was excellent. She has played on the team two years. CAPTAIN-ELECT MARTHA JILSON Martha is our stately sophomore member of the gills, squad, and right proud we are to have her lead us in basketball next year. A good season is almost assured with Martha at the Wheel. She played in a guard position on the team this year. ...pf N L GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girls' basketball season this yean was a decided success, although they cannot claim the championship as they did last year. However, they played eight games and won five of them. Th.is is theirx second season under girls' rules and they are becoming more proficient every season. The games won were from Franklin at home and on their ow11 court, Oil City, VVarren and Union City. The games lost were to Oil City, Warren and Kane. Adelaide McMillan was captain of this year's girls' basketball team and played ai side center position to the best of her ability- and this is of the best. She will be lost to the team through gradu- ation this year. She has played two years for T. H. S. Kathryn Sjoden also will leave us this year, and right sorry we are, for she played a forward position with such ability that she made nearly all the points scored by the team. O'f course the other girls had to be there, but they fed the ball to Kathryn when they wanted to score. She has been with us two years. Alice Kelly is another Senior whose position will be vacant next year. Alice is one of the best guards we have ever had. Ruth VVilkinson played the other forward position, and inas- much as this is her first year at basketball, she did exceedingly well. This is also her last year with us, much to our regret. Martha Jilson has played on our team for two years now and has two more years in which to show what she can do. Martha has done lost already but is capable of much greater things. Thus we have only Martha Jilson and Hazel Moore to start things w.ith next year. We should not be discouraged, however, for plenty of good material is in the offing. All the above girls received letters. '-.Av if 1 s -gags' 'f.',x-'ff Ka, gf-:'f,l7, 'hwy 94.52 -fy l L 4-',,',:':'xf fAf'Q'4,T wk..

' SENIOR NOVELTY CLUB The Novelty club was made up of six Seniors, Adel ide Mac- Millan, Eva Roof, Catherine Sjoden, Joe Radack, Evan wanson, and Art Bodamer, and was organized by this group earl in the school year. During the year they held three or four ve success- ful dancing parties, the Christmas party being a huge suc ess. We hope next year's Seniors will also have an organization of his kind, as Well-planned social affairs are an important factor in ny class. GLEE CLUB Although the Glee Club has not appeared in public th' year, it has not been idle. They have sung for the students of he High School and have entertained at several Teachers' Insti utes. A great part of their time was spent in preparation for t e Music Memory Contest which was held on May 9. Miss Dorot y Light won first prize in this contest and the Misses Ruth Wilki son and Alica Fisher were awarded second and third. SCIENCE CLUB. President .................. Iiindell Montgomer i Vice President ................ William Helfric Secretary and Treasurer ............ Mary Hank ' The Science club was organized under the leadershi of Mr. Murphy, instructor of science, and included all the Senior students taking scientific subjects. Through Mr. Murphys efforts, a Cross- ley XJ four-tube radio, with loud speaker, was procured, nd much enjoyed at the semi-monthly meetings. Such well-known local speakers as Mr. Murray, Mr. Evans and Mr. Montgom ry have spoken at the meetings, and it was indeed a privilege to h ,ar these men. ---l- l ORCHESTRA Under Miss Ina Britton, instructor of music, the Orche tra, this year, has made splendid progress. The members include? Marian Kerr, pianistg Richard Frawley, clarinet, Paul Smitlli Gerdes Brailsford, first and second violin, Francis NVright, trombo e. HOUSEHOLD ARTS The classes in Household Arts, taugh by Miss Lura Ware, in- structor of this department, has made much progress this ear, and the girls taking this subject have been much benefited bg the ex- perience. A, series of cafeteria dinners were prepared by these girls, and patronized by many pupils, as well as teache s of the High School. Many vocations depend upon a knowledge tif House- hold Arts, among them, Teaching, Dressmaking, Catering, Interior Decorating, Landscape Gardening, and Secretarial Work. l x , ti 5 TROTTY VECK President .................. Margaret Wilkinson Vice President .. ............ Iris Mook Secretary ................... Mildred Eshbaugh Treasurer ........................ Frances Boal The Rotty Veck club, composed of High School girls of the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes, is fairly bubbling over with pep and good fellowship, and the spirit of T. H. S. is upheld and strengthened. The activities of the year began with a get-togetherxdiinner at which Kelly and Peg gave their reports of Camp Napahwin, and the following chairmen were eleetedi Publicity, Christine Kerr, Program, Alicia Fisher, Service, Mary Parker, Entertainment, Alice Kelly, Finance, Suzan Burch, Elect Advisor, Mrs. J. H. Sehiede, and Elect Leader, Miss Ethel Remer. Following a delightful Hallowe'en party on October 22, we held a series of luncheons and tureen suppers, and a great amount of service work was accomplished, and it was at these, that Mrs. Baker gave her inspiring Bible talks. Due to the co-operation of the members, we were able to send Pauline Baker, Frances Boal, Marian Hall, Suzan Burch and Mar- garet Wilkinson to the Pittsburgh Annual G. R. Conference a11d Edith Amboyer, Iona. NVilson, Mildred, Eshbaugh, Alice Haslet Suzan Burch to the Oil City G. R., Conference. May 14 the club held .its third Mother and Daughter Banquet. The Y, VV. was most beautifully decorated in blue and White, and every mother and daughter wore blue and white caps. The song, Mother, which was dedicated to the mothers of the T. V. girls, was written by Miss Frances Boal, and was sung by the Misses Margaret Vtfilkinson and Pauline Baker. Miss Helen Marks, Dean of Pennsylvania College for NVomen, gave an inspiring talk on Vocation. Mr. Charles Fisher, represent- ing the mothers, gave a short talk on mothers and daug'hters. Toasts were also given by the Misses Alice Haslet, Mildred Esh- baugh and Dorothy Might. A party is planned before the close of school, for the purpose of welcoming the Freshmen. The activities of the year will close with an overnight hike and gypsy Pateran at the Hillside Camp. By graduation we lose some of our most earnest workers, but we hope that the girls of the younger classes who are each year taking the places of those who leave, will carry on the work which we have begun and make the name t'Trotty Veck loved and hon- ored by every II,igh School girl. THE SENIOR MEMORIAL LIBRARY. It is a known fact that every good school possesses a library. The wide-awake and thoughtful. class of '24 realized this and acted accordingly. Immediately after mid-year exams, the Senior Memorial Library opened to the use of the students of the High School with one hundred and eighty-five books on its shelves, and since, the numberl has been increasing daily. Besides the books, the library has a reading table covered with current magazines, which is very popular. Numbers illustrate more clearly than Words the popularity of the library, for records show that an average of sixty visitors a day frequent it. The Senior class of '24 could not have left behind it a more lasting gift to T. H. S. DRAMATIC t'larence, one of the lnost successful plays given .in the High School for many years, was presented by the newly organized Dramatic club under the capable instruction of Miss Merrie Stew- art.

The two long' tables were decorated in brown and gold, the Ilig-h School colors, and in the candle sticks and menu cards this color scheme was carried out. There were about 4.5 members and friends of the staff present, and Evan Swanson, who presided as toastmaster, ealled upon the following, who responded: the Misses Frances Boal, Edtitor-in-chief, Dolores Schehr, Editor '22-'23: Principal G. A, Stetson, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Rathman and Mr. A. H. Smith. Following the delightful dinner, the guests went to the lligrh School, where the evening was spent in games and dancing, to rather deficient Victrola music. EDITORIAL IN LEAVIN G. At this Commencement, sixty-five students of T. H. S. go forth from their Alma. Mater to take tl1eir places in the world,-th.is al- ready over-crowded old world of which they will so soon become a part. It is but a step over the border of High School days into the School of Life,-into that great institution in which so many lessons are taught,-and learned. VVe cross this threshold assuredly, nor do we worry about the requirements. Life, we think, is indeed a le11ient school, Hllil what does the question of a few units more or less, matter i11 gaining entrance to this democratic university? But the requirements are, never-the-less, present,-more rigid than those of the most select colleges. To enter, we must have our own units of courage, truth, dependability, good sportsmanship, and ever so many others. Fellowship, too, for in the School of Life one has many classmates. And it is during our High School days that we learn these things, that we come to know and abide by the standards of true worth which later enable us to meet the requirements of this stern- est-and