THE JACK O' LANTERN INEZ J'0HNSON--- d V Inez is a blue-eyed blond, Of her type everyone is fond, ' She'd'win the beauty prize up here, And be Miss Houtzdale on the Pier. DOROTHY PlIDGEON-- ' Dorothy Pidgeon is veryybright, my i When she says Yes you know its right, She'll be great some day, I've no doubt, Wait a few years and you'll find out. MARCELLA CHAPl..IN- Marcella should join the movie ranks, And do some of Char1ie's comic-pranks, As long as she has the Chaplin name, She may as well profit by the same. DAVID HlLLER-- David Hiller, short and fat, Is very bright, but no acrobat, He ought to work off' his fat doing stunts Instead of yawning and groaning grunts GRETCHEN HILLER-- Where is Gretchen's long dark braid? She's' no flapper I'm afraid, But a flapper's beauty soon will fade, -Give me the good old fashioned maid. MARGARET SHERKEL-- Margaret is quite, demure and shy, No one knows the reason why, She's just a silent little dame, But attracts attention just the same. I HELEN DlCKEY--- -g Helen has a sense of wit, Humor you'd call it but that won't lit, It has to be a word that's tricky To explain this funny Helen Dickey. LORRAINE HAl.L- l I Let me tell you each and all, In case you cannot here recall, Of a girl I know who is slim and tall, Her eyes and mouth are not too small, And she's as pretty as a French Doll, V Is thisgenchanting Lorraine Hall. -29.- .w I ,g V , . 1.fy1ii ',V: , I. 2 , 1' '1l f-fi! - tg. .Y 42- 'F 'inn'-:it ,ki Q Y - n -eq-

pr' as so f f . THE JACK 0' LANTERN g p g A some man but he wasn't worth his salt so she had ditched him and was working for herself. She also told us that Julia Hughes always a man hater had sympathized with her and so had become her partner. Julia was out for lunch at the time. After Julia arrived and we were discussing our old classmates and the good times we had all enjoyed in Houtzdale High Julia told us that Rose Marie Hagan and Mary Maxwell had become successful school teachers in the state of Washington. We talked for hours and at last we left very reluctantly. Our next stop happened to be in the state of Idaho. Here we head a lot of talk about Thomas Quinn trying out a new invention. From the general description of his appearance and character we knew it to be no other than our former classmate, Cherry had always been interested in the hydraulic portion of physics and had made an invention for bring- ing, water out of the ground without either digging drilling or driving 'adgd This invention ought to prove a great success and wells will pro- bably be sunk all over the dry lands and as a natural result the wide areas of sage brush will take on the aspect of the proverbial rose gardens. .Finally we reached California and proceeded to Hollywood. Being tired out from our journey we went to a theatre. On the programs we noticed that Carl Sherkel was Manager. Knowing him to be from our section of the country, we went to visit him, but instead of Carl answer- ing the door bell, Lorraine Hall our former classmate stepped forth and was just as surprised as we were. ,She told us that she was the wife of Carl and they were very happy also that-they liked California im mensely. They had moved th ere shortly after their marriage. Shortly after we left Hollywood we met with a serious accident, wrecking our Ford so completely that we were compelled to find some other means of transportation back home. Being badly shaken up from our accident we decided to go home by aeroplane, thereby arriving home much quicker, but nevertheless we were glad we had taken the trip because we had met all of our former classmates. ' ' VELMA AND ELEANOR LOBB H. H.. S. EARL ROBERTSON- Earl is such a little lad, - I think he'll never grow, He's always mischievous, always bad, But can knock the big boys for a row. ROSE MARIE HAGAN-- She hadlit oniwhen ever I met'er, Rose Marie always wore a blue sweater, I wonder what she's done with it, I guess by now it doesn't tit. ..-28,-. at .wx
