Houtzdale High School - Jack O Lantern Yearbook (Houtzdale, PA)

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

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

Some sentiment such as this is pro bably Rose Marie's philosophy of life for who will not bear witness to the fact that she is always merry? Her carefree atttude has not desert- ed her in all the crises that she has faced, individually and with her class, and so she has justly been an ever popular member of the 1926 group. We are sure that she will go on Smiling through all the trials that future years may bring her and thus get out of life all the happiness that we wish her. FRED HYDER Fred came to us for his fourth year, after having graduated from Woodward High School. In the year that he has been with us he hasshown us real fellowship and co-operation. Fred was always will- ing to do his bit in whatever field he could find a place. And who shall say, that he was not successful in the role of . Dusty Dudds? However we are glad that in real life he did not retain the character- istics of the individual he portrayed in the play. MAUDE MATHEWS R We know very little about Maude yet, because she did not join our class until this year, and so far she has managed to keep out of most of our arguments. Butwe all know this, Maude is 'a conscientious student and a faithful supporter of all out- side activities. We understand that her loyal rootng for our basket ball team brought her into several civic conflicts in her native town, in which she did credit to the cause of Houtzdale High. .Good girl, Maude! We appreciate your short presence in our midst and we hope you will continue to boost us. 22.- Nw if . . .f
