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.

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.

 3 HARRIET CHESTER Much wisdom goes with few words. Miss Mackenzie found that out in Virgil Class. We can vouch for these few words in school but not outside. We have no doubt but that Harriet is going to be manager of a big restaurant some day— or else chef. t MILDRED COHEN ‘‘Let a smile be your umbrella is Mildred's motto. Through the dim halls or class rooms. Mildred's smile radiates as a beacon light penetrates darkness. Her radiation not only applies to her smile but to her studies. All in all she is a steady, dependable and cheerful student ERNESTINE COLLINS We don't know much about Ernestine outside of school, but in school we all think her a good sport. Besides this we’ll all agree she plays a mean Cornet in the High School Orchestra. HELEN COLLINS Helen's favorite hobby is arguing with the teachers and quite frequently she is right. Here’s proof that the instructors of learning aren’t always right and we're glad to leave that little building with some proof of it. If Helen sticks up for her rights in the future well— ELLA COOK Lo and behold. From that great and distant metropolis known to all of us as Petroleum Center there blossomed forth the Queen of Oildom, FJIa Cook. Our curiosity has often been aroused when ELlla would boldly walk out of class leaving us to continue the art of concentration. Don’t worry fellows— she had to catch a train.
