1924 THE MIRAGE 1024 IDA ISABEL RAMSEY Classical Course N ickname- Izzy All work and no play makes Izzy a dull girl. Dear reader, here's one young lady you should all become acquainted with! We never knew just what a pleasing personality Izzy had until a year or so ago. Clever? Why clever is no name for her! She can think of the funniest things to say in the shortest time, and ought to be a main speaker on a debating team. Her favorite l??J study is Trig. She is extremely frank, but it is an engaging frankness, for her naive remarks arise from real sincerity. HERMAN EISENBERG General Course Academic Contest CHistoryJ '231 Mirage Staffg Orchestra: Senior Football Team. Nickname- I-Ioiman He shakes a mean bow. Herman came to Rochester from Scott High, Toledo, in his junior year, and at once began to make the fur ily. Herman's big' fail- ing UJ is an unusual capacity for study. Contrary to custom, however, he is not blinded by his own brilliancy, but is always willing to help any laggard on the path to graduation. He bore the banner of history into the annual academic battle at Geneva, in 1923, and to think that such a person's great ambition is to become a cartoonist! But we're willing to accept any bets that he will succeed in the profession he selects. BEATRICE ELIZABETH SCHWARTZ Commercial Course Latin Club. Nickname- Bea It must appear in other ways than words. Silence is golden and all the rest of those nice little proverbs apply to Beatrice. Quiet people are always valuable at times, their in- fluence being felt. This member of our class is certainly influential, quietly speaking, and we find her ever ready,to do a good turn. But then you know Still water runs deep and we feel sure that if we were able to get under Beatrice's quiet, lady-like reserve we would find a charming, jolly girl, for the twinkle in her gray eyes belies the sweet dignity that she tries to preserve.

1024 T H E MIRAGE 1024 MABEL LOUISE BERRY Commercial Course Mirage Staff: Leap 'Year C'lub. Nickname-A'Snoodles For the girl worth while Is the girl with a smile When everything goes dead wrong. Another apparatus sparkler with a sweet disposition and magnetic influence over the stronger sex lweaker in realityj. With a Uke in hand, Mabel will play her way through life. It has been said that the thum- thum of the above said instrument may be heard in a certain orchestra. She' is proud to hail from one of the largest cities in the world-Conway! No? But why stop and dispute the fact when it is the girl, not the town, which interests us? ERNEST JAMES FOGEL S cien ti fic Coarse Mirage Staff: Senior Football Team: Idiotic Fraternity: Vice President of Class of '24: Editor-in-Chief Fly Paper. Nickname- Ernie V. Pres. of Class of '24. Editor-in-chief-F ly Paper. Why should the devil have all the good time? Ernie has made a host of friends while at R. H. S. by his sense of humor, and by his loving disposition. He always enjoys a good joke, even if it is upon himself. If, by any chance, Ernie should go into the movies, Charlie Chaplin had best look to his laurels. THELMA HELEN IRVIN Commercial Course Leap Year Club: Chorus, '24 Nickname- Thelm As merry as the day is long. This highly interesting girl comes from Bridgewater. Another song bird! In chorus practice we hear Thelm's voice thrilling like a lark above our own. We all have the strongest desire to keep silent and let her continue alone. We always like to get a seat in front of her at practice so we can keep one of our ears her way. But singing is not the only parlor trick Thelma has. She is a perfectly marvelous player-on the Vic. If you don't believe 'us go to the little music shop where she spends most of her time. And say! Thelma seems to have domestic am- bitions! R H S Twenty-eight

1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 WILHELMINA SIMPSON General Course Basketball, '23g Manager, '24, Leap Year Club, Mirage Staff, Chorus, '24. Nickname- Willie A safe companion and an easy friend. Skeeter Hill has yielded unto us one noted chiefly as being shortest for her height. Willie is an all around good sport, and never shirks her duty. Talk about filling a hard place on a team, this is exactly what Willie did on the Basketball team, making of it a great success. She is just a natural happy- go-lucky girl. And in one thing she is not lacking true friends and many of them, for we all like and admire her. We'll expect real things of you, Willie. HAROLD ROSS General Course Football, '23g Dramatic Club, 23. Nickname- Rossy With loads of learned lumber in his head. Harold hails from Baden and has great difficulty in catching the 8:25 car, five morn- ings each weekg to tell the truth, he doesn't catch it at all. Rossy is the Ladies Man. Very popular looking, isn't he? He knows girls from far and near and oft, times we see him on a cold winter night near the fireside of some dame. He has taken an active part in the football games during the season of 1923. He surely is a fine fellow and a real sport. 1 DEBORAH BURNS General Course Mirage Staffg Dramatic Club, '24, D. K, D. Club: H. T. VV. Club. Nickname- Deb If Romeo had known her charms Her smile, her voice, her touch, He never would have hung around Juliet's balcony so much. And this is Deb. She enjoys everything and likes every one-even the Freshman and the class president. How about it Deb'? Deborah's happiest moment is at 3:10 p. m. Friday afternoon and she has two whole days vacation until Monday comes again. But she is a fine student, and as for ambition-why she leads us all in that form of exercise, for what she doesn't attempt isn't worth much. We are sure Deb will make a place for herself in the world as she has in Rochester High School. H S Thirty
