THE MIRRQR Edna Pifer lCddie Toppy Classical Course A A., '28, '29, Jr. Red Cross, '28, '29, H. Concert, '28, Choral Club, '28. Sober, slemlfust and 1Il'Hl'lll'l'.', Perhaps you have wondered who that petite person is who makes her way from room to room, bothering no one, and finally wending her way toward K, This is Edna, who is better known to her friends as Eddie, 'When Edna says something, it is to the point. Edna let her hair grow for about five months and then she visited the barber. lNIaybe you think there is nothing to hold her interest very intensely. Even though Eddie loves literateure, she will not bring books to school but does all her reading at home. Eddie is going to Indiana State Teachers' College. Paul Redding Paulie Redding English Course A. A., '26, '27, '28, '29, Jr. Red Cross, '26, '27, '28, '29, History Play. '26, Knave of Hearts, '29, Lost Silk Hat, '29, Head Cheer- leader, '29, Choral Club, '28. His himzor pervades his comic tales like sunslzifze and izewer dllzzles the aleliention by a sudden flash. Paul, our diminutive head cheerleader, is probably the smallest member of the graduating class. VVhat there is of him, however, is all pep and enthusiasm. He's never happier than when he is pulling something. Paul always seems to have a good time, no matter what the environment may be. When the door of K opens and you hear a merry ha-ha, watch for Paulie. Paulie is rather popular with the girls because they think he's such a cute little feller. , Redding hasn't definitely decided on what he wants to do, but he will probably end up by owning Cut Rate Drug Stores. Lots of success, Paulie. Kenneth Rishel CKKCI-137 English Course A.. A., '26, '27, '28, '29, Jr. Red Cross, '26, '27, '28, '29, Football, '27, '28, '29, Mis Bumpstead-Leigh, '29, All at Sea, '29, Boys' Glee Club, '28, '29, Thespian Society, '29, When we cannot act as ive wish, we art as we mn. And all Ken needs is the endowment by Father Time, of a few years and he certainly can act as an old man. Ken showed the truth of this statement very forcefully in the High School Play. Ken is good-natured, easy-going, and jolly. Nothing seems to worry him except-English IV. To see Ken at work is a real treat. With his head almost buried in the pages of a book, he seems to he devour- ir.g its contents word by word. Ken very seldom gets in a hurry- you never see him rushing madly through the halls, but rather ambling along leisurely with that half smile of satisfaction lighting up his coun- tt-nance. Ken has not yet told us what he intends to do. Tzeeizly-:zine

Young, chipper, and dCb07ZCZ77'.,, Rats is one of those natural born athletes, an all around athlete. Track, gymnastics, basketball and baseball fall in his line of activities. Ii: fact, Ralph spends all his spare time at the Y where he has much intiuence and popularity. These sports have given this youth a sound body and a knowledge of how to use it. Rats is one of those friendly fellows who needs no introduction to a stranger. His very aspect seems to invite companionship. Always smiling and happy, Rats radiates sunshine among those with whom he associates. Rats is going to work at Altoona and then may consider college. Eugene Mottern Dutch English Course jr. Red Cross, '26, '27, '28, '29, A. A., '26, '27, '28, '29, Interclass liaise-ball, '28, '29, , He umkes II Solitude and Calls it-Peace. Lord Byron never spoke truer words than these when they are applied to Eugene. He seems to be in the seventh heaven of bliss when lie is alone. One might not know it by looking at him, but, he is an adept in one branch of sports--baseball. Eugene is one of those cold, impassive types, but underneath this exterior, there is a warm feeling of frit-ndsliip which one feels upon association with him. He did not engage in school activities as he desired to confine himself to studies Although liugene's aloofness from his classmates may cause some to imsjudge, one must consider that he is one of those persons who do not care to mingle. lie has not decided on any college as yet, but will probably enter saint- business school. Frank Frank Myers English Course jr. Red Cross, '26 '27, '28, '29, A. A., '27, '28, '29, Orchestra, '25, '26, '27, '28, '29, Debating, '28, '29, Double Quartette, '29, Glee Club, '28, '29, A. A. Orchestra, '27, '28, '29, Operetta, '29, O life that leads melodious days! A life of melodious days is certainly that of Frank. One can find Orchestras, Glee Club, Quartette and Operetta under his list of activi- ties. Any participant in any of the above mentioned organizations will convince you that these constitute melodious days. Frank fiddled his way into the Orchestra and became head violinist. But music is not Frank's only interest in life. Frank is not the social type, but what friends he has, find him surprisingly humorous. He possesses a sly wit that attracts those with whom he associates. Frank is still undecided as to his career, but he will probably carve a name for himself in music.

Care Z0 our coffin adds ri nail, no doubt, And every grin so merry, draws one out. Ruth is that carefree girl who is always looking for a go-od time. lt makes no difference what kind of time it is as long as there is a tfllilllfe for fun. It might be a spin in the Ford, a party, or a movie, but we believe that the Ford has the greatest attraction. For in it, she spends much of her leisure time. On the other hand, Ruth can be really industrious, if she Wishes. Vt oe be unto the person who forces Ruth to do anything against her wishes.
