As you all know gentleness is one' of 'the ele- ments of gratness and Inez is mighty in her owii quiet-way. ,Her judg- ments are sound, her opinions valued and she is fa friend cf' all. i'We do not mean to say that Inez is ,back- ward but rather that ,sheg-is reser- ved. Shespeaks onlywhen she has something to say and then it is worth your whilesto listen in. We are sure that much happiness in life shouldfcome to one in whom so many virtues are combined. .GRETCHEN HILLER Gretchen is dependable, faithful, and jolly. Who played for us so faithfully and efficienty for Chapel and for entertainments? Who boost- ed the Literary Society and helped make it the success that it is? Who was always ready to lend a help- ing hand, whenever school activi- ies needed it? By these rehetorical questions we mean to suggest the desirable attributes of our Gretchen With her bright, optimistic view of life and her talent we predict that in the future, Gretchen will win a Laurel Wreath given only to the worthy. MARCELLA CHAPLIN I Marcella should be termed Mar- cella the Conscientiousf' What- ever she sets out to do she finishes, come what will. Marcella is a great booster and whenever she is lead- ing an activity it is sure to move on to completion. And with all this she is always ready for a jolly good time. Marcella is a good student and has a real gift of written ex- pression. From the foregoing it would seem that Marcella is fitted for several vocations and we rest as- sured that she will succed in what- ever she chooses to do. I -20.- - . -4, , l A ,ji A c' - 1

And in the short time she was here-endeared herself to all of us by her sniling disposition and gentle manners. Ste is aiming to be a teacher and with her splen- did ability and pleasing personality we are sure Dame Fortune will sm- ile on ther. FRANCES OWENS - Frances reminds us of this epi- graznmatic saying, for sT'e spent her first year of High School life with us foylccl off to Woodward for the next two years, and now is back Wit' us again. And we were very glad to welcome her back, for she has the studious and social quali- ties tearmake her a very agreeable member of any class. She has tal:- en an active part in all our literary :and clrarratic activities, neue to 'Aer own and our credit. Frances ex- presses a desire to bec'o'ne a rronarch in a schoolroom and we wish her all success in her chosen line of lwork. Qs DAVID HILLER I This manly young lad was not handicapped by size, but in spite of his ponderosity, he is one of the most capable, dependable, and po- popular of Houtzdale High's loyal sons David is not certain, yet, whether he will be an engineer or a West Point Cadet, but whichever he decides he wll be,L-he wll be.--and that successfully, for that is char- acteristic of him. Dependablty and scholarshipiare splendid equipments for a life of service, and David has these 'and uses them. Good luck, David! 19o ' T' HY f 6 .i

THE JACK O LANTERN . DOROTHY PIDGEON Dorthy is one of those fortunate individuals who can sail through classes on grades of 99 or more. If she is not talking Latin or French, she is composing original free verse of an idealistic concep- tion far above the heads of ustor- dinary mortals, or she is enthusi- astically doing the Charleston. She is an unusual mixture of the perfect student and the lively, care- free school-girl. If we do not hear fromher in the future as a great poetess or teacher we shall be greatly disappointed. She always re- minds us of the 'quotation And still the wonder grew, that one small head could carry all she knew. HELEN DICKEY One of the most versatile and tem peramental members of the class is Helen. One minute she is rendering side-splitting monologs, f the next she is writing Triple Tragedies that make your smoothest hair stand on end, and again she is fur- nishing the Jnecessary impetus to keep the class from going to sleep. Did' we say that she got the best grades in class? Well perhaps not, but she did manage to get through, didn't she? We cannot contemplate what school would have been with- out Helen to keep things moving. JULIA HUGHES Julia and Helen might be com- pared to thc' Siamese Twins. They are.so inseparable that they can- not be parted even for a class period. Julia's chief characteristic seems to be a desire to impart her thoughts and feelings to Helen. A very genial little girl is J ulia, with a ready laugh for all the humor that occurs. May her smiles con- tinue as brilliant and happy all through her life. -21 .1 .- . . wi ,. ,aililffii-MH ,gr-'1, s1.,gH,' 'f
