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

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?

ENS ENS ENS ENS ENS SEWIHI 0,55 QMS QM? Q55 6,513 CHARLES E. STONE Stoney, who admits he is the world's greatest tennis player, is the great enigma of the Senior class. He economizes on words, but his dry comments have a great deal of depth, and although he would have us think otherwise, he is a very studious chap. Ask him about Economics! Girls hold no interest for Lapis. who promises to be on hand to gather up Tilden's laurels when he lets them fall. GIZELLA WAGNER Tall, pretty, and blonde, Gizella is one of the more sedate members of our class. Among her accom- plishments are swimming, dancing, and cooking: her ability as a StQn0g- rapher is undisputed. She served capably as President of the Girls' Student Council and received the high honor of membership in the National Honor Society. She's always willing to work hard for a good cause, and is the best friend anyone could have. What more could be wanted? CHARLES P. WILLIAMS Always at ease, Chuck has never been seen in a rush or angry. He has that rare gift of making the minutes fiy faster with timely comments. With John Mummey he owns that green Ford, and so comes to school each day in Eliz- abethan state. His most marked inclination is to be absent on Mon- day fverb day in Senior Frenchj. That wavy hair is both the envy and despair of all the girls and serves to top off his perfect attire. HELEN ZERR Last but by no means least is our Helen. Although she appears to be very tall and stately, she is a good sport. A little dignity is always needed. She is a member of one of our numerous syndicates. This time the Zerr-Rupert-Young crowd. When it comes to the charm of her smile, Helen vies with anyone in school. WILSON TIERNAN And still another athlete! Bill has been with us a little over two years, and during that time has distinguished himself admirably in the realms of football, basketball. gymnastics, and golf. A combina- tion of good looks and athletic ability. such as this, certainly makes the girls' hearts beat faster, but the fair members of the Senior class don't have a chance: a certain Junior has an option on Bill. DAVID WALKINGSHAW Scotchie is the one who, in his capacity of cheerleader, keeps us full of pep, vim, and vigor during football and basketball games. But he doesn't let his enthusiasm wane after those seasons are over, for his good nature and broad smile are with us throughout the year. He is always active in all school affairs, and he and his Chevrolet are to be found at practically every function. VIRGINIA PEARL YOUNG Although Ginny is our smallest Senior, we would miss her very much if she were not around. She may be found wherever there is fun to be had. She is the jolly, laughing type, ready to take jokes. as well as make them. She hails from Haysville, which must be proud to have such a charming girl in its midst. To see Ginny in a serious mood would be most unusual. Twenty- three Q?'I'Q QWTQ QWAQ QQ QYQ I 9 3 2 9'N2Q'N29'N31Q'N29'sQ
