Lincoln Junior High School ROBERT HOLDEN Commander—Senior Class WILLARD ZIEGLER Parser—Senior Class History of The Class of 1933 As we took off on September in our Freshman year, 1929, we decided to take in all the activities of our fellow Sophomores. Juniors, and Seniors. Therefore we had little time for our own activities. As the year rolled by, we were busy witnessing the events of the upper classes. Our only activity was in 1930 when we stopped off at South for our Sophomore dance with Merle Keyes furnishing the discords. As we proceeded on our flight, we chose with much precaution the following officers to pilot us through a successful Junior year full of various activities: HAROLD LILLY............................ -................ Commander KATHERINE BORLAND_____________________________- ... Lieutenant Commander MARION K LOCK............................................... Penner WILLIAM STANLEY________________________________________________ Purser Miss McAtee and Miss Eddy were elected our honored faculty advisors. The next step was to elect a dance committee composed of Katherine Borland, Anna Perry, Eleanor Balph, Albert Santpsell, and William Stanley. On December 26, at our first Junior Hop at South, we danced under our class colors, the green and white to the haunting music of The Collegiate Ramblers. Then too, we should mention Mr. Mitchell who so successfully directed the operetta, The Belles of Beaujolais, in which many of our Juniors participated. The Boys’ Glee Club also under his direction succeeded in winning the State contest. As our funds were low we decided to stage a dance on April Fools’ Day with Bob Brown furnishing the music, in order to get enough money to give the Seniors their biggest treat at the Junior Prom.. Sis Tucker and A1 Sampsell were elected representatives to the Oil Can. This being the last event of the year, our Prom committee consisting of Robert Holden, Katherine Borland, Mary Mar Boyle, Robert Sharp, Leo Chacona. Marion Klock, Harold Lilly, and Albert Lyford decked out our ship in the good old class colors green and white. The Dance was held June 15, and everyone certainly enjoyed Kay Kyser as everyone stayed until the last dog was hung. We wound up our last Junior voyage by grabbing our bathing suits and eats to hop off to Canadotha Lake for our Junior and Senior picnic. Sailing along on the last lap of our flight, we entered our Senior year by electing our class officers: ROBERT HOLDEN.......................................... -...Commander ELIZABETH TUCKER _________________________________ ..lieutenant Commander KATHLEEN WEISER.....................................................Penner VYI I.LAR D ZIEGLER.................... - -....- -................ Purser ELIZABETH TUCKER Lieutenant Commander—Senior Class KATHLEEN WEISER Penner—Senior Class History of The Class of 1933 We elected Mr. Townsend and Mr. Coleman as advisors to aid us on our flight. The play committee composed of Charles Dale, Bea Holden, William Dun Lany, Lois Mess, Mary Jackson, Helen Tyndall, and Lawrence Eirster, selected the comedy, ‘‘It Happened In Hollywood.” Those who took part were Charles Dale, Paul Zaccaria, William Dun Lany, Harold Lilly, Eleanor Balph, Dorothy Long, Myra Cohn, Robert Holden, Martha Jane Tussey, Janet Sibble, Mary Jackson, and Norman Glass. Business manager was Robert Holden and assistant was Harold Lilly. Harry Nelson was advertising manager and his assistant was Dan Dundas. illiam Walker was electrician. John Leedom was stage manager; Hugh Martin was assistant stage manager; Katherine Borland was property manager. Harry Nelson, Albert Lyford, Eleanor Balph, Marion Klock and Gail DePew, made up the dance committee who selected Walter Mills and his Orchestra for our Christmas Dance, which proved to be a great success. Our Student Council in which each class was represented did a great deal for the betterment of our school. HAROLD LILLY....................................................President RICHARD STOUDT............................................... Vice President MARTHA BERRY______________________________________ .Secretary and Treasurer As our trip was nearing its end, it was time to think of our Oil Can and so the following committee was selected; Dorothy English. William Dun Lany, Clayton Bouquin, William Culbertson, Harold Lilly, Anna Marie Pearson, Elizabeth Moore. Ralph Johnston, Betty McAlevv. We also selected our Ring and Pin committee: Robert Sharp, John Gourley, Helen Tyndall. William Stanley, Ruth Smith, and Phyllis Shriver. Our musical talent was once again brought forth in the operetta ‘‘Riding Down The Sky” under the direction of Mr. Mitchell. We spent a great deal of our trip participating in the various clubs: Glee Club, French Club. Latin Club, Debating Club. Library Club, Girl Reserves and Hi-Y. We should be proud of ourselves also in athletics, winning many games. Our graduating lettermen are: Football—Chacona, Dale, Gourley, Ryan. Sampsell, Ziegler, Under- wood, Sharp, Stanley, Manager; Honorary Football—Firster, Culbertson, Sebring; Basketball—Lilly, Holden, Rvan, Chacona; Baseball—Wiltanger, Zaccaria, Manager; Cheer Leaders— Nelson, Hoffman. The following committees were chosen: Picnic—Beatrice Holden, Pearl Thompson, Wm. Ryan, Robert Stanton, Herbert Hollingsworth; Banquet—Mildred Loomis, Grace Smith. Harold Lilly, John Leedom, Chalmer Mitcham. We regret that we cannot relate the results of the May Dance, for the class History was completed before that time. LOREN KAHLE Died May 24, 1931 ♦ The faithful, energetic and conscienteous manner in which he discharged his duties as a teacher, was an inspiration to his fellow-teachers and to the students who came under his instruction. We dedicate this page to the memory of Mr. Kahle, with the hope that the knowledge of the esteem in which he was held and the appreciation of his upright and exemplary life may prove worthy of emulation. SENIORS « « d3cra------------------- ROBERT HOLDEN Bobbie” Varsity Basketball 3; Junior Picnic Committee; C hair man Junior Prom; President of Senior ('lass; vll Senior Committees; Business Manager Senior Play; Senior I lav; Advertising Staff of Oil Can; Student Council 4. Hob has certainly made a fine president to bring us through our Senior year. He is a great leader and well liked by every member of our class. He has made us prosper by his helpful suggestions and his pleasant manner. Leaving all business behind, he has another important interest named Bobby. o ELIZABETH TUCKER “Sis” Vice-President 4; Secretary Debating Club 4; Treasurer of Latin Club 3; Junior Play Committee; Humor Committee of Oil Can; Junior Reoresentative of Oil ('an; Library Club; French Club; Inter-City Debate.

KATHLEEN WEISER “Kate” Student Council 2; Secretary Commercial Club 3; Secretary Senior Class; Junior Nominating Committee; Literary Staff of Oil Can. Kate hails from the bloody South Side. Smart, athletic, a good sport, and lots of fun in other words just a many sided gal. Ask Frank. Anyway he seems to find diversified heaven in Kate.

OR IE ANDERSON “Dave” Orchest ra Glee Club. Hi-Y. This girl is the fastest talker in our class—but she always has something to say -That is why she is on the honor roll. Although Orie has not been out of school on account of lovesickness, we tliink that some day he will be giving Fritz Kreisler pointers on pullin' horsehair over E, A, D, G. In other words, a fid Her—not a Romeo. k r ADELAIDE ALBAUGH “Addle” Senior Hi-News Staff; Vocal Solo 1st Place 2; President Office Club 3; Lead Bells of Beaujolais 2; Glee Club Board 4; Riding Down The Sky 4. Adelaide was always sure of one of the leading feminine parts in all the ojierettas. She doesn’t spend all her time singing, for she was one of the typists for the school paper, and we see her and Dick together quite often. FRED ANDRES Baker Banking. 3. Problems of Democracy Club. 3. Our class would surely be at a loss if we didn’t have likeable Fred. Does Fred like to discuss Foreign matters— well that's your question—you answer it. MILDRED ANDERSON “Mil Commercial Club.

