it 55.25 HAROLD WAYNE WEISS TINY 43 HUNT AVENUE Our treasurer has been known through all his high school career as the tallest boy in H. H. S. But being tall has its consolation. Chief can see over the heads of a crowd and over the heads of his associates to pick out a pretty girl from another school. Furthermore, at Washington, he received special recognition from the President on account of his towering presence. He might have become unbearably proud if he had not been overshadowed by the Wonder of nine feet five. However, we all accede in voting Weiss a valued member of the class. JAMES GARFIELD WELLER jllVI1VIY 496 PLEASANT AVENUE It would be very hard indeed to go to Hamburg High School without colliding with this modern Ulysses, who carries the world on his shoulder. It seems to be Jimmy who is always so busy that he has no time for the common tribe. How- ever, he associates with one person, his Taylor. No matter when, where or how you see him, ask him what he is doing. His reply is he has an appointment with his Taylor. But nevertheless we need this Hpeppy lad to push the Senior class ahead.

MARY ELIZABETH SMITH CRESCENT AVENUE Oh, What a Pal Was lVlary!-this fits her Well. She's a pal to everyone. Her big brown eyes and ready smile greet you in the study hall, in the class room-everywhere. lVlary, without a doubt, is the daintiest dancer in the class. If you happen to think of it when you see her, just ask her about Cuba. She has gained great renown as an actress. She certainly was a big factor in putting the Senior plays across with success. EDVVARD LOUIS SPIESZ CHICK 308 LONG AVENUE Edward Spiesz, better known as Chick, ls a Senior, good-looking and slick, He belongs to a Frat, is an athletic Hcombatf' IA dancer of grace and ease: Edward is one of the Collar Ads of our class. He is not only famous in Hamburg, but his name also appears in the movies as Spiesz, from the Hamburg Water Front. When Eddie goes calling on Ruthie, it is usually necessary for her to play lt's Three O'cloclc in the lVlorning before he leaves. EVELYN GERTRUDE TOOLEY EV 9I PLEASANT AVENUE Within the past four years of high school life, Evelyn has gained wide fame and popularity in the literary field. As editor-in-chief of The Quar- terly Moon, she has upheld the honor of the Purple and White in an especially praiseworthy manner. lVliss Fawn No-Fraid is her stage name, and, when not busy with her dramatical, literary and scholastic duties she can be found gathering souvenirs of the wonders of our beautiful country. Fawn, notwithstanding the limitation of arma- mentl' doctrine and the appeal of a life as a south- ern senator's -daughter, is the girl who is always thinking of others, being especially helpful to those in her own profession, Hunt-ing. THEODORE ALBERT VIEHE MIN 72 MAIN STREET Theodore or Min, as he is known to his class- mates, carries a number of honors with austere composure. First, he is President of the Class of '22, He is a Wireless Ham of note in the town and extracts messages as painlessly from the atmosphere as Doc Eastman extracts the troublesome molar. Besides being a progressing printer and business man, Min is quite an actor and a ladies' man. This original Andy Gump will certainly ac- complish what he seeks in life.

Thy beauty is to me nigh maddening,- For thee there are no words in any tongue. A fairer village man could never findg A bluer sky can surely not exist. In after years though far from thee I roam, Fond reminiscent thoughts will flood my mind: Then hast'ning back to thee, l'll keep the tryst And in my heart I'll ever call thee--home. as be A4 as 65 Dear edifice of knowledge, 'tis to thee, The Alma lVlater of my youthful days, l now address a verse of love and praise. How oft when young l've cried out to be free From some set stint that irksome was to meg And, like the songbird 'prisoned in its cage, Restriction loathed. The wisdom of the sage Meant naught, till now, with fuller years, l see That learning is indeed a gift from God Which once possessed, no thief can take away. The bay is crossed, the ocean lies before. I'lI bow in future to Lifeis ruling rod And strive to learn his lessons day by day-- l've now but reached the threshold of his door. 64 is 56 as as 23
