THE MIRROR Ralph Hollenbaugh Ralph Scim-ntitic Course jr. Red Cross '26, '27, '28, ITU, A. A., '27, '28, '20, .Xrt Club, '20, Science Club, '2U. Let us be silent, H1111 use lllllft' lzcnr the iulzisprrs of the gurls. Listen continually, but speak much less frequently. This is certain- ly the motto of Ralph. His presence in a class room is never known until everyone else has failed to answer the question. ln such a predica- ment, Ralph rises to the occasion with a smooth tiow of knowledge. Ralph does not concentrate in one subject but puts forth his best effort in every class. In doing so, he has compiled a record of which he is proud. However, Ralph's special interest is science and he has selected that for his future work. Ralph's perserverance and patience will go far tc-wards his success. Ralph has not decided on any college yet but will enter one that suits his fancy. Ethel Howe Ethel Commercial Course jr. Red Cross, '26, '27, '28, '29, A. A., '26, '29, Commercial Club, '2S. '29, Class Note Reporter, '2S. Come, perzsiw' nun, rlcvozzi and pzfrcu Pensive, devout and pure--that's Ethel in reality. Ethel has no close friends in school. She comes and goes with her sister. All her spare time is spent in reading, mostly modern novels. Ethel is very dependable. She wouldn't think of going into a class without the day's assignment, ready to hand in when called for. Ethel is so very modest. You never catch her powdering her nose or combing l1er hair. Ethel intends to be a stenographer, with her ability in the commercial subjects she will be very efficient. She has surely chosen the right vocation. Andrew Hritzko Andy Salutatorian Commercial Course Junior Red Cross, '26, '27, '28, '29, A. A., '27, '20, Commercial Club, '28, '29, Secretary of Commercial Club, '29, Indiana State Com- mercial Contest, '28, '29. By the work one knows the worknzanf' Andy is another honorable student who came to us from Adrian. His name has seldom failed to be on the honor roll since he entered f'unXs'y High. Andy holds an honor we should all envy, State Cham- pionship in Shorthand. Andy is very wise in one respect. He believes that business comes before the fair sex. That may be allright but we shall not be surprised when we hear that Andy has fallen like the rest of his 'brothers'. Perhaps you think 'fAndy is very quiet, but, when Bill and he get together, why-well, I guess it all depends on the company. Andy does not know what he will be when he finishes school, but, if we may judge, we will say, L'Secretary to Kellogg. Nineteen

Red, wavy hair! That's Janie coming in just one second before Dot some evening, as they stroll toward the f'Bon and you will change your opinion. lXIany times we see a far away look that causes us to believe she is thinking of the future, of whom-ask Jane. Janie's chief interest lies in art. Give her a pencil and a piece of paper and in no time you will see a picture of beauty. No doubt some of you have some bad teeth. If so, see Doctor Davis, and your pain will be lessened, for Janie will be there to le-old your hand. john Hastings Hayl Hay l Scientific Course jf.

However, closer companionship will reveal a pleasing young man. Johnny looks on the world from a sarcastic point of view and his satirical remarks al nays provoke laughter among his audience. Chemistry doesn't fall in llay-Hay's line and he finds the going rough but he will probably niake it. Johnny has one peculiarity. He often gets an odd opinion of something and then tries to make you verify it. Johnny's future must still be undecided or else he keeps it to him- . st lf for no one knows his prospects Clara Himes Himes Classical Course Jr. Red Cross, '26, '27, '28, A, A., '29, Le Cercle Francais, '29. Your meek brofzvn eyes, ' The truest eyes that cfver amwerefl lzeaz'en. That certainly fits Clara! She is a meek, little brown-eyed dam- sel. She believes in trying and will not give up easily. As a result, she has almost succeeded in coaxing her hair to grow long. ' Clara is a surprise. Just when you expect a brilliant recitation from her, she nods her head and does not respond. Other times she bursts forth with a surprising flow of knowledge. Although her future is not definitely decided, she may go in train ing next fall. Best wishes that Fortune's favor shine on you, Clara. Eighteen the gong. Rlaybe you think Janie is quietg if so, just follow her and

Helen isn't by any means loquacious hut she can talk, especially when the subject concerns the tc-rrors of linglish 4, graduation, and a few similar subjects that take the joy out of her life. Shows seem to be quite interesting to Helen il her attendance at the Jefferson Theatre is any proof on this subject. Ht-len's vanity case is always her most cherished companion. In time of despair she opens the vanity, powders her nose, primps her hair i and feels hetter. Helen has not told us what she intends to do. Twenty
