22 THE BLUE AND STEEL sure that John will make a success of his life’s work. John is one of the best-dressed fellows around C. H. S. and also one of the quietest. One of the few things that our classmates have not been able to fathom is why John will not get up and speak in chapel for us. To hear John speak in chapel once would be a treat for the Class of ’28, but the fatal time is drawing nigh and we fear for the worst. We are sure that “Pol- lock” will enjoy college and have many good times through a successful professional life. Good luck to you, John—Class of ’28. “Pollock is sure a success to be, And we wish him luck as a future M.D.” LANCE SINGLETON STALEY Staley ,” “Lance” “Where’s the women ?” Gypsy Rover (1) ; Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Latin Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Science Club (2, 3, 4) ; Debating Team (4) ; Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Band (4). “Staley” is one of the quiet fellows of our class, who has little to say, being of a very quiet nature, but when his voice is heard we are sure to hear something worth while. “Staley” is another member of our class who intends to pursue the medical line at Gettys- burg College in the fall. Although a quiet boy, “Lance” has been stepping out in the last year and we are almost sure from appearances that there must be one of the opposite sex concerned! We hope, “Lance,” you make a great success during your college career and beware of the Gettysburg co-eds— for we are looking forward to the great M.D. in future years to come. To you goes the best of luck from the Class of ’28. ‘Staley,’ riding in his car. Makes six miles under par.” TITCS JOHN STELTZ “Steltzie,” “Titus,” “Jawn” “Let’s eat!” Science Club (2, 3, 4) ; Football (4) ; Basketball (4). Of all the shy fellows around C. H. S. “Titus” is one of those most affected by a bashful complex as far as the weaker sex are concerned. John is an athletic sort of a 4—Beaver-Martin—7837 ................HUTTON fellow and his big blonde head was an inspiration to the rest of the fellows on the team which supported C. H. S. in the past year. Many of the girls in the Class of ’28 have looked longingly at John’s blue eyes and blonde hair, but to no avail, for “Titus” is not the kind to fall. “Titus” is sure to receive a welcome anywhere and he has the best wishes of the Class of ’28. “'Titus,' bashful, and ever late, Made the teachers always wait.” EDWARD WILLIAM WHITE “Eddie” “I’ll bite—what is it?” Gypsy Rover (1) ; Sailor Maids (3) ; Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Honor Bright (3) ; The Patsy (4) ; Commercial Club (2, 3, 4) ; De- bating Team (4) ; Oratorical Contest (3, 4) ; Editor of Blue and Gold (4). Behold! our most popular boy! “Eddie” is the best-liked boy of the class. He is good- looking—there’s no question to that and his appearance is always of the best. He pos- sesses the combination of brains, common sense, humor, irresistible smile, and leader- ship. He has no rival in his achievements. “Eddie” is always willing to do something for anyone and has never been known to refuse anyone. When he is not busy he is usually up to mischief. He has a long string of admirers, and who wouldn’t fall for those big Irish blue eyes and that agreeable dis- position? We have heard that “Eddie” in- tends going to college, although he is not sure. We hope you do go, “Eddie,” for your scholastic ability will carry you to the highest success. We all wish you the best of luck and success in your future life. “A conquering man, with handsome parts, lie has no precedent in breaking hearts.” FRED ARTHUR YOUNGJOHNS “Fred,” “Youngy” “I don’t know and I don’t care.” Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Band (3, 4) ; Latin Club (1, 2); Science Club (2, 3, 4). “Fred” is one of those chaps no one seems to know much about. “Fred” is very for- getful when it comes to getting his report card in on time. He either mislaid it or forgot to bring it. Good alibi, don’t you think? That is all we know about his out- yard appearance, but the few who know the “real Fred” declares that “Fr?d” isn’t the chap we think he is. If you need a helping hand call on “Fred” and you are sure to get it. To you, “Fred,” from the Class of 1928, the best of luck for the future. A silent chap he seems to be. An example for future lads is he.” EULIA MAE ADAIR “Teeny “My Cow!” Gypsy Rover (1) ; Miniature Lady (2); Sailor Maids (2) ; Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Glee Club (1, 2, 3); Latin Club (1, 2); Sci- ence Club (2, 3, 4) ; Home Economics Club (+). “Teeny” is an Academic student and she is full of fun. “Teeny” expects to be a teacher some day. Well, we wish you the best of

