WILLIAM A. MORROW B. .S'. Lafayette. Instructor in History and Science. Assistant Principal and Assistant Athletic Instructor. Here is our revered and honored teacher of history and science—Prof. William A. Morrow. We learned in English that “versatile” describes him. He is a champion wrestler and boxer, he can “jazz” up a fiddle and cello and play pretty melodies on the autoharp, and he is our master electrician. If you could hear his radio instrument, you would know this last expression is true. He journeys to Adams-town religiously every Wednesday and Saturday night. Why? CHRISTINE G. HAPPLE A B. Lebanon Valley College ’21. Instructress in English and Latin. Christy, the fair Christy, the musical teacher of English, pianist, of our orchestra and of our chorus. We shall always remember her as the graceful, amiable teacher and companion. Miss Happle has one sad failing, we fear, that she is very much interested in all that pertains to the letter M—Maxwell, magicians and such. In fact, such things often cause a sleepiness next morning. So be careful—C. H. I ■! ! C,: I H ....... Pour

What would Margaret do if she could not see her pretty blue eyes at least three times a day? Peg considers her curling iron and her powder puff, the necessities of life. She is a clever child, fond of amusement, can play a piano with the skill of a finished (?) musician. It is not known what new influence has been brought to bear upon her. but at present Margaret is very much interested in a French dry cleaning establishment. ETHEL M. NOLL Class Treasurer (3) (4) Class Poet; Girl Reserve. Dimple, Dimple. Who Has the Dimple. Kthcl's dimple is always seen when there is any fun or work about. A true woman, modest, quiet and gentle—she is the type you always expect to see as a spectator, but she fools you. Work is her middle name, nor is she adverse to a little fight, when she is sure she is right. As for fun, watch F.tliel when there is any around. She’s usually in it. She is an all around girl. In fact, she might have been in the poet’s mind when he expressed this sentiment: A perfect woman nobly planned. Is the highest work of God.” 9Nll!mifflllflillllll!llll!H Six
