RAVELIN 'S PHILIP LUCAS FALES Phil Not a word spoke he more than was necessary. A very smart boy is Phil. He certainly has had many teachers perplexed by his very deep and thoughtful questions. Phil is a very quiet boy, when he is in sight of some. He has a queer habit of keeping quiet at the wrong time. His favorite occupations are doing physics with LeClaire and asking to speak to Helliwell. Activities: Latin Club 4. CHARLES EDWARD FARRAR Sharlie Of making books there is no end and much studying is a weariness to the flesh. Vas you dere Sharlie? Of course he Was. He always is. His pet sayings to the girls are very attractive, boys. Ask him to let you in on 'the secretg probably it is the way he says them. Have you ever noticed that twinkle in his eye and that ear to ear smile? That's the kind that makes a good actor. He never wastes that 2004 talent, for he has made use of it in dramatics. With one eye on his book. and the other on that blonde Sharlie still knows his work. I+'s too bad we don't know what his future plans are, bfut he'll be there. Activities: Glee Club 1, 2, 33 Dramatics 1, 2, 33 Commercial Club 4. SYLVIA GREENE usyln She that could think, and ne'er disclose her mind. Sylvia Greene is a past member of Commerce High School, but we were glad to welcome her to Oxford High last September. A1- though she didn't take part in many of the activities she is well known by all her classmates. Her very striking Y-le'l-oo is heard everywhere. She has a pleasant smile for everyone. She hopes to travel to South Africa and be a social worker. She is interested in Philosophy which will help her in her social work. Red is her favorite color and I'm sure everyone will remember her for her selection of bright colors. Good luck to you Syl.

RAVELIN 'S HELEN CATHERINE DALEY Billie We saw her charming, but saw not half the charm her down-cast modesty concealed. One of the lightest rays of sunshine in Oxford High School. Whenever one is down hearted or angry, she easily brings him out of that mood by her smile which can never be mistaken or taken away, for it always seems to be part of her. She is very often seen at Montroses'-Helen is a very popular girl in school because of her abilities and activities. Sho seems to be in everything. Because of her great dancing ability. we hope she can dance through life. It will be very difficult to replace Helen when she leaves dear old O. H. S.

MARJORIE NELLIE DAVIS Marje Her ways are ways of pleasantnessf' Where, Oh where did Marjie acquire that d-r-a-W-l. It cer- tainly is catchy, Don't you iust picture hearing her sayQ That's s-w-e-l-l. Marje surely is jolly, obliging and tender. When you hear, Miss Davis. the key is on my desk, get some typing paper. you know that Miss Bu'ke is her true friend.

DOROTHY REED EAMES l.D0t,, A blithe heart makes a blooming visagef' A click, click, clack of high heels is heard coming across the hall, and then a cheery voice calls out Hey, Blanche. Yes, it is Dot Eames. Dot has just heard another good story and she must look up her friend and some of her classmates to tell it to. Dot has a cheery disposition, no one can stay downcast when Dot is around. Do you wonder that we never find her alone? We all know Dot likes to travel, far and wide. Neatness is Dot's chief char- acteristic. Who wouldn't like to have a chemistry and science notebook and a model bookkeeping set like hers. Dot would like to go to Becker College-hope she gets there. But, that dream-trip to California is getting her. That probably will be her first stopping place. We hope she doesn't forget to send us cards from all parts of the world.

RAVELIN 'S MERRITT' HAROLD HARRINGTON, JR. Knute Let the world slide. The name Knute is recognized by every one, as he is Ox- ford High School's star athlete. He spends most of his time teas- ing the girls-however, they don't seem to mind it. He has great ability to think and make out plans, although he will not express them to everyone. I think you must have to get On the right side of him, but who knows, some day he may be a second Knute Rockne. Knute uses his ears very much in class, but he cer- tainly gives his tongue a rest.

ROBERT NORTON HELLIWELL CIB0bll His great works do bespeak his character. Can this fellow think? There is no problem that can stop him. Bob is a very determined fellow and when he once starts out to do something he will not rest until he has done it. He may be seen around a desk by the door at recess. Every time Bobbie can get his car, he uses it. He believes in the policy of, My car, your money. Bob certainly has a great head on his shoulders and we all certainly hope it will help him realize his one ambition which is to have a great big bank roll.