French Club. 4. Glee Club. 4. Woe be the one who picks a quarrel with this fair young maiden for we hear from indirect sources that she has a terrible temper. We hope she loses it when she passes from the sordid walls of Senior. HELEN APPLEBY Glee Club. Library Club. Helen was one of the passengers in that large sedan that came to school every morning, filled to capacity with knowledge-seekers. Even though 1 ielen appears to be a quiet girl, she has plenty of pep and does a lot of talking. ELEANOR BALPH Junior Dance Committee; Senior Dance Committee; Dramatic Play; Senior Play; Senior High News Staff 2-.t; Oil Can Staff; Glee Club; Debating Club; Secretary Library Club; Treasurer Girl Reserves; French Club. In Eleanor we have the rare combination of beauty and brains. Her name is prominent in the minds of all who had the opportunity of witnessing the excellent talent displayed by her in the Senior Play. After all is said and done, “Dode” continues to reign supreme. CHARLES BARBER “Kid Gloves” I he foundation of all the boisterous outbursts in here about this old chap. However, this Siverly fellow has quite a volume of good facts when ne has a chance to spill them. KENNETH BECHTEL “Ken” Football. P. D. Club. Hi-Y Club. Hi-Y Club Girl Reserve Play. When you hear the footsteps approaching on horseback you know it’s our smiling Ken from Siverly. His happy-go-lucky way appeals with us all and we will miss him very much when he gallops away. MILDRED BECHTEL Micky” Mildred is one of the shorter members of our class. But heighth has no effect upon disposition for although Mildred is short she has won a host of friends by her congenial and willing spirit. OPAL BECK “Oppie” P. D. Club. World's Friendship Circle. Opal is one of our more quiet girls, but she is also one of our shining lights. What an easy life the teachers would have if all their pupils were like Opal! RUTH BEIGHTOL “Mo” World Friendship Circle; Glee Club; Latin Club; Library Club; Secretarial Club. Ruth is one of Miss Cribbs’ shining lights but like the proverbial light, she’s always out. An artist too. Quite an accomplished girl—but aren't they all? RUTH BELL “Boots” We don’t know how she manages it but it’s a cinch she sure can act shy and bashful in class. A winning smile and sweet personality make her a true friend outside of the class room. TWILA BENDER “Toots” Glee Club. Secretarial Club. Twila Bender: Here we have one of the many Senior High Brunettes. Now we are not positive, but Twila seems to be quite t he little lady, Very conservative but always congenial. GUS BENSON “Swede” One of the West End Bensons, who is rather hard to figure out, but who has made so many friends with his quiet and unassuming manners. Future luck is in store if he still maintains girl shyness PAUL BETZ Butz Orchestra 3-4; French Club 3-4; Debate Club 3-4; Dramatic Clubt3; Oil Can Staff; Home Room Secretary! Hi-Y. There's no doui jkk that Paul is the best mannereilybov in school. Keep it up Paul and we’re sure that von’II be successful. MAYNARD BISH “Lefty” French Club. Maynard spends half his time being bashful and the other half studying that’s his way to get along in this world. - X f uJSr RUTH BISKER Nute” Debating Club. Dramatic Club. A girl blessed with the tendency to get ahead, and withal a good sport Room 27 has her to thank for the good times they had eighth periods when she supplied them with candy. ROBERT BLACKFORD “Bob” Glee Club. Operetta 3-4. Bob Blackford—a regular cave man dancer! Watch out, girls! Me seems to think he has a case of shyness and consoles himself with the famous “Blatz” remedy—and then he sho’ gets his women! FRANCES JANE BOLE “Red” Library Club 3-4; Latin Club; Parlimen-tary Law Club: French Club. One of those ‘‘Titian Beauties” envied by all she-males and coveted by all he-males.

Secy. 4: French Club 3-4; Dramatic (Mub I Library 4; Debating Club 4; Senior High News 4; (Literary Staff). Pinoak is lucky to have such a smiling Miss as a resident. Joan is full of fun and always has good grades. She is a great help to Myra on the newspaper. We can't help but suspect that Joan has a l oy friend with her good looks and we hear his name is Myron.

Who doesn’t know Caddie and her giggle? What she’s giggling at we don’t know. Caddie has made plenty of friends during her school years. She’s great fun, likeable, and one swell girl who likes Dan very much. CLAYTON BOUQUIN “Bok” Glee Club. Riding Down The Sky. Oil Can Committee. This tall, silent lad is one of the ring leaders of the “Great Brotherhood of the R. 1). R. When ('lay is driving his big Buick the girl’s hearts go pitter-patter. ANTONINA I5RUKO The 1933W surely must be a favorite of ji nie’sJor she waited for us. One of the miaiiy things that strikes out eyes tJipuiih is the snappv clothes. Ah—the viannikin of Oil City. JOSEPHINE BUDZINSKI “Joe” Secretarial Club. Josephine certainly keeps her hair curled. That’s O. K., we’re sure Josephine will curl around the road to success after she leaves school. “Dick” “Pink” RICHARD BUNNELL Hi-Y 1-2-3-4. Home Room Secretary 2-3-4. Always-in-a-hurry Dick. That’s a good name for him. Dick may be a Secretary but we think he would be a better druggist. ERNEST BUTRIN “Boots” P. I). Club Operetta “Martha” Glee Club Ernie’s favorite pastime is arguing with Miss Ledya. although we know that his main ambition is to some day manage an A. P. + t WILLIAM CAFFERY Here is Lefty Grove of our class. He not only hurls a mean base ball, but he a very active member of our group. More power to you, Bill. W Wv • VIRGINIA CALDWELL “Gennie” Dramatic Club 3. I-atin Club 3. Glee Club. Virginia is one of the students who has a thirst for knowledge for she has to get uf) every morning to come to school from Plumer, and she seldom misses a day. She always has her hair done up so pretty that we are a little suspicious as to a gentleman friend. • y ■ JOHN CARMANY “Iggy” French Club. Orchestra. Just one of the reasons why the “guiding stars” alias “profs” don’t throw up their hands and quit. But when John starts on his “sousaphone” watch out! ALICE CARROLL Some would say Alice was extremely shy but not those who know her. She’s just a small lassie but then the most explosive things come in small packages. LEO CHACONA “Leo” Football t-2-3-4; Varsity 2-3-4 Co-Capt. 4; Basketball t-2-3-4; Varsity 1-2-3-4; President Room 29-14-15; Vice President Student Council; Commercial Club; Junior Prom Committee; Glee Club 2; Track. Leo’s probably the laziest in school. He says that he doesn’t like to swim because it just means getting undressed and dressed again. Aside from that he’s always wisecracking. We wish you good luck, Leo. FLORENCE ELIZABETH CLEAVER “Flo” Orchestra 3-4. l-'lorence is another of our smiling students from Hasson Heights. She has a special hobby which is playing her violin. She has been in the school orchestra for four or five years so maybe she will play in a large theatre some day. Who knows? ERNEST COFFMAN “Hop” Hop has certainly studied hard to be with our graduating class, and needs to be congratulated. Hop is either found studying school work or handling a cue. MYRA COHN Chonxy Inter-City Debating Team 3-4; Oil Can Staff; Senior High News 3-4; Student Council Nominating Committee; Debating Club; Senior Play; Library Club; County Debate. Myra is our great debater. She could induce you to buy burnt matches. This lass has a twinkle in her eyes ami a smile that makes the lads’ hearts go pitter-pat. JOHN COLLINS Senior Orchestra 1-2-3-4. Senior Chorus 3-4. John has played in the orchestra for a number of years. I le has become quite an artist and we know we’ll hear more about him in the future. LE ROY COUSINS “Doll” Orchestra 2-3-4; Glee Club; P. D. Club; Class Basketball; Home Room President 38 This tall good looking lad was once the president of the Detention Club, but lately he has become quite sedate maybe Helen has something to do with it. i HAROLD CRAWFORD “Red” French Club. That tall red-head you see standing on the corner by the school every noon is known by everyone.

