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.

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.

TI-IE OWL 25 NORVAL LEFFERT ' ' BALLEY ' ' ' 'A mam afmrmg men., zz limi among the ladies 'QBalley,' is a good natured fellow but quite a booster. He may be seen at lunch times or at other vacant minutes exerting his mighty strength over some of his companions and over the Juniors as wellg winning out in the favor of a certain Junioress. Though not a lazy boy Bailey operates on the motto Never do today what you can let go until tomorrow and don't do it then if you can get out of it. He is an intelligent, good-look- ing boy with apparently never a worry or care. All through his high school career Norval has made a mark as a student and also as an ath- lete. Here's to your success, hoping that you may use your strength to the best advantage and bring credit to the class of BZ , RUSSELL LEISTER RUSS ' ' The helplfss look of blooming infa-':1cy Athough Russell is a full fledged member of the Senior Class you would never guess as much. Evidently he intends to keep out of the public eye for he abhors the idea of making a speech before the history class. Nevertheless, he is not without his bright moments for he was one of the trestles of the mighty bridge, Gram- mar , spanning the river of Bad English, at the beginning of the year, and he is still a reliable support of his class even though the subject has changed to literature. We don't know what Russell will do after he graduates but we believe that we shall probably Find him down on the farmu helping along with the Farm Relief Bill to keep depression away from the soil. MARGARET LEWIS ' ' M ARGIE ' ' Sim tflvklwi fverytllifng that came hm' way With Il joyful 11011-'l'f.H First in work, First in play, and first in the hearts of her classmates. A 'lstarn on the vol- ley team and an uaceu in her classes. Never shirk one thing to do anotheru is Margaret's motto. During her senior year she has Reflicientlyn filled the positions of class secretary, and as librarian. And how she plays on the heart strings when those Peeling', chords flow from her violin. Margaret has not only entertained in the school orchestra but displayed her musi- cal talent in the county orchestra as well. She was the only one chosen to represent our high school in the State orchestra at the High School Teacherls Asociation. Margaret is a firm believer in the old adage, Laugh and the world laughs with you, which will chase away much of the gloom which hovers over the cots in the hospital where Margaret hopes to begin her future work. W, H. S. is wishing you as much success along life's road as along your high school path,
