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: ,

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..

THE JACK O' LANTERN P VIQLET WILLIAMS: Secretary of the Athletic Association 141, Year. A - Secretary of Class 111,121, 131, 141, Years. Attempt the end and never stand in doubtg 'Nothing so hard but search Will find it out. Here is another girl that finds joy in doing thoroughly, the tasks assigned! We hardly know how Violet finds time to at- tend all the classes, she takes so many sub- jects. as lf it were not for the fact that 'Violet could stand on top of the hill-per- haps this means Brisbin hill-and get in- spiration from gazing at the valley lying at her feet, her heavy course would be a severe drag. But the joy of accomplishment must Hll her, for she is hardly ever in a grouchy mood. VVe hope she may be permitted to choose her own seat at Dickinson. AMELIA VINCENT Offices helfl none If aught obsti uct thy cours yet stand l not still. But Wind about tll thou hast topped the hill t ' ing room. Milly's ambition is to be a school teach er and We feel sure she will be 1 ciedit to this profession. ...14...
