HELEN BETTS Another Miss from the great Metropolis up the creek, who thought it wise to finish her education with the best class ever in O. C. H. S. Now. she leaves with the rest of us. but she says she can't be parted from Dot. t LENA BISKER A nice little girl with quiet little ways. But this doesn’t refer to the way Lena tears through the halls to get to her classes on time. We would hate to think that the studies were the attraction. $ t £ ROBERT BITTENBENDER (Bob) We don’t believe that we have ever seen Bob worry about anything. Not even about those oral topics for Miss Love that she likes so well. So do the rest of us. they usually take up the whole period. We have wondered if any woman could out-do Bob talking. Time will tell. tit DOROTHY BOWERS (Dot) We never see Dot with anyone particular in the day time, but we re not so sure that she is lonesome in the dark and dreary evenings. She isn’t sure what she will be when school is out and the teachers aren’t worrying much; someone has to and that means that we are to bear the burden. MYRA BRAKEMAN Class Prophet of Oil Can. When it comes to selling tickets Myra’s right there, and she can sure saw a mean fiddle. Myra’s going to sell reducing gum in the future and ’’the world will be thin.” She’s one of the few people in the world that can put away her troubles in her kit bag and smile.

■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.

RUTH BRITTON Basketball 3; Manager 4; Ticket Committee; Junior Prom Committee; Junior Picnic Committee; Senior Dance Committee; Athletic Editor of Oil Can; Senior Play. Ruth is one of the Class of 29’s main stand-bys. Ruth always holds down a front seat ready to give a helping hand. As we gaze on the future we often wonder who, from the many real friends that Ruth has among her class mates, will be getting the advice. Always a leader except in dances and then it's—um. we wonder. ttu MARY CALLAHAN Girls Basketball Team; Varsity 3-4; Captain 3-4; Junior Play Committee. Mary is one of the team of Callahan and Cross, the inseparables. This sure is some team, and they dont seem to give the boys a tumble. Well, we still have hopes. Mary is one of the all round girl athletes: this has been readily shown by the way she piloted the famous Girls Basketball Team through two successive seasons. EDNA CAUVEL (Cobbles) Edna is another one of our class with a boyish bob. Edna is fond of dancing and when there is a dance she can often be found around. When she was asked what she liked best, she said Boys.” KENNETH CAWLEY (Ken) Ken is the Shiek of Siverly and some day will probably be the Shiek of Oil City. Possibly, he will have to wait until Harry Howe leaves. Ken has a steady and we are sure from the appearances of things that he will hate to leave her behind when he leaves in June. t HOMER CHAPEL (Homey) Junior Prom Committee; Junior Dance Committee; Football 25-26-27; Senior Basketball Team; Senior Track Team, Senior Picnic Committee. Homer is doing his bit in this world by building up the bodies of the boys at the Y. When he isn’t at the Y , look for him at a red-headed girl’s house on Bissell Avenue. Homey is one of the best-natured fellows we know and we think he is a friend to everyone in town. He’s a real sport and we all like him around.
