John used to be one of our hardest working students, but this year he turned his attention to athletics, sometimes at the cost of his routine work. It is Iohn's highest ambition to be there with the goods, and to be there on time . John never infringes on the rights of others and he is always ready to return a favor. John extremely dislikes show-offs and in order to rid himself of them he often keeps company with him- self. Nor do we blame him, because we are sure that he finds in him- self the same true friend that we find in Jack , John is going to Penn State next year, and State will never regret the day a student of Jack's qualities crosses her threshold. 5 Henrietta Belle Bowman Classical Course Ir. Red Cross, '24, '26, '26, '27, History Play, '26, Glee Club, '24, '25, Hi-Y, '27, The one who 11111110 you fair hath 11111616 you good. Dusky ringlets, luminous eyes, a soft voice and a Blona Lisa smile characterize Henrietta. It is also characteristic of her that she graced the most important float in the bond issue parade. Not only her coun- tenance charms you but her voice plays a large part in her personality. She can say a foolish thing in such a thoughful way that one thinks all the seas of wisdom are loosed. Yet one is not oppressed by this wisdom for her lips often smile and her eyes fill with laughter at some gay joke she has overheard. Thelma F. Campbell CLNutSH Commercial Course A. A., '26, '27, Ir.

Any time you happen to be in Room S from 8:25 in the morning until 3:45 in the afternoon you can hear Flo and Thelma talking even though they are far away from each other. Thelma is certainly making good in her Commercial work for twice she has had the privilege of missing school in order to work, once for the Salvation Army and again for the Farmers QQ lN1iners bank. How lucky! just think, she can stay out of school, and doesn't even have to bring an excuse. Thelma hasn't fully decided yet whether she will go away to school or take up oftice work. smile at this gay, charming suppliant. Henrietta has not decided what she will do but surely Fortune will 5011111

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.

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.

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.
