Twenty MET A P. H. S. STEPHEN H. CHIGAS ‘‘Silence is golden.” A lthough Stephen has not taken an ac- tive part in our school activities, he has been a help to our class in that he car- ries cheerfulness with him. He is quiet by nature, although at times he gives way to a chuckle of merriment. Usually this occurs in his history class. We wonder ■why. ROBERT S. CLARE ‘‘Men judge us by the success of our efforts.” Class Basketball “Rusty”, jovial, friendly, and debon- air, ranks among the “happy-go-lucky” fellows of our class. Perhaps he has a se- rious note in his nature, but we have found him always looking at the bright and humorous side of life. With best wishes for success we bid him “au re- voir.” RUTH E. CONWAY “Petite but oh so sweet.” Spanish Club P. H. S. Revue Girls’ Basketball Cute and petite is our “Ruthy”, who greets everyone with her pleasant smile. Although Ruth is one of the smallest members of our class she has a big heart which is full of understanding as well as cheerfulness. Her outstanding character- istics are activeness and alertness. We all wish her the best of success for the future.
