THE JACK 0' HANTIERN W hearted interest the effects of his classmates to put on a drive, whether for membership in the Athletic Association, or for subscriptions for the School Paper. He is in the fight. His school's interests are his own. He respects the right and privileges of his classmates. He is alive. He is vital He accomplishes what he sets out to do. Do you have this Pep ? If not, why not? H. H. S. ' HOW ABOUT IT? Is the spirit of H. H. S. what it has been in years gone by? Is the cooperation of the student body equal to that of the other schools of which we hear such glowing reports? We have been taught from the time we entered the H. H. S. that we should forget self in doing our little bit for the school. We may say that the only fellow that can show his loyalty is the one who makes the varsity basket ball team or plays base ball or perhaps runs for the school in a track meet. However this is not so.

Tllld JACK U' LAN'l'LltN MARY K. ADELSBERGER: Secretary of Home Room Organiza- tion 145, Year. Treasurer of Girls Basketball Club 135, Year. Those who know her know her smile and find the knowing quite worth while. Did you ever see Mary K. without a smile? Did you ever know her to be real- ly angry? The answer is no. Although Mary never warmed her teachers' heart by excessive scholarship, her oven, sunny dis- position and capacity for suggesting good times has endeared her to us all. Given a mixture of good-looks, good nature, and style, you are sure to have popularity, and Mary K. possesses all the requirements. HOWARD JONES: Captain of Baseball Team 145, Year. This young man was quiet and self- contained-too old for his years by far. It is said that, Still waters run deep. If so, Howard is guilty of infathomablc depths. Pap, as he is called, comes from Brisbin. Although he may seem quiet and reserved to those who do not know him, yet he has won the admiration of all dur- ing the year he has been with us. FRANCIS RODGERS: - - President of Literary Society 14.5, Year. Baseball 145, Year. Francis has an infinite capacity for fun and frolicf' He is often the author of many funny happenings in class, but he is always so quiet that he is not known to have done anything. As to his serious at- titudes, he has been an efficient President of the Literary Society for the past year, and has shown a real interest in helping tr make it the success it 'hasi'been. This mix- ture of fun.-and ability, we are sure will make for success. NA10-..
