Max has not been at all indolent during his four years in High School for he has not only proved very industrious and efficient in his work in the Commercial building but has also found time to act as a stage-hand and to perform in several plays. And Max's acting deserves special mention for he has taken roles ranging from the hero to the chief butler. flax will probably continue to display energetic traits for next year we will find him employed with the Gulf Refining Company.

In every glance there broke without control The flashes of a bright but troubled soul. Iim's most noticeable feature is her long golden hair. She has never disclosed the reason why she has not succumbed to the popular fad .if bobbing it, but we presume that she has a good reason for Em doesn't do or refrain from doing Without a reason. That she is energetic and ambitious, is proved by her attendance at Indiana Normal last summer in order to advance her education more rapidly. Ein intends to finish her course at Normal and then teach. We admit that she has a good start. VVe wish you much success and good luck, Em, Merrill Schrock Schrocky 'fFat A. A.

We somehow believe that Shrocky agrees with the age-old poet who says Was ever book, containing such vile matter so fairly bound? Although Cicero's Orations is not fairly bound we sometimes feel that Merrill thinks these or even worse thoughts when he views the Cicero book placidly lying on the desk seeming to gloat in the fact that its secret is safe forever. It sure keeps Merrill guessing to figure out just which passage hliss Brown is going to call on him for. But, seriously speaking, we feel sure that lllerrill does not let Cicero prey upon his mind. Life is too short for him to ponder and fret over the words of an orator, long since dead. He finds a way to get some joy out of life.

If one is merely within speaking distance of her, he cannot be lonesome or blue for she is the peppiest little fun-maker P. H. S. has had for a long time. She is always laughing, or perhaps more properly giggling, joking and talking-but that doesn't say we don't like her for that wouldn't be true. Olive can make a smile appear where a frown has been a mo- ment before. Olive has not yet decided what she will do next year but we have our suspicions -are they well founded, Olive? Lee R. Roach Roachic English Course Track 243 Football '26, A. A. '24, '26, Red Vross '24 ,'26. Play zzof for gain, but sport. Lee is one person in High School who always has a perfect excuse for tardiness. The car was late, seems to be as potent as certain Arabian words once were. Strange to say, Lee seldom uses his excuse. probably due to the fact that he came to our school at the beginning of the year and is still on his good behavior. Lee is not without honor on the athletic field. As one can see by his list of activities, he was in the track team in 1024 and the football team in 1926. If you want to know how good a player he is, ask some- one who saw him. The answer will not be derogatory. Thus far Lee has not announced what he will do after school closes but we wish him luck in whatever he decides to do. s Anne Orrell Hampson Rodkey Rum Anne Classical Course Debating Club '26, American Education Speech '26g A. A. '24, '25, '26, ' Oliver Goldsmith '23g Class Secretary '22, '24, American Education VVeek Play '23, Her soul shines forth from her eyes of blue. Petite demure and a blonde-a beautiful blonde-with eyes of L7 7 blue-that is our Anne although what this tiny morsel lacks in size she more than makes up in personality, capability and name. This proves the old, old saying that good goods comes in small packages. Although Anne is usually very peaceful, she sure rattles off the French when she is cross. It seems a shame that such a wee person should have such a long walk to school. However, she never wants for a companion-at least part of the way. Anne is one of these girls who always has a lfrank attitude about her. Anne either expects to enter Hood College next year or Drexel In- stitute. The class of '26 wishes you Hbeaucaup de success Anne. Twerzty-ji

Ilut Shirley has not drudged to get enough credits to grad- uate with us for she was our cheer-leader this year, was property man- ager for several plays, and carreid effectively the title role in Rosa Vera. Can you blame us for being proud of Shoes? Shirley will study Art at Ifdinboro Normal next year. If she is as energetic there as she has been in P. H. S. she will be teaching before long.

But, nevertheless, she has been with us throughout our four years in High School and we have not found her wanting in anything we have asked her to do. They tell us, though, that she isn't so quiet as she may seem, especially in Room S. VVe'll have to believe them for she is not at all loquaeious when out- side of that room.

The Smiths are well represented in the class of '26 and it is well they are for what orgztnization or class can be successful in this day and age without having a Smith or two in its ranks? And this Smith is quiet, too, indeed so quiet that we had difficulty in blaming him for anything. Blair probably does not display his wares as much as he might, but because he doesn't don't think he has none to display, for Blair is too retiring to boast of himself. VVe can't place Blair either for next year for he hasn't told us what he will do so that we might tell the world of it in case he were too bash- ful to do so. Arveda has not informed us as to what she will do next year but sht gg will undoubtedly be successful in whatever her future work may l I . A4 Ullfj
