'l'lil'l JACK U' l,.XN'l'liliX CLARK COULD : Treasurer of Athletic Association C45 Year. Varsity Basketball 433, 141, Year. Laughter and pleasure, long were they mine. Do we hear a rattle and a bang? Clark has arrived from Brisbin in the Franklin. Clark has many sides to his na- ture. At one time he is the hard and con- sistent iighter on the Basketball Team. .At another time he is winning the hearts of the Philipsburg Maidens. He surely has the methods that win in both instances. With his willingness to try anything once, and his droll humor, he is a Welcome mem- ber of any group. MARGARET POLLOCK: Offices held none. A plodding -diligence brings us soon- er to our ends than a fluttering way of ad- vancing by start, -L. Estrange. Margaret is the Little Girl of our class, but when the time for recitation comes she discards the Little Gorl, and becomes the Student. Study, study and then some. This expresses Margaret, but with it all she displays a sunny disposition, and a capacity for quiet fun that makes her a valued friend and a pleasant class- mate. l EDIVIUND POLLOCK: Manager of the Boys Basketball Team 143, Year. I strove With none for none was worth my strife. In the class room he is quiet and stud- ious. Ned as he is called, has contribut- ed his services whole heartedly to the school as manager of Basketball. He is always willing and ready to give a helping hand.

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.

THE JACK 0' LANTlLl1N RUTH WILLIAMS: Treasurer of the Literary Society C4J, Year. Where there is sport and activity, there is her heart also. One thing Ruthie is permitted to do and that is Root! And if some of the others could root as she can, in proportion to' size, what a cheering squad Houtzdale High Would have! No she is not all noise by any means. Whei'ever a helping hand is ,needed in any activity, Ruth is sure to be found. She is a good student also, although she does not believe in burdening herself with all the electives offered. We doubt Whether she would have grieved much if Cicero had committed suicide before his manuscripts had been completed. Her classmates expect her to make her presence felt at Dickinson Seminary and their good wishes attend her. ELLIS, HOFFMAN: Secretary of the Literary Society C45 Year. Class Treasurer CU, QZJ, 135, 141, Year. Song Leader 143, Year. Cheer Leader 425, Year. Varsity Basketball 133, Year. Student Monitor 143, Year. I would both sing thy praise and praise thy singing. Ellis is an ever cheerful and busy mein- ber of the Senior Class. Judging from accounts of her outside studies she Will be an excellent secretary or ofiice Worker. Judging from other reports she may be looking to a different future. Ellis has the faculty of being late but that is because she leads a very busy life. She has the ability to argue Without being disagreeable, and tah is a fine art. Combining that with her other qualities, she is a jolly, good natured and lovable friend to all. -12..
