NATALIE CHESBRO—“NAT” Natalie may also be classed among the few talented literary members of the class of '28. She has won prizes from her writings, and is now on the Bugle staff as Senior reporter. One of the outstanding characteristics ot this lass is her frankness. She is not ashamed to give her honest-to-goodness opinion on any subject regardless of what her hearers may think or how much they criticize. Every member of the class will miss her favorite expression, EDGAR COLEMAN—“GARHEART” One of the most popular boys of our class. Always waiting with a helping hand to do some service to the class. This was proved when he was elected one of the members of the National Honorary Society. At all dances and school activities Edgar is sure to be present to show all the girls a good time. His favorite flower is the “Marguerite,” a flower not so common but that which holds a very prominent place in his heart. Edgar has been an outstanding leader since his Freshman year. He is “not at the top, but climbing.” and we know that he will soon be at the top. AVROM DICKMAN—‘‘DICK,, The salesman of the class. Dick can make a sale where all others fail. If you doubt this statement just let him get sight of you when he has something to sell. Our prophesy is that youMl buy it! Our genius has imitative ability as shown by his success on committees and satisfactory filling of class offices. To top off his high school career he built up a dance orchestra composed of high school fellows with Dick himself at the piano. From the piano he is going to the pipe organ, and we hope to be enjoying his music over the radio soon. He seems to prefer the “Long” notes. GORDON EDGAR—“BUMPY” The treasurer of our class. The class showed their appreciation of his good work when they re-elected him. Although he is not very big, Bumpy has proved himself efficient on the football field. He is a very reliable chap and never causes any trouble to the teachers. We are somewhat doubtful as to his future occupation but it is rumored that he strongly leans toward a “Baker.”

CLAUD BERG—’BERGET Bergie is the Senior shiek, basket ball star, president of the Athletic Association, manager of the Executive Council, also of the football and basket ball teams. What more could you expect of a man? However, Bergie has one weakness which we cannot fail to mention and that is women. Oh Boy! he sure knows how to handle 'em. He is always good natured and out for a good time, but when it comes to reciting in class we all look to Bergie. He intends to take up social studies in some higher institution, and here’s to his certain success! BENJAMIN BURT—‘ BENNIE’ “Faithful Bennie.” He is well deserving of this phrase because he is one of those lads who wants an education badly enough to sacrifice a little pleasure for it. Whenever anyone wants a favor, Bennie is willing to oblige them if possible. He is a member of the Agricultural Department, and due to his project work, won a prize in the project contest at Harrisburg. Bennie’s car has for a long tim been one of the outstanding features of the scenery about the school house. KENNETH CARD—' BUTTERFLY” This studnt decided that he would like to be in our class, so he left his worthy classmates of last year and came to the brilliant Class of '28. There has been some discussion as to why he did this, and final reports are that a certain female members in our class, to whom he has pledged his heart, is the attraction. Butterfly always likes to spring surprises, and he does this often in English Class. For example, he hands in an essay of twenty-five hundred words on some unimportant author. MARJORIE CASKEY—“MARGE” Marjorie, coming from Wrights, joined our ranks when we were Freshmen. She readily won the admiration of her classmates and has proved to be a valuable member of the class. She recently exposed her literary ability by voluntarily contesting in a Lincoln Essay Contest and winning the beautifully engraved medal. She displayed her willing nature by being active on committees and working with the class. Marge intends to become a nurse, and we are sure she will succeed, as her smiling countenance would make a sick person well and a well person better.

CLARENCE ELLISON—“SCRUFFY” A great leader in the Tannery Tough Baseball Team and perhaps some day the star twirier for the New York Yarilcs. He is also one of Port's best linemen on the football squad. He is a quiet fellow until he comes to Spanish Class and then, Oh Boy! You’d think the Nicaraiiga rebellion had started again. He is a willing worker when it comes to helping the class earn money for the Washington •Trip. His future ambition is not known, but we hope it will be a success. T MARGARET EARNER—“FAT” Distinguished among her classmates because of her excessive weight. She is one of the outstanding gfcflfcfe of the champion basket ball team of 1928. She is frequently seen in the Prof’s office after school. We wonder why? She is very jolly and always ready for a lot of fun. She has a very beautiful voice and is often seen on the . fage rendering solos. She is an active member on all committees and always willing to work. Her future ambition is to be a physical educator, and here’s to your success, Fat. RUTH PERM—‘ ‘ RUTHIT A Ruth, being one of the most popular girls in high school, has been an inspiration to the whole class. When discouraged all we need is a taste of her good nature. When it comes to playing the piano she can’t be beaten. She is always the life of the party, and her witty remarks are enjoyed by all. Ruth has held many class offices, and can be depended upon to give the best she has, which is much better than the average. “Goodby, Ruth. It won’t be long now,” as of course He is hoping. ROBERT FORTNER—1-BOB’’ Bob’s approach toward the schoolhouse from his home at Wrights can easily be detected by his rambling “flivver.’’ Just the same he gets there and uses his time to the best advantage when he does. The above statement is confirmed by his being elected a member of the National Honorary Society. Preparing his lessons and speaking are hi-? hobbies. His future success, no doubt, lies in the field of agriculture, and we wish him lots of luck and success.
