1925 THE OIL CAN 17 WILLIAM DORWORT Bill. Always laughing, joking or smiling is Bill. Even a broken ankle and a pair of crutches failed to take the smile away last fall. However Bill chose to take the A. A. A’s seriously rather than a joke as some of us did. WILHELMINA DORWORTH Billie. Trophy Committee Ring Committee Basketball-Letter 3, 4. Manager 4 Give her some work to do and Wilhelmina is otherwise engaged but mention some devilment and Billie is in the seventh heaven. EARL DOLBY Well, well, whom have we here? None other than a would-be fire chief. Not inclined to be noisy Earl makes his presence felt, and he sure has a future. GERTRUDE DUFFEE Another one of the only ones.’ .It’s too bad that Reid had to catch cold while sitting on her porch swing in the summer. It doesn’t speak well of Gertrude. But never mind, we think we know how you feel about it. so just as long as you behave yourself and don’t fall in love it will be all right. NEVA DUNMIRE Let us introduce you to the Bookkeeping shark of the class. What Neva doesn’t know about that phase of study isn’t worth talking about. We don’t know much about her outside of school, but in school she is a loyal classmate, and a hard worker.

16 THE OIL CAN 1925 HENRIETTA GILLILAND Henri. Basketball-Letter 4 May Festival Committee Gay. graceful, good-looking, and brainy, are the words that fit Henri. The boys must think so, too. judging from the mail she gets via Study Hall’s R. F. D. She sometimes gets fussed in English class, but she always comes out on top, and rides the waves with a glad heart. ELEANOR GLENN Maud. We think we must name Maud the talkative one of our class, for whenever we hear a big commotion in the halls, and get ready to fly before Ranee's rage, someone calms our fears by saying. It’s Maud. But never fear, Eleanor, you’ll never have any matrimonial troubles. BERTHA GOODEMOTE Here’s a little Miss who is so small she is seldom seen and so quiet that she speaks only when spoken too. She is a good student and of the type that do not bother the teachers, thence a great credit to the school. GLADYS GOODMAN Goodie. Basketball-Letter 3. 4 Athletic Editor Oil Can Color Committee After all isn't it the Athletic Girl” that nine-tenths of us prefer. Gladys is one from A to “Z.” Her name may be Good MAN but nevertheless she is a good GIRL and a good scholar. ANNA GOURLEY Ann. Art Editor Oil Can Senior Play Those that know Ann will agree that she is an earnest worker. To Ann is due great credit for the success of the Art in the Oil Can. Art isn't her only interest for she is quiet deeply interested in Bob!

18 THE OIL CAN 1925 GEORGE FLINCHBAUGH One of our boys who does not say much and yet gets a good laugh out of life. We think Fate has passed him by with fewer hard knocks than those she hands us, but if she does he bucks up and gets another girl. Be an optimist, George! MEREDITH FOSTER Meredy. Art Editor Oil Can Words might have failed the little boy as he flunked his spelling exam but they seldom fail Foster for he always has a ready supply. He handles them big and small alike. Moreover he surely does flourish a nifty drawing pen. ROBERT FRY Bob. Football 2, 3, 4 Basketball 2, 3. 4 Senior Play All hail to “Bobbie,” Oil City’s brilliant man about town. This tall imitation of a student is some bearcat on the polished hardwood and in view of the fact, he has the distinction of being the leader of Oil City, Rouseville, and Reno’s smart set. REGINALD GADDESS Reggie. Junior Picnic Committee Football I. 2, 3, 4. Track Manager 4 Ladies and Gentlemen, the class of 1923 take great pleasure in introducing “Reggie ”, the greatest all-round bun-duster in the U. S. A. Let us add: What a space he’d fill in the football team! FLORENCE GEORGE Toss. She belongs to a bunch of sidekicks, who will insist on keeping her in. But she sometimes eludes them, and then has a good time with Howard, who is nothing loath. No one could ever pass her up. That’s the spirit, Toss!
