Nelson Lessig- Nels The more shallow the bowl the fewer the soup. This is what Nels thinks and so he has hlled up his bowl fl mean his headj with great ideas. He and Zerbe are great pals. Nels is a very bright student, at least his grades show it. Nels is a rather quiet sort of fellow but K. O. Eberle challenged him and to his dismay took the count of l0 Cdemeritsj. Nels will study medicine. VVe wish him the same suc- cess as he had in his recent case?? Thomas Williams- Tom VVheu the roll is called up yonder, Illl be there. - Tom is a great church member. He takes up the collection in prayer meeting. This fellow never stole, lied, swore, chewed, drank, etc., or partook of anything that was not heavenly. He is a perfect Gabriel. Tom is also a great musician, rivaling Beethoven. He is a great chum of Raymond's. Death is the only thing that can separate them. We wish Tom great success in his future undertakings. George Martin- Dog,qie Much study is a weariness to the flesh. We have here the brains of chestnuts, the star forward of the Basket Ball Team and the 'Acrookf' George is a wonderful dancer, besides his other accomplishments. He, too, is a ladies' man' having captured the affections of nu- merous girls, his latest victim being Nell. George is an ideal crook as was shown by his actions in the Senior play. He and Nell were some accomplices CU. Too bad the play only comes once a year, 'ADoggie. George will succeed father as champion blacksmith of Pottsville. We wish him success in his future affairs. 25

Ruth Eckert- Smi1es' ' Smile and the world smiles With von, Weep and you weep alone. This ,is true of Ruth. She is champion giggler of the class. Once started, it becomes contagious. And her pretty red cheeks are not painted-they are her very own. Ruth is a true friend of the true and no one could find a better friend, as Mary, Hazel and Lib can prove. She is very studious QD and we all know she will reach great heights in the future. CMaybe Greenwood Hillj. John D. Myers- Dee - Himself the judge and jury. We have here John D., but not Rockefeller by any means, because Iohn's favorite occupa- tion is gambling and he is not much of a success at it, either. Dee is one of the philosophers of the class, philosophy coming as second nature to him. He is also one of the debaters of the class, generally siding with the girls. john is real bashful but managed to forget for one day, until he succeeded in obtaining a partner. CHard luck, Kleiny j. Iohn will some day become professor of astronomy in one of our large universities. Elizabeth Brobst- Brobsty Her words were simple and her soul sincere. Elizabeth is one of our quiet girls. We have in our possession no record of any boisterous outbreak on her part since she entered High School. We are proud of her for this fact, for it is a rare achievement for a High School Senior. While Elizabeth does not make herself conspicuous in school affairs, she is one of the most loyal students P. H. S. has ever seen, and we would like to have a few more like her., 0 24

Ethel Harrison- Ethel For silence and chaste reserve is woman's genuine pralsef' Ethel certainly is an exception to her sex, for she very seldom speaks. She is fond of reading and spends a great part of her time in doing so. She is to be complimented on her regular attendance even though she lives in St. Clair. This young lady intends some day to be a language teacher. We all wish her much success. Charles H. Williams- Bat Training of body as well as mind is, what he sought. Ladies and gentlemen-VVe now present one of the most noted members of our class. Bat was president of our class, business manager of the book, centre of the Foot Ball Team, pitcher of the Base Ball Team and centre on the Basket Ball Team, so you see Bat sure has trained his body. Charley is a ladies' man, having had several cases since his entry into school, but they lie mainly in the Freshman Class. We wonder which one it is, Charles. l'Bat as a policeman is a good yeoman. After graduating, Charles will study electrical en- gineering and we hope to see him as professor of engineering in U. of P. rr Hattie Weiner- Hattie Patience and gentleness is power. Hattie is one of the quiet girls of the class. She is quite studious, and usually has an answer for any question asked her. She was two years in the Commercial Department and we welcomed her when she changed to the H. S. course. Hattie is a man-hater. She and Frances are close friends. WVe wish her suc- cess in the business world after her gradu- ation. 26