Bill is the guy who makes all the girls’ hearts go pitter-pat. He has lots of friends of both sexes. He has good looks” is a swell dancer, and is a jolly good fellow. RONALD CUM MING Ronald surely should belong to the “black shirts.” He wotdd be a big hit with the girls if he would only give them a chance. KATHRYN CUMMINS “Kay” Bells of Beaujolais Library Club. . Glee Club. Kate.is the steady “prima donna” of senior. They predict a great future in sculpture for her. for surely you’ve seen her “chiseling” around. Y FRANCIS CURRAN “Frankie” Boys Glee Club 1-2-3-4. Chorus of Pepita. Chorus Of Bells of Beaujolais. What a voice—oh!!! Just that “knock ’em, drag ’em out kind.” that the women surely fall for. But why mention the voice. It’s Frank himself that has made us all take not ice. Library Club. Mary is that cute girl in Room 21 who has smiling eyes off-set by a dimple. We believe she is shy and prefers to avoid the limelight but those who know her say Mary is just “great.” VINCENT CUNNINGHAM “Zufcle” Vice President of Room l Here is a fellow who is easy to get along with. He is industrious, an honor student, and has a great liking for “Mother Nature.” Some day he will be a great sportsman. CHARLESDALE Varsity Football 1-2-3; Glee Club 1-2-3; Debating Club 3; Junior Play 3; Senior Play 4; Hi-Y Club 2-3; Senior High News; Newspaper Rco. in Student Council; Middie Maids; Pepita; Bells of Beaujolais. Chuck is one jolly good fellow. He has shown outstanding dramatic ability and is known for his pleasant disposition. Here’s one who has caused many a feminine heart to flutter. ELLEN DALE “Shorty” Glee Club. Another one of those “Hot-Cha damsels from Rouseville. Long engagements seems to be in. See “Miles” for further information. MARY JANE DAVIES “Squirt” Senior Orchestra 3 years. Senior Girls Glee Club. Civics Club. Who’s that sweet little so and so bustling in and out of school? Yes, its Mary, always on deck when there is a chance to have some fun. But fun isn’t the only reason why that twinkle always exists in her eye, the cause of that can be traced to (� . M. ARTHUR DAWSON “Art” Treasurer of Senior Hi-Y It’s hard to understand just what Art is for. He’s an all around good sport and very studious. Some day he will meet our expectations and do something super. WILLIAM DE LUCIA “Kaiser” Glee Club. Problem of Democracy Club. Ah! Who’s the little man with the big grin? It’s a pleasing way to keep pushing forward, Kaiser, so keep the friendly manner going strong -and then too-—you can’t let that good family reputation fall. JOHN DEPEW “Johnny” Glee Club 2-4. John is a fine fellow who doesn’t make much noise around school. We notice him talking to girls a great deal but we don’t know of any special loved one. DORIS DEWOODY “Pudge” Glee Club 1 -2-3-4; Glee Club Board; Glee Club Dance Committee; Belles of Beaujo-lais; Orchestra; Dramatic Club 3; Library Club; Be Square Club. Here’s a girl with personality. Just ask Paul and he will tell you that. Doris is an active member in Glee Club and besides this she plays clarinet in our orchestra. RUTH DILLEMUTH “Trudy” Glee Club; Dramatic Play; Latin Club; Library Club; Operetta Belles of Beau-jolfrit. Another quiet and subdued young lady. We don't hear much of Ruth but her winning smile has won her many friends. She is most often seen with V irginia but we also suspect there is someone else to take Dick’s place. MARY DOLBY lie Jean 11 Everybody’s “Sweedie Tjean I lar-low’s sole rival. Mary has a variety of pets but Mickey Mouse is the treasured creature. HENRY DOLECKI “Pole 2” l.rijal Banking Club 2. Henry is one of our Western Union boys around here. He’s one of the small mischievous fellows. Don’t be deceived by his benevolent looks. ETHYL DOUGLAS “Ede” Basketball 1. Commercial Club 2. “Because I would live quietly I say nothing. Here is a young lady who is very uncommunicative at first but when you get acquainted with her, Ethyl is a very friendly person. MARIAN DOUGLAS Glee Club I-2-3-4. Secretarial Club 2. Girl Reserves. P. D. Club. Marian is planning to become a nurse.

