10 THE WEATHER VANE MARRY MKGLAUGHLIN Full of vim, vigor, and vitality he, figuratively speaking, bounced into High School. School seems to have taken none of this bubbling spirit away from him and he goes on with the same jovial outlook. Doubtless this boundless energy will do much to procure him a place in the world of business or in whatever way of life he enters. JOHX L. MILLER. JR. Spot, the Elizabeth commuter, forsakes our grand old institution for other parts after working diligently that he might achieve this end. Spot was a member of the original M. S. S. basketball team, and as guard helped win a championship for '22. In baseball Spot is a star of the first magnitude, and as first baseman is unequalled. To show our appreciation we named him Cap’t Miller. JULIA MORROW Julia came to us two years ago after a year at a Massachusetts school. For two seasons she has been one of the star players on the class basketball team. Her pep and winning way has made her popular not only with her class but with all who know her. VIRGINIA NICHOLAS Dreamy and indifferent. Virgie is, nevertheless, an essential member of our class. By representing '22 in basketball in ’18 and ’ig, she received her numerals. A care free student, yet a clever thinker. Not noticeably active: but then, every class must have its social end. EUGENE OTTO We do not find him a gentleman «»f unlimited accomplishments, but what he does is marked in excellence. As to tickling the keys of a typewriter or stringing a violin along we know that none in W. H. S. can surpass him.

THE WEATHER VANE 9 EDWIN A J )NES “Weeds,” landed in High School with »ne of her characteristic jumps, and lias been jumping ever since, especially in basketball where she shone as star on the varsitx for two years. This year she was President of (iirls A. A. She is conceded as one of the best all-around sports in W. H. S. In whatever she does or wherever she goes we know she’ll be a favori’e. MARY KAY This young lady has. during her High School career, fully lived up to her reputation as class giggler. She is possessed with great linguistic ability. Besides her knowledge of French and Spanish she converses fluently in English (see Miss Hanimel). She is of an extremely changeable disposition evidenced by the frequence with which her brain fluctuates. EDWARD W. LLOYD Our ever smiling “parson” came to us from the grammar school to take up his burden in high school as : assistant manager of football 20. manager of football ’21. stage manager of' Senior Play ’22. Superseding all his achievements is his ability as class humorist. RICHARD LUCAS “Dick” as we call him. hailed from the wild and wooly west. He’s a hard boy. shining little in the first two laps but blossoming forth in the third as police inspector in “Spreading the Xews and in the fourth as “Mr Wheeler in “Clarence.” Dick’s great ambition is to be laz? King since everv type of instrument is familiar with his touch. RICHARD MAGNER This sober gentleman of dignified hearing has not graced 11s with his presence for long. But since his debut in November he has been on the front lines of action; especially has he figured prominently in many athletic events. Above all. however, we have noted his skill in driving a Dodge. But we wish him success whether he travels by Dodge or on foot.

THE WEATHER VANE 11 EDNA PERKINS Although called “Teddy, this pleasant addition to our class could hardly be called bearish for she’s continually smiling. From her activities in our class, she won her numerals in basketball in ’19, she was secretary of the class in ’20, in the Senior Play in ’22—one might gather that she is a highly serious-minded young lady; but appearances often are misleading, for “Teddy” is essentially peppy” and socally inclined. ELIZABETH PIERSON For several years Elizabeth Pierson’s cheery smile and ready humor has been familiar to the High School. That is, when she is here; for Betty is our society lady and only comes to school when there is nothing else to do. However, as Mrs. Wheeler, she added much to the success of the Senior play. They’ll miss her when she’s gone. WILLARD -BILL” PFAFF Bill” Pfaff, gentleman, scholar, sportsman and ladies’ man comes blowing into 101 every morning (hard as nails). Say, there, Gtlla- her. have you got my paper this morning? Hot dogs, the Giants won!” Bill” is a likable sort of fellow, fond of clean sports, and hard studies. During his administration in W. H. S. he served as captain of football. ’21 and captain of baseball, ’21. Enough said 1 MARJORIE PLANT Marjorie in school and Marjorie out of school are two entirely different people. In school she is quiet and unassuming, with a taste for athletics and a talent for languages. Outside she is given to laughing and making jokes regardless of time or occasion. She is sympathetic and frank, and affects a certain air of naivete by parting her hair in the middle and asking ingenious questions. HELEN RANKIN It was four years ago that she entered our school; She worked very hard, but she played as a rule; She is tall and stately, this girl in our class. But we all think her dandy from the first to the last.