THE BLUE AND STEEL 21 JOHN FRANCIS McCLOY Piggy “Is this a good school for Business Administration ?” Miniature Lady (2); Sailor Maids (3); Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Honor Bright (3) ; Science Club (2, 3, 4) ; Oratorical Contest (4). “Piggy” is the bluffer of the class. When he is called on in History he answers whether he knows anything about it or not, but he usually comes out on top, for we know he has the brains. We hope “Piggy” soon decides which college to attend, for we are afraid he will wear all the catalogues out looking at them. “Piggy” is always cheerful and a friend to all. Mothers, watch your daugh- ters when Piggy” comes down the street, all dressed up and wearing his derby—he’s a knockout! But, no kidding, John, may success be yours from the Class of 1928. “ IVhatever 'Piggy' attempts to do, He chants from the shooting of Dan McGrew.” HARRY HENRY MIKSCH “Mikschie” “Woo-Pee!” Football (1, 2, 3, 4); Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4, Captain); Baseball (3, 4); Band (2, 3); Orchestra (1, 2, 3); Bells of Beaujolais (4); Science Club (3, 4; Blue and Gold St iff (41. Harry has always been a staunch defender of the Blue and Gold in all sports. He is a happy-go-lucky sort of chap, good-natured, and lust overflowing with fun. Everybody has noticed Harry’s eves. They just sparkle with laughter and mischief. When he laughs his eyes seem to disappear. We know not what Harry intends doing after finishing school, but we all know that a certain young person has been oatiently waiting for him since last June. Whatever course he follows we wish him all the luck in the world. With smiling face and curls galore, He’s very easy to adore.” THOMAS ELROY MCRRAY “Murrie” “So’s your old man!” Orchestra (3); Science Club (4); Debat- ing Team (4) ; President of Athletic Asso- ciation (4) ; Blue and Gold Staff (4) ; Bells of Beaujolais (4); Commercial Club (3); Oratorical Contest (4). Stop! Look! And Listen! The Sa’esman Sam of our Class is here. Who is h ? Well, none other than Elroy Murray. For he sure can talk and can sell anyone—any- thing at all. This was shown to us when it came to sell tickets for the p'ays; Elroy couldn’t be beat. Whenever there w re prizes given for selling tickets for the plays, Elroy would always bring home the prize to our class. Elroy, we are wondering why you spend so much of your time in Jefferson- ville. Could it possibly be a girl, or do you merely go there for the ride? Well, Elroy, whatever you do, or where you may roam, the class wishes you the best of luck, and, most of all, success—which we are sure is yours. “Not very small, not very tall, But, nevertheless, he can be heard above all.” JACK THOMAS PALMER Jack” “You have a date?” Honor Bright (3); Baseball (3, 4); Foot- ball (4) ; Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Band (2, 3) ; Commercial Club (3, 4). “Jack” is one of our bashful boys, but no matter if he is bashful or not, he is one of our athletes. Whenever you take a look at an Arrow Collar Ad, just take a “squint” at “Jack.” No wonder the Freshman Class want to hold on to “Jack.” We, the Senior Class, must admit we are rather envious to think they claim him rather than us. And to you, “Jack,” with your athletic ability, and your cheery smiles, which we know will carry you a long way in the future, we wish you lots of success. “Quite an athlete is he, The boy who is as bashful as can be.” ERNEST JAMES PETTINE “Ernie” “Aw—go on.” Football (4) ; Basketball (4). “Ernie” is a fellow whom everyone likes and who always has a bit of humor to add to any situation. “Ernie’s” presence on the athletic teams of C. H. S. was a great help to the rest of the fellows because he possessed that fighting spirit which always has been respective of C. H. S. ath'etic teams. Besides being an athlete “Ernie” is a musician and he sure can tickle the ivories. We are all sure that “Ernie” i3 on the fair road to success and as he rolls along on the highway of Life he has the best wishes of the Class of ’28. “ ‘Ernie,’ with his clever jokes, Always charms the ‘feminine’ folks.” JOHN CLARENCE POLLOCK “Pollock” “Who can g“t tlv car?” Latin Club (1, 2, 3); Science Club (2, 3, 4). “Pollock” is one of the odd fellows of the Class of ’28; he has an attractive manner and he has manv friends among the students at C. H. S. “Pollock” has plans to go to college next year to study medicine. We are

