John is tall and has a sunny disposition. His hobbies are ath- letics. He played on the football, basketball and baseball teams, being captain of the latter two. John is one of our popular members and we knew his smiles often meant deter- mination. They helped us to go to Washington, as everyone knows.

Paul is a humorous fellow wearing a different tie every day. We think he would make a good salesman, if he keeps it up. He can sell any- thing as we already notice by his in- cessant “line.” He is one of the best vocalists in our class. “Able to sustain a nation's fate. HARRY LEES ROWAN “Tinker” “Oh! I say.

Tinker has a comprehensive knowl- edge of everything and is never too busy to help a fellow-student. There is nothing bashful about him, either. His favorite pastimes are dancing and playing golf. We shall miss his comradeship and his bright, merry smile. “A smile will go a long, long way. VERNON HARRY SCOTT “Scottie “Hey, don't.” Gregg Club. 4, English Club, 1, 2, 3, Science Club, 1, 2, Commercial Club. Vernon is the quietest boy in our class. We hardly ever know he is around.

He is a helpful and cheerful worker, but is always in for a good time. “A merry heart brightens the way.” DONALD RANDOLPH JONES “Jonesy” “Windy” “I’ll fix you up later.” President of Band and Orchestra, 3, 4.

His major pastimes are eating and the, art of talking. No wonder he can play the trombone so well. We think he should take up lecturing instead of electrical work, although he is a good electrician. “To see him is to hear him.” GERMAIN LA BRECQUE “Frenchman” “What? V ? ” “Gypsy Rover” 3, English Club, 1, 2, Chemistry Club, 4. Band, Orch- estra, 4. Germain is a fellow who is always arguing, whether he is right or wrong. One of his aims is to be a forest ranger. We hope he suc- ceeds. His favorite saying is “What?” which is usually followed by a deep innocent look. Germain says he knows more French than any person in C. II. S. One day he slipped in French class and said something he should not. “Silence is golden—sometimes.” GEORGE KENTWORTHY LENTZ “Lentzie” “Sport Model” “Syd” “Done Shorthand.” English Club, 1, 2, 3, Science Club, 2, Spelling Bee. 3, “Gypsy Rover,” 3, “Miniature Lady,” 4. “Green Stock- ings, 4. President Student Council, 4, Commercial Club Play, 4, Ass't. Editor of Blue and Gold. George is one of the niftiest boys in our class. When Lentzie comes to school in the morning with those plus fours and that sweater and pat- ent leather haircomb, the girls just could not work the rest of the day. He is one of our biggest teasers and always full of mischief. He is inter- ested in most anything not pertain- ing to studies, especially girls. We don't know George’s ambition in life, but whatever it is, we just know there will be girls mixed up in it. “A little nonsense now and then, Is relished by the best of men.” JAMES EDWARD MELLON “Jimmie” “Gym” “Hoot Mellon” “Let’s go, Hewitt.” English Club, 1, 2, Civics Club, 1, 2, Science Club, 1. Jimmie is a true “blue-chaser.’ It is not known what percentage of his'' jokes were cracked unconsciously, but they have given the class and teachers many a hearty laugh. “A smile for all.” GEO. WASHINGTON MIDDLETON “Colonel” “Attorney “Get out!” “Aw, I say. don't.” English Club. 1. 2, Science Club, 1, 2, Delta Club, House Manager in Senior Play, 4. George appeared at first to be a very quiet boy, but he fooled us all. If at any time you happen to need a comedian, call on George. He cer- tainly entertained us in English class and put all of us in a good humor. He likes to study and burn gas. George’s favorite sayings are those of a bally Englishman—“Aw, I say, don't.” “Witty, courteous, liberal, full of spirit.” ROBERT PAUGH NEIL “Bob” “Neily” “Squire” “What do we have in shorthand tomorrow ?” Civics Club, 1, Football 2, 3. 4, Captain of Football team, 3, 4.

He never knows what we have until he gets to class, but he always pulls through some way. He was our football captain this year and certainly did his work well. We hope he always keeps up that “fight- ing” spirit. “Who’s got his shorthand done? JOHN ELDRIDGE PRIZER “Jack” “Johnnie” “Jawn” What did you say?” English Club, 1, 2, Science Club, 1

Ray holds numerous offices because he can be depended upon. That is why he is so popular. He was our to mer president and helped greatly in la.s'ng the money for our AVash- ington trip. He feels equally at home in the classroom or in ballroom, fortunately it is the former and not the latter that calls him at 9 A. M.

Everyone around the school knows Ottie and his tricks. Leave it to him to think up and perform stunts, for he certainly can do it. He is one of our star athletes in football, basket- ball and track, lie is our best danc- er. too. One of his interests is the fair sex, but lie's a wonderful sport and a ripping good one. “Come and trip it as ye go. On the light fantastic toe!” THE ORCHESTRA AND BAND The month of June has arrived, and for many it only means the coming of another summer vacation, while for others it means the end of their high school days. Due to graduation, the orchestra will lose many of its members who have helped for the past years in making the orchestra the success it is today. These members do not wish to claim all of the success be- cause if it were not for the ability of their leader, Miss Jane E. Griffith, the orchestra would not have prospered as it did. It is only fair that we should make mention of the names of these members who tire leaving this year. Glenn Davis, First Clarinetist. Glenn has been a great help to the orchestra since he entered in his Freshman year as second violinist. In his Sophomore year he was pro- moted to first violinist, holding this position until February of his Senior year, when due to the fact that the orchestra lost the valuable help of Fred Faust, Glenn began to bring his clarinet to orchestra practice and later was made first clarinetist, holding this place until graduation. He has been a great help to the band as solo clarinetist. Besides the clarinet, he plays the violin, saxophone, and piano. Fred Faust. First Clarinetist. Fred joined the orchestra in the beginning of his Junior year as the only clarinet player and held this position until his Senior year, when he was jo'ned by Germain La- Brecque. Since Fred finished school in February he has been playing third clarinet with the Wanamaker Band. Fred was also clarinet player with the high school band. Germain LaBrecque, First Clari- netist. Germain ha® been with the orchestra and band since the be- ginning of his Senior year. He has also been very faithful at rehearsals and has proven a great help to both. Chester Sinclair, Solo Cornetlst. Chester is another member who joined the orchestra in his Fresh- man year as second cornetist, and who worked his way up to soloist. He has been very faithful in his four years work, and it has been through him that the orchestra has
