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.

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 !

-.. 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!
