She always has the windows of her heart open to the day, not only to the day, but to everyone. VVhen you meet Viola, she makes you feel as if she had known you forever. Viola is really a good scholar in both senses of the word good We couldn't imagine Viola in any act of misbehavior. Don't think that Viola is one of these somber, goody goody persons. She is full of fun and those who know her best will bear witness to this fact. Viola is noted for the compre- hensive and full recitations she gives in Literary Digest class. Viola expects to go to Pitt next year, and, if she does, we know that she will make good there as she has done in P. H.

If you ever hear anyone say, Let's have a party, picnic, a pie- social, you'll know Palmer's near for-that's Palmer all over. Ener- getic, fun-loving, industrious, attractive, and business-like, Palmer has proved a member that our class could not have done without. Palmer has quite a large bank account because he has always collected money for everything that comes along, such as Mirrors, class dues, Biirror cuts, etc. Since the rest of us are optimist's Palmer declares he is a pessimist just to be contrary. But just look at his picture and you'll know that he really isn't one. Palmer is going to college next year to take up electrical or mechanical engineering. But we know The world by him will yet be shook, ' It is in nature's plan.

T H E M I R- R O R LAURA REISHEL Lollie English Fourse Senior Play, '19 Glee Flub, '16, '17 Shall I couzpare lhee to a S1lllIHIF7',S day? Thou art more I0-rely and more teu1pe1'az'e. Oli! blithe spirit, whither goest thou when thou departest from our midst? VVe have certainly enjoyed the four years that you have spent with us. You will never know how devotedly we all adore you. The days that you were absent were dark and dreary and we just longed for you and your cheery smile. Laura has a habit of calling everybody sweety. Yes, both male and female. Laura has a sweet voice and often entertains us by singing. just as a precaution we want to tell you not to be alarmed when a few years from now a Victor Record comes out with a song sung by Laura Reishel. 1 BENJAMIN RITTER Ben Scientific Course Guard on B. B. Team at Harrisburg Academy Secretary of A. A. at Harrisburg Academy Nor his the form, nor his the eye That yozrtlzful zizairiens were iz'0n'z' to fly .Xt the beginning of this year we decided not to admit anyoneelse to our class. VVell, we lived up to this decision until one day a nice young man came into our midst, smiled upon us, and asked to be admitted to our happy group. That smile would melt a heart of stone, so conse-- quently Ben's request was granted. Benny has an inveterate love for maidens and the Lab. But let me tell you, if you have the blues and want to keep them, don't go near Benny, for if you do, theflittle b-lue imps will surely forsake you. His laughter is as contagious as a disease. Ben will go to the University of Pennsylvania and study dentistry or engineering. We hope it is dentistry for then we can pretend We have a tooth-ache and go to see him every day. ELVIE C. SANDSTROM uxfen Commercial Course Her voice is sweet and low. Iilvie is a very quiet, good-natured girl. You must not think that, because she is quiet, she does not like fun and a good time. Elvie's one trouble is that she does not speak loud enough in class and for that rea- son people arel always reminding her of it. Does she get angry? No. She just smiles and goes on. Here is a girl that does not fail her short- hand class when they get stuck on a word. She is always ready to help those who need it. You would not find her going back on a friend. Naturally Elvie has won the love and esteem of all who know her. After school, Elvie expects to do stenographical work, and we know that she will be a success.

Team, '18, '19 Asst Business llanager of llirror, '18 I framed his tongue to music I armed his hand with skill, I moulriarl his face to beauty And his heart the throne of will. Bob has been with our class for four years and we count him a valuable asset. XVhen you first meet Bob, you think you know him but you soon find you are mistaken for every day you discover a new trait. God did his best work when he made a man and Bob can be called a man in every sense of the word. Bob will enter Penna. State College in the fall. All we have to say is that we are sorry we cannot all go with him. LI LLIAN STAPLES Scientific Course Jr. Red Cross Luncheon Committee, '18 lVith tears and laughter for all z'in1e. ' Pleasingly plump. jovial. fun-loving, sympathetic Lillian. If we ever hear a low chuckle and then a sudden outburst, we know that Lillian is near at hand. She just simply can't be good but bubbles over with fun all the time. If you do not believe this, just stay in school some day at noon and watch her perform. But in spite of her fun-loving disposition, she is always ready to sympathize with and help a brother in distress. She is a veritable good Samaritan. lVe do not know what Lillian intends to do but we do know that the world will be brightened by the rays of sunshine that she sends forth. GEORGIE STITELER George English Course Cheer leader, l19 Four Minute Speaker, '18 Iz s the sang ye sing an' the smiles ye wear Tlzafs amakin' the sunshine e:'ery1L'lzerc'. Have you ever heard a muttered guttural monosyllable more easily said than written and shortly afterwards seen a little girl with a big smile? lYell, that's Georgie. She can sing like a bird, dance like a fairy and stand up for her rights like a rebel. Not least among her talents is her cheerleading. Many were the times we had to resort to BIusterine'l or Sloan's after Georgie had made us cheer at a B. B. game. lVe can liken Georgie somewhat to Alexander the Great for she has conquered the heart of every Senior and now sighs for more hearts to con- quer: never fear, she'll get them too for she is used to having her own way. We do not know exactly what are Georgie's plans for the future, but whatever they are, she will never go under for it is just natural for her to come out on top every time.
