CHARLES ADAMS (Chuck) Senior Basketball; Secretary of Hi-Y; Baseball 3-4. Chuck is not as short as his name, but instead he toners above us. Sky-scrappers g° up and up. story by story. It's the same with Chuck, except, however, the limit has been reached (we hope). Therefore, he is the Daddy-Long-Legs of our Class. WILLIAM AEBERSOLD Property Committee. Bill certainly knows his groceries. We expect to see Bill some day the owner of a new set of Chain Stores called the Black and Blue Front. Cowboy Bill, he won for himself this title by holding to the road that big blue broncho of his. Boy. wait ‘till we’re riding in aeroplanes. RUTH ALLEBACH Small in stature, but huge in mind. She is one of our stars in the business course. Somebody is going to get a good stenog. Ruth is of a very talkative nature, in fact she is talking all the time. RAYMOND ASEL (Ray) General Committee; We see so regretably little of Ray because he seems to skim by so blithely. If he would only stop a minute, we would like to hear him speak. A terror to the general public and the teachers too. Ray’s always there when it comes to making racket, some call him big noise.’’ Zowie. who threw that eraser? tttt JOHN ASHTON (Percival) Ticket Committee; Property Committee The conqueror of Caesar, Cicero and Virgil. There is always an exception to every rule and John is the exception to this one. He hails from Rouseville and is endowed with brains. However, we can never forget his ‘‘Cheese-Box on wheels.” 15

OFFICERS of THE CLASS of 1929 ROBERT WILLIAMS (Bob) BENJAMIN McFATE (Ben) President of Senior Class; President of Hi-Y; Junior Play Committee; Junior Play; Senior Play; Business Manager of Oil Can; All Committees. Bob. we think, is the best President that ever left O.C.H.S. He went into his office, heart and soul and so he came out. 11 seems as though Bob was always doing something for ’29 betterment, and perhaps this accounts for his always being in a hustle. Likeable, dependable. capable and a dandy good fellow, and we might add that he believes in helping out our underclass mates. We wonder why? MERCEDES HUFF (Tommy) Vice-President, 3-4; Junior Prom Committee; Literary Editor of Oil Can; Chairman Color Committee Senior Play; President of French Club 4. When it comes to “gentlemen prefer blondes perhaps you'll think this the reason for this popular young lady's holding her office for both Junior and Senior years. Maybe so. but who could have done it in a better way? Tommy has been a shining light in most every activity and proved herself capable of taking the lead. Then too. again we find the Juniors breaking into the ranks of out officers. Editor-in-Chief of Oil Can; Class Treasurer 4; Football 4; Senior Play; Junior Play Committee; Oil Can Committee; Senior Basketball; Junior Basketball; Chairman Junior Prom Committee; Auditing Committee 3-4. If you want anything done, have Ben do it and you can be certain that it will be thoroughly and well done. He can fix your automobile, do your dishes, wire your house, do your lessons and even edit the Oil Can. ‘Member the Prom? Ben was the leader, and he s the boy who handles the coin. And then, he s a leader at the other dances.—“I say. thar. —ask Betty. t t HELEN JENKINS (Jiggs) Class Secretary 3-4; Oil Can Historian; Senior Play. Helen is another of our most popular girls who has had the honor of holding her office for two years. We would like to say that Helen is the nicest girl we have but there are some other girls and another fellow whom we are afraid (?) of. Helen is going to be someone's secretary and we don’t think anyone could handle the position better. Helen must be congratulated for the way she has handled her position. We think she can handle Ed. just as well. Time will tell.

■trMJSi: ELIZABETH AUSEL We never see much of Elizabeth, but we hear someone else monopolizes her time, so that explains it. Silence reigned and they all got wet. This seems to apply to Elizabeth. Cf course wc don t mean that she is all wet but we never hear a squeek out of her in History. £ RONALD BANKSON (Ron) Ron is the guy that makes the harmonious discords in the School Orchestra. As a grocery boy Ron would make a good football player. How Ron gets to school on time from Rouse-ville in that car he drives is a mystery to all of us. ESTHER BARBER Esther is another one of the many blondes in our class. Her only weakness is for a Big City fellow, mostly those from Cochranton. We also hear that Esther likes these long-winded athletes. Well, we don't blame her as long as we're one of them. EVELYN BARTLETT Ticket Committee: Color Committee; Junior Prom Committee; Junior Play; Senior Play; Another Blonde! Oh. how wc are endowed with these pretty blondes. Evelyn hails from Siverly. but one wouldn't know it when one secs her drive by in a beautiful big green car. Urn. Two things that are attractive. JULIA BERTOK Believe it or not. Julia is someone's pet. Miss Cribbs found that out! If you see a Buick tearing down Glenview Avenue, don’t worry for Julia’s probably in it. Maybe she s small but she’s stuck with us for four years and now she is prepared to be dean of Women at the U. of Siverly.