It is impossible to accurately describe Bill with words. All we can do is deeply admire his striking personality. his ability, and his fine spirit of good fellowship. Watch out there. Miss, Bill is going to be a matinee-idol. . { [ LAVERNE DUN MIRE “Dunny” Laverne has l een endowed with that coveted ability to argue and to win his | oint. With this ability, we wouldn’t wonder hjD will be a lawyer some day. t ROBERT DUNN “Bob” Bob i6 a member of the crew that left us at Mid Term. Bob was sure missed that last half as he entered in many activities during his high school career. DOROTHY ENGLISH “Dot” Glee Club 4; Library Assistant 3-4; Oil Can Nominating Committee; Oil Can Prophecy J’taff; Latin Club 3-4; French Club 3-4; Dramatic Club 4; Debating Club 4; Inter-City Debating Team. Dotty is one of those persons that can have a good time wherever they are. Her favorite pastimes are eating, talking, and dancing especially the latter with a certain gentleman named Bud. Dot is also an able debater. FREDA E. EX LEY “Shorty” Just take a glance at that expression! Freda is always the same sporting one. No matter how hard she’s had to push through life she has that friendly “ole” smile greeting everyone. MARY FI ELY Glee Club. Secretarial Club. Mary’s idea of life is having a good time. She could enliven any dull class with her giggles and jokes. She has “school spirit” and is always willing to. help when asked to do something for the school. LAWRENCE FIRSTER “Larry” Football 3-4; Varsity 4; Senior Orchestra 4; Glee Club; Senior Nominating Committee; Senior Play Committee; Debating Club. Another one of those accomplished heart smashers, musician and athlete combinations. He sure hitches his uagon to a star. But why not patronize local talent? It’s a long, walk home, we hear. HELEN FISCHER “Honey” Latin Club. Glee Club. World Friendship Circle. A real friend and a quiet personality something to treasure in this modern age. Helen has certainly a strong nature and thirst for knowledge as she walks from Rich Hill to school every morning. JOHN FLECKENSTEIN “Sleepy”' Wood-wind Ensemble; Hi-Y Club; Orches-rea; Riding Down The Sky; Glee Club. Our distinguished first ol oeist! When Johnny delivers News-Heralds on the South Side, all the girls come out and talk to him. That’s why he’s always late for dinner. FRED FOX “Foxy’’ MILDRED FOSTER “Midge” Glee Club. French Club. Library Club. One of the many Rouseville maidens so irresistible to males. Mildred has pretty locks and a way that seems to be quite successful in making many others sit up and take notice. DOROTHY FOX “Dot” Commercial Club. Secretarial Club. Dorothy is one of our brilliant commercial students. She studies during school hours, and as a result gets the nineties which we so deeply' envy especially when report cards are due. Fred is one of the small mates of our class, but he sure does give his attention to school work, the day’s he’s there). More power to you, Fred. MARGUERITE GALLOWAY “Peggie” “Maggie” Library Club. Commercial Club. Glee Club. Five feet of smiles and sunshine plus a battling brother, personality, and “it.” Why goon any further? MAXINE GARDINER “Mack” Just ask Maxine if she likes surprise parties -there’s no question about that “yes.” However, we hope. Mack, that you won’t surprise us for we're expecting to hear big things from you after leaving O. C. H. S. GEORGE J. GATES “Professor” Honor Student. Hi-Y 3-4. First Prize—Tuberculosis Contests. Home Room Reporter. George's chief ambitions are to get the highest grades possible and to make use of his knowledge. From what we have observed, he has succeeded in both. A successful future is surely ahead for George. CLARENCE GEGOGEINE “Jiggs” Perhaps Clarence is saving his words for a later date, however, we think that perhaps he naturally has a quiet nature. Nevertheless, we know Clarence to l e a good sport and one who will succeed. MABEL GEGOGEINE “Squeakes” Giro Club. Secretarial Club. Girl Reserves. Mabel is a reserved girl of the type which does much for a school in a silent sort of way. SOPHIE GILL “Scotty” Glee Club. Secretarial Club. Sophie Gill: Well, well, well, we can just see Sophie at home if she is anything like she is at home. First here and then there—just missing detention and bumping into a new “Flame.” WALTER GILLEN “Rocky” President Commercial Club. When it comes to asking foolish questions in classes, Walter is always on hand. We haven’t come to a conclusion as to whether he is seeking knowledge or just trying to take up time. NORMAN GLASS “Norm” Hi-Y Club 3-4; Debate Club 4; Debate Team Alternate 4; Glee Club 3; Latin Club Senior Play; Dramatic Club 4. The recent stock crash didn’t seem to affect Norman’s dignity any. He’s still gliding along with his chin up looking pleasantly serious, But is he a wow with women? Bow wow! PAUL GLASS Student Council 2. Senior Secretarial Club. Secretary Room 19. Paul is the bus driver from the rural district. We surely will miss him and his passenger, although we don’t believe he will because we usually see him riding a nice little curly-haired p;irl on these bright moon-light nights. That’s O. K. Paul but don’t let her lead you astray. Remember—“He who travels fastest, travels alone.” JOHN GOURLEY Student Council 3-4; Football 2-3-4; Varsity 3-4; Basketball 2-3; Senior Basket-bail; Ring and Pin Committee. One of our big football “stars.” who has a habit of falling for a certain blonde, but some how always manages to catch himself in time. John seems to like the country but surely it isn't a farmer’s daughter! BERTHA GREENEBERG “Bert” Glee Club 2-3-4. Parlimentary Law Club. Latin Club 2-3; They say “It” is indefinable, so is Bertha. She is talkative, inquisitive, friendly, happy, eccentric, intelligent, funny, and Jikeable. What other Senior has as many qualities? VIRGIL GRICKS “Lefty” Glee Club 2-3-4. Mixed Quartet 3-4. Virgil is one of the mainstays of the (dee Club. He is very agreeable and is always willing to do a good turn for anyone. CHARLOTTE GRIER “Hon” Glee Club. Don’t rush boys. 'Take your time. There may be a steady. We aren’t sure. In school, C harlotte is so serious that she deceives us as to her real character. We prophesy success for her. If not success then the next best thing, marriage. RUTH HAHN “Rooie” “Chubby” Latin Club. Belles of Beaujolais. Dramatic Club. For two years we have watched Ruth’s romance bloom and wedding bells will be ringing for this little Miss. Best Wishes! CLARIBEL HART “Toots” Parlimentary Law Club. Although Claril el has been with us only a year, we have all become very familiar with her giggles and chuckles. She has concealed a great many of her characteristics from us, but the boys seem to find a few of the interesting ones. MARION IIARTLE “Sally” Glee Club. Commercial Club. Belles of Beaujolais. Marion is one of the few persons who has the ability to listen attentively fluring classes anti to get good marks. We know that a person with such ability as Marion’s will surely succeed. CLARENCE HXSCHEN “Benny” Orchestra 1-2-3-4. Gypsy Rover. You’ve heard the saying “The man who blushes is not quite a brute.” We wonder if this is why Clarence blushes so much. Is it Willibel? VIRGINIA HECKATHORNE “Ginny” Glee Club. Virginia believes that silence is golden, for she said very little in school. She came all the way from Deep Hollow every day to obtain her education so she might have done all her talking before she came down here. CATHERINE HEFFERN “Katie” Civics Club. Commercial Club. Glee Club. How we envy her! Imagine having a car to escort you to school in spite of this so terrible depression. CLARENCE HESS “Burp” Glee Club 2-3-4; Dramatic Club 2-3; Commercial Club 3: Pepita; Belles of Beau-jolais: Riding Down The Sky; Hi-Y Club 2-3-4: Debating Club; Home Room President. We think that Clarence should have a car so he wouldn’t have to walk so far. Clarence is a good sport and he leaves us with our best wishes for his success. HELEN HERDZINSKY “Phil” Library Club. Office Club 3. Helgn is a Sweet girl who is full of fun and whS has very pretty hair, is always irf a big hurrv so we aren’t very fiell acquairfted. She seems quite popular and is often seen with Bernice. CJucc t CHARLES HOFFMAN “Chuck” Cheerleader 2-3-4. French Club. Debating Club. We wonder if this care free young man likes to trout fish? And to hunt, besides all the outside sports. Regardless of the part that he is most interested in sports, he still is amusing company for any intelligent person. BEATRICE HOLDEN “Bea” “Bede” President Library Club; Secretary Room 26; Senior Play Committee; Glee Club; Dramatic Club; Be Square Basketball; Senior Picnic Committee. Bea is the best liked girl in 1933. She has made more friends in her four years of high school than the rest of our class pyt together. HER lERt HOLLINGSWORTH “Herb” (ytee Club 2-3-4; Student Council 3; Secretary Room 19. Belles of Beaujolais; Riding Down The Sky; Senior High News Representative. We wonder why Herb doesn’t mind having his picture taken and why he takes such good pictures—maybe it’s Kate, who knows? We sure will miss Herb struggling in about three seconds before the last bell, but what’s the difference, Herb can make good excuses. ROBERT HOLLINGSWORTH “Bob” We admire Bob for being able to graduate as it was quite an effort for him on account of his long illness last winter. STANLEY HOMAN “Stan” Glee Club 3-4. Stanley’s main interest in school seems to be to find what to do with a French lesson, other than give it up. His sense of humor plus Theodore’s equals “Monkey Business.’’ HAMILTON HOWGARD “Ham” Where’s all the commotion coming from? I f Ham is near, lie’s the answer. Howev er, he does toot a mean sax. and is a main standby of Steck-Evans Orchestra. DOROTHY HUDDLESON “Dotty” Middy Maids 1; Dramatic Club 4; Senior High News 4; Glee Club 1-2-3-4; Library Club 3-4; Commercial Club 3. Dot is one of those rare blues singers—so the “men” say. She hails from the South Side and forms half of the “fearless two” alias, Lynch and Huddleson. She is the “canary” of Senior. PAUL HUGHES “Mystery” JK }' Glee Club. Pfitd is quiet in school, but outside is a different thing. We know he can have a good time when he wants to. JAMES HUTCHINSON “Slim Jim” P. D. Club. Jim is perfectly at home in hay-field or classroom, lie drives a mongrel that resembles a 1900 Chevrolet, but he always gets there just the same. Here’s hoping that Jim will get a new car when “IT” wears out. FRANK C. 11UTCH INSOX”IIu tch ” yjfcv alo. Well look who's here! The old Maestro of laughs, himself. Ed. Wynn has nothing on Crank, but, by the way everything’s rpsy with Kate and the Chevy near. _ DICKEY INGHAM “Lapchick” President Room 38; Glee Club 1-2-3-4; Sophomore Play; Belles of Bcaujolais; Assistant Business Manager of Riding Down The Sky. At last we have them parted. This is probably the only time the majority of | eople will be able to distinguish which is which. Dick will be a great orator and a popular citizen bv all advance notices. Flo’ FLORENCE INGRAM Commercial Club. Florence is quiet and good-natured. She may not always be on time, but she gets there just the same. BETTY JOAN JACKSON Parliamentary Law Club; Library Club; French Club; Glee Club; Operetta. Here’s one girl that claims it is absolutely possible to have your attention divided between two—Well-er! Betty, however, is the holder of peppiness, attractiveness, and—well, what not? MARY JACKSON Newspaper; Vice Chairman Debating Club; Senior Play Committee; Senior Play; Dramatic Club Play Committee; Student Council Nominating Committee. Do you want something done on time and done well? Then call on Mary. Mary’s bright, clever, and best of all she’s fun. Put these qualities to advantage. Mary! DONALD JAMES Don Senior Orchestra. Clarinet Contest. Behold! Another of Mr. Dight’s pals. Don gets along well with everyone and we hope it will be that way throughout his whole life.

