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..

'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. Recently Ned has shown a parti- cular afiinity for the Sophomore room. Why is it Ned ? .A11..

HIE JACK O' LANTERN BERT WEBB: Varsity Basketball 125, 135,145, Years. Baseball 125, 135, 145, Years. And when a lady's in the case, you know all other things give place. You could hardly expect anyone to xviite Bert's biography and refrain from kidding him for the trick he played on us last year. But what of it? He's happy, she's happyg and We're all happy to have Bert back with us to finish the course. -Al- though I am sure that many of the girls would have preferred him back Without any matrimonial entanglements. For he is not only good-looking. He is handsome! And better yet with him being hand- some is doing handsomely, for hs is a star athlete and a sincere, steady, and res- ponsible student. Our best Wishes will al- ways be with him. FINLEY SAUPP Chairman of the Home Room Organi- zation 145, Year. Captain of the Basketball Team 145, Year. Scrub Basketball 125, 135, Years. f'Lots of Snap in this young chap. Maybe some think the Biographer made-a mistake in his quotation-that an apt one to accompany Finley's toilworn features would be- Born tired and never lost his birthright. But nay, gentle read- er! You should have seen Finley hustle to get this book outg and when it came to up- holding our honor on the basketball floor, he did more with one leg than many others did with two. We Would have Won at Hollidaysburg but the referee A-hated to see him suffer, and therefore Wouldn't watch the game. Finley has lots of grit and snap too, and if a business career be his goal, We know he'll hang on till hels on top ofthe heap. H-13: ,
