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

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

, F K XD x f 5' Q ESTHER M. HAINES Esther Q General A studious little lady, fond of work, Assign her what you will, she'll never shirkfi Esther, through her high school career, has been outstanding among her fellow-students be- cause of her school spirit, her response in the class- room, her bright ideas, and her willingness to work. However, Math has always been her hobby. But she has not allowed boring theorems to make her crabby, for she is a good sport and willing to par- take in almost anything. Esther has recently been overcome with the long hair craze, but some at- tractive young barber has evidently overcome her to a greater extent than the craze. GEORGE HALLMAN Herk General About five years ago Pottstown High School took in one of the most honorable freshmen ever to enter the famous institution-George Hallman, by name, afterwards christened Herk fprobably be- cause of his resemblance to Hercules.J Herk is a very loyal member of this school-attending at least two sessions a week. Somehow or other, even with all the fair damsels in the school, he likes to hang around the Manatawny. If you ask him why, he'll usually say: Oh, because the air is so much more refreshing along the water, or because he likes to hear the bull-frog band. Herk is very studiousg he takes three or four books home every day ffor the dogs to play withl. We are sure that in time he will conquer his extreme bashfulness 1?l particularly toward the female sex. CLIFFORD W. HIGH Tippy Q General Tippy is one of the best natured boys of our class. He came into the limelight in his freshman year, which numbers back five or six years. He is not crazy about studying, having played varsity football and baseball for two years, and also, with his class basketball team. Whatever Tippy may undertake, we all wish him the best of luck. GLADYS HIGH Glad', Commercial Here is one of our jolly classmates who is never satisfied unless she is laughing or talking, or at least making someone else laugh. When Gladys is asked to write a theme on My favorite game, she always chooses basketball. We wonder why? We do not know just what she expects to take up when she is out of school, but most likely she will tickle the keys. We all wish her the best of luck. Page Nineteen NMW
