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

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

Lois Eberwein- Louey , Tip Beware nf spnfming and mnnningf' ' Oh, and here's Port Carbon's representative! l.ouey is very quiet and bashful in classes, hut out of them, oh, my! Her blushing must have captured iRoseherry's heart because he has made several visits to Port Carbon lately. ln later years we hope to hear of them settling down in a little cottage near Stevie's Dam. William Haskins- Bill T come from haunt of cnet and liernf' And so he does. Bill wends his weary way every morning' from the wilds and woody jungles of Mt. LaHee to school. He appears to he quiet and bashful, but get him started and oh, my-l He is a strong advocate of The Freedom of the Trish and of Prohibi- tion, Allow us to explain the causes. Bill , you see, is Irish himself and second, his father is a manufacturer of soft drinks. We wish him success in future life. - Elizabeth Hoffmaster-- Biss' CByssj f 1'he sweetest noise on earth, a VV0l'Il5il'1lS tongue- a string which has no discord. . Byss is a great talker, always ready to stand up for the right, especially inMr.l,ehr's English class. Byss'l, Ruth and Vondie form an almost inseparable trio. In fact, the whole trio talks a great deal, but what would our class he without their chattering? Byss ' allieetion for the opposite sex does not lie in Pottsville, but travels' daily to Philadelphia and Frank at Pitt University. Byss regu- larlv attends the Garden, being a close second to Lila Lee, and afterwards can be found either in Hodgson's or Iinschies. '27
