A lion amoii! the ladies is a iiKist dreadful thing. ii ' jj? ' ,. with the exception of his wife Lizzie, is the C most notorious character in B S. N. S. His prow- ess in athletics, together with other qualities peculiar to himself alone, made him an accom])lished heart-smasher. His record along that line is well-nigh nnequaled. His motto is : Have a sweetheart in everv ]X)rt, and he lives n ) to it remarkalil - well. There ' s Centermoreland, and Luzerne, and Buttonwood, and - unfortunately, space pro- ]iii)its mentioning an - more. For further information in- (|uire of Bruce. He likes to talk about them.

It ' s hard to tell what profession he will take uji. If men ' s furnishing stores ever become .so ])rogressi -e as to have models on which to dis])la - the latest stvles, we think that that will Ise the job for Bruce. EULAH BOONE Espy NOR LAL COl ' RSli, I ' lIILO. ' Ijp ' ULAH is one of the ha]i])iest girls in the class, always C has a smile and greets the whole world with cheerful- ness. Not only do her features expre.ss joy but her voice as well. Altho .she is .so extremelx- light hearted she is one of the weightiest subjects the faculty- ha e for considera- tion. .She has great abilit ' as a vocal nmsic teacher in the model school but her greatest wt)rk is along dramatic lines. She is one of the be.st impersonators in the cla.ss. SARAH A. BRACE -Pittston ) ' HILO. . ()R. L L CorRSK TTHIS is .Sally, the schoolmarm of her famil. -. Father Brace wanted all his girls to .stay at home, but vSally, packing her little telescojie, and donning her plaid coat suit ana velvet hat sallied forth into the world to become a teacher of her fellowmen and to hel]i uplift the universe. In vain the call of the farm, the moo of the cow, and the cackle of. the hen. To Bloomsburg she must go, and here she is. vSarah is a g(iod teacher. Why, she even got a chance to teach geometry class one da - last year, and is quite an amateur in Shake.sperean plays. 20

No matter C what difficulties arise, she, in her mild and gentle way is able to overcome them and make the best of affairs. She is an active Y. W. C. A. worker, and the feelings of the student body were shown toward her when she was .sent as a delegate to the Lancaster Convention, ' 14. It was here that Martha made her biggest hit, at least we think .so from the reports given b ' the other members of the party. Martha seems esjiecially fond of ])ublic speaking and the days on wdiich the class a.ssembled for this jiurpose she could always be .seen with a bright and cheerful countenance. In the years to come, when thinking of Martha we shall associ A smile that wins, A tint that glows. ate the sax ' ing, KATHERINE EIERMAN Bloomsborg PHII.O. COLI.KGK PRKl .

MARGARET BRANNIGAN ]cddo .(), NORMAI, COrRSK. Ye gods ! How she would talk ! ' She would talk ! (JRANXKiAX is one of our jolly Irish lassies. .She has the real Irish good nature, hut woe he unto you if M)U do anxthing against her will ! Nature graced her with a gift of gab, and she uses it, too. Margaret is specializing in the Cani] us Course. She nia ' be seen on the grass morning, noon, and night, in fair weather and foul. It has been stated — yes, and sworn to b ' good author- it -, that she has broken the hearts of several of the sterner sex since she has come to B. vS. N. vS The thing aliout Margaret that most excites our curios- it ' is, wh - does she like Miss Car]ienter the best of all the critic teachers ? Can it be that the name influences her? We feel sure that she will teach the twenty ears allotted us all b - Prof. Bakeless, if the many suitors evajiorate. Otherwise, even the two years look doubtful. In her we see the future Mrs. Pankhurst. EDITH M. BRAY-Jermyn I ' HII.O., V. V. C. A., XOR.MAl. CDlRSIi. Th ' modest - is but a candle to th - -irtue CM EVER has there been a more modest, quiet, and unas- C suming girl than Edith, If we beliex-ed e -er thing she tells us, we would think it impossible for her to do anxtliing worth while. However, her cla.ss and the Y. W. C. A. dis- covered her true value .soon after she came here, and she has become indispensable to their welfare. When Edith is given any work to carry out, you max- be sure it will be done thoroly, and in the best possible way. Ever since May Day, 1914, she has been noted for her executive abilit -, -and thereby hangs a tale ! Ivdith is ]ilanning to be a domestic .scienceress. This is just the work she is made for, and we prophesy that she will be one of the wonderful successes that Dr. Waller likes to tell about in Cha])el.
