TI-IE OWL VERNON HARCHENHORN ' ' IIARUHIE ' ' H TVl1rlt suwwt delight Il quite! life affords. Whenever there is anything to be done Ver- non is ready and willing to lend a hand and a FordH, also, if necessary. This Ford is one of the reasons why so many girls want to help with the Bazaar, etc., but without Harchie,' the trip would be a '!Flop . There are always some quips and merry jests to be exchanged when he is around and, though he is one of the quiet members of the class, he has a subtle sense of humor that amuses all. Undoubtedly, Vernon will be one of the pro- gressive farmers of the country who will use lime, fertilizer, and potash in such proportions as to eliminate the problem of over production, entirely kill the idea that farming is not a flowery bed of ease, and make the world forget that much abused term udepressionn. HENRY HIMLER HIIENRIU Hrrf'.v H1 nryf Hifn1,- Fatf' rlr'1'rPffI him Fat i-nstfufl of Thin. For Henry many of us are grateful for var- ious reasons: First, his Ford has carried a great many Seniors a great number of milesg second, he can talk, K'Lord! how he can talkf, He has saved many embarrassing situations when les- sons were unprepared by his ability to carry on class discussions before a tremblingly interested audience. Henry excels in sport features, especially in horse-back riding and we hear he has proven himself a master of the horse and hfbjounds. Lately, however, Miss Fiscel has proven a close rival and each tries to excel the other in relating the adventures of the chase. We have learned they are especially fond of curves???? As a student Henry has held up his end of the line well, as librarian he has given untiring services, and as Advertising Editor he has done much to interest the town folk in the paper of which we are so proud. In 'lAll At Sean he was the Lord High Everythingelse', except the Lord High Execu- tioner. As a debator Henry certainly excelled for he argued on while still the wonder grew that one small head could carry all the points he knew. GEORGE HOPKINS PETE 4'Mm1y of the grmt mrm of history haw been llL7Il'L'Il'lItiUI? 'Dil stafure ' upetew, like all ingenius men, has a way of his own when it comes down to marking the absentees of the day. Finding one absent whose name is not in the little book is as rare a happening as a snowfall in July. George is not one to let a heavy task inter- fere with his cheerful disposition. The clouds never hover long over his particular section of the room. Pete,' is right there when it comes to thor- oughness and neatness and these qualities count for a great deal, in Bookkeeping especially.

THE OWL KING GEHR KKKINGJJ HA liitfle nonsense now wld tlwn, Is relished by the Izcst of mfmf' King is one of our best athletes and is also one of the most favored in the class rooms. One can never tell when he will make some bright remarlc and you may be sure there is plenty of humor in it and sometimes a sting, too, for the one against whom it is directed. Miss Fiscal has a wealfness for the way he gives reports ani it is needless to say that the class enjoys the unique way in which he tells us of the life of medieval poets and their works. On the athletic Held, King has shown us what he can do to the opposition. As pitcher on the baseball team he has gained such a reputation that the opposing batters feel no urge to be up and doingi' when it is their turn to face our Uspeed Demonn. However, in spite of his athletic strength King has fallen for a most prominent lady, a certain pretty black-haired girl who plays havoc with all of King's thoughts which linger 'Qmidn way. He is not at all mercenary for he has no desire for pounds but feels that he is wealthy in the possession of a single uShilling . KLEE GRUMBINE ' ' GRUMMIIQ ' ' UK stands for keenness, MII' stands for like- able ancl double e stands for eligibleg all to- gether spell uKlee.,' For the past two years we have all turned to GrummieU whenever any en- terprise needed a helping hand and how well ev- erything he was in turned out. One just knew that if anything was found wanting Klee would find some way to add the necessary touch. Whenever a play was presented Klee Grumbine's name was always found near the top of the cast for his dramatic ability is acknowledged by all. Klee is undecided about his future plans but he may teach elocution and show his pupils how to become the future Garbos and Gables and how to win declamarion contests. Whatever he de- cides upon we are wishing him success. ELI GUMMEL KCBENI7 Judge not from size the strength of man This personage before you represents our most famous cornetist and violinist. For four years Benn has held an exalted position in our High School orchestra and has shown his skill in various musical affairs. In the operetta Eli handled a long sword in the pirate chorus in a very stealthy manner. However, we feel quite sure that l'Ben will never resort to highway robbery as he is far too good natured for such practice. He can al- ways be depended upon to lend a helping hand to any fellowman who is in need. Ben's broad, broad smile has been a great help to us during his High School life and we feel sure this smile will win a pleasant path through the years to, yes, even to the ladies' hearts.

THE OWL JOHN HULL ' ' REVEKEND ' ' Ii is the quiet woirlcrzr who succeeds John is one of the most quiet and most re- served students of the Senior Class. He is a very dependable member of the Commercial Department and we are certain that some em- ployer will get an eHicient and able business manager. John is one of those strong silent men, whose dark hair and brown eyes have caused Min- nie feminine hearts to flutter. The sailor chorus of the Musical Comedy wouldnlt have been complete if it were not for ujohnnyv, the typical sailor boy. Whether John will be a business manager, or a preacher we do not know, but whichever it may be, the best wishes of the class of thirty-two will be with him. iHe may, after all, decide to hoe potato:-:s.J MAURICE KATZ KA'i'z I r1uz1'e had 'Hs AYUIJOIPOII, Honw had 'Hs C4u'.wzr, Eazglzmd haul its Cromwell, 1311! W. H. S. hrwl ils 'Katz' 'And it 's .vol 'riglzf ' f ' KatzH is noted for his abiilty to argue. Fast and furious fly the words when he and some other member of the class, preferably Bricks Englar, start an informal on the question to be decided. Katz,, generally comes out with colors flying, though these same are often both tattered and torn. Maurice has shown his executive ability as Grand Sachem of the magazine contest spon- sored each year by the Curtis Publishing Com- pany. He directed the contest in great style and we cannot help but feel that his managerial ability fortells his success in life. He is also the right hand of Miss Fiscel when her Owl inclines toward typed material. Here's the best of luck to you, Maurice! ERMA KING HERJXIAU We mn Zire without Tow and we can live without books, But 0'i'Uil-i2'8'd man cafn't Hoe without cooks! Author Forgotten. Coming down the list we come to a King just five feet three inches in height, but whether she holds her own in reigning over her own do- main may be determined by those who know her. Erma is a very active member of the Home Economics Club and we have heard, from a very reliable source, that she can cook. We find Erma is very much interested in cer- tain colleges, Gettysburg heading the list. How- ever, she intends to enter training and, as a king, keep her subjects always happy with her radiant disposition which, perhaps, accounts for her popularity. May the warmth of true friend- ship urge you to high attainments, Erma.
