ALICE ERB Shortie Commercial In the corridors, class room, or home room, one can often hear a student calling for Shortie. In answer to the call, comes forth a short, jolly, dark- haired girl. Her well-formed chin is instantly doubled into a million little circles of glee, as she greets you. She intends to obtain a position in an ollice where we are sure she will brighten many business hours with her smiles. CLINTON FELTON Sugar Technical Clint is dubbed Sugar because he is afraid that if he gets in the rain he will melt-fso she saysi. He hails from the wilds of Limerick. Clint is especially known for going with a certain girl and can be seen either pushing his bicycle or walking with this girl. Although he is not the biggest sheik in the Senior Class, he is one of them. Clint was the star center on the Senior Class basketball team and, also, can play his clarinet very well. Besides all of these, he has a melodious voice Ui and would have given Caruso a race for his money. RUTH FIRING Ruth Commercial Ruth is one of the best sports in the Senior Class. She is all for athletics, and played forward on the Varsity basketball team. Ruth is a good dancer and loves to sing, being one of the leading soloists in the Glee Club. She is very popular, and is always ready either for work or play. We do not know just what Ruth intends to do after her school career is over, but we are sure the Class of '27 wishes her all the luck in the world. Jizssuz Fnuss Freezie Commercial Miss F ries is the name we hear most. She is not very big, fneither is her head sizej, but oh! what a large capacity it has. One who has her friendship now will have it forever, because she is always the same Freezie. Jazz music is her hob- by. Pleasure never interferes when she must study. The best of success to you, Jessie. You sure- ly deserve it. Page Seventeen or gwbgi C 3 cj I F 'B xx

A JJ W-fwfxb 65-'-igggj-,gs ,fe !3fi 'g?i. , If NN EF 5 it MARIAN DILLMAN '6MflI'illn,, Commercial You've often seen her-she is one of our best dancers, and decidedly pretty, as anyone could tell from her picture. She was a member of the Com- mercial section, and, towards the close of the year, took a special examination in which she received a very high mark. In appreciation of her exception- al ability, a very good position was offered her. She is very witty and is always ready with some light reply to every query. LINwooD DRUMHELLER Red General This person is short and stocky in stature, with the prettiest locks of curly, strawberry-blonde hair you ever saw. And from this we derive his nick- name, L'Red. One of the main reasons why girls leave home is his radiant countenance and manly beauty. Red was seen as one of the ends on the football team, and, oh, what a star guard he was on that famous Wonder Five. Very few opponents every reached the basket when Red was on guard. He is bound to be a successful business man for he already knows how to balance a lead pencil over his right ear, and can always be found with one parked there. CARSON ELLIOTT Curse Technical All Hail! The President of the Senior Class! Salute the Star center of our Wonder Five,', the man who scored more points than any other player in the Eastern Pennsylvania Basketball League. He was pigskin passer on the varsity football team and discus-thrower on the track team. As the result of all these achievements, he has won for him- self the admiration of every skirt in the school fto the envy of F. P. and the rest of usb. So, hav- ing these multitudes at his beck and call, we do not doubt that he will become a very pious and well- liked minister. We need not wish him success be- cause he already has it assured him. WAYNE ELLIOTT Lunch Hooks Commercial Wayne was guard on the P. H. S. football team. and proved to be a bulwark on the defense. He has also earned his letter in track as a player-manager. Lunch Hooks is so good natured that we are com- pelled to place him in a class all by himself. He doesn't bother the women muchg he doesn't need to, they come up to him and bother him. He ex- pects to be an expert accountant. Good luck, Wayne! Page Sixteen

DONALD G-RIM Peter General Peter is one of the quietest boys in our Class. Studying under a great handicap fthe girls won't let him alonel, he makes a creditable showing in his school work. He is sincere in his friendship and is a pal worth having. Peter has a keen sense of sportsmanship and carries this instinct into his private life. He is one of the school's outstanding athletes, being a member of the baseball team for three years, and a member of the football team of 1926. CHARLES GRUBB Pete Commercial Charles has a very acute longing for food, the boys think this is due to his name being Grubb, Pete likes the women, especially the fascinating young shebas. The fellows call him Jenkins, the Second, because he works down in the office at the Y. M. C. A. He is always talking about the good times he has down at the Y , iWe often wonder whether he has any.l He is a regular shorthand shark, and takes down those heiroglyphics as slow- ly as it is possible for Mr. Strange to dictate. He expects to be a secretary at the Y. M. C. A. after he has finished school. JULiUs GUSSMAN Caesar Classical Cmsar, one of the happiest fellows in P. H. S., is just a concentrated morsel of pep and good humor. He has a permanent smile, and is always ready and most willing to participate in some fun. He was one of the distinguished and veteran tenors of the Boys' Glee Club, being an active mem- ber in its three years of existence, fpoor fellowsll. He has also shown himself to be an able and skill- ful actor, making a great success of his part in the Shutting o' the Door, one of the three one- act plays given this year. Everyone will miss this condensed bit of bubbling-over humor and jollity, with his wonderful quality of being a good gloom- chaser. LETTIE HAAS Let,' Commercial To know her is to love her, and to love her for all time, That describes Let. She is one of the leading girls of the Commercial section and shows great ability in bookkeeping. Unless one knows her very well, one might think that she is quiet and aloof, but she really isn't anything like that. She's an all-around good sport, and wherever she goes there is sure to be fun. We wish her all the success in the world, and we're sure she'll make good. Page Eighteen
