Address the envelope to the ZILCH BROTHERS, Room thirty-three, P.H.S. Then throw the letter into the fire and get out your recipe book and try a different pudding. Mr. Learn- What is a batchelor? Linton- A batchelor is a man who looks be- fore he leaps-and then-doesn't leap. Oratoricals On April 22, the Girls' Carbon County Ora- torical Contest was held in the East Mauch Chunk High School. Mildred Weber was chosen from the eight contestants of the preliminaries to represent P.H.S. She won second place in the contest with her oration The Girl In White Armor. The Junior Oratorical and Extemporaneous Speaking Contest was held May 19, in the High School auditorium. In the Oratorical Contest Robert F. Fleming was awarded Mrs. Luther's gold piece, and James Williams received the book given by Mr. Roeder. Fred Heller received Mr. Kelsey's gold piece and Thomas Gearhart won the gold piece given by Miss Ada James for ex- cellence in extemporaneous speaking.

Debating Debating did not come into prominence until the last three years. Although the attendance was low and the support meager, the teams have been victorious. The debating teams of 1932 had a very suc- cessful season. By defeating Lehighton, Lans- ford and Mauch Chunk, they won the Carbon County Championship. The teams defeated Schuylkill Haven, thus winning the champion- ship of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and earning the privilege of representing Eastern Pennsylvania at the State finals in Pittsburgh. The question debated this year was-Resolved: That the State of Pennsylvania Should Enact Legislation Providing for Compulsory Unem- ployment Insurance. It was under the direction of Mr. O. M. Blynn and through the endeavors of Catherine Peters, Robert Fleming, Marsden Vanderwaart, Fred Heller, Thomas Gearhart and James Wil- liams that our school was represented. Liz Mikus- When I was in Rome I fell right down and kissed the pavement. C. Steele- Emotion? Mikus- No, banana peel.

THE MIRROR SENIOR Issue Class Presentations HARLAN BossAaD As you know, Harlan is appropriately called Baby . In order to help him through this depression we are going to outfit him withthe latest hem-stitched, Ma-hat-ma GhanHi sum- mer suit complete with two safety pins. MARCELLO ALoNzo Marcella seems to be the main attraction of one of the Zilch Brothers ever since the Senior Outing. So that she may hold this affection. I present her with this red ribbon. MERRI1' ECKERT Because you are so quiet, I think it's about time you made yourself heard, therefore, I give you this rattle and hope you will use it. STEPHINA Po'rIsH Stephina is a good typist so she probably will someday be Somebody's Stenog. To help her secure a young batchelor as her boss I pre- sent her with a fish hook. MADELINFT STURDICK Madeline seems to have trouble when she wants to be heard. So she wil be heard when the final, I do, is to be said, I present her with this megaphone. BETTY Brmrr Because Betty expects to go to Battle Creek to school, we'll give her a le.ter of credit-a box of breakfast food. MARGARET STEMLER Here's a small can for Peg to take her to Slatington when HIS roadster cannot come .o Palmerton. JOHN MURRA1' A gong for Jack to use on those frequent mornings when his alarm clock doesn't ring. MARSDEN VANDERWAART This cigar with the hope that results will be as disastrous as his first one, smoked away fromhome. Ros!-1 STRBO Here is a box containing cork shoe tips. On the side reads, To be used by Rose Strbo so that when she goes out with Bobby Wagner and he should happen to step on her foot as Ernest Walk did, she will not disturb the rest of the group. Bi-:RN1c1-1 BORGER I understand that this young lady enjoys the pastime of reading. Not being familiar with her library, I am sure this copy of will not be wasted on her. MILDRED BROBST I hear that you are a good cook and as this talent should not be wasted, I present you with this pamphlet so that you can use it to good ad- vantage. MARGUERITE GREEN Just lately ic came to my ears thai you at,- tend many week-end parties. Knowing that these break up at the wee hours of the morning. I give you this coffee pot so you may partake of its beverage so that you may keep awake during the following day. MARY ONDREIKA Giggles , that's the name that applies Lo you. Fearing that some day you giggler will wear out, I present you with this bottle of laugh- ing gas so you can take a dose if such a calamity should befall you. TOM GEARHART It seems that Tom is interested in a girl that comes from Wisconsin. So I think Tom should have this map of that State in order to show his friends the exact place her previous home was. Joie: PLECHAVI Joe is the carpenter of the Senior Class, so I think his success in later life will be advanced with this saw. JoYcE GREEN Joyce would like to be a milliner, so we give her this tape measure so her customers will al- ways leave satisfied. MARTHA SHINER Martha's big moment is working at the Pine's Hotel in the Poconos. So we give her this box of stationery for her love letters. WASIL DEMYCHYCK The pool shack of the local fire department. He lives on the table and it is seldom that he loses a game, and whenever he does the cue stick gets the blame for not being chalked. Wassil, so that you can better your game and avoid losing your religion, we'll present you with a new chalk.
