'1'hat's just the way Joe is, at home any place. Wlhen he came from the eighth grade, he made himself at home and started to build up the popularity that he now possesses. Joe has two hobbies, first Athletics and second, being President. Joe has been one of our best athletes, taking part in all sports. In foot- ball he was classed as half the team, won his letter in basketball, and in track gave them all a chase. Being President is the second of Joe's hobbies. He has been president of eyerything in H. S. except the girls' club and the Board of Education. Joes future is still a mystery to us but we have a feeling that he'll follow Bill to Cornell to study floriculture-or maybe to Florida.

He has successfully managed the business of thc Torch and Mirror and the A. A. He always hurries. Sometimes we talk to Curry and he doesn't seem to hear us. Is the real reason for this that john is not interested in what we are doing or has he too much business to attend to? How about it, John? john expects to continue being a business manager. Wle don't doubt that he will be successful after his efficient management of business in P. H.

Tlzere's notlzing ill can dwell in such a temple. Mildred is one of the fifty-fifty kind-that is, she is neither quiet nor is she noisy for Mid rather strikes a happy medium. Bhd has not been in the limelight so often but, nevertheless, she has done her bit. Mildred is rather athletically inclined, for, as you notice, she was a member of the Interclass basketball team in '25. BIid is also much interested in art and they tell us she has done some work quite above the average in drawing. Mid intends to enter the business world next year in the role of Somebody's Stenog. Here's to your success, 3Iid.

THE MIRROR Vivian Leona Colin English Fourse Red Cross '23, '24, '25, '26, A. A. 225, '26, Red Cross Speech '25. She listened zvitlz a flirting blush, tuitlz zlowzzmst eyes, and nmrles! grace. This demure, dainty, diminutive creature is Vivian. She walks along quietly and sedately, and drops her eyes when another's are bent upon her. Of a reticent nature, Vivian rarely speaks, but the calmness of her face which is occasionally broken by a shy smile seems to indicate gentle thoughts and calm desires. Vivian is rather hard to become acquainted with, but when once you know her, you find her a loyal friend, and by no means a shunner of fun. Although Vivian likes French, since she is a little French herself, she expects to take up stenographic work in an office. Qur best wishes are with you, Vivian. Ralph C. Couser 'fhiugs' Jr. Red Cross '23, '2-1, '25, '26, A. A. '25, '26, Elson Art Speech '26 Silence is golden. Without a doubt Ralph feels that silence is golden. If so, he can consider himself truly rich Hut, seriously speaking, Ralph has an advant- age over most of us. He is not of a talkative nature and thus escapes the danger of being reprimanded in class for whispering. Someone informed us that Ralph was dreadfully shy when in the presence of pretty girls, but from all appearances that person was either telling a falsehood or was badly misinformed. VVe have not discovered what Ralph is going to do after school is over, but we are sure that he will make a success of whatever it is. Good luck to you, Ralph. Sarabelle Covner Sara Kinks English Course A A. '26, jr. Red Cross '23, '24, '25, 726, American Education Speech '26, And wlzatewr sky's above me, Here's a lzeart for any fate. That's just Sara. Have you ever seen her downhearted or dis- couraged? VVC haven't. Even Argumentations and Senior themes do not dampen her spirits or dull her effervescent nature. Sara is a good listener and consequently is always in demand. You never see her alone, she is always listening to some thrilling or otherwise interesting episode, and she can usually exchange just as interesting an experience. Kinks is one of the little girls in our class, but she tinds it no disad- vantage. Sarabelle hasn't quite decided what she will do next year, but we know she will go on smiling as she has during her four years in P. H. S. Seven

XK'hat an asset it is to have both of 'these prop-- erties. And what an asset you are to the class, if you have both music and charm. That is the reason why ,lane is such an asset to us. She has music and charm. She has displayed her ability as accompanist in chapel for the last year and no other than .lane's music has called us to chapel. If you wish to find out about her charm, write to a certain person who is at Cornell training to become a florist. VVe expect Jane to go to tfornell but she hasn't told us whether or not we are right in our expectations. Mary Elmira Dormire . Yi l Classical Course Red Cross '23, '24, '25, '26, A. A.

Judging from her appearance, hlary is a quiet, unassuming girl, who would rather take life as a calm stretch of contentment than as a conglomerate mass of eventful incidents. But, yet, there is that in her eye, which makes us think she in- tends to do something worthwhile-to reach out and grasp for the higher things in life, for she has a certain determined manner of treating things in general, which leads us to believe all this. How about it, Blary? Alary intends to go to Indiana Normal this fall to continue her studies. Then, when she has received her diploma from that institu- tion, she will probably assume the role of schoolmarm unless some other path attracts her-Good luck, llary. Charles Ryder Emerick Chuck English Course Glee Club '23, '24, '25, '26, Rising of the lNIoon '26, A A. '23, '24, '25, '26. Rare compound of oddity, frolic and fun, Who relislzed a joke and rejoiced in a pun. Behold, our righting, faithful, flirty, fickle and fearless Chuck, Every moment or so Chuck drops a witty saying and, if anyone misses the joke, a few minutes will bring forth another without fail. His motto is I should worry. Life has a cheery outlook for him, for he will not let cares oppress him. Have you ever heard him sing? If you haven't, you don't know what you are missing. lVhat would P. H. S. have ever done without Chuck's tenor voice to grace the Glee Club. And Chuck insists, in case someone doubts the fact, that it is tenor he sings-not bass. Chuck has not decided what his future profession will be, but the hopes of the class are with him. .Yin ff
