Her well rounded characteristic developments bespeak a rosy future and a life full of pleasure and sincerity.

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.

WOODROW STEIGERWALT Sadie doesn't like pies, cakes, buns, etc., anymore. CP.S.vhe drives a baker truck-if that's any reasonj but he does like Miss Tomb.

CATHERINE STEELE Prudes for proccors, dowagers for deans, And sweft girl graduates in their golden hair. Kate is a sweet blonde, quite unlike her name.

MARGARET STEMLER Peg O'My Heart Peg is one of the shining stars along drama- tic lines, in each of the plays and dramas presen - ed, she held a leading part.

Velma Anne is a very shy girl with quiet inter- ests. Embroidery and poetry are her pets. It is her ambition to become a telephone operator or a typist-probably the former. Her verses are sweet, and filled with beautiful thoughts. Velma herself , is sweet and many others outside the class think so, too. ERNEST WALK A good combination-a Commercial student with a head for business and that all-around fel- lowship that makes a good executive. Ernie was business manager for the Senior Play and very fittingly, president of the Social Club. Hattie-or don't he? Rufus knows! SIDNEY WEBB Twelve o'clock, and all's not well.
