THE PAPYRUS '23 e LAURENCE MURFIN Cheerful looks make every dish a feast. Billy was born May 10, 1905 southeast of Pendleton. He is one of our best speech-makers. He makes frequent visits to Markleville and is said to have quite a case with the twins. Laurence is contemplating going to Colorado this summer. Pres. '23, Business Mgr. PAULIENA GAITHER Let her own work praise her. Pauliena became a member of the class in the seventh grade. She was born Oct. 3, 1905 at Anderson, Ind. Much credit is due her for our annual. Paul- iena is one of our A students but never-the-less is always readyq for a good time. She will enter De Pauw University next fall. Editor-in-chief, Glee Club. V CECIL LA FUZE 5 Many a man's popularity is due to what he doesn't say. Doc was born at Liberty, Ind., Sept. 27, 1904 and entered P. H. S. as a Sophomore. He is very quiet, but that may be ac- counted for in his interest in the radio. He is also a good saxa- phone player. Basketball '22, 23. ELIZABETH SEYBERT Fair faces need no paint. Elizabeth first saw the light of day Nov. 3, 1905. Country air has made her a fun-loving and popular friend of everyone and she is always ready for en- tertainment. Her chief enter- tainment is to ride in a Ford. Good luck. Literary editor, Glee Club. Page 12

THE PAPYRUS '23 Not much is to be said of our Sophomore year. All of us seemed to be a little more advanced than when we had left P. H. S. the spring before. Several of the girls had done up their hair, a few boys had donned long trousers and quite a few had improved in looks. Our old officers were exhausted by reasons of their various duties, so we held a class meeting and elected new ones. Our first business engagement was held at the Pendleton Fair where we learned that several of our pretty girls were born saleswomen and, where quite a large sum of money was added to our slim account. Many social events were held this year, one that was espec- ially enjoyable being the Weiner roast at Idlewold Park, carefully chaper- oned by Miss Elvin. Bonfires, races, buns, marshmallows and a few weiners figured in the entertainment. As Juniors we were naturally the most important class in the world- in our estimation. We had for our President, Donald Dennis, who had served us faithfully the year before. Cecil La Fuze was Vice-President, Pauliena Gaither and Helen Rider were the supporting cast. We had sev- eral delightful parties-a particularly entertaining one on Christmas and the morning after-but the banquet was the climax of the entire year. The hall was elaborately decorated in the class colors, with a great dome as the unusual feature. A At the end of the Junior year, our president, Donald Dennis, and our classmate, Helen Frampton deserted us and were united in the bonds of holy matrimony. This left us Presidentless at the beginning of the last lap. Thereupon we elected the Hon. Lawrence Murfin as chief executive, a place which he has filled very commendably. We have not had many parties this y ear, but the ones we have had will linger in our memory forever-for in- stance, when Casey drank the cream. Our boys have been unusually active in athletics. In basketball Rus- sell Koeniger, Elbert Gustin, Arthur Stanley, Otto Crosley, Robert Jones and Ralph Studley have honorably represented the class. We have some creditable debaters, also, some of the boys and girls would rather argue than eat. So. considering all things, we think the class of '23 is a mighty good class. But as Solomon says-'Let another man praise thee' so we will bring this to a close. As we approach this, the end of our Senior year in dear old P. H. S. a feeling almost of sadness comes over us. We realize now, as never before, that the days our elders have termed our 'happiest days' are drawing to an unwilling close. We also realize that with the aid of a justly revered faculty, these years have Htted us in a little measure to go bravely forth and fight life's battles. And as if knowing our worthiest aims. Kipling has written a poem-our poem, we call it, expressing them for us. Go to your work and be strong, halting not in your ways, Balking the ond half-won, for an instant dole of praise. Stand to your work and be wise- certain of sword and pen Who are neither children or Gods, but men, in a world of men . THDYAWCQ 'MW TTWMW Page 11 ' ' 'W' i

THE PAPYRUS 23 RUSSELL KOENIGER It pay to wear a smiling face. Sandy was born in the villa of Huntsville Aug. 6, 1904. His notorious grin has won him many friends among his class- mates, teacher and outsiders. He isn't at all afraid of night air. KATHERINE KEESLING Oh, listen gods, and hear my heavenly voice. Katherine was born in the famous month of August on the 10, 1905. She is interested in all the class affairs and her home has been the scene of many merry parties. Katherine will take up a commercial course this summer. Photography, Circul- lation Manager. GERALD NCRRIS , Who said he was bashful? Perce was born August 9, 1904, at Elwood, Indiana. He is quite a favorite among the fair sex. You would never recog- nize him the bashful blushing boy that entered-our Freshmen Class. Pres. '20, Basketball '23. Business Mgr. HELEN VANHOY She is littleg She is wise, She's a terror for her size. Helen was born March 3, 1905, and is one of those famous ten who have been with us from Genesis to Revelations. Thex ilash of those snappy brown eyes is always respected. We used to think Cupid held her heart out West but-well, you can ask Helen about that. Cal- endar, Glee Club. Page 13
