1925 THE OIL CAN 29 THOMAS McGREEVY Jake. How they came to nickname him Jake” is a puzzle to us, for Tom is a little bit Irish—or should we say a big bit? Tom is one of our business students and we think that his ambition is to own a stationary store. LOUISE McMANN Louise comes to school in the forenoon, but after lunch she dons a white cap and dress to administer first aid to the injured, and also to keep Alice company. CECELIA MACKENZIE Ken. Junior Prom. Committee Senior Play Committee Senior Play Ken is one of a money making gang alias the Prom. Committee But that is as far as business goes with her unless you call Flapping a business, for Ken is a typical Flapper.” JOHN MAITLAND Suds. Ring Committee Stamp! Stamp! What was that? Only Jonnie coming in the Study Hall. Evidently thinks he’s taking a course in brick laying. That’s all right John, don’t pay any attention to what the literary editors say about you. HELEN MARTIN “Miss Martin” and Ranee’s voice resounded through the Study Hall. Then we knew that Helen had been up to some more mischief. Which always was, and probably always will be her favorite pastime.

28 THE OIL CAN 1925 PHYLLIS KIFER Billy. Phyllis is one of our quiet girls who re exceptionally clever in classes. We could say lots of nice and cute things about her. but we advise all curious persons to make her acquaintance. CYRIL KING Cy. Football 3. 4. Letter 4. Track-Letter 3, 4. Captain 4. Here's “Cy” another of the Kings. King of what? Sports, probably. Cy is a small but furious whirlwind on the gridiron, and fast on the cinder path, and a mighty good sport in school: so here’s to Cy King of Sports. FRANCES HOLLABAUGH “Oh! she will sing the savageness out of a bear.” Sure enough, Frances can sing. Not only that, but she can act, as has been shown in the Dramatic Club Plays. EFFIE HUFF This little tot gets marks all out of proportion to her size. She is one of the few persons who comes to school for an education. Has the rare quality of always being sincere. ROY HUGHES Pin. We don’t know “Roy” but we do know “Pin” who is here, there, and everywhere with the goods.

30 THE OIL CAN 1925 JOHN STEUART Gaze upon the woman-hater of our class! The first of the term John took upon himself to ignore the ladies, but the ladies refused to ignore him, so consequently he could nor keep his wager. CATHERINE SUNDERLAND Katie. What hard times Katie has had to get people to spell her name with an “A” in it. Katie is engaged every night, but don’t take it so seriously, boys, you can get a look-in quite as well as that curly-headed blond. GLENN TARR Jess. Basketball 3, 4. Varsity 4. Football 4. “I am monarch of all I survey.”—and that's a lot, for we could back Jess against anyone as the tallest fellow in the class. GLENN TAYLOR Speaking of generous grins—you can always find one on Glenn’s face. But that does not mean that he cannot frown on occasion, because there are some who tremble when his black look comes their way. But he can learn his lesson—ask Mr. T ownsend. THOMAS THOMAS Tommy. Senior Play May Festival Committee How he does fall for the rustle of a skirt! Really, now, we could almost safely say that Thomas’ love affairs rival those of Henry VIII.
