ELEANOR BATTENBERG Scranton, Pa. Batty Philomethean Society; Captain Girls ' Basketball; This is Batty , and if we tried to enumerate all her good points we ' d have to print this book in two volumes, so we desist. Batty ' s face is round and rosy. She makes you think of Cream of Wheat advertisements. Health and fun just bubble out of Batty . Of all the merry Ha, Ha ' s that echo thru the hall, Batty ' s is the merriest. Though you be a Diogenes, you can ' t help smiling when Batty winks a dimple at you. Blue Devils breathe their last at her approach. Here ' s to Batty , bless her. EMMA BEACH Columbia X Roads, Pa. Emersonian Society. The maiden with the bright brown eyes, In whose orbs a shadow lies, Like the dusk in evening skies. A better-hearted, more whole-souled girl never lived. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Emma. She is a faithful and conscientious student. She has the rare ability of remaining agreeable and sweet when everyone else is grouchy. Faithful to the end is Emma, loyal, big-hearted, true-blue. PAULINE BENNETT New Milford, Pa. Emersonian Society. This is Pauline. We sometimes think she is teetotally disgusted with us and life in general. But be that as it may, we have to admit that she ' s wise with the wisdom of sages; she vows she has found the way to uplift all (man-) kind, namely, thru the course of least resistance. Thus only, says Pauline, can you get at a man ' s heart, and, as it is an established fact that the way to that organ is thru his stomach, take therefore this way, and proceed to uplift him. No need to say that Pauline is a Senior in Domestic Science.

RUBY ANDRUS Burlington, Pa. Combine fluffy yellow hair, round baby-blue eyes, pink cheeks and a quaint, quizzical smile, with a slightly romantic turn of mind, an avowed hatred of all things in a Science Laboratory, and you have Ruby. She ' s quiet and still she isn ' t. She is the kind you can best imagine in a big bungalow apron with a spoon in one hand and a fudge pan in the other, and still we do not even know if she can cook. She is more or less of a conundrum, and as yet she hasn ' t been solved. DONALD ARNOLD Mount Lick, W. Va. Tuckey , Don Alta Petens Society; Basketball, Varsity Football; Senior Class Treasurer; Assistant Business Manager of Carontawan; Class Will. Tuckey hails from the lumber camps of West Virginia, and a more quiet (?), bashful (?), little fellow never set foot on a Normal campus. Indiana ws not good enough for him, so he wisely came to us, woe unto the susceptible hearts of certain blue- eyed maidens, for Tuckey favors brown when it comes to eyes, and we have it on good authority that such a pair exists in Scranton. Perhaps that .-counts for the fact that so far this year Don has remained heart-whole and fancy-free. HOLLEY ASHCRAFT Westfieid, Pa. ' Petey Dink Emersonian Society; Glee Club; Scrub Football, Varsity Basketball; Organization Editor of Caron- tawan. This is Petey Dink , or, simply call him Petey , it makes no difference to him, for let us whisper it gently, in some things he is simply Batty . Out of the Cowanesque Valley he comes, wearing both football and basketball laurels cocked rakishly over his ears. He doesn ' t say very much, but he expresses a great deal with a slightly condescending amused grin which is a puzzle to all. Petey ' s idea of Heaven is a mixture of tennis courts, gym floors, and racquets ' ; give him these and he is supremely happy. IE

ELSIE BIDDLEMAN Factoryville, Pa. Athenaean Society, Athenaean Contributor. BRAINS! WHEW! She looks innocent enough, but looks are most deceiving in the case of this fair-haired, blue-eyed slip of a tiling. She knows everything that a normal person should know, and some that abnormal peisons don ' t know. And still she ' s as human as any of the rest of us. She torments her bosom friends until they yell in self-defense and then she sits back on her heels and grins. And with it all she is just as sweet and obliging and tender-hearted as one could wish. (Can ' t tell any more, space limited.) CLIFFORD BALCH Westfield, Pa. Emersonian Society. This easy-going individual hails from Westfield. Would you think him capable of a dirty, measly trick ? Well he is, for we have it on record that last year he actually cheated State Board men out of their perfectly ligitimate right of tortur- ing him. How? Ask him if he didn ' t oppo tunely develop a case of measles on the Sunday of that auspicious week, thereby causing himself to be removed to the hospital and fed on toast and marmalade. Clifford had an affair of the heart once which accounts for his dreamy expression. LOUISE BARNHARDT Elmira, N. Y. Athenaean Society; President Glee Club; Assistant Art Editor Carontawan. This is Louise. Louise of the red cheeks. Louise of the bright eyes. Louise, the gifted. Her fingers have magic in them, gentle reader, if you don ' t believe it, look thru these pages, searching for the tiny letters L. B. Louise can knit. Louise can sing. Louise can draw. There isn ' t anything Louise can ' t do. We have only one fault to find with her and that is, she looks so much like St. Cecilia that she ' s fooled the faculty as regards her real character, and this we maintain is a grievous sin.
