Payc Tirrnty T . . ( AIRE iininna:;! PEARL SOWERS Pearl, with scores of friends and more, Has talents plenty—yes, galore; Studious, friendly, yet so gay, Her friends are as many as hours in the day. PAUL K. STOLZ P. K. came to us in the Junior year from Jeanette High, bringing with him many things worthy of note along the literary line. As editor of the Owl, and originator of the year book, he has made a name for the class, as well as himself. Stolz is our entry for true ambition. DONALD SWARTS Don was vice-president the first three years and has always stood out in class affairs. His ability as pianist in the High School Orchestra is worthy of no slight mention. ELLWOOD SWINDELL Swede is a student of great class fame. He is a star of the Basketball field, and the friend of a fair maiden. He is liked by all his class mates, and everyone else. He is a member of the Orchestra, being one of the first violinists. He is very gallant and through this method has won a great many friends. MARY THRUSH Quiet, but charming is this young lass, We are proud to have her in our class; She has been with us only a year, And when one learns to know her, She’s a little dear. RALPH THOMAS Ralph Thomas looks at a lot of friends through a pain of glass. Ralph comes to our school from Ohl, and is a constant customer of the Hoodie Bug. He will get there, too. HERBERT WEBSTER Herbert Webster—a new-comer to our class, Has, with his brains joined the mass, Of students here to do his best, In winning honors with the rest.

CHARLES PARK Will the eyes of the audience please turn this way; we take great pleasure in presenting to you Charles Park, our esteemed Class President. To attempt to put in this small space the history of his career at B. H. S., is an impossibility, but we will attempt to do him justice in these few lines. “Chas.” has been a live wire in promoting things of interest at B. H. S. for the last four years, but his Senior year probably outshines the rest. The successful way in which he managed the fourth page of the ’Owl, reflects no little credit on him. His part in the Charm School and Be Yourself, show him very capable in the field of dramatics. The cartoons and headings in L’Annuiare, are all products of his pen. Park is of a type that is practically indis-pensible to a class and school. HELEN RAYBUCK Helen Raybuck is a girl of great ambitions, and hopes sometime to use them. She is a member of the Girls’ Chorus. She works hard at home as well as at school. She is a friend of the members of all the classes and loves the lads as well as the lassies. WILLIAM K. REID Bill Reid is as live a chap as ever went to B. H. S. He is a real musician, having mastered the saxophone, banjo, and piano. Bill did much to make his mark on the second team, and in the class play. The boy has a wonderful brain. LAURA RUDDOCK Laura is a winsome daisy from Daisytown, Who had her locks clipped just this season, Always glad to do kind deeds unto all her friends They’re all attached to her for this very reason. MARGARET SCOTT Margaret’s the girl with red, red curls, Oh, she is envied by all the girls, As for gettin’ thru-leave that to Scott, ’Tis a winning battle she has fought.

L'AXXIMRE Par e Twcn ty-on HESS ELIZABETH WALLACE Besse, a belle from the plains beyond Sigel came to B. H. S. to obtain knowledge on how to get rich (ie). Well she soon found it in the class of ’22, but finds it quite difficult to get wholesale, so she is gaining little by little by love. Besse has a general knowledge of most things, but more specific some day, she says she will have it. We suggest one way to get her desire is to take up Home Economics. EUGENE WHITEHILL Beany boasts an everlasting good nature. That is the way to make friends, isn’t it, Gene? And oh, did you ever see this boy pitch a baseball game, and he was a star on the old Reserves in basketball. GENEVIEVE WILSON To tell of Genevieve would take quite a while, As for her classmates, she always has a smile. And although we must say good bye, And leave the school with many a sigh, Thoughts will often come to our mind, Of Genevieve quiet, studious, and kind. RICHARD WILSON If Dick Wilson were king, no one would ever weep, for if you want to see the best example of youthful' happiness and joy in life, look at this young man. It is a fact that if any teacher ever wanted to get in an argument she never picked on Dick, Ask Miss Stewart. A TERRIBLE BLUNDER Evans—Did you hear about Swindell last Sunday? Deibler—No, what was doing up at Harsh’s last Sunday? Evans—This wasn’t up at Harsh’s; this happened down at the Methodist Church. You see, everything was going nice and quiet like, when all at once the organ began to play, ‘Rock of Ages’, and Swindell thought it was America and took off his hat. Miss Hamilton—Why dp authors say: “A smile crept over her face” ? Sam Moore—Because they were afraid if it went much faster it might kick up some dust.
