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.

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.

DORIS BARTLE Mansfield, Pa. The quietest, most demure little girl in the class. She ' s a reserved little thing, you don ' t get to know her in a minute. A sweet lovable disposition is hers; she ' s industrious by nature, and is a faithful student. Doiis has that quiet, unassuming manner that never fails one in the accomplishment and aim of purpose. Here ' s to you, Doris, luck go with you! MANDERVILLE BARTLE Mansfield, Pa. Emersonian Society. The man with the violin , that is Manderville Bartle; and within him we believe there are the sparks of that which we call genius. We can ' t forget his music; it appeals too directly to our hearts. He is a quiet fellow, quietly observing and quietly going about his own affairs. Ever ready is he to help out with any program, be it a Y. M. musical number or a literary meeting. He ' s a valuable fellow; here ' s to Manderville. GERTRUDE BATCHELLER Knoxville, Pa. Gerty, Trudie Emersonian Society. Celestial pools of light , gray shadow wells , call them anything you wish, you can ' t describe them. When she was a Junior she was known as The girl with the wonderful eyes, and the name still sticks. As a safeguard against the possible results of such eyes, Providence gave her her last name. A mighty good student is Trudie , but we never see her working. She is one of the lucky few who do not have a hollow feeling when Model School time comes round.