VfJJ Can- Nominating Committee; Advertising's® of OiL Can. “Little Swede” a brotWr Of thr “Big Swede” has l een inf ting] his stride lately and it’s hard to keep track of him. Every night it is someone different and the lucky one who lands him will have a real prize. EDNA MAY JONES We are proud to have numbered among our classmates one who has completed her high school course in three years. Resides this achievement Edna is one of our Honor Students. Congratulations! WILLIAM JORDAN “Bill” I-atin Club. Remember when the girls used to flock to the I.atonia? It wasn’t the show, just that good looking usher, Bill himself. And when he quit he got that German hair cut. But how he chases the women and still keeps on the Honor Roll keeps us all guessing. GERTRUDE KAGLE “Gertie” Commercial Club. Gertrude Kagle is a very loving, motherly little girl. She is very quiet and yet always willing to help if ou need her. We wonder if she is like this when the male sex is around. D()y KAPI V Afenior (ircliostra 3-4. J D. Club. Junior Orchestra. Mose' Another of those reasons why so much noise conies from the New Building, the fourth period. Keep blowing your horn, Don, and you'll get there. KENNETH KAPP Ken graduated at midterm. We are lucky to have him in o’ir class for he is such a jolly fellow. He looks as though he just stepped out of a fashion sheet and so Kate thinks he is just right. Ken is going to be a doctor so here is wishing him the best of luck. BERNARD KARG “Barney” Barney never lets the girls bother him and this will probably bring him early success. We know he would like to manage a filling station and are confident he will achieve his aim. | ORDELL KARNS Ordell is a regular passenger in Raul’s bus. I le is in his glory when he can read Springfield Republicans in Miss Cribb’s home room although he doesn’t take R. D. Just the same, we're glad to have you in our group. ARTHUR KAUFMANN “Art” Secretary Room 38. Student Council 3. Art Staff Oil Can. This good looking, curly haired boy seems to have two lines. One--a dislike for the opposite sex and two -a talent for Art. He is very good in the latter. But Art. why don’t you give the girls a break? ELEANOR KAY “Jackie” Commercial Club 3. Glee Club 1-2. Eleanor doesn’t waste any of her time in school for she is always studying. She is seldom heard from except when called on to recite, and I don’t think she was ever pulled out of line for talking. Such an industrious person will surely have a bright future. HELEN KEATING “Hun” Commercial Club. Glee Club. A fair damsel, from up where the “uplots” thicken. She lives near the cemetery but she’s not so dead. No, sir! JUNE KELLOG “Pep” Glee Club. A girl one could depend upon at any time, a booster, and above all things, a good scout. ALICE KING “Al” P. D. Club. Does the proverbial temper go with these red locks? Not from any outward appearance but we're not so sure. ROCELIA KIBBE “Sese” Glee Club. No one can find a more cheerful or carefree girl than Rocelia. It seems as if she is always smiling and ready to talk with anyone concerning anything. We’ve always wondered why Rocelia and Helen are such great friends. Who knows? Perhaps it’s a secret. MARION KLOCK Latin Club 3-4; Debating Club 4; Junior Class Secretary; Glee Club 1-2-3; Junior Prom Committee; Senior Dance Committee. Another of those, oh, so popular girls. Ask the fellows. However, those blonde ringlets cover a lot of brains from all evidences. She is a good sport and a loyal classmate, but beware, girls, when Mamie is around. VERA KNAPPER Vera left us at midterm but as far as we know Bob still visits her. We don’t know what Vera is planning to do—-maybe she will become a housewife. FRED KRATHGE ‘Fritz1 Hi-Y Club. I atin Club 2. Fred is a very ambitious member of that aspiring organization, the Hi-Y. Fred is always well behaved and would be our idea of a model pupil for any teacher’s study hall. HENRIETTA KULLING “Heinie” Glee Club. I-atin Club. Library Club. Henrietta is seldom seen without Mary and Martha. If you see one of them, the others are always some place nearby. Henrietta is always cheerful and is a friend worth having. Ask Mary and Martha if you don’t believe this. JOHN LEEDOM “Upton Mike” Junior Nominating Committee; Stage Manager of Senior Play; Riding Down The Sky; Senior High New; Hi-Y; Senior Banquet Committee; Glee Club. Here we have the lad who falls for the davenports. Don’t take us wrong y-we mean that he has handled them in good style during his two years as stage manager of our plays. HELEN KUHLS Helen has worked hard to graduate with us, and we are surely glad to have her. Maybe it was this hard work that kept her from being talkative in school. EDNA LEISTER I-atin Club. French Club. Home Room Se Who’s that statety jjltfnde? It’s Edna. Her marks in School are to be envied. Edna is a very good driver and bound to get somewhere—she’s got a mean swing with that steering wheel. “Just Harold” DONALD LELANDE “Slicker” Don is one of the best kids in the school. We’re just wondering if his mother is resj onsible for those good manners. Besides being polite, Don is a good student and a willing worker. DOROTHY LEWIS “Dot” Senior Orchestra. Glee Club. Civics Club. Dot always greets you with a smile. She plays a mean saxophone and drives a big car, but still she finds time to study. Happy-go-lucky, that’s Dot. HAROLD LILLY President Junior Class; Chairman Junior Nominating Committee; All Junior Committees; Student Council 3-4; President Student Council; Senior Play; Ass. Bus. Mgr. of Senior Play; Senior Banquet Committee; President Room 32; Oil Can Committee; Basketball 2-3-4; Varsity 4; Athletic Staff of Oil Can.

He also completes his the morning hurling LUCILLE LINCH “Lou” Secretary Room 38; Dramatic Club 4; Senior High News Staff; Library Club 3-4; Glee Club 1-2-3-4. The classes make-up artist. She seems to have a special weakness for Jim. But she and Dot are nip and tuck when it comes to the said Mr. Leo. day’s work early i 1 LOUISE LINEMAN “Dickie” Louise is one of the studious students from the rural district. She travels far to come to our school but we’re sure she’ll travel rapidly in her future years. MERLE LOUDEN “Mutt” P. D. Club. Well, here is another of the lads interested in tumbling. He can usually be found down at the Y. M., if he isn’t at home. We all hope Merle succeeds in tumbling, if it is for the right one. DOROT Latin 4; G] “Dot” lub 4; Library Club r Play; Senior High racis from the South Side be every morning if it were rtbt for Dot and her Dodge. Her sarcasm rings through the halls but her pleasant smile won her lasting friends. MILDRED Kiris we know-rsweet disposition, looks, and - - - ways. Buzrie falls for football players.

Student Council 4; Associate Editor of Oil Can; Junior Prom Committee; Senior Dance Committee. Our definition of a really true pal is Al. He always greets everyone, whether it be acquaintance or stranger, with a smile. Al and his cornet have certainly been places and have done things, and we feel that maybe some day he’ll be following Mr. Mitchell's footsteps. We wonder if Al will always have a weakness for Brunettes? ELIZABETH McALEVY “Betty” Latin Club. French Club. Gangway! I lere comes “Wild Bill Hicup?” It’s Betty, late as always, but here she is folks. Betty is distinguished looking and good company. “Mack” GEORGE McAL EVY Newspaper 4; Oil Can Committee; Oil Can Staff; Debating Club; Latin Club 3; P. D. Club 3; Hi-Y 1-2-3-4.

Ethel is true to her word, her work, and her friends; therefore, she has many of the latter. W’e wonder who this brunette from Greenville is? GWENDOLYN McCOY “Gwen” Home Room President 3. Glee Club. Secretarial Club. Library Club. Gweny’s ready smile and winning personality have won her many friends, among whom is Chat. He has proved that not all gentlemen prefer blondes. SYBEL McCREA “Sib” Secretarial Club. Anyone who went down First Street about 4:30 every afternoon was sure to see Sybel hurrying homeward. Few, if any, ever saw her walking slowly. It was the same way in school; she finished first and was an honor roll student. Sybel is always in a cheerful mood, and that’s a quality worth having. MARY ANN McGINNIS Nlufifts' P. D. Club. This Irish lass was one of the few students who could be in the Senior Spell Down. She also gets good marks in all her studies. william McDowell “win” Senior Orchestra. Junior Orchestra. P. D. Club. Rill has several hobbies; playing fiddle, clerking, and hunting. Hunting seems to be Rill’s favorite one. as we understand that he and his brother have a camp in the woods.

Now Lucille may appear conceited, but you’re all wrong. Rehind her winning smile can be found fun, wit, temper, and an unusual personality. CLIFFORD McELI FATTEN “Ru ” President Home Room 2. P. D. Club. Glee Club. “Rug” is the “Detention Hall Kid” himself. Resides gettipg into trouble with the teachers, “Rug” made a great many friends, who will l ea big help to him in his future life.

Club; Library Club; Belles of Beaujolais. Gerry doesn't give the boys in Oil City a break -but she spends a lot of time in Pleasantville. What does that mean? GEORGE MACKENZIE “Mick” P. D. Club. Glee Club. “The Old Man of the Mountains” from the summit of Cottage Hill. George is the unknown quantity in regard to the fair sex but for all that he’s 0. K. ROBERT MANLEY “Bob” French Club. Debate Club. Hi-Y. Bob is a familiar figure around town but why does he always look so gloomy? We don’t know but we bet when Martha conies around, his face is just wreathed in smiles. MILES MANSON Miles is quite a little man or should we say, quite The Man. He’s pretty quiet in school but through investigation we find that he and Ellen have spent some very pleasant evenings together. GLENN MARTIN “Penny” Glenn is a good egg. Ask any chicken in Senior. Oil City’s big man from the South with his big cigar, lie’s cjuite a painter and always has a secret joke. We wonder if it’s a woman or some other joke. Here is a student who faithfully travels the path to O. C. II. S. every day. Lucille is a qiuet girl but we certainly miss her friendly smile when she isn’t around. GARCIE ROE MASTERSON Glee Club. Orchestra. Xylophone Soloist. How are the crops this year? With his corn cob pipe in one hand and his music in the other, Garcy has solemnly scanned his high school life. BERYL MAYES Beryl and Clarabel are inseparable as China and its revolutions. Though Beryl sailed to us just one year ago from Grove City, she deserves the credit of being a very loyal Senior.

