 JOSEPHENE SMITH, Jo Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; B. B. 1-4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Latin Club 2, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4; Junior Play; Operetta 4. You always think of Josephene with a smile of appreciation. She has worked hard in school and will certainly create a bright spot in some busy business man’s office. Moreover, if she’s like the general run of stenographers, she might even go a step farther. She has had some theatrical experience so we bet on her. VIVIAN LUCILE THORNTON B. B. 1-4; Latin Club 1, 2, 4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4. Vivian is little but she’s mighty. She started in so young that it’s only this year that she has been able to reach the floor with her feet when she sits in the assembly chairs. PAUL WILLISON Class President 1, Vice-President 4; Ag. Club 1, 2, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4, Capt. 4; Ag. play 4; Com’l Club 3; Lumo Ruido, Vice-President 4; May Fete 2; Operetta 3; F. L . H. Club 3, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4. Paul was one of the mainstays of the football team. His great personality has also attracted must attention across the footlights. It’s wonderful what a great change attending high school has made in Paul. One prominent senior Miss was heard to say that since becoming captain of the football team, taking up the use of Stacomb, and appearing in sheik breeches all the fair ones fall for his line. HELEN V. YOUMANS Santa Rosa, Cal. 2; I atin Cluh 1, 4; Girls’ Club 3, 4, Pres. 4; Glee Club 1-4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Declamation, winner of county contest 1, 3; Oration 4; B. B. 1-4; Tennis Club 2, 3; Operetta 3, 4; May Fete 1; Junior Play. Helen is always bubbling over either with a plan for the Girls’ Club, or with enthusiasm for somebody she “just loves’’, or with some secret she won’t tell. She has won two gold medals for Georgetown and is still working for her Alma Mater’s honor. 1926 Page Tiventy-two

MABLE M. ELLIOTT. “Shorty” Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Purple and White 3; May Fete 1, 2. Mable comes from the west and her interest extends even as far west as Catlin. She always has a pleasant smile or you might even spell it g-r-i-n. CLARK D. EMORY Latin Club 1, 2; Football 1. 2; Junior Play; Com’l Club 3; Lumo Ruido 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4; Extempore 3, 4. Clark has been one of the willing workers of the class and will stick to a skillet until the last hot dog is dead. He is fond of public speaking and is thinking seriously of becoming a lawyer. However he is a bit sentimental and has been known to write poetry. GLADYS MAYBELLE EMORY Bird and Flower Club 2; Latin Club 1, 2, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; B. B. 1-4; May Fete 1, 2, 3; Chrmn Class Soc. Comm. 1-4; Junior play; Tennis Club 3; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Maybelle always has a pleasant smile and jnaybe that’s why she has so much trouble with her dates. Her chief interest this year has been doing startling things to her hair. MILLARD HARMON Purple and White, Editor, 3; Swastika, Editor, 4; Tennis Club 2, 3; Latin Club 1, 2; Com’l Club 3, 4 (Pres. 4); Operetta 3, 4; Bird and Flower 2; Junior plays; Oration 4. Millard has been our dramatics comedian and editor until we’ve come to depend on him Beside taking part in all the plays and quarreling with Helen Holaday, he’s been on the honor roll every month of his high school course and generally at the head. 1926 Page Twenty-one

 Class PropKec)) STATION G. T. H. S. broadcasting its annual alumni program from Georgetown Township High School, June 1, 1936. The first number on our remarkable program will be a favorite selection, rendered by Mile. Baum who is now starring in grand opera at Kellyville, Illinois. She will give us, “You Gotta See Your Mammy Every Night.” Mile. Baum is accompanied by the Honorable Guy Lewis, on the animated dishpan in a minor scale. Guy has, of late, finished his contracts with the New York Symphony Orchestra. We now have the pleasure of announcing that we just received an encore and an appreciation call from Mr. and Mrs. Mavin Maloy who are now residing in Buffalo, New Hampshire, where Mavin is teaching sewing and home economics in high school. Our next number, which I know every one will appreciate, will be given by Miss Helen Youmans who has just returned from New Guinea where she has been teaching expression to the natives. Her reading will be on the “love making generation.” Thanks for the claps—we haven’t time to bother about the encore. We have just received a letter from Miss Helen Holaday who is wintering in gay Paree. In the spring she tells us she is going to join a society of nuns to whom she will incidentally teach the Charleston. We shall now be favored by a polka, given by Madame Pierott, formerly Miss Mary Louise Rees. It is only within the last year that this latest miracle, that of transferring pictures by radio, has come to pass and we are glad to favor our audience with this number. Immediately after graduation, Mary joined the South African Follies and persuaded Leo to go too, but he got tired trying to keep tab on Mary and after three months he returned, a physical wreck. After this disaster, Mary joined the Follies in France. The number on our program to be given next is presented by a mixed quartet, Russell Barr playing the lute, Ora Belle Duke the xylophone, Louis Clift the Jew’s harp, and Guy Lewis his dishpan. They have travelled all through Grape Creek County and have made one great hit. It is recorded by the federal authorities that this famous company was given the honor of killing the wild cat near Fairmount. Folks, we have now tuned in on England where a court case is in procedure. The defendant’s lawyer is Clark Emory and the prosecuting lawyer, Phillip Burgoyne. Clark is defending Miss Clark who was brought 1926 Page Twenty-three
