1 ANNUM HE Page Nine HELEN McCLAIN Member of Girls’ Hi-Y; French Club ’24, ’2.r»; In Pageants; High School Musicales: Member of Year Hook Staff. Helen is quite a poet, as you may see by reading this book. In which our class poem is penned. VVe like Helen for her kind, loving and generous ways. Her ambitions are high—to climb to the top of the ladder. She is an all around sport and takes her share of responsibilities as well as pleasures. Helen has a pleasing personality and is a true friend to everyone. We don’t know what she has planned to do. but we do know that her sunny disposition will make her road easy to travel. GERALD BREAKEY Assistant Treasurer of ’Owl ’25; H. G. T. C. ’24. ’25; Boys’ Chorus ’24, ’25; Campus Pageant ’23, 24; Hi-Y ’25; Secretary French Club ’24. ’25. Few of our class possess a mathematical mind. Gerald aids materially in remedying this deficiency. Gerald, while digesting physical laws and assimilating figures, also is helping others who are less fortunate in their mental make-up. Gerald will go on with his mathematics when he leaves Brookvilie High School by working toward a degree at Westinghou.se Tech. We wish him success. HELEN SUMMERVILLE, “SUMMERVILLE.” “OOP” Girls’ Chorus ’22, ’23; Secretary of French Club ’23: Captain of Girls’ Basket Ball Team ’23. ’24: Operetta ’22. ’24; .Junior-Senior Banquet Committee ’24; ’Owl Staff ’23; Pageants ’22, ’23, ’24; Athletic Association 24: Attended school eleven years without missing a day. Don’t overlook “Summerville,” the good-looking little girl done up in a small package, with lots of pep. Helen was our star forward in the Girls’ Basket Ball Team in 1924. When Helen came on the floor. the big girls sat up and took notice, as we say. She believes in the adage “Look into your vanity case before you leap. Her popularity was due to her cheerful disposition—a charm school in herself. '4 M THORNTON BOTTENHORN Hi-Y '25. Thornton, a fine, quiet young man. ned our class just this year. “Dock,” if silence were gulden, you would be a multi-millionaire. He reminds us of Coolidge, a wise old owl, because he received his E” alright. Never mind, the teachers never caught him talking, and that’s something they can’t say about Joe” Means. But iust the same we wish he had joined the class of ’25 in 21.

Page Eight L’ANNUAIRE DAN1RI. AFTON. “DAN Banquet speaker '24 Latin Club, ’23 A. A., 24, 25. •Dan is a big double fisted, big hearted fellow from Alaska. Yes. it gets so cold out there where he lives that he would have to use enough hot water to thaw the Ford out to come to school that it would make a good eruption of Old F'aithful of the National Park. Daniel’s not shedding any tears over the past but is looking forward to the time when he will be a member of “Tarzan Bailey's cabinet at the white house. The Class of Twenty-five wishes him the best of success. Beatrice McCullough. “bea”—“trix” Basket Ball ’22, ’23; Manager Basket Ball ’24; Operetta ’23; Batin Club ’23, ’24; Musicale ’22, ’23. ’24; Athletic Association ’23, ’24; French Club ’24, ’25; Hi- ’25. Sure, Trix” is one of our basket ball stars, but I guess evervone knows it without saying it again. “Trix liked History pretty well, I guess, but she surely loved French best of all. Oh, well! She talks rather Frenchy anvwav. Yes, and I guess she’s counting on being a nurse. ' Oh! I don't wanna get well! We send our love and best wishes with our own dear little girl. CHARLES A’HARR ATI Member of Hi-Y ’25; French Club ’25; English entertainment ’24; Junior Class Play ’24. Charles was just a little fellow when he came to Birookvilie High School, but with his four years of good, hard work, earning “IS,” he has grown quite a few inches taller. He made quite a Hit in the English Entertainment. as Jeff, with “Herb” as Mutt. We all think he would make a very good “Math.” teacher, as he could even g to sleep with a Plane Trig, for a pillow, and dream of Mr. Henry’s test, which always included the six functions of an angle. SARA KROH Girls’ Chorus ’22, ’23. ’24. ’25; French Club ’23. ’24; Girls’ Hi-Y ’25; Athletic Association 24. In classes, Sara’s a quiet little girl with nothing much to say. But when she gets out of school. Oh Boy! ( But we like her all the more for it.) She gives her tongue full sway. (Ask Bee for particulars.)

Page Ten 1 ANNUA IRE JOSEPH MEANS. “JOE.” “FOGHORN” Vice President of Senior Class; Athletic Association: Vice President Hi-Y Club; Senior Class Play “A Pair of Sixes;” Varsity Basket Ball Team 25; Boys’ Chorus ’22. ’23. ’24. '25; Operetta ’23. ’24; French Club '24. ’25; “Lightning Five” Basket Ball Team ’22, ’23. ’24; Advertising Manager of Year Book 25; Track ’25; Banquet Committee '24; Banquet Speaker ’24; Gym Pageant '23. ’24; Treasurer of Debating Club '24. Just look at the list of activities that head this and then form your own opinion of “Foghorn.” Although no beauty prizes have fallen to his lot we are sure “Joe” ha , a good show in that line. Anyway, “Joe” has a passion for very light-haired girls. Nothing is so congruent with his make-up as his nickname “Foghorn. Kind of handy to have a siren when you travel through a foggy river valley to call upon another species of siren. MATTIE SWINEFORD Girls’ Chorus ’22. ’23. ’24. ’25; French Club ’24; Operetta ’22, ’23; Athletic Association 24. “Patient of the toil, serene amidst alarms” Excitement may rage, storms may roar, and luck may go against her, but Mattie remains calm. We all admire, not only her beautiful hair, but her pluck and determination to succeed. HERBERT McGAUGHEY. “HERB”. HUB Athletic Association ’24, ’25; Boys’ H i-Y '25: Class Play ’25; Toastmaster at Banquet ’24; French Club '24. Track Team 25. Lean, long, lank Herb has inscribed a lasting mark in the hearts of all his friends. He is always there with a smile or a good natured laugh. Did you see him m our class play, and did you ever see him coming from Miss Truman’s room at noon? We wonder. HELEN GALBRAITH Pageant ’22, ’23; Girls’ Chorus ’23, ’24. ’25; Athletic Association ’24; French Club and Chorus ’24. Helen i«s going to Indiana Normal next summer; then she is gonna be a “School Marm.” “Deary O Me!” Did you ever see her smile, why you would never forget it if you once saw it. I guess “Hub” thinks quite a lot of it. Now I will take just a line and tell what she looks like. She’s not too tall nor too short, and the purty blue eyes, ’er are they grey? Her hair is almost red, but one would hardly believe it for she is happy and gay the whole long day, and never once in these four years has anyone seen a frown on her face.
