EDITH HILL 6'Edith,' Commercial Hail to one of the jolliest members of our class! Edith's motto is, Fun first, lessons afterwardsf She always wears a blue sweater, and uses the pockets of it to carry a supply of chewing gum. If you ever want to find her, look for Gladys High. Edith's talent is typing, and we all wish her success. EDWARD HOFFMAN Ed', Classical Behold our distinguished scholar and student, the honorable Edward Hoffman. He loves to de- vote his valuable time to leisure. We would know his unmistakable swagger in any crowd. He is one of that class that accomplishes an A in Latin- all praise to them! He has an appreciation for the higher arts, amongst them, poetry. He is well- known in literary circles, which may be of benefit when he enters his career as a lawyer. NATHAN HOFFMAN Hoggie,' Technical What Price Glory Hoggie,,' so called because he likes to wallow up to his ears in work, has the true school spirit. You will find him in all of our high school activi- ties, and in all the pictures of this book. No, he does not try to hide his light underneath a bushel, but then, why should one when one has the stuff? He hopes to be a lawyer, and we know that he will succeed as he is a go-getter. Watch out, Darrow! GEORGE HUGHES Hughes General Hughes came to Pottstown from Collegeville as a Senior. In football he became quite a star, his talks at the rallies also inspired us very much to attend the games, and to see his skill. After the football season closed, Hughes remained idle, with the exception of driving out to the Rocks to eat his lunch. When the track season opened, he came back out of his dormant state, and has proved him- self tn be the able and efficient captain of our most successful track team. Page Twenty

, 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

JUANITA JEFFERIES Juanita General Juanita is one of the most earnest young wo- men of the Senior Class. She makes good marks and earns them, too, for she studies hard. She is well-known throughout the school and is well liked by all who know her. She has had a rather diliicult time of it this year, as illness has kept her out of school a large part of the time. FLORENCE JOHNSTON Floodie , Technical Floodie has been one of the most popular of our Seniors. For nearly two years she was man- ager of the Girls' Basketball team. The teachers will all tell you that she was a most brilliant stu- dent, and that she is very witty. Toward the end of this year, she was forced to leave school because of sickness, but we are told that she is improving steadily-which only goes to prove that you can't keep a good man down. MARGARET KEEN Marg General Good goods comes in small packages, Cand so does poisonl. Marg is a very small girl with a large heart and sunny disposition. Her companion- ship is valued greatly by all the girls who know her, but, lately, most of her time seems to be taken up by a certain boy in whom she seems to be great- ly interested. Marg expects to be a school marm in the near future. MIRIAM KEIM Mim', General Seldom can't, seldom don't, Never shan't, never won't. at Mim made her entrance into P. H. S. by means of a reputed vehicle-one of Lincoln's poor relations. She, fMim, not the speedcarl, is a bundle of good nature, well seasoned with sugar, spice, and everything nice. Here we have a math- ematical shark, if ever there was one. For all her studious appearance, an imp of mischief often comes to light. Mim has a hankering for physical educa- tion. More than one person will yet be put through his daily dozen. Page Twenty one