friendliest of schools. NVe stand now on tl1e dividing line, the threshhold of manhood and womanhood, we have come to the first really serious under- taking' of our lives. iWhere we have risen to the highest pinnacle in T. Il. S., our Alma Mater, in this other school we are, yet, un- known, and our worth unproven. VVe are sad at leaving T. H. -S., the scene of so many joyous hours, the memories of which shall linger all along the shadowy path of the now distant future, when that future has become, in its turn, but the dim trial of the past. NVe are unhappy at leaving our classmates,-friendships which have become firm in our High School days together, and whose ties have strengthened with parting. But through the sadness which comes at saying farewell to our Alma Mater, there still shines that rose-glow of expectancy,-the hope of the great, new morrow in that other school. The lives of each of us of the class of '24 lie, clean and unmar- red like the leaves of an unwritten ledger,-our to do with as we please,-ours in which to write the story of success or failure. And after all .it is true that life is just what we, ourselves, make it, and in that other school, the great and friendly world, we are just be- ginning. OUR PAPER. As successful as were the Commencement exercises of the Class of '2-1 on Friday, June 13th.. was the 13th anniversary of the pub- lication of the O'ptin1ist.l' Contrary to the expectations of some of the more superstitious of our number, this year's Optimist was declared to be the best published by the students of T.itusville High School in years. At the beginning of the school year, the staff put forth their efforts to give the students of T. H. S. all that was best in a school paper, and put on an Optimist campaign, inviting sug- gestions, and offering prizes. This campaign was exactly what was needed to arouse the interest and enthusiasm of the students in their school paper. The resulting co-operation of the stud the faculty, the business men, and citizens of Titusvllle, much to make the Optimist one of the Liveliest school the state, and we wish to thank them, and to ask' that th the same courtesy to next year's'staE. It is with regret staE of '24 relinquishes their claim, but to those who next lish the school paper we extend our heartiest good wishes cessful year, and hope that they may know something of ure which we experienced in editing the Optimist . ' The Business Side of the Optimist. Do school papers pay for themselves? The Optimist can answer that question. They do. This year the Optimist has been a success 'rinanci nt body, as done pers in v extend that the ear pub- or a suc- he pleas- ly as ' al ell as in all other wa s Last year the Senior Annual left a W y . debt of something like sixty dollars. The Optimist made enough on the six monthly issues to pay oif this debt. The success of the monthly issues and of the fine nnual is due to both the students and our merchant advertise . The students never took such a vast amount of interest i their school paper as they have this year. The campaign for the Annual showed that. ' We have to thank Miss Ware and her girls for making the . fine pennant that Miss Steel's Juniors won. ille Merchants have backed the paper with all . The Titusv their might.

Jimmy is my room-mate, and a pretty good scout as room-mates go, though he has always been rather a source of worry to me. One has such a responsibility when one's room-inate is as reckless as Jimmy. He was Captain of the 'Varsity team, and the best athlete in school,-besides, Jimmy was handsome-just the type of combined movie hero and football star that attracts the feminine eye. This would have been well enough, in fact I rather admired these quali- ties .in Jimmy, had it not been for the one deficiency in his other- wise perfect makeup. He was far too susceptible to, the charms of these admirers, indeed, he so openly returned their affection, that, more than ever, I felt the keen responsibility which Jimmy 's reck- lcssncss always brought. He was sensitive, too, and his usually sunny nature always un- derwent a gloomy transformation at the first appearance of a cloud in one of these many romances. At times I really feared for him,- he would become irritable and pessimistic, and even take offense at the sight of me studying,--and this was my only pleasure, as I didn 't belong to the 'Varsity team, or in fact any other athletic or- ganization. One cannot afford to be reckless, you know. W'ell, when Jimmy fell in love with little Carolyn Coles, my sense of responsibility increased a hundred-folt. I could see at a glance that she was a frivolous, feather-brained sort of girl,-not at all the kind I would have chosen for Jimmy. XVhen I re- monstrated with him, however, he called me a Hnosey old book- worm .imagine !