Smith Silver Medal, '27q Spirit Column Staff, '27. She SC'C'HI,fl' as happy as 0 wrzce That Il'lllIC'l'S on the sea. A curly haired lassie whisking through the hall, sparkling eyes, an infectious smile, followed by a suppressed giggle then 'tpssss-t Thelma -'and you know Flo is near. Considering the recognition lilo has received in Commercial work, we are convinced that some day she will appear in News of the Day as a famous business woman. Flo is undecided as to her future career but we feel sure that some man will have the good fortune to employ her as his right hand stenog. Archie Gray Baker Arch linglish Course A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, Commercial Club, '27. He lznm' his jest. Archie is far from quiet. In fact, his boisterous voice intermingled with a hearty laugh always announces his arrival. Also, when he has anything to say, and it is seldom that he is quiet, one does not have to strain his ears to hear. Even though he often seems arrogant, his smile quickly tells us that such arrogance is assumed. ln his superiority complex , Archie has an indescribable love for friends. Archie has said he intends to- take a master's degree in the college of experience and that he is going to major in its hard knocks. Andrew J. Baranick Andy Commercial Course A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, Commercial Club, '27, History Play, '26, Commercial Play, '27, Cheerleader, '27. A jnrincelier-looking man newer stept tlufouglt princes' hall. Behold the king of the High School! Two words from Andy and the whole student body is on its feet, Rarin' to yell and under his able leadership we make the walls of old P. H. S. rock with our cheers. Andy is a leader who makes others feel his supremacy. lYhc-n this Caesar comes into school the whole building seems to quake under the force of his plated heels. Woe to the one who contradicts him, except of course, our fairer classmates, for whom Andy has an inex- plicable weakness. Andy is going to work next year and we have no doubt that he Will make himself known, for his is a rare type, a leader who does not misuse his position. Q

T H E M I R R O R james Albert Bier Jim Classical and Scientific Course .X. .X., '24, '25, '26, '27, Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, Latin Play, '24, History Play, '26, Circulation lXIanager, Torch, '26, lXIirror Board, '27, High School Play, '27, Football, '26, French Play, '27. For I am notlzirzg, if not Critical. lf anybody has a secret that Jim does not know, only one explana- tion can be given: they have never been questioned by him. James is our champion cross-examiner. His questions always have an end and no matter what answer we give him, he draws a shrewd conclusion. Jim is a firm believer that Hbrevity is the soul of wit, that is, when his classmates are talking. If their recitations are long and com- plicated Jim feels like a wet hen, especially if the answers could have been given in a few words. But, when James recites, he Fletcherizes his answers for the edification of his hearers. Iim's record speaks for itself and in the scholastic or business s world success is his for the taking. Margaret Elizabeth Blair Pussy Commercial Course Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, Commercial Club, '27. Love selflom lmznzts the brefzsz' iulzere lerzwzflzg lies. Next to Shakespeare's 'tTouchstone Peggy is the jolliest person we know. She is always asking you to tell her a joke or begging you to listen to the latest one she has heard. The great trouble that she and her sister Mary have, is deciding who will bring money for The Torch, Klirror, etc. l'eggy's happiest day was .Xpril Fool's Day when she fooled so many of ber friends in Room S with he rrubber chewing gum. Peggy hasn't decided yet whether she will work or go away to school next year. l S 1' x Mary Christine Blair Bfary Commercial Course jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, The New Bess , '27, Commercial Club, '27, Underwood Bronze iXIedal, '27, Neat-not gaudy. Blary, in the classroom, is a very quiet, unobstrusive girl. How- ever, as a contrast, she is full of fun, very jovial and talks with a quick, decisive manner at the times when she is away from the forced associa- tion of the recitation room. She seems to hold to the motto that, while one should toil when the time is ripe, there is also a time in which to play. She also seems to believe that the one who succeeds must paddle his own canoe and not rely upon others. Mary is undecided as to what she intends to do next year.
