HAROLD BURKHOLDER-The presence of this lively fellow is as welcome to all the other fellows. as the sunshine, which seems to beam directly into the world from his broad, jovial smile. Harold has been an excellent student in agriculture and mechanicsg which shall prove him a great value to his community. His friendly bass voice can also be heard during glee club rehearsal. RUBY DUDGEON-Ruby's -friendliness and cheerful disposition have won her many friends. Her familiar giggle has almost become an established fixture of the high school. Ruby has been a loyal member of the Girl Reserves club throughout her high school career. Each day you will find her in the library distributing' ibooks, collecting dues, and doing all the duties of a capable librarian. She has also contributed her share toward the success of the Girl's Glee Club. SHERWOOD DILLER-Commercialization is Sherry's chief tendency, for he aims toward bigger and better business enterprises. His ability is displayed in this book, of which he shared the business end, very efficiently. His sunny disposition is known throughout the school, as is also his admiration for the weaker sex. Sherry's earnestness in his other activities has helped to put into everyone the same earnestness, and a desire to do their best. MADELENE GAIFFE- Vivre La France is the cry of this French maid. Few rank above her in the ability to speak and read French, and through this ability she has brought honor to the school in county scholarship contests. Her outside activities have been few, but by her contributions in scholarship and her loyalty to the school, she has contributed greatly to B. H. S. DONAVON GEIGER,-Known as Donnie, this fellow has developed a quiet, deliberate, pleasing manner. He plays a fine game of football and is a. consistently hard player. Since his main interest seems to be in woodworking, it looks as though Donnie would follow in his father's footsteps. Donnie's appearance is at all times pleasing and he greets everyone he knows with a ready smile. MARGUERITE GEIGER- Who said Marguerite plays football? No one, came the reply. Then why does she have that football around her neck? Oh, that's the other half's. We know that basketball claimed no small share of her time, although she didn't fail to lend a helping hand to anyone who applied. As a Home Economics student she couldn't be beat. In between times of day dreaming and studying, she shows her dimples to all who are her friends. .. C-A DQS? i f f

'q3l X- .. J I HAROLD BELL-Harold, another product of Orange Township, was an old stand- by of the Glee Club. Every Monday and Wednesday for four years his hearty bass has been heard ringing out through the halls in combination with that of many others. His smile, greeting all with equal friendliness, and his red hair have come to be an established fixture of the school and will be equally missed next year. CLEDA BINKLEY-Cleda comes to us from the railroad section-no, we don't mean that she works on the railroad, but just that it's near her home. She's little but she certainly makes up for her size by her happy disposition and willingness to take her share of the so-called burden of high school life. Her smiling face is seen in various corners of the Study hall, in the Library and even in the orchestra. JAMES BIXEL-James was an artist. If you doubt the truth of this statement you need only to glance through the pages of this Annual to find a multitude of proof without which this book would not be complete. His interest and loyalty to his Alma Mater are also shown in his faithful attendance of band, orchestra and Glee Club re- hearsals. He was one of the most interested and active Hi-Y members. FRANCES CRIBLEZ-Frances, with brown eyes and dark black hair, is a friend that cannot be found everywhere. She always greets you with a smile. Although Frances lives in the country, it does not keep her from being an active, loyal, ever- dependable G. R. member. She excels in one thing, and that is making grades. gin the honor roll, or at the head in her classes, or in orchestra, she was always ere. ROLAND BIXLER-Our truly Napoleon Bonaparte, Roney, has certainly been an asset to our class through his optimistic temperment and his ability to work. Some people are in no way content without all the work that can possiblv taker their time. and Nemo is just that sort. His fine managing ability is seen in this volume, of which he was Editor-in-Chief. Aside from this. he has entered many activities. He further showed his exceptional executive abilitv by piloting our class through 1929-'30. Roland's ambition is to be a lawyer, and certainly he has made a creditable start as he is State N. F. L. Extemporaneous Speech Champ. DORA DILLMAN-Dora is one of the most prominent of our High School warblers. Her contribution to the girl's Glee Club has been very outstanding. In her Sophomore year Dora left us and went to Detroit, but for four years she has been Working patiently. Her ability is not limited to music alone, as is proven by the fact that she has taken a prominent part in the various dramatic productions of our school. I' I I J l J 4 K r r v !

It was not only in football that Gar displayed his ine athletic ability, but athletics in every department. He did not limit his leadership to athletics alone but very capably directed the class and the Hi-Y club. During high school he was quite prominent in the music department. Even though he spent much time on outside activities, Gar did not fail to make a high :scholarship standing. EVELYN GRATZ Evelyn, as a reader, has placed herself uppermost in numerous state wide contests She was a debater of no mean ability. At noons you could find her Wlth Here thele snap! Just another comic strip for the Annual. She can also leed them a line because she works at the Grill.

Here's hoping you succeed in life as well WOODROW HERR-'Woody is a hard-working country lad who has shown fine ability in his school work Our country needs farmers and no doubt Woody will tum out to fill this need in an admirable way. He has already shown fine progress in this by his consistent support of the F. F. A. and the Smith-Hughes Work. VERA Habegger Vera is one of these girls who are small, but mighty. Especially does she show her might on a Basketball floor, and anyone having her for a guard knew they had a strong' opponent. She is peppy, energetic and full of spunkg always ready to hold her own against anybody. Anyone hearing her speak German will know she has had plenty of experience in talking it. When once you have become acquainted with Vera, you know you have a worth-while friend. PAUL HIRSCHLER-Paul has shown his ability mostly in debate and music, al- though he is a hard worker on the Pirate tennis squad, and can always be depended upon to play the game haid and square. Even if Paul is a small man in stature, he is big in his way He has by hard work, brought the Pirates much honor by his clear thinking and hard study DOROTHY HENRY To some, Dorothy seems dignified and reserved, an individual with whom It is hard to get acquainted. But to those who know her, Dorothy is cheei ful and full of fun a real friend. She has told many a lad when his library book is due, and collected many dues. Through her G. R. affiliations she has given her best to the High School, and has influenced many to do the same. Dorothy knew her food and was the success of many a party. 22 A -' U -, H . 1 7 .