The Smiling Blonde! We think that’s a good name for this Happy-Go-Lucky girl. Yes. she does have a boy friend at Penn State. JAMES MINIUM “Jim” Glee Club. French Club. Oil Can History. President Room 26. Everybody likes Jim. Oh Girls! Isn’t he a wonderful pianist? Anyway, Jimmy is a fine musician and if he doesn’t get somewhere we certainly miss our guess. JOHN MOLTZ CHALMER MITCHAM “Char Football 3. Wouldn’t Chal make a marvelous villian in a show? We mean, of course, in a big show. Chal is a good pal and still goes for Gwen in a big way. CURTIS MITCHELL “Curt” Sta ,c Manager Dramatic Club Play; Hi-Y; French Club; Debating Club. Such thinking will always call attention to the Doer. We have a suspicious thought that class studies aren’t only at the bottom of this. His one ambition was to graduate with us and so here he is. He gets what he wants, including honor roll marks. I le is a confirmed bachelor but we know that ‘‘still water runs deep.” ROBERT MONTGOMERY “Bob” Senior Orchestra 1-2-3-4. Sophomore Basketball. Senior Basketball. We always wondered who was making those queer noises in orchestra every day. We just can’t believe that such a short fellow could make such loud noises.

Elizabeth is one of those people who always has a good time and yet can be an honor student and hold a job on Saturday besides. How do you do it, Chubba? CHARLES MORRISON “Chipmunk” Nope, no relation to Sue. Small yes. We let us see if we can’t get them hitched. Every one in the class seems to agree that Sue and Charles wotdd look nice together. Wonder what is stooping it? Maybe “Chuck” is BASHFUL. SUE JEAN MORRISON “Baby” Nominating Committee. President Secretarial Club. Look around carefully for fear you will step on Sue. She is small, but she certainly has a large heart for she will do anything for you. Maybe she wanted to be a lx y the way she wears her hair. You can almost see the fun bubbling out of her. 5 FRANCIS MURPHY “Red” Francis is an exceptionally bright History student for he always has an answer. We see him rushing all over town with packages and that shows he is ambitious too. Maybe some day he may have a large store of his own. The girls are very envious of his curly locks. IRENE MURPHY “Jerry” P. D. Club. Here is one of the solemn girls of our class who has willingly clone her share to liven the classes when the teacher is in great despair. LUCILLE MURPHY Pat” An attractive young lady with black, curly hair and smiling Irish eyes. Her main attraction seems to be in Pat and his Ford, so we never see or hear much of her in school. i t “Peg” CAROLINE NALEPA MARGARET MURRAY l-atin Club 2-3. French Club 3-4. Library Club 4. “Murmurez un peu plus haul” is familiar in any language in Margaret’s classes. A dainty voice for a dainty miss. Is it that dainty when talking to the R. F. We wonder. -fxa.'}) GORDON MEYERS “Gordy Senior Orchestra 4. The muscular gentleman who got that way from working a printing press, lie certainly can do things with a Trench horn, and though he’s not on the team we hear he can take a football places. Gordon, by the way, is one of the few members of our class who is still active in Roy Scout work. “Her face, so full of hidden mirth.” Pleasing personality? You bet! If that smile would ever leave Caroline’s l ossessiod we should surely think something was radically' wrong. All the ’33’s hope you can keep it with its suited disposition. JOHN NALEPA “Pole No. 3” Commercial Clulp John surejenows his R.A. f Business Arithmetic). He can do almost any problem. From what we -hear. John could solve almost any problem in “boxing” too.

We wish you good luck with candy, Grover. bf. K • HARRY NELSON “Booma” Chairman Senior Dance Committee; Advertising Manager Senior Play; Chairman Junior Picnic Committee; Glee Club; Cheer leader 3-4; Riding Down The Sky; business Manager of Operetta; Glee Club Dance Committee. It is unnecessary to describe Harry for he has been in many activities anti has hosts of friends. Harry’s greatest ambition is to be a publicity manager, and if he continues at his present pace who knows but what he will be a big time promoter some flay. RUDOLPH NUNEMAKER Rudolph left the O. ( H. S. at mid-term to make his way in this hard, cruel world. However, we are glad to have him graduate with us and wish him much success in the future. GERTRUDE O'BRIEN “Gert” Glee Club.

GEORGE PFIELSTICKER “Filley” Senior High News. I wouldn’t be surprised in the near future to hear that George is the business manager of some large news-pa| er. His able work on our school paj er helped to make it a success. MARION PHINNEY P. D. Club; French Club; Library Club; Dramatic Club; Home Room Agent 26; Ring and Pin Committee. There she goes. Who? That’s my girl. That seems to be the answer of all when she passes by. We understand that a certain would-be cadet has commander! her ATTENTION. ROBERT PLIMPTON “Bob” Bob is the champion walker of the class. He can cover the two miles from home to school in fifteen minutes flat. Bob has red hair but he’s not as tough as he would have you think. SHIRLEY POTTS Dramatic Club. Senior High News. . Here’s the little girl who is all the JYme expostulating in English class, Jtehe can take longer to say anything 5than anybody we know, but we’ll have v Jjito admit she says something when she does talk. She’s always cheerful, and )we have never heard her say a harsh word. We are sure this will help her a lot in the world. RUTH POWELL Latin Club.

MAMIE ROBERTS “Giggles” Secretary Secretarial Club; Clce Club; Entertainment Committee Room 2 ; French Club. Mamie seems to have a permanent place on the honor roll.

ALBERT SAMPSELL “AI” “Simp” President Sophomore Class; Student Council 2-3-4; Junior Dance Committee; Junior Representative to Oil Can; Football 1-2-3-4; Varsity 2-3-4; Co Captain 4; Athletic Staff of Oil Can.

Clark (table has his troubles too— “Dot” DOROTHY SAWATSKE Glee Club. Dot is among the pretty brunettes of our class. Ye don’t know what she intends to do after leaving school; however, she chose the commercial course, and who knows, perhaps some day she may hold a high position in the business world.

She and Lena are usually seen together, except in the evenings, when a certain other person can be seen with Eleanor. ROBERT SCHUBERT “Bob” “Fat” Hi-Y. Football. Bob has never fallen head over heels in love but we do know that he has taken plenty of tumbles and bumps in his football career. Who could ask for a better sport than Bob DARRELL SETII “Duke” “Gifcgy” French Club. Sophomore Club. Darrell is one of the handsome boys of the class, but we never see him with any of the girls. Are you trying to put something over on us, Darrell? WILLARD SCOTT “Rope” Why such an attractive young man. with blonde hair like Scotty’s, is so shy when it comes to the opposite sex is beyond us. At least that is the impression we get of him at school. Neither do we know why Scotty blushes so easily. M ARIETTA SETTLE Glee Club 3-4; Library Club; P. D. Club 3; Oil Can Staff 4; Belles of Beaujolais; French Club 4; Be Square Club. We always associate Marietta with the crowd, the Buick, and a pleasant smile. How can we ever forget her! HAROLD SEBRING “Earl” Football 3-4. Varsity 4. French Club. Here’s the man of merry moods. He has big expectations -such as taking a big maestro’s place and that mood will surely be a big aid. BOB SHARP “Bob” Football 2-3-4; Varsity 3-4; Ring and Pin Committee; Junior Prom Committee; Latin Club 3; Debating Club 4. The only time Bob walks fast is at a fire drill. He is almost always late for his classes; but, nevertheless, he is well liked by all the teachers. He adds a great deal of fun to our class and he is quite a lady’s man. GENEVIEVE SIIEEHAN “Gen” Belles of Beaujolais; Gypsy Rover; Pepita: P. D. Club 4; Glee Club 1-2-3-4: Library Club 3. “Laugh and the World Laughs With You” is Gen’s theme song. Though she had quite a task convincing the teachers she was serious where her lessons were concerned, we believe she has succeeded in playing her role as a faithful student. MILDRED SHERICK “Mid” Glee Club 2-3-4. Operetta. Senior Secretarial Club. Mildred is one of the talkative members of our class. We don’t blame her for we know how hard it is to sit under the eyes of a teacher for a whole day without whispering. But in spite of this, Mildred managed to get good marks. V MARTHA SHERMAN “Marty” Glee Club. Library Club. Secretary oi Home Room. P. D. Club. We can remember Martha from way back at C entral. She worked hard there and she is still working No, she is not slow; just ambitious. W e wonder if she is going to teach school or argue over commas the remainder of her life. MOLLY SHEW Molly is one of our noted class members in that she comes from Scotland. Her motto seems to be “Talk and l e Happy.