-and told me to attend to my own affairs. But besides a room-mate's natural interest, I had a real affection for Jimmy, and waited breathlessly for the disastrous end which I ex- pected would arrive at any moment. At last it came,-I was sure of it, I felt it at the! sound of his step in the hall. IVhen he opened the door and entered, I was cer- tain, of .it. His fact wore a' grim, determined look I had never seen there before. At a glance I know this was different from the out- come of those other, more trivial affairs,-Jimmy was in love, and Jimmy had been thrown over vulgarly speaking. I was about to remind him of my previous warning when I caught sight of a long, bulky package which he carnicd under his arm, and stopped. It looked suspiciously like a-but no! I could not even allow myself to think of it, much less believe it. The bed room opened off the chamber we used for a study, and it was here Jimmy hurried, closing the door behind him. I was stupified,-feeling my responsibility keeiier than ever before I crept to the door and listened. There was no sound. I put my eye to the key-hole,-and received the greatest shock that I had known in my four years with Jimmy. He had deposited 011 the bed, and was polishing vigorously-a gun! XVere my worst fears to be realized? I slept very little that night, though Jimmy seemed to rest peacefully enough, considering the terrible decision he evidently intended to carry out on the morrow. I was undecided whether to notify his guardian, a rich old codger whom I had never liked, or to plead with the feather-brained Carolyn. Finally I decided to do l V neither. After all, it was really I who cared most for Jimmy, and it was up to me to save h.im from himself. I had fallen into kind of a doze when I was again, awakened by a slight noise made by Jimmy getting out of bed. I opened one eye and watched him. It was yet early morning, and that gray half-light which precedes the dawn made the room just light enough to follow Jimmy's actions. VVith amazing rapidity he dosnned his oldest garments-clothes he had long ago discarded, and sworn never to wear again. Each time he approached the bed to assure himself that I was still sleeping, I would shut my eyes, breathe deeply, and feign sleep. Then, when he turned away, I would re- sume my watch. Finally he took tl1e gun from behind the wardrobe where he had concealed it, and stole from the room, closing the door softly behind him. No sooner had he shut the outer door than I was up and dress- ing hastily. I would prevent this catastrophe,-I should! I stole after Jimmy as he crossed the campus and climbed over the fence which bounded the college grounds. Into the dark woods he plunged,-I following, at a distance, of course, but always keeping in sight the tail of the old khaki coat. Suddenly he quickened his pace and somehow or other I lost sight of him. I was in despera- iton,-but hopelessly lost and powerless to do anything. Then through the silence of the woods al shot rang out! I stopped, stunned. All was over,-I had failed in my resolve! I could not move,-Jimmy was dead! Over and over those words kept ringing in my head,-Jimmy was dead,-Jimmy was dead! Then, regaining my courage, I set off on a run,-I must find him, at any rate,-perhaps I was not even now too late to do some- thing. Then, all at once there was a rustle in the shrubbery, and there stood-Jimmy! I stopped open-mouthed, aghast! He stared back at 1ne no less surprised. Well, Sylvester, ' he finally exclaimed, breaking the silence, Where'd you come from? Looks as though you were bound for a fire! I'll admit I was hurt. I did not expect thanks for attempting to save his life, but neither did I expect to be laughed at,-even if I was only partially clothed! I though you had killed yourself, I returned, with as much dignity as I could command. Killed myself? exclaimed Jimmy, emitting a burst of laugh- ter which resembled a volcanic roar,-Uliook here! -and he held up an object which resembled a rabbit,-a pitiful looking object from which the warm blood still dripped. Jimmy, I cried, Was that what you shot? Ile regarded me in a fashion which I rather resented, but did not burst into another fit of explosive laughter, as I feared he would. Listen, Sylvester, he began, I've been hunting. You know I can do anything,--practically everything, but I had never hunted for game in my life. Well, Carolyn,-bless her heart, agreed to be- come engaged to me,-thing of it, Sylvester,--to me l-and only on the condition that I master the art of hunting, and, incidently, return with my prey. I always insisted that Carolyn was a feather-brained, frivolous creature, and too, Jimmy had always been a more than ordinarily reckless room-mate. F. R. B.
