I I ESTHER FOY Quite unlike her relative, the comedian, Eddie Foy, Esther is rather quiet and sedate. Nat- urally, with characteristics like these, she has always been will- ing Lo work for the good of the class Cand herselfl. Also her continual silence makes her a valuable asset in a Senior class meeting. HELEN GRAF You all know Helen. Helen, who arrives before, with, or after the little bell tinkles. When before, her countenance is naturalg when with, smiling, but when after, flushed and frowning. Helen has been known to remain at school dur- ing the noon hour for the pur- pose of being near several boys who also remain. Also for the fact that she lives rather far away. ISABEL GRAF Isabel has the same trouble with the little bell that Helen has, for the simple reason that Helen and Isabel are usually to- gether. By actual CID count, Isabel has failed in daily recita- tions but nineteen times in four years. Once -dare we disclose this secret-Hush!-Isabel had five off in deportment. But so did everyone else. HOWARD HARRIS Howard is our all around ath- lete. He can play anything from che s to a jewsharp, in- culding football. In the latter game, he, as Half 'Back Harris, is usually associated with Cap- tain Miller. I-Ie is a confirmed ladies' man and is always in the lace for almost any of them. f ' in he R e Q -'25

v' l LORNA DRESSER Lorna has literally danced her way through High School, stop- ping here and there to add her name to a ninety list or to ac- quire another oflice. Has been generally characterized in all annuals as a flirt, but all who know her realize that this is a mistake. An energetic class worker, whose work might easily be seen by a review of past entertainments. MARviN ERB A good consistent worker, more firm in character than the rock of Gibraltar and as reliable as you can find. He never likes to volunteer to Work, but if hard pressed Will do so. Experience has proved this. He has in him the stuif that men are made of and has high hopes along this line which we hope to see grati- fled. GLADYS FAUST Gwladyss is a worthy rep- resentative of the class in all its qualities tgood or badl. The luckiest person in school, for she is never known to study. Why the mere sight of a book might--might-well, words can't truthtully express the result. Though it may be tragedy to read her name, she abounds in mirthful humor and such a thought as tragedy, even Ham- let, is far from her mind. NELLIE FISCHER Needless to say, she inherits her father's musical ability. Coupled to this she has the re- markable faculty of usually say- lngthe wrong thing at the right time, being in this way a great help to the Annual: Nellie help- ed make the Senior circus the success that it was.

X, J J 5' uw., N A. .,, ,,VA ,, gf' M . , ' ESTHER HURST i Esther is the ablest politician in the Senior class. She has already decided, however, to have nothing to do with Wo- man's Rights, preferring to mar- ry a man who is easily influ- enced to her own ideas. We would suggest-but never mind, Esther has a mind of her own. She came to P. H. S. this year, having had her iirst three years at Macy. RUTH HOFFMAN The only direct descendant of the Puritans that we have in our class. Prim and modest and quiet. she has aided greatly in raising the general average of the class. To Ruth, one of the mos: regrettable facts of her H. S. course was that she had to laugh, not smile, for she has a constant smile, but laugh at the Senior circus. RUTH JONES To show the practical side of her character we might state that Ruth, with no more Domes- tic Science than is now taught here, makes the best fudge ever. When it is particularly good she brings it to 'school to the detri- ment of deportment grades. She has already decided to be a slum worxer, but has yet to ask my mother. DOROTHY LOCKWOOD Dorothy enjoys the record of being one of the most original girls in the class. She often shows this when a. sudden ques- tion interrupts a dream. A pleasant companion and a zeal- ous worker. Being of a cheer- ful disposition and always wear- ing a welcome smile, she has become one of our most beloved and honored classmates. iaaaf i ss so so i is ss o s 1 . 1 w we .D :ze ' '
