TI-IE MIRROR SENIOR ISSUE MARGKIERITE HARKNESS In view of her famous discussion, we wish to give Peggy a can of baked beans in memoriam to the Senior Outing. JOSEPHINE BOHUMISCKY Joe has such nice black locks, yet she wants curls just like Fifi Dorsa. So here's a little help in the form of a curling iron. ANNA MINARIK Anna is just learning to drive a car and in case she gets one of those naughty flats here's a pump to help her along. STELLA DMYTRYK Stella is very much interested in Art and so in the interest of the art masters, we wish to give her this subscription blank which, with two dol- lars, will entitle her to a year's subsdription to Arts and Decorations. ELIZABETH STROH Lizzy wants to get in the movies so in order to help her we wish to give her this copy of The Silver Screen which contains many pointers and which will also let her enter its beauty con- tests. GRACE BEHLER To our dignified, Grace Behler, a joke book to provoke her charming, but seldom heard laugh. CATHERINE STEELE Another baby to take the place of a fast- growing little brother. CHARLES MILI-IovIcH A new watch for our Charlie in case he polish- es away his Bulova. SIDNEY WEBB We have always been so mystified at Sid 's thimble trick, that we wondered what he could do with two of them. ROBERT S1-IEARMAN To our child prodigy-a suitable toy. LEvAN LINTON A leather medal for upholding the dignity of the Class. ELIZABETH PHILIP Elizabeth makes herself among the missing when a ferocious day is present. Somehow this Senior has cultivated a dislike for that species of animals. She will admire a. dog in a pen, but doesn't like a dog running around loose. A look at this dog five times a day will cure Liz of any fear she feels. PAUL SERFASS We are giving Paul Serfass a quart of gasoline. When you take a certain Senior girl out to ap- preciate the moon, carry this can of gas and you'll never have the excuse to park because of leak of gasoline. LoUIs SI-IIPKOVSKY Louis, the Senior Caruso, likes to vocalize. For two years he had singing roles in the Oper- etta. I am giving him a box of canary seed. May it make him always sing sweetly. MARIE ZNAIDEN Marie reads a book a day in season. She stays up till the wee hours to finish an interest- ing book. The next day Marie tells us she read the most wonderful book . Night reading is a strain on the eyes. So to Marie we present these eye-glasses. CATHERINE PETERS Catherine is one of the students who took her lab work very seriously. She was anxious to do everything according to directions. In memory of her lab work we are giving her this bottle of gas which when one has caught an ordor of it, will never forget. The famous H2S. ELIZABETH DERcoTz One of -he Senior girl athletes is Elizabeth Dercotz. At our outing she tried her skill at piloting an airplane Kon chainsj. One of the cigar-smoking Zilch Brothers was her instructor. So that Elizabeth will not forget that occasion. I am giving her a .oy airplane. MARION DIETZ The ring that was given to you by your boy friend and then lost has been found by one of the honorable Seniors and held to this occasion so that you will not weep over your loss any longer. RUTH KISTLER The girl who burns so much midnight oil and strains her eyes. A pair of spectacles will prob- ably help her keep her eyes in condition and keep them open longer after midnigh,. VELMA VEGH The one who has been applying for a telephone operator's position for the past year. A phone will help you rehearse your sweet talks which will confront you.
