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.

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!

20 THE OIL CAN 1925 EARL MOHNKERN Once more, true to tradition, Mohnkern appears in the class list. Think of a man of industry and thrift who cherishes fond hopes for the future and you have thought of Earl. MABEL MONKS Way back in the dark days of our Junior English classes Mabel used to always come with her lesson prepared—no matter if she studied it on the way to class. How she ever managed to do it, we don’t know—but we do know this, that she is one of our own classmates—nuf sed. TWILA MONTGOMERY We were going to say a little something about Twila’s beau, but since she has so ardently entreated us not to. we comply with her wishes and simply impart the news that she has one! MARY MORELAND Mary is one of those sweet quiet persons that you know yet don't get well acquainted with. Those who do know her will tell you that it is your loss. FLORENCE MORGAN Florence likes pickles! We wonder if she is in love. We’re surprised, because Florence looks lots more sensible than that. But probably she says What’s that to you?” Andjgoes on liking them.
