Economics students will vouch for the fact that she did much indis- pensable work as Mrs. Egolf's stenographer. Dorothy has three hobbies - debating with Miss Andrews, the movies, and riding in a Plymouth. We think she mostly enjoys the latter two. GEORGE PURDY Another of our star athletes! Putts is able to perform with equal ability in football, basket- ball ,tennis, or baseball, and he has acquired a reputation in all of these sports. He also was one of those who helped plan graduation: the Senior Dance, especially, was a product of his efforts. He is always seen at every social function, generally in the company of a certain very pretty lass. WILLIAM L. PYLE Bill is famed for his exploits on the golf course and in the pitch- er's box. It is thrilling. indeed, to listen to Bill relating his experi- ences in these sports, and, we think, still more interesting to observe him in action. Practically inseparable from John Mummey Cwhom he affectionately calls Uncle Hooverj, Bill is a real friend. Although his sense of humor is certainly a most individual one, Bill is known by it, and is popular with everyone. EDWARD J. RUFF Ed graces many a phase of school life with his talents. On the foot- ball team, in plays, in debate, in public speaking, and on the Sewihi staff, his confidence has proved to be a real driving force. Lessons, too, present no difficulties. No won- der, then, that he this year was selected for a place in the National Honor Society. However great his persuasive powers may be, he never fully convinced Mrs. Peterson that the whole Aeneid is just poetic license. SAMUEL PORTO Tootin' Sam. that busy man Who plays on the clarinet- A terrible piece of verse, but it represents Sam's highest accomplish- ment. What would the orchestra and Mrs. Egolf do without him! Next to his clarinet, Sam seems to like the lab and Room 220 the best. Curly hair, a wide smile-can you blame the girls especially? ALICE B. PURVIS Though Sue comes from Edge- worth, we think her main interest is Sewickley, for more reasons than one. She is that adorable type of young person who looks so sweet and lovely in frills and tucks, and who is just as sweet as she looks. She is an expert at the piano, but pipe organ playing is her high ambition. MARY JOSITA ROACH And now we introduce Jo, the class's wittiest and most humor- ous. The knack of twisting sensible words and sentences into absurdi- ties is distinctly hers. She does have her serious moments, and is quite the envy of all the bookkeeping students. At typing, too, she's gifted: all the Sewihi manu- scripts were done by Jo. She plays the piano admirably, and- oh, yes, we mustn't fail to men- tion that she's half of the school's most famous tap-dancing team. CECILE RUPERT Always dignified, Cecile goes among us in her quiet way, mak- ing it her businss to avoid trouble. and never to Worry anyone. When she expresses an opinion in English class, you can be certain that it is valuable and the result of careful thought. We wonder what field attracts Cecile more-the business world or domestic duties. Have you noticed the diamond she wears on a certain finger?

C5355 ENE ENS C3313 GNL5 SEWIHI QM? C1545 6,365 6-GG QMS TIMOTHY MERRILL HT enjoys the unique distinc- tion of being the school's only member of the National Athletic Honor Society, members of which must be equally proficient in studies and sports. T's consistent good work at left-tackle did much for gaining our measure of success in football this year, and his work on the gym team is well known. His work in the classroom puts to shame those tempted to wail that you can't be good in sports and subjects. too. Hats off to T ! RALPH C. MILLER. JR. Ralph is a new-comer to our school, but he has quickly made a host of friends. and is included in the group of Eddie. Dan, and Bill. Already he has gained a reputation in his studies that any- one might well be proud of: espe- cially in American History does he find a joy in arguing little known. but signilicant points. Ralph is the only member of our class to have enjoyed the distinction of acting in the movies. JOHN MUMMEY Here's our star gymnast-the handsome Tarzan, who makes the girls' hearts go faster as he performs his feats of skill and strength on the horizontal bar. Gymnastics are but one of his many interests, for the Ford Cof which he is half ownerl, basket- ball, and baseball all have claimed a goodly share of his attention. He's Bill Pyle's idol and-did we hear someone mention West View? RUTH NARDO Ruth actually walks from Shields every day. If that is what makes her a good basketball player. every- one will be walking to school soon. We wonder if Ruth is ever angry: she never looks that way. For a smile few are her equal and as a personification of pep, vim, and vigor she is not surpassed. She belongs to the Commercial Insep- arables. Twenty PAUL JOSEPH MILLER Here is one member of the class who can oversee everything-and that includes rival centers on the basketball-floor! Paul Cor Sleepy as he is better knownj is an excel- lent Chemistry student, but his too-ready