-.. 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!

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.

-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!
