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

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

1024 THE MIRAGE 1024 EDYTHE EVELYN BETZ General Course lvIi1'nge Stuff: Chorus, '24g Dramatic Club, '23!: Debating Club Secretary: Leap Year Club. Nickname- Betty My meaning in saying he is a good man ls to have you understand he is sufficient. Stop! Look! Listen! What have we here? Why it is Edythe, to be sure. Her hearty, genial, good-naturedness is appreciated by all who know her. And any one who marks the pomp and glory of her social success can but stop and wonder. Have you noticed Edythe's . . . . . . . . ? Goodness! But we must be discreet and not give up her secret or trouble may await us. She is a pleasant girl who never tires of giving a helping hand-or a stray powder puff. We thank you, Betty and we know you'll have good luck. ERNEST ALLISON General Course History Contestant, '24g Mirage Staffg Choral C'lub. Nickname- Ernie What shall I do to be forever known? Ernie has always been something of a Shiek and wherever there are girls, there you'll find Ernie. But in spite of this he al- ways manages to see that his marks are at or above par. He is a happy-go-lucky sort of fellow who believes in doing all his study- ing just before exams. LOUISE DOTY General Course Class Treasurer: History Contestant, 22: Dramatic Club, '23-'24g Debate Team, '24g Mirage Staffg D. K. D. Club, Nickname- Duty Glad to 'receive some instruction from this fellofw-partner. Here we have another Teacher's Pride. You never see Louise without her lessons, and say! Did you ever hear her debate? Stay clear. You'd never win! Doty is a good fellow amongst us, and never shirks her duties. She is just kind o' placid like, and always un- ruffled. Her highest aim is to be a missionary. All we have to say is: Those heathens don't know what they're getting and won't be able to appreciate her. Louise's tact and spontaneity have won her a permanent place in our hearts. R H S Twen ty-five
