THE MIRROR Twila Olive Tate Dick Tot Shorty English Course A. A. '25, '26, Glee Club '23, '24, '25, '26g Organized Chorus '2S. Her nzirllz.---oh 'mvzs sjmrtz'f'c' as ever took wing From the heart with II burst, like the wilflhird in spring. The term large is characteristic of '1'wila. Not only is it descrip- tive of her statue but it is also true of her nature, for Twila is very gen erous. She is something of a dreamer, we fear, for we often find her gazing dreamily through the window and we frequently wonder what she is thinking about. She has never chosen to reveal her thoughts, however, so she must have a secret stowed away in that mind of hers. Twila does. not know what she will do next year, but she has inti- mated that she might go to Youngstown. Don't forget us entirely Tot, Jeanette Treharne Janie Janet Commercial Course Red Cross '23, '26, A. A. '23, '26, Red Cross Speech 26. Classnote Reporter '25. About her fair, sweet face all Bright 'is a c01z.s'l'aut halo of calm d0l1'glzt. Jeannette is rather backward .in S, but, if you want to incl her in her element, just hop over to Room C, for Janet sure is a genius at playing the typewriter. If we wanted anything extra typed, we just called on Janie Jeannette has been at a disadvantage in that she lost part of a year on account of illness but this has been no disadvantage to us for other- wise she would not have been a member of our class. 'We do not have to say that Jeanette is undecided about her fu- ture, for she already has a position at Freas's Garage. Margaret Eleanor Treharne fGPeg7!

Her gentle spirit Ne'er seek to harm. hiargaret is a quiet, unobtrusive girl, who has won a place in more than one of the hearts of the class of '26 for, although no one knows just why, one always feels at peace with all the world when in her presence. She is always ready to lend a sympathetic ear to her neighbors' troubles and burdens others with very few of her own. Peg has made many friends in her four years at P. H. S. and we know she will make many more during her sojourn in the wide, wide world. liargaret tells us she intends to enter training in the Punxsutawney Hospital in September, so she won't be completely lost to those of us who remain at homeg for we hope to see her occasionally-when she isn't in too great demand by her patients. 1'i.'w1ly-11171.-

l T H E M I R R O R Russell Wells Stiver Yan Russ Stiver Classical Course A. A. '23, '24, '25, '26, Red Cross '23, '24, '25, '26, H. S.

In these days of slouching posture Russ stands gloriously out. His training as a Scout has taught him to be erect and erect he is. Russ is a mathematician of some note. He is also quite an arguer. His reasoning along any line is good. Russ is an Albionite, and so he has to start from home early to get here. But he also gets to school very early, often at 8 o'clock but who knows-his reasoning might be behind all this. No, who would ever accuse Russ of hurrying to school to see the lady folks-but then, who can tell? Seth Alexander Stokes Alex Classical and Scientific Course A. A. '23, '25, '26g The Neighbors '25, .Art Club Constitution Com- mittee '25g Educational VVeek Speaker '26, 'l'he Private Secretary '26. One of those few who has a mission To Cure ilzczlmblr' diseases Or those that are called so. We have a wee suspicion that the poet who wrote those lines has been for several years observing Alexander in one of our local drug stores and has finally reached the conclusion that Eck is a druggist. If the poet believes such, he is not very far wrong. Although lick finds it hard to leave his drugs, he refuses to scorn the wiles of Dame Art. And thus we find that Alexander is a member of our Art Club. Although he vows that girls have no attraction for him IH we sometimes feel that it is the girls, and not Dame Art, who call him to the Art Room. Alex hasn't decided definitely what he is going to do after he leaves school, but we wish him success in whatever he undertakes. V Tiuerz ty-ei Edwin S. Swarmer Hear Eddie Classical Course jr. Red Cross '23, '24, '26, History Speech '24, Boys' Glee Club '26g A. A. '26, Comedy of Errors '26, Debating Society '26. Hlllusinfg upon many things. Edwin is somewhat of an enigma to most of us, for he fails to ex- press his opinion volubly on certain much-discussed matters. Never- theless he has definite opinions about such subjects, as some of us dis- covered when he was asked for his conception of Hamlet's character. Edwin usually seems to be in favor of the minority. Perhaps this is because he is the champion of the weak and loves the thought of an unequal struggle from which he will emerge victorious. He is quiet on that point, however, and will not disclose his purpose but we can make a good guess-eh Edwin? Ed has not yet definitely decided what he intends to do but he expects to take up a business course next fall.

Talk about right-hand man, Alfred has won that epithet by his efficiency and capability in the Commercial department, for Alf is verily the uright-hand man in the commercial building. VVhen any- thing is needed in the Commercial building, Alfred is right there with the goods. He, too, is an ardent follower of the typewriter for, if a typewriter is before him, he is perfectly at home. He too, has a position waiting for him upon graduation for Alfred will be employed in the future by the hlerris Beef and Provision Com- pany.

Some people cannot tind a means to clit ck the tiow of words from their lips, but it is not so with Sam , He makes a good listener and tnat is why every- one likes him so well. liut sometimes he surprises us by talking steadily for some time. This doesn't happen often so you may be sure that he has something to say when he speaks. VVe had thought for awhile that Sam was a very quiet, bashful boy but we have finally reached the conclusion that we were all wrong. Saml' is not quite certain what he will do after graduation but we all wish him good luck. Carrie Elizabeth Williams f'Kate English Course Red cu-OSS l23, '24, '25, '26g A. A. 25, '24, '25, '26g American Education Speech ,26. Of 1zei'1'1' say that I was false of lzea1'T. Farrie is one of the most conscientious members of our class. If Kate has already decided upon an impending problem, you can rest ew., assured that due consultation and weighing of both sides of the ques- tion has decided the tinal result. Kate is always accommodating but seems to worry about being misunderstood. Nothing must seem other- wise than it is. But once in a while, Carrie forgets her apprehensions, 3 and then we see the more carefree and jovial side of her nature. Kate is not at all selfish, she never talks about herself. She seems more interested in talking about one masculine gender, third person Q?J , specimen of the class of men. Carrie expects to work in an office where typing will come in handy for personal letters. Good luck, Carrie! 'li!11'1'1y
