The fact that practically everyone knows Dora makes her 'fwrite-up' more difficult. What to insert and what to omit is the question. Her activities? Business-like does not describe Dora. Her appearance? She apparently thinks of nothing more practical than sunsets. Her manner? She is friendly and mildly talkative with a wit not too brilliant for our equanimity or too ponderous for our delectation. She is a mixture of vivacity and sobriety, of romanticism and realism, of knowledge and pleasant forgetfulness. Dora expects to attend Allegheny College, where she will very probably conquer her studies with her application and life with her personality. I Martha Helen Craft Barty Commercial Course Jril. Red Cross, '24, '26, '27, A. A., '27, Commercial Club, '27, Historical Play, '26, Business and Social , '27, Jr. Civic Club, '26, The blessing of earth- is foil. Barty can be described in one word. She is wholly commercial. No fuss. Her clothes are neat and practical. No silly ideas Hit about her business-like brain. If man is a cosmic thing, women should not be cosmetic. That's I3arty's theory. lXIartha's only apparent weakness is talking. Even though she has reached the heights of Seniordom, she often graces the front seat for persistently talking. Nevertheless Batty has a fine start toward a real business life. hiartha will manipulate someone's Underwood next year. May she succeed. Helen Crawford Tom Commercial Course Ir. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, History Play, '26, Bond Issue Speech, '27, Commercial Club, '27, I'll cross it though it blast me. Helen of Troy? Qf course not! just plain Helen, who prides 4 herself in not being a clinging-vine-to-the-sturdy-oak'' type. In fact 4 she used to be a bantering tom-boy , but since she has attained the more dignified age, she has allowed that tendency to develop into a determined will. And yet,-perhaps her Irish ancestors favor her with her lighting spirit because one almost always sees Tom Haunting a wee bit o' green. No matter what Tom embarks upon we hope she will experience SUCCESS. N 1' n fr

THE MIRROR Thelma J. Cobb Thelma Classical Course Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, A. A., '25, '26, '27, Jr. Civic Club, '26, '27, Art Club, '26, Costume Designing Class, '27, Rehearsal , '27, Commencement Play, '27. But busy, busy, busy still art thou. Thelma is one of the busy little bodies of P. H. S. She is an en- ergetic, steadfast worker. Upon entering Room S during the assembly period one may see the small, light-haired, be-spectacled nymph pour- ing diligently over her manuscripts. lt was Thelma who so successfully played the difficult part of an aged Scotclnnan in the f'Rehearsal . Thelma had a hard time piping it but she sure succeeded in showing the gentlemen some new tricks in the trade. Thelma will attend Indiana Normal next year preparatory for teach- ing. Success be unto Thelma. J. Wilbert Carr CCWib31 What is clone, is done. Wib is one of the most matter-of-fact fellows in our class, or we might say, of our school. Wind, rain, or earthquake, all mean the same to him. However, when it comes to music, 'WVib is certainly efficient. He can tickle the ivories sufficiently well to please any one, times he has entertained us with his pleasing tenor voice readily say that Wib is not hard to satisfy, for give him chestra and a charming feminine partner, and VVib can be hours. Wib also has a keen sense of humor and often has our assembly in an uproar over some of his uwise cracks . Next year llVib is going to study chemistry at Alfred University. Scientific Course , '24, '25, '26, '27, Jr. Red Cross, '25, '26, '27, Boys' Glee Club, '25, '26, '27, Latin Play, '23, Commencement Play, '27. and many You can a good or- content for lllllf Margaret E. Collins Peggy Classical and Scientific Course Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, A. A., '24, '25. O, lovely eyes of azure Clear as the waters of o brook that runs Liuzpicl and laughing 'in the sun. Believe it or not, but Peggy is a contradictory lass. Often when she is walking with her mind above the clouds, she seems to have a queenly haughtiness. To a Freshman looking for Room T her keen, blue eyes, hair like burnished gold, and purple dress, would suggest too much regal aloofness to be considered as a possible source of aid. But if that Freshman would be so bold as to approach her, she would direct him with a friendly smile and a soft undulating voice. So you see, even if our 'fPeggy appears to be a haughty queen, specializing in heads, she is really democratic and willing to help anyone. HPeggy does not know yet what her future career will be, but. whatever it is, we hope she will be successful.
