1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 GEORGE SAMUEL BOWMAN, Jr. Scientific Course Gym Team: Lady Dillers Club: Idiotic Fraternity: Senior Football Teamg D, D. D. Clubg 8 Ball Club. Nickname- Bolders A fair exterior is a silent recommendation. One can tell by his name that he is an illus- trious gentlemanf??J. His good looks have even been noticed by members of the faculty. Hear him rave-then you'll think that f'they're all out of step but George. Compared With Pasteur and Burbanks, Bolders is a rose between two thorns. We hope he will find a place in the cold, cruel world as a printer's devil. FRANCES F. REMALY General Course Dramatic Club: D. K. D. Club, Nickname- Freng'y You may as well forbid the mountain pines To way their high tops and make no noise. Frengy has all the attributes of a good fellow when awake and is perfectly harmless when asleep. As Frengy she is known, for We could never become reconciled to calling her Frances. That sounds too stately and severe for one so ready to enjoy herself. She is one of the members of set No. 1 of Siamese Twins, for she was never known to be absent for more than ten minutes from Petie Dink Rumble. We hear that she turns a deaf ear to her admirers. How come? IRVIN HETZLER Scientific Course Football, '22, '23g Mirage Staff: D. D. D. Club: Sr. Basketball. Nickname- Adam To one thing constant ever. Adam is a carefree young man who seems to believe that work was not made for youths. However, by a little application to studies in the night time he succeeds in escaping with a mark which will pass muster under the criti- cal eyes of his father. His main defect is bashfulness, but in spite of this he is well liked by the girls, not to mention the boys. He also made his presence felt on the football field. If he succeeds as well in later years asl he has during his life in R. H. S., the class of '24 will have just cause to be proud of him, R H S Twenty-three O

1924 THE MIRAGE 1024 JOHN SCHAUBERGER Scientific Course Football, '22, '23g D, D. D, Clubg Mirage Staff. Nickname- Schally Oh! you kid. John is another of the many football stars turned out at Rochester by Pop Grimm and his aides, having made his letter two years out of the three he has been out for practice. His grades, too, have always been above the danger mark, so that if he goes on to Thiel, as is his intention, he will not be held back by his scholastic standing, but can prepare the way for the success wished him by all his many friends. CHRISTINE JANE MILLER General Course Latin Club. Nickname- Christy She hath oi neighborly charity in her. We haven't learned much about Christine during her few years here. She seems to us a quiet, dignified young lady, who pays no at- tention to what others think. Her quietness and solitude are far beyond the recall of scrutinizing eyes. Christine has no other in- terest out side of a school. We ought to say had for she lately declared it was all off for all times. But one of these days she'll forget to be solemn and will meet some one who will make her happy. JOSEPH WILLIAM TUMMON Scientific Course Gym Team3 Idiotic Fraternity. Nickname-- Joe I love the ladies. Whom have we here? The girls can answer that. J oe's blest above others with infectious good humor and a playful spirit. He is a ring leader in anything that is fung a genial, smiling, joking, fellow who loves to tease the girls, but doesn't allow them to bother him. He is not one to worry much, but accepts things as they come. He is generous, has a kind heart, and a considerate manner, which make him liked by everyone. How about it girls? R H S Twenty-two

1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 FORREST DOUDS General Course Football, '20, '21, '22, '233 Captain, Foot- ball, '!3: Basketball, '22, '23, '24: Chorus. '22, Gym 'l'ezLm. Nickname- Jap Best athlete 'Rochy' ever had. The lad of fame and great renown, His name is known in every town. Jap's fame as a football player has spread throughout the state and even further. Among the fellows he is known as one of the great- est football players who ever played for the Blue and White, among his friends he is known as a good sport and leader. In spite of his athletic activities, Jap is also a first c'ass student and the school can well be proud of his record both academically and athletical- ly. HELEN MAE PAWKA General Course Dramatic Club: Leap Year Club. Nickname- Buttons Happy I am, from care I am free, Why aren't all contented like me? Did you see Buttons as Mandy in Come Out of the Kitchen? If so, you know she is an actress of some quality. Say, Helen, who is this Pete? He visits Pawka's quite often and we are interested. Helen has won our liking and admiration. No matter how down- hearted or aggrieved her companions become, she never becomes wrathy or up set. As a parting word we should like to remind But- tons that in case she finds anything objec- tionable in this account of her virtues and vices, even write-ups are purely mental! HURLBERT RETZER Scientific Course idiotic Fraternity: Mirage Staff. Nickname- Herb A moan, a sigh, a sob, a storm, a strife. This is a dreamer. Just look at his beauti- ful, dreamy, dewy, darling eyes. It has been a great puzzle to the Seniors just whom he dreams about but we'll always be in the dark concerning f??J, as he is one of those fellows who won't tell. Come now, Herb, 'fess up, just how many of the valley towns do you visit? Ask Bowlders, for he is one of his best playmates, especially in the lab, may- be he could tell us something about this per- son of whom he dreams. But the world loves a dreamer, so why worry about it? R H S Twenty-four
