CAN MARGARET COPLEY If Margaret doesn't have any other kind of wealth she certainly has a wealth of hair and to us that makes up for everything else. Even though Margaret is quiet she is popular with the whole class. CATHERINE COURTNEY Kate is a sister of Mart’s. The only fault wc have found in Kate is that she seems to have a hard time getting to school on time: but is she late for her dates. Now we ask you?” MARTIN COURTNEY Remember the OLD Fords that Mart had. and they ran too. Not only down hill but up hill (Sometimes). One had to be a Master Mechanic to run them and Mart was qualified for the position. Mart’s ready smile won him many close friends. ALMEDA CRAWE Forward and frolic, glee was there. The will to do. the soul to dare. Small—Yes. Witty and mischievous. Almeda has often sent a class into a hilarious uproar. Nevertheless, she is a conscientious student. We think. $ $ $ $ MARGARET CROSS ' (Marge) Senior Dance Committee; Junior Play Committee; Senior Play; Basketball Varsity 3, 4. Don't judge this fair damsel by her name, but whenever you hear a lot of noise, look around—you are sure to find Marge. Besides being a staunch rooter on the side lines, she is our star forward on the girls Basketball Team.

 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.

DOROTHY CUNNINGHAM (Dash) Here is the Golden Haired Milkmaid who hails from the Big City known as Pinoak. Penna. She is known by her pleasant smile and her Green Ford which is always getting her into trouble with the Traffic Cops. EVA DAVIS General Committee; Junior Prom Committee; Junior Dance Committee; Junior Picnic Committee; Senior Dance Committee; Ring and Pin Committee; Senior Play; Basketball 3, Manager 3. Davis is one of the best examples of perpetual motion in the High School. If you have seen her when she wasn’t busy you have experienced a rare sight. In Eva’s Junior year she was a star guard but she received an injury which kept her from playing the last season. We are sure that the team missed her services. t CLARENCE DECHANT For some inexplicable reason Clarence chose the afternoon session. Perhaps through the channels of sleep, he wishes to keep manly beauty or on the other hand he may become one of Oil City's prominent business men. Success has already visited Clarence, he is a retired clothier. JAMES DORWART (Jim) Football Varsity 3, 4; Captain 4; Senior Basketball Team; Advertising Committee. Behold our Football Captain minus the head gear. Jim gets his name RED due to the brilliant color of his hair. Maybe this accounts for his fighting spirit which was so noticeable on the gridiron. HELEN LOUISE DORWORTH Basketball Varsity 3. She is a Whizz in all her subjects but one—Deportment. How many times she goes to the waste paper basket with her gum is nobodies business. Nevertheless, broken arms in football season are her hobby.
