THE OWL GEORGE BARE IKDOCJ7 RegarzIlz'ss of the task, It 'must zzawer be ignored. If I crmlt do fiat, Just lwwrf ill to my Fowl. You now see before you the student who plays the part of Miss Fiscel's official time- keeper, and he never fails to mark time. Whenever we glance up we are greeted with a sincere smile Q?j from l'Doc that makes any student start all over again with new vim. QAn unusual, yet remarkable inspirationj George is one of those students whom we call both lucky and popular. Why? Well, just drive up in front of the school at noon and you will readily see, for he possesses one of these never-failing Fords that carries riders even on the spare tire. l'Let it shine or let it pour, whether hitting on two or hitting on four, the ole, Ford hauls its passengers. George is so popular among the ladies that one never knows his latest. We judge that uDoc will not continue in the gas business, but wherever he finds himself we know that the people among whom he moves will still look up to him . MARY BARNHART BARN11AR'i ' She is our who is local Barnhart', is one of those girls without whom the Senior Class could not get along. Willing to serve wherever that service is need- ed, thoughtful, kind and considerate of others -:hese attributes apply to Mary. When her interest is aroused she can become a spirited debater who hangs on to her opinion as long as there is a point on which to argue. During her four years of high school she has proved herself to be a very good athlete. She especially showed her ability as a forward in basketball and also has taken an active part in other athletics during her school career. lVlary's weakness, strange to say, is for the front seats of Chevrolet Roadsters. She says that she is going to college for one year and then take up nursing. We wonder whether the profession or some likely young doctor will receive her untiring devotions. EUGENE BARRICK HBARRICKH Action .speaks louder thcm words Eugene possesses the personal assets which have won him favor and high esteem among the class of 32',. Although he is the quiet solemn type he is always cheerful, friendly, and modest. 'But back of his modesty is a keen sense of wit and humor. We know Eugene best as a student, and a wizard at shorthand, but he is also quite a speedball player. The students of this class feel surc that Eugene will attain success through the use of his pencil and notebook. Here is hop- ing that his pencil becomes faster and more accurate every day, and that his success may keep pace with his pencil.

THE OWL MADALINE ALBAUGH ' ' BIADALINE ' ' When its bliss to be ignorant 'Tis folly to be wise. Hard work and cheerfulness have achieved greatness for many national heroesg let's hope it does the same for you. Madaline, you are on the right trackg keep plugging and, we will bet our bottom dollar that you will get there. In Madaline we find the spirit that rises above all obstacles, to conquer and reign vic- torious, to command and be obeyed and, last- ly, to know and be understood. From all appearances, we, the class of ,32, predict for Madaline a successful stenographic position for maybe that of keeping the home fires burning in some cheery little bungalowj. No matter-with every step of your progress, the class of '32 has a cheer for you. GEORGE ARMACOST ARMY ' ' Although he is one of the quiet students of W. H. S. George has made his presence felt in the many fields of distinction which are af- forded in this venerable old building. His dramatic ability has been praised many times by the coaches during practice for the operetta, All at Sean. His acting in this production showed that he is not even modest and retiring but that his good nature and fellowship are something to be counted on. His class work, while not of the best, gives evidence of the stu- diousness and genius underlying. On the athletic field Army is always out plugging away and this characteristic has helped him attain his present standing in ath- etics. Basketball is the only game in which he does not take part and it is through no fault of his that he was deprived of the recreation.. To tell of George's future is a hard task. It is not like him to talk about himself and there are very few other ways to find out about it. However, he is going to Western Nlaryland Col- lege next year and we shall expect to hear of him among the outstanding collegiates 'ton the hilln. HELEN BANKERT HIQIONELH To her all 'lIlC I1, are heroes Helen is one of the peppiest members of our class and you can count on her to make her presence felt wherever she may be. She is neat, in her personal appearance, neat with her work, and neat in her schemes for ready excuses, and we have no doubt but that she will be a neat stenographer in a neat office if the attraction for the zoo does not prove greater than the lure of the business world. From what we have heard her fondness for animals limits itself to the bear family and to one :'Baer in particular. Helen, in whatever path of life you may find yourself after leaving our circle be it the zoo, the office, or the social world, our confidence in your ability to Keep Smiling will never waver.

THE OWL FERN BASLER FERN f'We know her by hm' happy air, Her light blue bytes and soft, blomle hair. You see before you the choicest plant of the season, a Fern. Fern is one of those girls whose friendship one cannot resist. She carries with her that tiny little smile that means so much. Because of her willingness to tackle men, the most dif- Hcult problems, she has won the admiration of all of her classmates and of her teachers as well. Fern has had no trouble to win for herself many musical distinctions. She is a member of our Glee Club, taking part in all of the musi- cal activities. She was our noted little 'iYum Yuml' in the operetta, All At Sea . If you hear someone say t'Pern and 'lFearl',, don't be alarmed for itls because of their close companionship that the two names are mixed. Instead of longing, as most fair maids do, for this seasonls lacy clothes, Fern is quite satisfied and happy to just have Lacy close. Whatever your vocation may be, Fern, the class of '32 wishes you the best of success. MAE BATEMAN 1 I BIAEJ J AU u'or7.' mid 110 play' Jlakws Johnny a dull boy Play is Maels middle name and work is, well, weill say about her fourth or fifth. We notice that Mae uses for her motto Let play run riot and not Make hay while the sun shines . Mae has yet to display her genius in classes but we know that it is there and will soon be shown in a spurt or a gush. Letys hope it gushes in the Commercial line as that is the course Mae has chosen-and which we think intends to follow through life. But we may miss our guess-be cause we never can tell how this modern genera- tion will trend. Can we? And really Mae has that something that will win her way right to the top of the ladder of success. She needs no pushing, more likely holding back. We know you are rarin' to go so here's to a hop and a start. W. H. S. wishes you luck, Mae. KATHERINE BEARD MK!! HI guess nursing-is about The greatest job ifn the u'o-rlfl aizyhouf. fT0y.sf0y. Katherine is the type that works diligenty asking no praise, bravely doing what she thinks is right. She always has a smile for everyone and never an unkind remark. When she sees someone who needs a helping hand she gives her aid without hesitation. We are told that Katherine expects to wear a white cap and apron in the future but we are afraid that some Ndoctorn will be attracted by her pleasing personality. Katherine, the class of '32 wishes you the best of luck throughout your future,
