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.

President '25: French Club '24, President '25; ’Owl Staff '24. ’25: Year Book Staff ’25; Class Play ’25; Boys’ Hi-Y ’25: Delegate to Hi-Y Conference ’25. “The warmth of genial courtesy The calm of self-reliance. Far and wide we might search, but Forrest remains unparalleled. He has a personality distinctly his own. Did you see him play the i art of the lawyer in our class play? Like Addison, he plays the role of spectator and like him. lie has well defined opinions. The feminine sex has no attraction for him—lie's invincible. MARY ALICE STARTZELL. “ADJECTIVE” Girls’ Chorus 22, ’23: Pageants ’22. ’23, ’24: Operetta ’22, ’23: I anquet Committee ’24: French Club: Hi-Y ’25. Yes, of course she has to do something to pass the time, so she just writes notes or talks—sure, she studies some. too. You can always find her when she is wanted. Did you ever hear her laugh? You can locate her bv that if nothing else. Say, did you ever hear that other laugh. “Ha! Ha! ? Still, we must admit she is a very fine young lady, full of pep. and has been a great help to our dear old class. HENRY SILVIS Athletic Association. Hi-Y ’25. One of the cleverest and wittiest fellows in the class is Henry. Have you ever met him when he didn’t produce that charming grin of lvis and ask How’re ya? ' or when lie didn't have some witty retort to make to you? He has a disposition guaranteed not to wear, shrink or fade. Henry is another who came to us this year from Sigel. He lias been with us only a few months but he certainly has made up for lost time. Every member of the Senior Class knows and likes Henry. MABEL CRAMER Operettas ’22, ’23, ’24; Musicale ’22, ’23, ’24: Pageant ’22, ’23, ’24; Girls’ Chorus ’22, ’23, '24. ’25; Cheer Leader ’23, ’24, ’25; Latin Club ’23, ’24; Banquet Speaker ’24; Banquet Committee ’24; Athletic Association ’24; Assistant Business Manager of ’Owl ’24; President Girls’ Hi-Y ’25; Treasurer Class ’25; Class Play ’25; Annual Staff ’25. Hats off to the treasurer of our class. Mabel is a sample of real pep. It takes pep to make the band wagon go and she sure has it. We have never had any activity of any kind that Mabel has not given her suggestions. Have they ever been defeated? No, not to the knowledge of our class. She knows no defeat. After starting, she continues to the end. These are the characteristics of a leader. Obtain them and you will obtain the qualities she has exhibited throughout her high school career. In her classes she never needed to count the minutes until bell time like a few of the rest of us. You wonder why? Well, she always got her lessons, and therefore, excellent grades. We think Mabel is going to be a nurse. We hope she will be as successful in that work as she has been in her high school work.
