The class of '27 is very proud of its twins, hlartha and lNIargaret. We might start to describe lNIartha but We are afraid we might iind ourselves describing lXIargaret. Hence we will choose a safe course and de- scribe them both. They are distinguished Shakespearean actors. They both play violins in the orchestra There is not a student who has not seen them cavorting over the stage leading our cheer-meetings. As we cannot describe them separately, sufficient to say that collectively and as units the class of '27 could not do xx ithout its twins. Clarence Earl Gourley Boob English Course A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, Hi-Y, '27, President, Commercial Club, '27. He who would conzmond must first learn to obey. Clarence has won a place in our hearts because he is kindly and obedient. By this we mean that he takes and obeys orders with good grace. When lXIiss Brown calls the room to order, Boob immediately heeds without being told twice, and also without impudent remark, or shuffle of feet, or squeak of desks so characteristic of young men. By virtue of this quality, Clarence is able to conduct his club meet- ings with iine order. Come to the Commercial club some evening and notice how much business is transacted in a short time and you will realize how well Boob commands his fellows. 4 Clarence expects to work next year and we are sure that he will become a leader through obedience.

'Z-ls merry as the day is long There are many people who are almost like Jerry but there are none who are exactly such. In the class there are many merry, happy, carefree people but of them Jerry is the merriest, happiest and the most care- free. ln her merriness Jerry does not forget that there is a time for study. On the studies which are the hardest for her, Jerry puts the most time. It must be this fact which has made her successful. Joviality can be an asset as well as a detriment, but the kind of jooy which Jerry gives is superior and supreme and cannot help being an asset. Geraldine is going in training as a nurse in Philadelphia next Year. l Donald Caldwell Frew ' Don Classical and Scientific Course slr. Red Cross.

Only flzc presmzi fouclzeflzr thee. lion is continually leaving something to the last minute. It is his obsession and is almost excusable because what he does have done is ex-' cellent and what he saves to do at the zero hour is almost always some- thing which has little or no real importance. In a crisis he is able 'Lo do his work quickly and efficiently without having to ask innumerable questions about his subject for he is able to grasp a situation and do it justice. lie is not a bustling, hurrying maniac either but is just the opposite. instead he goes about slowly doing his share without any extra exertion. lion is going away to school next year, but he hasn't decided yet which one hc will attend. Mary Elizabeth Gahagan Classical Course Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, High School Play, '26, Commencement Play, '27, E1zclza11z'ress of the stormy seas, Priestess of nz'ghf's high, Jzzysteriesf' Rather tall, slender, gray-eyed, Mary can make herself a very mys- terious figure. Last year she took the part of a priestess in the High School Play and the awesome atmosphere still hovers about her when in a thoughtful mood, but, when she smiles, there is a change, she is a fun-loving girl, not morbid, melancholy, but optimistic and cheerful. Mary has not yet fully decided what her future career will be.

After her Junior year she decided she did not want to do Commercial VVork so the beginning of this year she started to work for a Classical Course. And small as she is she has survived under Caesar and Latin l and two units of math , all in one year. lXIore power to you, Dot . Dot's other specialty is kindness, for she is always greeting Dora with some sweet name, and bringing Dora's wraps to her. Dot and Dora are certainly close friends, for they are always walking with their arms linked, and what one thinks, so does the other. Indeed it is not unusual to hear l gg g gg them defy the world. Dot expects to go to Temple next year providing Dora goes also George Harrick Yuddy Classical Course lr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, A.

XX'hen Yuddy was a little green Freshman, how he hated girls! Now he has grown up and almost likes them. llut, girls, you have missed something. The boys have had all the smiles and jokes and the friendship of Yuddy . llut the queer part about him is that, while he might know all there is to be said about a situation, he keeps his in- formation to himself, not because he is selfish, but rather because he hates to make other people feel uneasy. He will be the fifth Harrick to go to the U. of VV. Ya., where he will undoubtedly be a star, there is no one in P. H. S. who does not wish him success. l H1H'ff1'II Zay Erma Henry Teers Classical Course Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, jr.

VVe need not employ a mind-reader to disclose to us what thoughts are rambling through our Zay's mind, for one glance at the expression on her face reveals the secret. Teers , since this be the case, we suggest that you had better refrain from doing naughty things , for we fear that your countenance may tell the tale Zay is the owner of pretty, black, wavy hair, which does not lose its curl when it rains. At least we judge not, for we seldom see her wearing a chapeau. Zay expects to take up Home Economics in some school next year- possibly fate will render the decision-nevertheless we are certain the one who receives her promise true will bo able to survive with her cooking.
