Twenty-two Mrs. Laura B. Houser, R. N. Victoria General Hospital, Halifax, Nova Scotia House Mother. Resident Nurse Did you ever return to your room one day to find a blue card s'aring you in the face? Yes, it's the lady with the cards, Mrs. Houser. She has the endless job of checking our rooms to ascertain their cleanliness. Mrs, Houser, who is also a registered nurse, lives up to Ben Franklin's saying, Hn ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as can be seen by the way that she administers the ailing. MISS OLGH RUTH HRISKO, R. N. Hllentown General Hospital Resident Nurse The common saying, or name, I-lngel of Mercy, could not be more appropriately applied to a nurse. Miss Hrisko is always there with a helping hand when we are in need of some type of pill or an- other. She always goes about her duties in a precision-like way and with a pleasant smile on her face. MRS. THELMH BRKER Ofiice Secretary. Public Relations Did you ever wonder who sent out all those catalogues that you re- ceived before you came to the school? You may not realize it, but countless thousands have been posted by this hard-working secre- tary. This busy little secretary, Mrs. Baker, always has a pleasant smile and will always cheerfully answer your questions. MRS. HGNES M. BUCHENHORST Sacred Heart Commercial School Muhlenberg College Secretary to Director of Courses Mrs. Buchenhorst took over the job as Secretary to the Director of Courses during the middle of the year. It is always a hard job to fill in where someone else has left off, and Mrs. Buchenhorst is do- ing her job admirably. From the short time that she has been here, we see that she is very efficient and friendly to all.

MR. IRWIN W. KEHS TO THE CLASS OF '50 There is a spirit that pervades Perkiomen which leaves its mark upon every student who en- ters its doors. On some, its mark is plainly visible, on others, it is only visible to the person himself, but it is there nevertheless, and will show itself at times. This spirit is best expressed by .true manhood, putting away those things which are petty and unworthy and by clinging to those things which make the true man. This is the spirit for which Perkiomen stands. ln the classroom and all other activities, this spirit is seen and needed. Let your motto be Don't flinch, don't foul and hit the line hard. 'Your ability and fortitude will be taxed to the utmost whether you go to work or to college. l hope Perkiomen School has given you a sound code of Christian ethics with which you are able to combat obstacles which all of us must meet. Always have faith and confidence which will overcome fear. Keep all old friends made at Perkiomen and cultivate as many new ones as possible, then you are rich and your happiness is assured. You have to get a larger outlook upon life and a greater sense of personal obligation to yourself and your fellow men. Keep your visions of life right. Keep looking ahead. May God bless you and sustain you, is my earnest wish and prayer. Twenty four