THE BLUE AND STEEL 23 luck, Eulia, and we are mighty glad you aren’t to be our teacher. She is one of those girls you can’t help but like. She has a sunny disposition and is a good sport. We wonder why Eulia is firm in her stand to attend West Chester Normal? Is it to obtain greater knowledge or a better idea of the opposite sex? Only “Teeny” knows and she won’t tell. We wish you great success in your college career, and we hope to hear from you from time to time, so don’t forget us. “Cheery smile, sunny gal, To us all she is a pal.” ELEANORE GOURICK CAINE “Gainey” “Land Goshen!” Science Club (2, 4) ; Glee Club (2) ; Latin Club (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Bells of Beaujolais (4). To know her is to like her. Eleanore has a steady, conscientious disposition, which should be an example to us all. She is an indispensable member of our class, is not in- clined to be outspoken, but rather to be solemn and silent in the presence of strangers. But as soon as she is acquainted, she is full of life as any other memb r of the class. My, how we all will miss “Cainey’s” frown, which she can do to perfection when some- thing displeases her, or her bored expression when we poor mortals in class could not grasp the topic under discussion as well as she—for, you know, Eleanore is very intelli- gent and because of it was elected to be salutatorian of the class. Besides, ( ainey tends toward being slow, especially when it comes to going to school; it seemed at times that Eleanore’s motto should be, Never hurry, never worry, the school will wait till I arrive. ” But, at that, with all her faults, we are sure of Eleanore’s success and the best wishes of the Class of ’28 go with you. “She attempts the end and never stands to doubt, . n Nothing but hard work will find it out. GLADYS MAE CAMPBELL “Glad” “Aw—naw-thing!” Miniature Lady (2) ; Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Blue and Gold Staff (4) ; Correspond- ing Secretary of Class (4); Basketball (1, 2, 3. 4). , Behold the star forward of Conshy s bas- ketball team! Gladys has another vocation besides plaving in athletic games and that is “heart-breaking.” But, never mind, Gladys, vou rre proof that “gentlemen do not preier blondes. Gladys has a way of succeeding in everything she undertakes, Yvhich %e ar. sure will help her to succeed in the business world. You have the best wishes of the Class of ’28. Brown of hair, brown of eye, . She makes many of the Senior boys sigh. LAVINIA ALICE COLEN “Peanuts” “Oh! Gee!” Commercial Club (4) ; Home Economics Club (4) ; Miniature Lady (2) ; Sailor Maids (3); Bells of Beaujolais (4). Here we have a little mite, but who has a big heart and a store of good nature—that’s “Peanuts.” She is sort of quiet until you really know her and then—how she can talk —an incessant line of chatter that makes one want to laugh. Lavinia was one of our prima donnas and sung her way to success during our Senior year—we feel that if she were to choose music for her life vocation that her name would appear in the bright lights. But, alas, as she is one of our com- mercial students, her choice will be—that of a stenographer, and we know she will suc- ceed because she is another version of the old adage, “Good things come in small packages.” Therefore, Lavinia, Yvhether it be shorthand or on the stage, success to you from the Class of ’28. “She is a maiden of artless grace, Gentle of form and fair of face. GRACE CATHERINE CONGLETON “Grade” I’ll slap your face!” Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Science Club (1, 2) ; Latin Club (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Debating Team (4). “Grade” always used to be one of our quiet girls, but now she is forever talking and Yve can’t keep her quiet. Grace is the poet of the class. She is always Yvriting poetry about someone. She expects to go to Normal School next year to become a teacher. The Class wishes you lots of suc- cess and may Yve hear from you in the future as a successful teacher. “Quiet a poetess is she, n The girls who hums like a bumblebee.” CATHARINE AMANDA COCLSTON “Kitty” “What’s it to you?” Sailor Maids (3) ; Latin Club (1, 2, 3, 4) ; ;iee Club (1, 2); Home Economics Club 4); Basketball Team (3, 4); Debating 'eam (4); Oratorical Contest (4). Behold! Here we have “Kitty,” a mem- er of the fair sex who has made quite a ame for herself as an orator in debating his vear. “Kitty” not only made a great uccess of debating, but was also one of the uards on the Varsity Basketball Team. She as been an ardent supporter of every activity n the High School, especially in athletics. )uring the last few months “Kitty’s” atten- ion has swerved tosvards boys’ athletics, specially among the Junior Class, and we vonder why this class distinction?
