THE MIRROR , George Berte Chapman l Chappie English Course .X. .X. '26g Red Cross '26, Julius Caesar '26, Comedy of Errors '26, Art Exhibition Speech '26. 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

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

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