Council; Girl Reserve Basketball; Glee Club. Audrey proves an exception to the saying “Precious things come in small packages.” Her sunny disposition and good looks have won her many friends and admirers. She and Dot are “Les Inseparables.” ROBERT SHREVE Every class has a Romeo, and Bob seems to be ours. Ilis favorite pasttime is loafing around the halls and the drinking fountain with Ruth. We wonder if wedding bells are far off. W’e are fortunate to have such a fun-loving and pretty girl as Teenie in our class. She is especially known for her dramatic ability in comedy parts and has a smile for everyone. She is a corker in deportment and is quite popular with the op|M� site sex. MELISSA SIMON “Micky” Glee Club. Secretarial Club. Here’s another brilliant student. Melissa is quiet in school but when she’s outside or in glee club then watch out. Her many friends will regret to see her leave but we’re proud that she’s graduating in our class. PHYLLIS SHRIVER “Phyl” Glee Club 1-2-3; Riding Down The Sky; Klmer; Dramatic Club 3; French Club 4; Ring and Pin Committee.

VICTOR SINGER “Vic” Glee Club 3. “Yes, we have the bananas is Vic’s theme song. When you want good service just go to the A. P. on First Street and Vic will be right there to wait on you. Some day Vic'll probably have an A. P. of his own. We’re with you Vic. GEORGE SLATER “Tubby” Ki linn Down The Sky. Glee Club. George is one of the most persistent students of our class. Although he spent a great deal of his time hunting, fishing, and exploring the great outdoors. George found time to come to school occasionally and definitely selected this as his graduating class. ARLINE SMITH “Susie” Secretarv Room 30. 2; dee Club Board. Cpe Cl :b Dance Committee Library Club. This young maiden is noted for talking and giggling. She seems to have attracted the attention of a certain young man whom many of us know, but who wouldn't be attracted by such a smile as Arline's? n L Lxr il f } s pi Jhr II GRACE SMITH “Smitty” Orchestra; Library Club; Latin Club; Glee Club; Secretary Home Room 15; Assistant Librarian; Banquet Committee. Grace is ranked among the up-to-date members which our class has poured forth. Rakers, Frannie, and the piano are the three necessities in her life. We are not just sure what Grace has in store for herself but we do know that she will be successful in whatever she attempts. , ! 1' RUTH SMITH I atin Club 3-4. Student Council 3. Ring and Pin Committee. Junior Play Committee. When it comes to being studious, here is a fine example. We gladjy announce that all the work was not in vain. Here is one of the l oys of the bashful blushing gang. Was his face red? Chuck wastes little t ime in school usually putting most of his time on his lessons. We believe Charley will be in Lombardo’s orchestra before he’s married, because Chuck plinks his banjo, (dad to have you with us, Chuck. KENNETH SPENCE “Mike’’ Ken is a trusty Senior with an attractive personality which has won him many friends during his high school days. We wonder if he is attracted to the opposite sex. Come on, Ken. give the girls a break before it’s too late. JOHN SNYDER John’s friendly cpiiet manner has gained for him the esteem of us all. We predict John will have a repair shop of his own due to his mechanical ability. BERNICE SPANGLER “Bernie” Operetta. Glee Club. Bernice is a cjuiet maid with a smile for all. She is a good sport and a real friend, but we are not the only ones that think so. There is a young man named Anthony! CLARENCE STAIILMAN “Lefty” Clarence is another fellow whom we will put under the quiet type. We imagine that Clarence is capable of his school work and a lot more out of school. Tom believes in having a good time in school for afterwards he has to work at the Roller Skating Rink. I WILLIAM STANLEY “Bill” Football Manager 4: Junior Class Treas.; Junior Dance Committee; Student Council: Ring and Pin Committee; President Room 11-12; Glee Club: Riding Down The Sky; French Club; Hi-Y. Bill doesn’t go for the ladies (much but they sure go after him. Give the gals a break Bill. We’re watching you. THOMAS STANTON “Tom” The classes’ lady killer (with a lady killer) Tom knows his groceries but not how to drive—right. When Tom drives on the street everyone scrams -ladies too. ROBERT STANTON “Bob” “Snooze” Riding Down The Sky; Glee Club; Debating Club: Hi-Y; French Club; Senior Picnic Committee. And here is the Bill Tilden of our class. At least he was city tennis champ and does he get along with the women. He has tried to find “the one with little success as yet but there is lots of time left. tJ V hjr CLIFFORD STEER “Cliff” Glee Club. Mixed Quartet. Cliff is quite a singer and when he and his brother get together there’s plenty of harmony to be heard. We hojie you make the stage, Cliff.

Here is the girl from Siverly in the little red hat. No wonder Charlotte’s cheeks are always so red, ours would be too if we had to walk along that river side every morning, noon and night. Just the same. Charlotte’s a good kid even though she does sell peanuts, popcorn, and crackerjack at the five and dime store.

We are not the only ones that appreciate his talent and good looks, there is a certain Junior that has interests too. GERALD SWAB “Bertie” “Jerry” A quiet, studious lad- that’s Gerald. At least this is the impression we get of him in school. But who knows he may he different when he leaves us at 4:15 P. M. Gerald didn’t like oral topics, so maybe that was why he was so quiet. ELIZABETH TALLEY “Talley” What a life-saver she has proved to he. It was not often that Elizabeth recited hut when she did—my, the knowledge she revealed. HELEN TALLEY Latin Club. Library Club.

Here’s Charlotte's twin sister, believe it or not. They dress the same, act the same, work at the same place, in fact, I believe they are quite a bit the same. We sure will miss these two girls in the Library every morning and noon talking over the happenings of the previous night. WHAT HAPPENINGS! DEE WATSON Glee Club; Hi-Y; Orchestra 2-3-4; French Club; Debating Club. Dee’s apparent motto in life is “Easy Come, Easy Go.” He developed an art of devilishness very early in his school life which was very provoking to the faculty.

GEORGE WAY The walking “Collar Ad.” He likes to strut around with his pipe and to top it off, his crowning (??) glory is his red jersey. And how he can “Kick that Gong Around!” ROBERT WEBER ‘Bob” Bob’s hobby is missing school. We’re afraid that if he ever gets a job he’ll have to change his habits a little. Take a tip, Bob, be on the dot. A ‘Tootsie” FLORENCE WELMS Glee Club. Flo” is one of the few quiet blondes of our class. When reports came due. she was one of the few students that could sit back and take it easy. We hope that through life Flo will be able to encounter hardships as she did her high school studies. CHARLES WHEELER “Chuck” French Club. Who would have thought that Illinois was represented in our class. Well here's the fellow who can tell you about racketeers and Capone. GEORGE WIERSBINSKI “Larry” His girls? Certainly not far off. We all hope George will be as successful in later life as he is with our girls. MARGARET ROSE WILBERT Latin Club. Orchestra. A fair mademoiselle from Rouse-ville. A little birdie told us that she is very interested in—just guess what -Math, the subject which gets so many of us down. DOROTHY WILSON “Dot” Secretarial Club. Glee Club. Dorothy’s quiet manner and winning smile has won her many friends. A better duet than Dot and Flo is hard to find. When she’s not with Flo. Howard seems to be the one and only.

We do know that Joe can play a keen game of baseball and we hope that he will succeed if he continues to play.

ROGER Besides his other numerous tasks our Editor finds time to give some instruction to his little brother on that great old game. You can never learn too young and here’s hoping that he gets along as well as his brother. OILERS DEDICATION OF ATHLETIC H. L. WELLS Mr. Jinx had quite a battle with Coach Wells this past football season as he continually took away valuable men from the Oiler line-up. During basketball season Dame Fortune smiled on him and he immediately began to build up another championship five. What school would not like to have such a fine man as Mr. Wells as head of their athletics? G. F. McALEVY Cooperation is the keynote to all success. That is exactly why our athletics have had such a financial success. Mr. McAlevy has cooperated with Coach Wells in every matter in such a manner that it has been advantageous to all. Mac has handled the job of faculty manager for years and little more could be asked of him. 1 E L D � SEPTEMBER 24, 1932 O. E. COLLINS No team can get along without an assistant coach and we should feel fortunate in having such a capable man as Mr. Collins to fill this capacity. Too much cannot be said in praise for Mr. Collins. The Oiler lettermen of today will always remember these two fine men of our Coaching Staff. W. H. FLANN Through the untiring efforts of Mr. Flann we have a beautiful new athletic field of which we are all proud. He has worked hard to help raise the standard of athletics in Oil City. The Class of 1933 wishes at this time to extend a hearty hand and a vote of thanks in appreciation of his fine work. 1932 � FOOTBALL SQUAD « 1932 Coach—II . L. Wells LETTERMEN Assistant Coach—0. E.

