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.

'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.
