THOMAS ARTHUR HARDING “philosopher” “Deep sighted in intelligence, ideas, atoms and influence.” Raven Society ; History Club ; Civics Club ; Daniel Society ; Publip Speaking Society ; Spanish Club ; Athletic Association; Junior Hi-Y ; Hi-Y; Class Historian; Manager Basketball Team, ’25; Mana- ger Football ' J ' eam, ’25; School Representative in National Oratorical Contest, ’25. Thomas has a heart as sound as a bell, and his tongue is the clapper, for what his heart thinks his tongue speaks. 4 FLORENCE ESTELLE HARRISON “flo” “At first she loved naught else but flowers And then she only loved the rose And then herself alone; and then — She knew not what; but now she knows.” Athletic Association; Raven Society; Glee Club; Double Quartette; Spanish Club. “Flo” is one of those sedate people who are al- ways full of mischief, yet serious at the time when everyone else is “caught in the act.” Bubbling over with enthusiasm, ever bent upon attracting the op- posite sex — at present, it is one of those fellows of the “hardy” type. 4 ROBERT WHITNEY HARWELL “bob” “He did well because he served the common good rather than his own will.” Athletic Association ; Associate Editor, Missile ; Chairman Photograph Committee, Roulette; Vice- Fres., Raven Society; Junior Hi-Y; Hi-Y; Civics Club; History Club; Treasurer, Athletic Association; Vice-President, Senior Class. Golden reports come as easily to Robert as trans- fers to a street-car conductor. He not only gets good reports, but he is a good worker and is always willing to do his part. We hope that he will have as much success hereafter as he has had in the cattle business. ---$ 27

ANTHONY ROSENSTOCK FISCHER “snaky” “Without him as a friend, no one would choose to live.’’ Daniel Society; Football Team (3 years) ; Basket- ball Team (2 years); Hi-Y ; Monogram Club; Pub- lic Speaking Society. We all like “Snaky.” It’s such an easy thing to do because he is such a good sport and so good- natured. He plays football well and basketball also; and his voice is often heard in the physics laboratory. There can’t be much gloom around when “Snaky” is there. Keep it up, you’re on the right track, “Snaky.” 4 NATHANIEL EULICE FRANKLIN “benjamin” “An experienced, industrous, ambitious boy.” Spanish Club; Winner Typewriting Certificate; Orchestra; Athletic Association. It is hard to think of this class without Eulice. He is always ready to help others, and with his perseverance he sets an example for others. With his quiet ways, he is like a familiar setting ; the place he holds in one’s heart is not fully known until he is gone. VIRGINIA RUFF ' IN GILLIAM “dumbbell” “So well to know.” Her own that what she wills to do or sav Seems wisest, virtuousest, discreetist, best.” Missile Reporter; Treasurer Freshman Club; So- phomore Club; Raven Society; Civics Club; His- tory Club; Page Society; Editor Missile; Girls’ Basketball Team; Associate Editor, Roulette; Asso- ciate Editor Missile; Vice-President, Student Council; Class Prophet. If you know anything funny, just tell it to Vir- ginia. She has a lively sense of humor and always sees the bright side of things. Virginia has shown us what a good editor she can be, and we expect much from her in the literary world. She is a demo- cratic type and is a very clever girl. - «§f 26

G MARY FRANCES HATCHETT “punk” ‘She is herself of best things the collection.” History Club; Daniel Society; Captain, Basket- bail Team, (’25-’26) ; Manager, Basketball Team, (’24-’2S) ; Vice-President Civics Club; Banjo-Uke Club; Y. W. C. A.; President, Senior Class; Secre- tary, Athletic Association. Can she play basketball? She doesn’t miss. We expect to hear some day that Mary Frances has become famous on the athletic field. Besides being a good basketball player, Mary F ' rances is a good all-round sport. She has plenty of courage and the kind of pluck that we admire in a girl. 4 ELIZABETH WINSTON LANIER “betsy” ‘‘How far that little candle throws her beams.” Page Society; Raven Society; Athletic Associa- tion; Civics Club; History Club; Friendship Club; Girls’ Chorus; Missile Reporter. You might think that Lizzie is quiet but you just ought to see her at a football game. She is a fine rooter and will yell when everybody else is bored. Sportsmanship, Lizzie; keep up the good work! 4 LENA LAVENSTEIN “billy do” “She doeth little kindnesses which most leave un- done or despise.” Raven Society; Athletic Association: Daniel So- ciety; History Club; Public Speaking Society. It is said that good things come in small pack- ages, but there’s always an exception to the rule ; one of these exceptions we find in Lena. She’s the kind of a girl that classmates ne ' er forget. Her sweet disposition will be always engraven in our minds, and we wish her success after bidding P. H. S. fare- well. 28 -
