 Charles McGahan “Zealous, yet modest; innocent tho’ free; Patient of toil, serene amidst alarms, Inflexible in faith, invincible in arms.” Charles is one who, thought quiet in his undertakings, has made a suc- cess of everythin}; he has tried. He is a scholar, but better still, he is a dandy athlete. The basketball team next year will miss him, but a team some place else will have gained a good player. We feel confident that Charles will win honors both in scholarship and athletics when he enters another school. Louise Wellington “Music that would charm forever.” Louise is just full of music—full to running over—and we have been fortunate enough to get a share of it. All year Louise has been won- derfully faithful and obliging as our pianist and we should surely have been lost without her. The indirect cause of her nickname may be that of her incessant giggling for isn’t there an old adage— Laugh and grow fat?” Catherine McGrath “Thoughtful, loyal, ready to do, And a friend to cheer when you feel blue.” Katie is one of those girls whom everyone can call a true friend. Kindness and happiness permeate her presence. Outside of her jolly nature she is an excellent commercial stu- dent. Catherine is also a great novel reader. Most of her spare time is spent in reading novels. If she con- tinues as good as she has been in school she may be certain of heaps of friends and success in her work. Howard Shaffer “Silence is deep as eternity; Speech is shallow as time.” Howdy seems backward among the Seniors and especially in the class- room; but, on the baseball diamond he is one of the team’s mainstays. Although his name has never been seen among the leaders, Howdy is always there to give the necessary support.

Jane Fronheiser “She can dance and she can sing, She can do most anything.” One might think, to hear Jane in classes that her sole ambition was that of making “A’s.” However, there is no doubt that she manages to squeeze in every bit of dancing possible, even yielding to its charm during the noon hour. No one blames Jane a bit, but rather admires her for being able to shine in both. Mildred Hammer “And her modest nature and quiet air Show her as good as she is fair.” Mildred seems to be such a mod- est and quiet girl, but many have changed their opinion about her since the Washington trip. Millie was one of the liveliest girls in the crowd—always full of fun and ever ready for excitement. Although Mildred lives away from here, she has been with us four school years. There’s a mutual feeling eoncerning Millie—she likes the school and we all like her. Louiae Hammer “None knew her but to love her.” Slowly but surely Louise has en- twined herself in our hearts, so firmly that we shall never forget her. Always sweet and pleasant, ever ob- liging and generous. She has en- tered into all the activities of the school. Is it any wonder that we hate to lose her? Margaret Jones “Those about her, from her, shall read the perfect ways of honor.” There is no doubt of Peg's success as a student and she has quite an in- terest in all the other phases of school life. Margaret desires to con- tinue her stenographieal work at the Margaret Morrison school and we hope that her desire will be fulfilled.

Ruth Palliser “A quiet lass, there are but few Who know the treasure hid in you.” Ruth is our quiet student. She is never idle—yet she always has time to smile and lend a helping hand. She has been our classmate four years, yet we had to go to Washing- ton before we really learned to know her. Someone (?) will get a real wife, for she is an accomplished cook. Viola Proudfoot ‘‘To those who know her not, no words can paint; And those who know her, know all words are faint.” Pi is an artist in more than one sense of the word. She is blessed with the talent of drawing and paint- ing. Her work in the Phoenician is merely a suggestion of what she really can do, for the lack of space deprived her of displaying her excel- lent work. Not only does she pos- sess artistic but also athletic and so- cial talents and a most attractive personality. Alma Reynolds “Write me as one who loves his fel- low-men.” We feel that this expresses Alma exactly. Although she has just been with us this year, she has gained many friends throughout the school through her jollity and good humor. We know she will have just as many after she leaves us, for she is one who makes friends wherever she goes. Elizabeth Sloan O darkly, deeply, beautifully blue.” A glance at her sparkling eyes and ever-present smile makes you suspect that behind them lies a heap of fun. One Ynoment with her, and your sus- picions are confirmed, for she is all mirth. Honey almost missed the trip to Washington, for her old age was telling on her in the form of rheuma- tism, but—trust Hun! She went.