answers often have earned a good grade for someone else. Paul likes to pun, especially in Chemistry class. If you want him he will be found doing one of two things-sleeping, or doing something somewhere with Sam. CLYDE MOON Since Clyde lives in Carnot, he often gets to school as early as Mr. Bolin, and thus manages to get his Chemistry experiments written at the right time: he's never known that hectic last-min- ute rush to get his work com- pleted. Industrious though we know him to be, Clyde has a par- ticular aversion to rushing, and never does. Clyde's brand of humor renders him exclusive, and one has to understand really to appreciate. ALBERT MURPHY Bud's greatness lies along ath- letic lines, and the name he has made justifies all the effort he has put forth. Called upon not a few times to call signals in football games, Bud handled his job with rare skill and finish: in basketball. too, he has proved valuable at crucial moments. Liking his food and good times, Bud seems to be an avowed Epicurean, and firmly be- lieves that there is absolutely no point to hurrying. Try to hide it as he will, his pep is not unknown. ADELLA E. MINICK Adella is another of our com- muters: she hails from Stonedale on Sewickley Heights. The sixth member of her family to be gradu- ated from our noble institution, she helps make the Senior class the illustrious group it is. This year found Adella on duty as a member of the trafic squad: her smiling face gave offenders a most guilty con- science. Her sweet voice brought her into publicity in pre-Forensic singing contests. QWAQ ffl?-Q QWAQ QZTQ 275.12 1 9 3 2 Q-?i99T'i?i5l9-QQIQAKSQASQS

ENS ENE GN5 ENS EN-6 SEWIHI QQK3 EEK? QM? EEK? QM? ELIZABETH RYE In our midst are many clever persons of which Elizabeth is not one of the least. She is one of our busiest members. whether for work or play. The honor roll would not be complete without her though she hasn't lived up to her I. Q. She turns the piano itself into music. The stage, too, has been a scene for her activity. In fact, she is a staunch supporter of all our social and athletic functions. Such members as she make a class a real success. KATHERINE SCHURING We scarcely ever see Katherine without her smile. Nor do we see her very often without her pal, Jack. To Katherine the last English class owes much for saving them from disaster by her interesting opinions. We also see that she wears a very pretty De Molay pin. Since when have girls been members of that organization? GEORGE P. SHELDON, JR. Of all things in the world, George loves a good joke, sleep, and philately the most. His happy, philosophical view of life has given him a rare knack of being satisfied all the time. Every Senior knows how he appreciates jokes, Miss Kerr knows how he appreci- ates sleep, but few know of his stamp-collecting. George tends his stamps with loving care. For obvious reasons, we think George is greatly interested in the Junior class-or part of it. SALLY SMART This particular Sally down this particular alley is our most charm- ing hostess, and not a few of our social events have been graced by her attractive personality. Like her pal, Anne, she does sports in a big way-her skill in basketball made her one of the mainstays of the Senior team. She's efficient as an executive, too, as we see from her work as graduation chairman. A winsome and capable lass- Sally. Twenty-two CHARLES R. SCHLUMPF Inkdy bolstered up our bas- ketball and football teams for two years, and he certainly made a fine job of it. Next to sports he cares for-can you guess it ?-the young ladies. And because of his curly hair. flair for clothes, and wide smile, this feeling seems to be reciprocated in a large measure. His greatest difficulty is to keep awake from 3 to 4 P. M.. but when a fellow can talk why study English? ARTHUR L. SHEATS Art is one of the stand-bys of the gym team. His work was one of the main factors in our boys' successful showing against Ben Avon in the first meet of the sea- son. The little chap on top of the pyramids was usually Art, who shows no small skill in his per- formances on the horizontal bar and flying rings, too. Although not usually noisy, Art has to be separated from Johnny Ellis aHd Russ Emmert in the afternoon study-hall. HUGH SLOAN No, that's not a permanent wave you see in his picture: it is perfectly natural. It's the kind of crop raised in the metropolis of Edgeworth, and Stiny's is a great advertisement. His singing voice, also, is listed among the most valuable assets of the school. He makes his way to and from our institution of learning in a Willys- Knight coupe, which we will always associate with him. MARY ANN SPEC Mary will some day be some- body's prim and neat stenographer. She's very business-like but also very amiable, and has a smile for everyone. Most of her time is spent enacting the role of peace- maker between members of that famous for notoriousj commercial department clique. Mary has heaped laurels on herself by her skill as guard on the Senior basketball team. QQ QYEAQ QWAQ QQ QW? I 9 3 2 SK SNS QQQE QQ Qi
