-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!

-.. 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!

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.
