THE JACK O' LANTFltN CATHERINE HUGHES: Manager of Girls Basketball Team 133, Year. Be silent and safeg silence never be- trays you. Catherine is one of the quiet members of our class, but when a dispute arises she maintains her views even to the point of argument, and her ideas are generally founded upon common sense. She takes an active interest in the duties assigned lfer, and does her best to fulfill them faith- fully. She has all the qualifications of an eflifficient teacher, and as it is Whispered that is to be her future vocation We Wish ltcr success in her chosen work. CLOYD BROBERG Otlices held none. Smile and the NVorld smiles with you. The smiling face of this lad from Ramey soon Won a place for itself in the hearts of his classmates of one year's stand- ing. If Cloyd had been with us all the time we fear that we would not have space enough to describe all his activities for he is a popular, and an active chap. 'We do not see, however, why his Overland should serve as a Sophomore taxi, while Senior girls vvalk to school. Cloyd is a good musican and so we feel sure that he can endure the monotony of an engineer's life. ...1 5M

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.

THE JACK Oi LANTERN iei roiur fl ,a X 5. 5' ,L,w,i-...,.... One evening, while tuning the crystal on my radio set to see how the weather was in Mars, I suddenly caught station H. H. S., which was just introducing their Freshman class of 1921-22. I thought my ears were deceiving me when I heard Mr. L. C. Smith being introduced as the Supervising Principal, with Mr. V. . Silliman acting as his assistant of the said station. After recovering from my shock, I soon learned that the Freshman Class consisted of twenty members. The next to be introduced was the class president - Ruth Gladden. The class went along smoothly until it lost one of its members - Isabell Galvin, who preferred the career of a nurse to that of a High School pupil. The next was the broadcasting of the events that happened during the Sophmore year of 1922-23. What! I I! Could it be possible? Ruth Benovitz had left school, to embark on the sea of matrimony with Fred Oldham. That wasn't the only surprise, Ruth Gladden, our famous class president, was moving to New Brighton. Our class seem- ed to be diminishing instead of increasing. ' The next announcement was that Lillian Erickson had taken up the profession of typist in Williamsport. What next was going to happen? VVere more going to stop school? Of course I wasn't deceived, another had dropped out. Paul Gordon also dropped out preferring the profession of a salesman rather to that of a good school boy. But I was not to hear of losses alone, a strange name is being mentioned, - Margaret Pollock, a very quiet little girl from Hastings came to fill one of the places. I then heard a class meeting being called to elect a class president in Ruth Gladden's place. The meeting was over and Giles Bonner was to hold the office. Again there came a buzz thru the phone and the next news that startled me was - The Sophmores fthe class that was considered so slowl had sold tags and added one hundred and thirty dollars to the Athletic Association's fund. Hurrah for the Sophmores! Hark! VVhat was that? Many things were happening. The new school was built. What a relief that was to me. For I knew con- ditions that existed in the old building. Other improvements came - Another person was added to the faculty of the H. H. S. As a conse- quence of which the class of '25 is happy to claim friendship with Mrs. J. W. Wisner. --15..
