PRUDA ERWAY. Pruda Erway fii st saw the light of this earth near Harrison Valley, one day in September. She was graduated from the Valley High School and after teaching ' two years found herself at Clarion Normal, January 1910, registered as a mem- ber of the class of ' 11. She is quiet and unassuming, but persistent and nin bilious and always ready to lend a li el ping hand. Pruda ' s most fre- quent saying is I know I ' ll Flunk. We think there would be no danger, if she wouldn ' t spend quite so much time curling her hair. .Her favorite sport is catching mice at midnight. A little more courage, Pruda, so you won ' t have to awaken your neighbors to kill them. ETHEL FITZSIMMONS Ethel Fitzsimons, one of our bright and industrious little girls was born near Brookville in 1SS5 (?). From the first she showed remarkable rea- soning power, which still clinging to her, helped to smooth many dif- ficulties in Geometry. After teach- ing successfully for two years, she came to the Normal where she takes an active interest in school affairs and is always ready to do her duty. Ethel is especially bind of Ethics and Logic. Wonder what the attrac- tions might be. May she always have success in her chosen profession, namely that of teaching children. ALICE FENSTAMAKER. Yes, there is Biddy, the worthy- Secretary of our class, who has= fait.h fully performed the du ' .jles of that office for the last three years. Everybody wears a smile when Biddy comes around, for her sunny disposition and lovable ways drive away all morbid feelings. Although she produces this effect in our daily lives, she certainly goes the limit on the stage, where she can pro- duce the appearance, manners, and speech of a mammy cook to per- fection. Her favorite pastimes are- shooting, goals and holding hands after class meeting. Biddy also pos- sesses the fine arts of a musican; she can play anything from the simple hymns we used to sing in Chapel to the classical works of Chopin and Wagner. Alice ' s great. ability lies in the fact that she knows the right word in the proper place. JESSIE GATES. ' Happy-go-lucky Jess first com- menced to talk in Bedford, and has become quite proficient in that line. She takes good care not to let her studies interfere with the more im- portant things of life. Her favorite- pursuits are tennis and basket-ball. She is also very well versed in other- lines, just ask Sluge.

CORA OP. ACT. Some time ago a dark eyed baby was born in the little village of F.ills Creek. This maiden whom we all know as Cora Gracy is one of the best natured mirth provoking members of the clasr. Cora ranks high both intellectually and socially happy to be As of tion, her desire was to find some quiet place where she might ponder over the works of noted authors. In this way she gained both wisdom and happiness. During her last few months at C. S. N. S. she could often be heard repenting the words, Scratch, Scratch. Sc ratch thy cold blue page, oh pen, I RUTH HAPFLEY The innocent sleep, Sleep that knits the ravelled sleeve of care The blue eyed Ruthie first commenc- ed to talk in James Creek. If there, is anything you wish to talk about go to Ruthie: she can talk intelligi- bly on almost any subject. She is greatly interested in Phvsios parti- cularly the subject o heat. Having carefully studied connection and radiation currents, she has come to the conclusion that the Alum Rock Heater is the most practical. Fre- quently she gets up early in the morning to play tennis or a joy ride — M7rabile Dictu— She was gradu- ated from the Kittanning High School with honors. She is a mem ber of the Glee rtj,- ' -, Senior Quar- tette, and Franklin Society. It ' mav also be added that Ruthie is ar. active member in the Taka Bila EUGENE GUTHRIE. Readers, when you look into this mild sweet face, you may think that you behold the original Angel Child; but do not be deceived. When Guth was quite young he took a journey south, where he became a victim of the hookworm. This dis- ease is most plainly shown in Phy- sics class, when he would rather receive a goose egg for his recita- tion than to rise to his feet. Gut.h ' s strong point is that he. does not yield to the heart crushing looks, which the girls cast upon him. lie is by no means a mummy, hut is very clever with the baskei -ball, and professes to be skilled in me use of the padded mitts. His favor- ite expression is I ' ll land on your whistle. FLORENCE HARRIGER. From Beechwood comes our cheerv good natured Florence. She never makes much noise but when she ' houses, she can make others bubble over with laughter by her witty saymgs. Florence did not seem to pay particular attention to the vnun- men but somehow her seatmate iii nearly all of her classes happened to be one of the opposite sex. In Latin class it seemed to take her and the young man with whom she sat a long time to get awake to the fact that they were in class. She is always ready to help whenever she is needed and is in every wav one of the most agreeable members of our class.
