1924 THE MIRAGE 1024 ISABEL DORIS WATTERSON Classical Course N ickname- Babe Quiet, sweet, and loving Isabel has not always been a member of the brilliant class of '24, having come to us from Beaver to finish her course of learning with a flourish by receiving a diploma from R.H.S. Despite her tardy membership, we would now be lost without her, for she has Won us all. Little of Isabelfs personal life is known in Rochester, but have we not seen her at the movies with an admirer from the weaker sex. Perhaps her brown eyes will widen at this bold remark, yet truth will out and secrets cannot be kept in this school, try as one may. Isabel is an extremely good student and she has our best wishes for a successful career. ROBERT A. ATKINSON Classical Course Choral Club, '243 Dramatic Club, '233 D. D. D. Clubg Mirage Staff. Nickname- Bob No eats, no live. Bob is another of those preacher's sons that helps make the rule true, All preacher's sons are terrors. Many of the good old proverbs of our youthful days may be made applicable to this young man, for instance, Eat and wax thin, Laughi, and all that other bunk. But one thing is sure-Where there are eats, there you'll find Bob. That's all right, old dear, the rest of us like it as well as you and do let us hear of greater accom- plishments by you, both as scholar and athlete, in your future years. VIRGINIA BERNICE FRANK Commercial Course Dramatic Club: Debating Clubg Chorus, '23-'24g Mirage Staff: Leap Year Club. Nickname- Jinnie She moves like a goddess, She looks like a queen. Who could fall off a train and still maintain a quiet, dignified bearing? Virginia. She is dedicated to all loveliness of speech and of action, yet she has a practical side as well. There is a far-a-way expression in her eyes and you imagine she is wading up some rosy cloud. We Wonder-?? Can she sing? You bet your boots. Virginia sings like a bird and is Miss Coe's secretary and right-hand man. We also think she could be a classic Greek dancer. By means of one of her many talents, who can tell what will happen?

1024 THE MIRAGE 1024 MADALYN ISABELLE DAVIS Commercial Course Nickname- Madge History Club: Leap Year Club. She finds the joys of heaven here on earth Madge proves the old saying Laugh and grow fat, yet she is not what we might term our hefty member. Rain or storm, snow or sleet, always she trudges bravely up the hill towards our dear Alma Mater, that wonderful seat of learning where we, from little boys and girls, have grown up into strong minded men and women. Madge's prophecies as to her own future are sort of vague when uttered from her own lips, but nevertheless tea-towels and rolling pins might be handy to have. So take our advice, don't get left, always be right. JOSEPH HEIDEGER Commercial Course Orchestra, '21,,'22, '23, '24: Chorus, '23, '24: Mirage Staff: R. O. B. C'lub: Dra- matic Club, '23, '2-1: 'Senior Football Team: Associate Editor, Fly Paper. Nickname- Snooky Watch this bird Snooky belongs to the Bridgewater gang which forms a small percentage of our stu- dent body. Besides being an A-I student, he has raised his melodious voice in the chorus which represents R.H.S. in the Geneva Con- tests, and has been a great factor in the suc- cess of the Class of '24, It is certain he will always rank as one of the bright lights of Bridgewater, as he has been of Rochester High School. ANNA FRANCES MORTIMER Commercial Course History Club: Bachelor Girls' Club. Nickname- Ann Give thy thoughts 'ho tongue Ann is another of our quiet unassuming girls. We think she would make a good teacher, for she looks as though she would ex- press her wrath mildly, and would have a good amount of patience. It is a true but sad fact that we never become acquainted with the people who may make a good friend until it is too late. A dignified expression, a lady-like walk, and a good nature ought to insure a good position for Anna in the future. R H S Eighteen

1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 MARIAN ELIZABETH MALONE General Course Debating Clubg History Club: Mirage Staff: Leap Year Club, Vice President. Nickname- Sheba Sunny hair and sunny face Of sadness you'll find no trace. Marian is a pride to the commercial teach- ers. You should watch her fingers fly over the noisy keys -of the typewriters! But studies do not hinder Marian from being popu- lar. There's a certain little CD senior boy who knows Sheba's charms. None of the young men can resist the temptation to talk to her, and bask in her smiles. She is full of fun and gayety,'and laughs everyone else in- to smiles. A pleasant smile and unfailing good nature made her a good person to keep company with, and as she is also a conscienti- ous worker, she will reach the highest goal. PAUL KOEHLER General Coarse Mirage Staff: Senior Football Team. Nickname- Emma The smallest hair shows a shadow. Paul undoubtedly gets his nickname from his associations with the weaker sex. This hand- some young man has a way with the girls that seems well nigh irresistible. Studies seem to be the least of his worries, but the way he has come through the first three years of his high school course leaves little doubt that he will be very decidedly among those present when the class of '24 bids farewell to R.H.S. It is our belief that he will become a salesman of some sort as his line is very good and will help him much in his later activities. HILDA E. RUMBLE General Course Dramatic Club, '23, '241 D. K. D. C'lub: H. T. XV. Club. Nickname- Pedie Dink Oh, why Should life all labor be? Here's one small girl that it is impossible to keep track of. She is a frequent visitor of the Bentel Grocery fone block northj , keep- ing the rest of us from starving during school hours. In spite of outside interests Pedie Dink has taken an interest UD in her work and has always been able to C her way through. She has a smile on her countenance and a sparkling twinkle in her eye, and despite the lack of a dimple in her chin we know there is lots of pep within. Do we like Pedie? Illl say we do! H S Twenty
