SENIOR Issum THE MIRROR LEVAN LINTON Hat 's off! The president of the Senior Class, one of the first ten among this year's renowned basketeers, an ardent skiing enthusiast! Levan is greatly puzzled as to next year-who is going to polish his goggles for him. He admits Bow- manstown polishes are most efficient! ANNA MAURICH Sugar and spice. And everything nice - Anna is another of our classmates who has retired in the background during her high school career, but we all appreciate her. Thorough- ness and neatness are two of Anna's fine traits which willbeof great aid in securing a good posi- tion in the business world. ELIZABETH MIKUS Popular and sincere Lizzie as her name implies, is one of the most carefree, happy, go-lucky girls in our class. Humorous, witty and very popular, she still finds time to mix enough work with play to be rated as a good student. Her well rounded characteristic developments bespeak a rosy future and a life full of pleasure and sincerity. CHARLES M ILKOWI CH Charlie is the lad thar feels gyped in Eng- lish classg that writes the S.O.S. and the Athletic' Columns in THE MIRROR? that was Student Man- agerof Winter Activitiesg that continually polish- es an over-shiny Bulova, and who over-uses one poor little word chees . All his faults in one little nut shell-that's Charlie. ANNA MINARIK Quiet, but sincere - Anna is a very pleasant and capable girl. We have not heard much of Anna, but whenever there was any work to be done, she always did her share in making every undertaking a success. May Anna always keep this characteristic for which so many of us strive and so few acquirre. JACK MURRAY Every inch of his 6 foot 1- Marks him a gentle Irishman. Famed for his Burgess of Palmerton speech- renowned for his St. Patrick's Day addresses, hailed for his jovial wit, Murray, Scotch-Irish, stars as the Orator of the Class of '32! Track, football, swimming, baseball-in all an eager enthusiast. A fast track man, Jack walked to school admiring the beauty of nature, and made a record in both. His girl? Sh! That's an unsolvable mystery! MATTHEW NICHOLAS Little drops of Wildroot A Hnger wave to set-H But it makes a dashing fellow Looks like he's all wet! Nicky is great for dancing and especially with fair Cleopatra who reigns in Slatington. He's the champ Whisker grower and he hates fights. Whow! Why? LOUISE NOTHSTEIN Looking for fun but not afraid of work. Louise or Butch , whose lightning like deftness with her hands has gained for her the title of the best typist in P.H.S., also delights in the social activities of our class. Her witty saying, and spicy humor always make her the life of the party. To her life is all fun and is to be lived as such, for after all, worry spoils the nicety of things and shortens life. MARY ONDREICKA Always a smile, never a tear Mary with her good-natured, cheerful ways, has a host of friends among the Seniors as well as the undergraduates. Parties and danc- ing-well, anything that spells fun, interest Mary. Some day Mary may manage an amusement park all her own. MARION OSWALD Auf Wiedersehn The Songbird of the Seniors is Lil , Marion 's most active interest is the Glee Club. She appeared in several operettas and had a leading part in The King Rides By. With her molded waves and nice style, she is a favor- ite with the boys. especially those in Miss Tomb's homeroom. ELIZABETH PHILIP Character is the diploma- Liz is another one of those happy girls whom nothing seems to worry and who takes life as it comes. She is noted for her understanding and sympathy and is well liked by all the girls. She is quite an orator, having won the Junior Oratoricals. Although a winsome actress, her passion is bridge. '

TI-II: MIRROR SENIOR Isstm MARGUERITE GREENE Gute Madchen Sincere, sweet, conscientious, thus do her teachers and class mates consider Marguerite. She comes from Little Gap-and enjoys books immensely. Marguerite has deep appreciation and ability, and ranks in the upper fourth of the ROBERT GREEN Whistle! Just Whistle! Otto Demosthenes Zilch is speaking, head of the Zilch Brothers' Union. As Pat Burns, Bob wrote those famous funny lovers which often appeared in TI-IE MIRROR. Bob was the Assistant Circulation Manager of TIIE MIRROR, and what a manager! He hasn 't got a girl- he's got a dozen of them. MARGUERITE HARKNESS Studiousg quiet Profiting a. bit. Peggy is one of our more serious girls, and because of it, ranks fourth in her class. The Honor Society has her in its midst, and she looks forward to enrollment in Elmira College. She was the Senior High editor on the staff of THE MIRROR and sh! her pet ambition is Geology- rocks, fossils and stones-a rolling stone gathers no fossils-or vicer vercer, sil vous plais? DORIS HARRISON He's so handsome, strong, and tall class. Doris is a go-getter-but a capable one. She fulfilled her post as Student Manager of Girl's Basketball remarkably well. She is a fount of information on the latest scandal or news. Her ideal is tall and slim and dark. But we warn you, boys, she is quite a manager! ROSALEEN HATCHER Pc. C., '32 is our Class poet and a woman of mystery. She pesters all the teachers for the minutest details of their private lives, but never tells a word of her own affairs. By her broad smile, wisecraclcs, and helpfulness, she keeps on the good side of her teachers and her men. She has, by the way. an exceptionally soft spot in her heart for all Irishmen, Bobbie Burns, and a great many messy clippings. JULIA HAYTMAN Julia is a very popular member of the Hazard Gang who somehow likes to ride in Chevrolet coaches Cone in particularl. She was a player on the Girls' Basketball team for two years, holding a strong guard position. The Senior Class has Julia for its secretary and for a good reason she is known as Boots. KENNETH HEINEY Will Power Heiney, Herman Abner Zilch, and Guerney Heiney, tax collector's son, bow for the ladies. That 's the good boy! Will Power is a great fisherman and hunter-and also a pretty good character in plays, especially a woman character. He's got that something- Mary from Slatington thinks so, too! FRED HELLER I remember-I remember After two years in Palmerton High School, Fred still strongly objects, but has become known to his class mates as a walking encyclo- pedia. Debating, Track, Oratoricals, Extem- poraneous, Poison Ivy, Ice skating, swimming, Chemistry and so on into the night are the things for which he is remembered. RUTH KISTLER An active and hard worker is our attractive Vice-President. Ruth is quite an actress and is always there when something of a social nature is going On. Curly hair, especially in her men, is one of Ruth's weaknesses. Extemporaneous speaking is another. DONALD KOCHER Senior says, thumbs up! Almost every other night Donald may be found down at the Triangle bumming a ride to Slatington or thereabouts. Dancing is his weakness, but he has a terrible time deciding- Hazel-Peg-Sarah-MHazel-Peg-Sarah. JOSEPH KOLISH Joe has gained his fame as a woodworker, but is as well known for his very artistic designs and talk! talk! talk! until the teachers give up in disgust. But Joe is a good skate and cheers us all up with ready humor and continued smiles. MIKE KURTZ Come down, mountain man, come down! Man-Mountain Kurtzie is tall,nice-looking, and very bashful. In fact he blushes. But he has good reason: a little birdie whispers that his heart beats for a certain Lehighton girl, but the birdie cocks his head and says no, he guesses it 's a P.H.S. lassie. Come down, man-moun- tain, tell us please!
