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!

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.

1925 THE OIL CAN 19 WINIFRED NEELY Winnie Winkle. Basketball-Letter 2, 3, 4. Captain 4. One of those who graduated at the mid year. We think that S. H. Mail was sadly reduced when Winnie left her Alma Mater. She was another one of the conquering sextette, known as the captain of the girls' basketball team. ANNA BROWN NOBLE Brownie. When it comes to studies, Anna “Strikes at the stars with her exalted forehead.” You'd think that the grade tree grew only A’s to see her report card. This is a fact—In the future if you happen to see “Madam Browninski, Violin,” you must know that she is Anna. EMMA PALMER Here’s one who will get to the tip of the top, and we certainly wish her success. Will we ever forget her wail of Oh! my Gussie,” in the Dramatic Club Play? WILLIAM PARKER Billie. What more familiar sight can there be than Billie and Johnnie and their respective cars? In the opinion of the class of '25 Billie’s car has the right to precede Johnnie’s, because of its greater age and venerability. Therefore, clear the way for Billie, big boy of our class! FRANK PETERS Toora-loo! Here's Frank. He looks like a married man, but he says he ins’t. Just the same, he probably will be before long.
