CATHERINE PICHNARCIK The reason that we have not seen Catherine Pichnarcik around school a great deal is that she has had other more important affairs to at- tend to. Her efforts find a reward in the fact that all thc girls in her classes have been envious of her many pretty sweaters. ANTHONY BARCAVICH Here is another who goes by the name of 'iTony. You see his smilef-Well, he always has it. On the football field, when he picks himself up from the bottom of the pile he's smiling. When someone puts his foot in the way on the basketball floor and Tony takes a nose dive, he comes up smiling. However, his smile didn't keep him from playing-ask anyone he ever took outugthat is in a football frame. For an all- round athlete you can't find any better than Tony.

Lilliarfs curly blond hair and large brown eyes have been the envy of many girls less fortunately endowed. Her charms have evidently been appre- ciated by her boy friends also for she is hardly ever without a thrilling tale of an experience at a dance or party. ADA POOLEY There isn't a girl at school who wouldrft give almost anything to own hair like Ada Pooley's. lt's useless, though, because she has a monopoly. Polly has been termed a baby vamp. We are not passing this accusation on, you under- stand, but we confess that we would most cheer- fully submit if she would like to practice on us. Besides being actively interested in practically every activity at high school, Ada has neverthe- less maintained a very higzh scholastic standing. We certainly must hand it to her.

BESSIE WOLLSCHLAGER Bessie is another of our commercialities. She is always hustling to do something. She hasn't taken an active part in many of our activities but she is nevertheless a thoroughly likeable, good-natured girl. Sigma Tau Society. GLADYS GRITZ I am sure many of us would starve to death if it vveren't for the faithful ticket seller in AB, Gladys Gritz. Miss Gritz is a commercialite and at one time was public stenographer for M. H. S, l am sure she has never disturbed anybody by her noise. Chorus: Debate Society: Senior Soccer Teamg Sigma Tau. CLAIRE ECKER Claire is a sweet, retiring girl. She has pur- sued her course faithfully and we will expect her to shine in the future. By the way, she is quite an Amazon. How about those fist fights with Veronica in Mr. French's English Class? Sigma Tau Society: Senior Soccer Team. GERTHUDE BIRDSEY No, she hasn't disturbed us by her noise, but we've been very glad to have her with us, per- haps because she was quiet. Those who know her best say that Gertrude is a steady, reliable girl. She has a pair of very pretty brown eyes and-well, to tell the truth, we can't find any- thing faulty about her so it's probably time to stop.

RUTH HALL Clever, popular and pretty-- -that is Ruth Hall. She wrote the class poem, starred in the Props and Paints play and!-well, for further informa- tion consult the list of activities named below. She is certainly one of the best known members of the class. For hair she has sunbeams. Her heart beats fast at the approach of a boy and she seems almost as fond of them as they are of her.

G. A.: Student Coun- cil iljg Chorus, Debate Society. CHARLES BREWER Sheik Brewer always was a lovable chap and we don't see any reason for calling him hard boiled. Furthermore you can't convict Charles of having brought flowers to his teacher -so there. Charles always looked forward to his turn as D. L. as did the rest of his History Class and he never happened to be sick when that day came around. MARTHA B. SERVICE Doesn't the tilt of her head give you a hint of royalty? Certainly. you agree. Well, Martha is rather fond of Earls particularly one not far to the south of us. She is a very lively girl, and loves dances and parties.

GABRIEL Ruth Gabriel, a General Student or student in general, has pursued her High School Career, very quietly, except that she is always around when anyone is doing Latin. Did you know that Ruth was in the 1923 Minstrel Show? She in- tends to be a nurse. Her quietness and her Latin will surely help her. Chorus: Minstrels: Debate Society, Senior Soc- cer Team.
