Dot is the backbone of the Commercial Department. If there is any extra work to be done, either in typing or bookkeeping, you can depend upon Dot, it must be a grand and glorious feeling to be depended upon so much, but we know that it takes a great deal of ini- tiative and practicability to be so efficient. Although Deb is very business-like and rather reserved in school, one can have a hilarious time with her if the occasion calls for it. Dot'l indiscreetly left a blank space where she was supposed to foretell her future, for we fear she will be the backbone of Domestic Arts in the original kitchen as she has been in the Commercial Depart- ment. angry? her thoughts can be. surely envy her pupils.

She is the sort of person who might consider murder or arson but she'd never, never appear without her lessons. Sometimes she finds difficulty in expressing herself lucidly but she always speaks with a background of thorough study. What Katy'l intends to do next year, we don't know, but we do know that in her P. H. S. has lost one of its steadiest and most diligent workers. The class of '26 certainly hopes she will find success and happiness in any profession she takes up. Ruth Aileen Caldwell Rufus, Classical and Scientific Course Red Cross '23, '24, '25, l26g A. A.

She is always willing to lend a helping hand. Ruth is a girl with a sunny disposition and a very sympathetic nature. Her voice is so low and gentle that her words do not grate on her listeners ears. She is always sweet and cheerful-when have you ever seen Ruth Ruth is a devotee of dreams, but not to such an extent that she is oblivious of the work at hand. Sometimes however, we wonder, where Ruth expects to go to Indiana Normal and then teach school. lVc 5 4 6 Five

This is our Lu and also our red-haired girl-but just try calling her 'tRed once and you will get a look that is enough to make the Statue of Liberty crumble. However, the old saying about red hair doesnit go with our f'Lu for we have never seen her in a bad humor yet and We believe she knocks the pins out of that proverbial statement. She is one of those attractive carefree girls who takes life as it comes and asks no more. When Lu finds something is wrong with her work, she searches out the root and then attacks it. There is nothing devious about Lu, Lu is somewhat undecided about her future, however, she will either go to college or Indiana Normal. Best wishes, Lu.

One miglzt not such dct'0ti011 bring Early In serve and late. 3lyrt is quiet and constant but not too quiet to enjoy real fun, and a good time. ln fact, she is always on the lookout for something flaring and adventurous. lf it is Hallowe'en or April Fool Day, beware of somc devilish prank, for she will quite cleverly make you an innocent victim. Nlyrt is a constant and loyal friend, and never fails to re- member the little things, the acts of kindness, which mean so much in friendship. Myrtle is quite adept in the art of sewing, and expects to take it up at Margaret Morrison. lllith her patience and loyalty, she cannot fail to succeed. wg' 'ef ,f' 1 .. f ' r- .1-mx' . , 52.5.1 V, , 't ' V fzffea, lwlfl' Wanda Hazel Bryner f'i.ef1y News English Course Glee tflub '23, '26, A.

One never sees 'tBoots alone, she is always amidst a group of friends, and usually the same group, too. We believe, Lefty knows quite well that to have a friend you must be one, and that accounts for her many loyal friends. l'Boots is a carefree person, never worrying about anything, just taking things naturally. She is usually smiling, for she couldn't be constantly with hlafalda, and remain immune. Lefty has the honor of taking her shorthand notes on Bliss fMon- roe's desk. Hazel expects to take the Civil Service Exam at Vlfashington in order to secure a government position. Here's luck to you Boots

Of lIIC1lI7lC'l'S gentle, of ajfections mild, In wif a mana, sinzplirity a child. Some budding genius has told us that the tongue of woman never stops. We wish to make an addition to that, however, for Chappie is continually talking. Chappie's greatest failing is the fairer sex. If it were not for her, George would not be happy. One of the chief subjects of his flowing speech is also the gentler sex. ' George came to us from Sagamore. During the eight months he has been with us, he has won himself a host of friends and the estima- tion of the class. George expects to work next year and then to take a business course. XVe wish you luck, Chappie. Helen Davis Clawson Henny Classical Course Red Cross Drive '23, Red Cross '23, '24, '25, '26, A. A. '26, Dramatics '25, '26, Debating '26, American Education Speech '26. Her soul shines forth from lzcr eyes of blue. Alas, Mas' This Helen has also been captured. Not by a Trojan warrior. oh no' but we are not saying who her captor is, for that would be telling. No doubt, you have often wondered who the tall, stately girl is, who wends her way into T every day-well, that's Helen. In Helen, we tind a very agreeable friend, for it is difhcult to get into a dispute with her. 'We seldom find Helen taking the initiative, her idea is to fol- low the leader. You lead and she won't be the drawback. llelt-n is going to Clarion Normal this summer and teach the Pifer school in lIct'almont township next year. Don't be too hard on the kids , Helen. Marvin J.

Marvin agrees with the poet on this point. He feels that there is a lot of fun in the world and he surely finds it. But Marvin does lots besides have a good time. He is one of our talented actors. He plays the part of the villain or the love-smitten youth to perfection. It is known that he has taken part in plays spoken in two languages. Marvin is one of our promising speakers. He talked during Nation- al Iiducation Week and in the DuBois and Reynoldsville Debates. Mar- vin expects to take up law at Penn soon and we feel that, if he pleads cases in the future as well as he speaks now, he will make a very suc- cessful lawyer. Here's luck to you, lllarvin. Nix
