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.

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.

12 THE WEATHER VANE ANNE REVERE The idea seems to prevail that Anne Revere is a studious and dignified young lady. Front all appearances, yes I We admit she has brains but as for being dignified ! During her high school career she has tried debating and basketball, starring in both. Her ambition will carry her far, and some day we hope to hear from her again. MURIEL RICH Muriel Rich, commonly called Mew” by those who know her well, is one of these quiet and unassuming girls—that is, in school. But once you gel her started she can not be stopped. On the class basketball team for the last three years, she has scored success and praise. HELEN RILEY Helen has won for herself a successful completion of her four years of hard work, and the recognition of the Underwood Typewriting Company in the awarding of a medal for speed and accuracy. Her congenial disposition and willingness to help others has gained for her the respect and admiration of some, but more, the love of many. HENRY SAMPSON Henry Sampson is not an unknown character in W. H. S. He is noted especially for a peculiar method of talking into his Radiophone, his hobby, and we wonder if his girl has a radio set. It is not hard to see that Henry will be a successful business man. HAROLD SCHAEFER Using the same logic. Dear Brutus might kill Harold Schaefer because Harold is trulv ambitious. He aspires toward Columbia, the bar, the legislature, to one of the ninety six in the high chamber. Harold is now on the right track having been both Treasurer and President of his class and an active debater. Harold enjoys H. G. Wells, Einstein, the sports, and dancing, proving that his field is broad.
