GEORGE GRABE—“GRABA” Our class president. George has always worked hard for his class, but still never neglects his school work. He is a very quiet chap and the fair sex does not interest him. He is one of the members of the National Honorary Society and has shown his merit on the football field as McKean county’s best center. He is a born leader and uses his good judgment in all his undertakings. He intends to continue his studies at State College, and we are sure that success awaits him there. LEONA HASKINS—“TONY” Leona is a very quiet girl—never having much to say, but when it comes to her school work, Leona sure is on the job. She is neve-satistied even by her best work. She always is thinking “It can be better.” She is willing to do all she can for her class, everyone admiring her for her high scholarship and dignity. We here wish you all kinds of success in your future undertakings, Leona. RONALD HUNTER—“PUSSY” Widely famous as a football player; and due to his lootball playing he has acquired many female friends, in nearby towns to whom he still sticks. Seme time ago Hunter began work on an aeroplane, and he sure has done some fine work on it. It is far from a toy and we all really expect him to fly soon. Pussy is a very “stand-pat ’ sort of a fellow and does not choose to be trampled on. Like the rest of the class Hunter has for his motto “Aim High.’ We hope he strikes his goal and we are sure he will. RUTH JOHNSON—'-DIZZY” A very lively member of the Senior Class. She deserves much credit for her faithful ser-vics in cheer-leading during the last three years. At all school activities Ruth is sure to be present and helps to make them a big success, as was shown at the football banquet this year. She is liked by everyone, especially the young men from nearby towns. A new boy friend every Monday morning. Her chief hobby is coming late for school, always stating for her excuse that the clocks must be wrong. And here, your classmates join in wishing you success, Ruth.

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.

NAOMI JUNE—“CHUG” Our honor student and willing worker. Naomi joined our class in her Junior year, and has won the love and admiration of all her classmates. Her name often appears on the honor roll, and helping the rest of us with our work means nothing to Naomi. It is rumored that the ring that Naomi wears on the third finger of her left hand means only love and happiness in the future, and all her classmates join in wishing her success. CARL LINNAN—‘•DUCKFOOT” A genius when it comes to cracking jokes on his friends at their expense. Full of fun, oftentimes bursting out in laughter to the awe of the other pupils. At the beginning of the year his hair became very unruly and he found himself in dire necessity of a “Newcomb.’' He certainly acquired this necessity and try and get “her!” He is perfectly at home on football field and basket ball court, doing his share in winning victories on both. In the near future we are sure of seeing him famous as an electrician. RUBY LOVELL—‘ ‘SKEETER “Our Bride.’’ Ruby has been an active member of our class through our high school career having held several class offices. She also has been active on all committees. Ruby was one of our star forwards on the girls' basket ball team. In March she sprang the greatest surprise of the school year by becoming the bride of Kieth McKervy. Congratulations and best wishes for many years of happy married life. HELEN E. NEWLAND—‘-HEN” Helen has been a member of our class since we started in our school career, and has been an indispensable member throughout. Her motto is “work before play.” and when playtime comes Helen is there to participate. She is always on duty, whether it be early or late and can always be relied upon, no matter how great the task. Helen never causes any trouble to classmates or faculty, and we are sure that she will make a name for herself in whatever she undertakes. Helen’s future plans are still unknown to us. but we are sure that she will never be heard of as a physics teacher—we wonder why!!
