24 THE SENIOR [MAGNET HAROLD FRANCIS SANDBACH President Sandy Behold, our honorable, praiseworthy, dignified, studious, talented president. What would our wayward class have done without his reminding us of our duties with his daily orations. We wondered at his absence from school several days until we heard he was fond of going hunting. We also hear that when he goes deer hunting, he can be found near the top of Center Ave. PAUL ANDREW DUNCAN Vice-President Suds A wee canny Scotchman from the land of Bobby Burns, whose Scotch characteristics stand out all over him, like the burrs of the Scotch thistle and whose favorite quotation is: “O! wud some power, the gif tie gie us, To see ourselves as ithers see us.

Of course there’s Esther Kramer, she is taking Miss Purvis' place, and Floyd Yohe has slipped into Mr. Gibson’s position. Glenn Thompson is now a flourishing young doctor with Agnes Gillespie as his head nurse. Carl Miller is president of a bank and bossing our old friend Sandy, who is now married and has a thriving family. Ethel Silverman is writing the beauty hints for the paper, while her old friend, Sara Spero, is teaching the Eskimos how to powder their noses correctly. We knew Ruth Goldbloom would come to fame; she is running with Paul Christley for the presidency of the United States. Betty Neil is now the proud possessor of a Packard instead of her once faithful Lizzie. Clare Koch? Oh, she and LeNore and Ted are touring the world giving concerts, while Dick Ashbaugh goes along as handy-man. Ellsworth and Lois are now starring in Grand Opera, while our class is also represented by dramatists—Peazer Hill and Ralph Schenk, of course. And Peg Beserock, what do you think? She’s head telephone operator. Esther McChesney and Carlyle are nicely settled on a little farm near Renfrew. Vic Bachman has gone to discover what marks the North Pole and is accompanied by Marcus Basham and Gib Anderson. Carl McMurry is playing all the love roles in the movies; we knew he would; and guess who plays opposite him, Helen Gould. Elizabeth Kalina is president of the school board, and Jimmy Lawless is treasurer. Poor Jimmy, he has a steady position. I can’t tell what all the members of our notable class are doing but I must mention Joe Rigby before 1 close. Can’t you guess what he is doing. Why he has taken Bucky’s” place and is loved by all the students. Louise DeFoggi is a famous toe dancer and Mary Walker, the president’s private secretary. I must close as Paul Duncan Junior demands my attention. I am, Senior English teacher, Nancy Claire Miller. 'm ' cjrVrfHp

ALDA CLAIR ANDERSON “Al. Alda is a dainty little lass with chestnut brown locks. Although she is one of the wee maids in our class, do not make a mistake for her heart’s as big as any one in our room, not excluding Vic Bachman. They say that every sailor has a sweetheart in every port, but we know Don has only one and that is “Al” of the class of ’23. GILBERT HARRY ANDERSON “Gibbie” Above all, behold our last student manager of baseball and a very praiseworthy athlete especially in basket ball. “Gibbie” is a very popular young man of our class, known and beloved by all—even the teachers to whom he was often a pu . de, especially when he refused to recite. RICHARD ALVIN ASH B AUG 11 “Dick” Richard Ashbaugh is the infant prodigy of our class. 1 lis proud parents claim that at the remarkable age of six months he spoke the Latin tongue with a fluency that was astounding. As a result, we have the honor of having this precocious child graduate with us. In our estimation “Dick’s” lack of height is more than offset by the size of his heart,—and his feet.
