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.

1 -1 EDYTHE MAE AMBOYER uEdel1 Commercial Course, Glee Club 1 yr., Trotty Veck Club, lt-Sutz-Us Literary Society. 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!

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.