His all around playing aided the championship teams of ’30 and '31 immensely. Leo is leaving behind a record hard for any future terminal to equal. CHUCK DALE—Halfback ’29-’30-’31 Always it seems is the blocker doomed to do his work without recognition save from the coach. Despite his lack of weight he proved himself equal to any man who faced him and Chuck generally held the upperhand in giving the hard knocks. Due to the eight semester rule we lost him for this year. , BILL RYAN—Halfback ’32 Handicapped by lack of height, weight, and experience, Bill started out this year with a determination to make the varsity. As the season progressed he improved rapidly until he became one of the shiftiest ball carriers of the year. This was his first year of football and he made good. AL SAM PSELL—Half back ’30-’31-’32 The first thing a coach desires is a blocking back. In A1 he found the very thing he wanted. Besides being a blocker he held down the duties of defensive fullback, for the last three years, in excellent manner and also handled the kick-offs. His never dying fight is bound to carry him on to bigger and better things. BOB SHARP—Center ’31-’32 Headwork and brawn don't always go together, but in Bob this classic mixture found a splendid vessel. Strapping and powerful he gave every evidence as a worthy successor to his brother Howdy. Quick, he smeared many plays behind the line and found delight in discomforting many of the opposing star backs. His loss will be keenly felt next year. IIUCK UNDERWOOD Guard’32 Here we have the Oilers little Bert Metzger. He spent the last two years as a reserve back, but this year decided to fill the gap left at guard. With plenty of drive and fight he did that very thing. Huck believes that you can’t keep a little man down. BILL ZIEGLER—Quarterback ’30-’31-’32 It is seldom that a Sophomore earns his letter as quarterback but that is exactly what Bill did. He carried on his stellar playing from then right up through the last game of this year. His punting was outstanding, and he was a good ball carrier. We will look for him at Cornell. BILL STANLEY Manager ’32 Here we have our handy-man. It was always Bill this and that but he never shirked and was always there with a hand for the team. He would be a valuable asset to any coach’s team and he is certainly worthy of the “O” which he cherishes very much.

We regret to see him go but wish him luck at college. BOB IIOLDEN Center ’31 Here we have another reason why the Oilers were champions last year. Playing with several fast independent teams during his absence from school he decided to return and strut his stuff for the Oilers. Being gifted with plenty of height he was seldom outjumped at center. He was a strong defensive man and could always be depended upon for a good score. Due to the age limit we lost Bobbie for this year. HAROLD LILLY—Forward ’32 Harold had a real job this year to keep up the name of Lilly made by his brother Bill in the preceding years. Being a hard worker and willing to learn, he rapidly developed into a dependable floorman. He pulled the Oilers out of fire in many games this past year and fooled his brother in the Alumni game. The name of Lilly has now left our high school line-ups for good which we regret very much. BILL RYAN—Forward and Manager ’32 Here we have our senior manager who decided that he could win a place on the Varsity. Being fast and shifty he soon developed into a real dependable basketball player. We lost him at mid-term due to the eight semester ruling but he still continued his managerial duties in excellent fashion. With his determined fight and grit Bill is bound to make good at whatever he tries. GRADUATING BASKETBALL LETTERMEN ACTIVITIES ii ii SENIOR PLAY On the evenings of November 24, 25. and 26, the Class of 1933 presented their first play, “It Happened In Hollywood” under the capable direction of Mr. F. L. Lewis. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this highly successful three act comedy farce. The action centered around Josie Pembroke who returned from Europe with her friend Princess Dolores to find the house in possession of two strangers, Allan Tremayne and Tom Garrity. She and her friend disguised themselves as maids to aid Jarvis, the family butler. In the midst of everything in walks Mrs. Pembroke. The chauffeur is found to be Prince Umbert. The play ended with Allen engaged to Josie and the Prince falls in love with the Princess. Much humor was added by Phyllis Dugan, Doreen Downing, Polly O’Connor, and Sir Humphry. Jarvis.

Ben and Carmelita immediately fall in love and furnish some delightful love scenes. As a dignified old couple, Rosa and Don Jose sure take the honors and for real fun and comedy Joshua and Ferdinand displayed their fine ability.

This is the first time in the history of the school that a girls’ glee club has obtained this distinction.

Mr. Mitchell, our versatile director, has planned on entering them in state competition next so other contestants must watch out. LIBRARY CLUB The Library ('lull is an organization of the Senior High girls.

Tripping gracefully over her train. Mrs. Arlene Smith Barrett pushed her husband along in front of her while portraying the Spirit of Ammonia.” When the parade got this far there was a clamor outside and in rushed William De Lucia dressed to represent the last man on earth.

Just as we were about to draw a breath of relief, thinking that the opening festivities were over, in rushed the much sought after Lois Wallace disguised as an accident about to happen.

The championship of the district depends upon the outcome of this one game. Bands are playing. The side lines are packed with spectators, tense, waiting, for the referee’s whistle to start the game. The coach has worked hard all season preparing the team for this one game, teaching new plays and pointing out the weak spots in the opposing team. He has given everything— spared nothing so that his team could go into this game with an even chance to win. It is now up to the players to prove themselves. The referee gives the warning signal. The coach gives his last minute instructions and retires to the side lines. He has done his best. The players take their positions, heads up, chins thrust forward, realizing that it is now up to them alone to come through and uphold the honor and glory of team and school. The referee raises his arm. The whistle blows. The ball is kicked off and the big game is on. And so it is with the big game which you are now about to enter. The game of life. On the side lines are your teachers and parents who for years have been teaching and training you for this one big game. They have sacrificed many things that you might succeed. They have retired to the side lines. They have done their best. It now remains for you to prove to them that you will enter this game, heads up, chins thrust forward, determined to give life one of the grandest battles it has ever had. And you would not disappoint them, would you? May we wish you the best of luck. National Transit Pump Machine Co. OIL CITY, PENNSYLVANIA !

PEARSON It’s the fourth leaf that makes it lucky— A THREE-LEAF CLOVER never wins a smile from Dame Fortune. It's that extra leaf that makes it a lucky find. Just as it's that extra quart of lubrication in every gallon that makes Quaker State Motor Oil such a lucky find for your motor. And here’s the reason........ Ordinary refining leaves in every gallon of ordinary motor oil a quart or more of thin, non-viscous material, that has little or no value as a lubricant to your motor. But you don’t get this waste when you buy a gallon of Quaker State, for Quaker State is super-refined—a process that removes the quart of waste. In its place you get a quart of the finest lubricant—you really get “An Extra Quart of Lubrication in Every Gallon!” And every gallon of Quaker State is made from 100% pure Pennsylvania Grade Crude Oil—the finest known! Stop at the Green and White Quaker State sign! — Try a filling of Quaker State. You’ll notice the difference in your motor— in its smoother power and sweeter purr!

It tosses and tumbles in shear delight With each new dawn and the radiant light. It adds its song to a river’s roar. It partakes of the depth, the strength, and the life. Mere shallow, it laughs by the willowy shore, There deep, it is wrapped in wisdom and lore. Murmuring, singing, swelling, o’erflowing, It winds on its way both winter and summer. Withstanding the ages and Aquilo’s blowing, It approaches the sea and the turbulent flowing. It twists and twirls; it rages and raves; It thinks for a moment of the woodland spring; But is seized and is swept to the surging waves, For God has decreed and Nature obeys. —-Margaret D. Reid O. C. H. S. O-C-H-S, Come on give us j our best, Fight, team fight, You know we’re all behind you. Let us just remind you, You’re all right; Hold up your chin, throw out your chest, Give us a win, we’ll do the rest, Come on our Blue and White—Fight, fight, fight, fight, Fight for O-C-H-S.
