SIDNEY HOOKINS (Sid) Senior Play. Sidney has the required characteristics of a good orchestra leader: pep. persistence and personality. We expect to see him leading the New York Symphony in the future. Grave apprehensions arose in our minds that we might lose Sid at mid-term, but miracles do happen, don’t they Sid? ARDELLE HORNER Basket Ball 3-4; Varsity 3-4; Captain 3; Jr. Prom Committee; Jr. Play; Sr. Play; Jr. Play Committee. Basket Ball and chewing gum are Ardelle's specialities. She is just a happy-go-lucky, carefree girl, the envy of many of her more serious-minded sisters. Nothing daunts her, not even the teachers. t—x—t—t NEVIN HOY (Nev) Senior Class Basket Ball. “Speech is great, but silence is greater.” The Y. M. C. A. man. Nev was a terror on the basket ball floor. Gangway fellows! Here comes Nev dribbling down the floor. t—t—t—t ARLEIGH HUFF (Charlie) ✓ President Hi-Y 4; Jr. Dance Committee; Jr. Prom Committee; Sr. Play Committee; Sr. Play; Jr. Play; Football 3-4; Varsity 3-4; Baseball Mgr; Ring and Pin Committee; Class Basket Ball; Annual Committee. • Here we have A. Huff, the one and only member of the Bachelor’s Club. If any one ever found Arlcigh at loss for an answer, it was because he didn’t hear the question. Arleigh was a valuable member of the football squad and a very popular member of the Senior Class. t—t—t—t RUTH IRWIN Sr. Play Committee; Sr. Play; Basket Ball 3; Class Basket Ball; Athletic Editor of Oil Can. From the beginning of her High School course Ruth has unselfishly devoted her time to others. Yet with her many duties she is always ready to have a good time. Ruth says she’s tired of basket ball, but we think she has something else on her mind.

©iikicm P vw wym ESTHER HERRON Esther has always been the quiet type of girl of which there are a very few. Unless you seek her out you will never learn what a keen intellect she has and how much knowledge she possesses. t-t-t-x MARION HINKSON Banquet Committee. (Hinkey) Such a charming disposition, such an attractive personality, is it any wonder we all love her? We don't think that Marion will spend the rest of her life with the Bachelorettcs. H-M MARION HOLBROOK (Ducky) Jr. Play; Jr. Play Committee; Jr. Picnic Committee; Captain Sr. Girls Basketball Ducky with her “I’ll put a tin ear on you,’’ et cetra. has realized the joy of High School life and has made a lot of friends. Ducky i — he local R. F. D. statiojj in th 5tudy Hall. x-t—x-x ARTHUR HOLT (Art) Art is mistaken sometimes by under-classmen for a member of the faculty because of his dignified and portly bearing. From what we know of Art in P. D. class we think that he will become one of Oil City’s influential politicians (hand shaker and cigar passer). x-x-x-x HARVEY HOMER Everything comes to him who waits. But you must hustle while you wait. Harvey chose the afternoon session for some reason, wonder why? Maybe someone else can account for sleepy look. 26

JANET JOBSON Jr. Dance Committee; Jr. Picnic Committee; Sr. Play; Vice-President French Club 3; President French Club 4; Secretary Library Club 4. They gazed and gazed and still their wonder grew, that one so small could carry all she knew. We can assure you that the future holds a brilliant career for Janet, especially if the victim is a certain handsome young man. t-t-t-x FRANK JOHNSON Frank is another quiet lad. who spends his evenings —we know not where. Perhaps another person could tell us. Anyhow Frank is one fellow in the class who minds his own business. Secretary of Sr. Glee Club; Pepita; Sr. Play; Picnic Committee. Rouge! We wonder what brand she uses. Many brave lads have spent countless hours in grave suppositions. That far-away look and dreamy smile seem to indicate that her heart is somewhere else and perhaps it is. Who can tell? DOROTHY KANE Junior Play; Senior Play. There is an exception to every rule, but L)orothy is not the exception to “good things come in small packages.“ She combines work with pleasure and works faithfully for the advancement of good old ’23. V .. t-t-t-t HORACE KELLY Lindbergh the second—Genius itself could not condense a really representative sketch of this young man; we doubt if the English language would prove equal to the task. Anyway, we know that he has a good education.
