Erma. V. Taylor- Erzy, Deah For youth, society holds no grief. And indeed at times we are inclined to believe Erma's idea of good times. Erma is one of the popular girls of the class and deserves to be be- cause she never lacked school spirit. She came out for hockey and was a valuable addition to the team. Last year when she came out for basket hall, she had the misfortune to get a black eye, but all the same out she comes again this year. Erma is certainly talented in music, as we have found it out from her playing in chapel three years and every now and then favoring us with different selections which were always enjoyed very much. We know Erma will be successful and perhaps some day we will see her name in the headlines as announcing her first concert in so small a town as Potts- ville. John Buchanan- Buck His mother's pride, his father's joy. Here We have Saint Clair's most noted citizen. He came to us last Fall and has proved a val- uable addition being well posted on all kinds of news. Buck has been overseas and can tell some thrilling stories of the war. VVe consider it an honor to have him in the class. His mouth is in constant motion, either eating or talking. NN'e regret very much that on the trip to Crystal Cave we lost Buck a few times and we were obliged to stop and wait for him to again take his place on the back of the truck, but we were glad to see that it had no ill effects upon his health and that he was able to come to school again the next day. In days to come, Buck will he proprietor of Saint Clair. Success old friend! Edith Sunday- Edif'fs, Tommy Do thou but pierce her reserve and an interest- ing girl thou findestf' Ediffs is an exposition of that wellknown say- ing, Still water runs deep. She has seen the high lights of Annapolis and we expect to hear in time the announcement of her engage- ment to a certain young Junior from Annapolis unless she decides to become a DFS Wife and live in Royinsford. 24

Frank Krebs- Boo, Krebs Much study is a weariness of the flesh. The flrst day of school, as we marched into the Auditorium, we noticed a number of people whom we learned were representing Saint Clair this year. Among them We noticed a rosy cheeked fat Dutchman. This boy was Frank Krebs, a favorite son of Saint Clair. Instead of spending his time at lessons he often dreams, this being an annoyance to most of his teachers. He was in love several times with certain Senior Commercial girls, although the affairs were not serious. He rivals VVilliam Krieg in being the proud possessor of a 1908 model Ford. He often joins Ed. and Buck. in their trips to Bevo, which is near Beer. Ruth Williams- Ruthie l Her voice was low and sweetga lovely thing in a woman. What innocent Cherub have we here? Note the curly hair, the dimpling pink cheeks, and the alluring set of the sensitive mouth. Her unfailing good humor and unassuming attitude have assured her popularity with her classmates. Ruth believes in the old saying, Smile and the World smiles with you. Perhaps that is the reason that her face is always ready to break into a smile. Bill Krieg- Bill, Kriegie Beware of spooning and mooningf' Here we have the ladies' friend of the class. Bill is a very great favorite. We have decided his success is due to the fact that he owns a newly painted Ford and is quite liberal with lifts to and from anywhere. Bill has recently mastered the art of dancing and now is patron- izing various dance halls, trying to become an expert and put The Misses Linder and Miss Wilhelm out of business. He may succeed in years to come. Bill has a part in the play and makes a good German professor. We know that he and his Ford will become famous and we think that it may be in the Planing Mill busi- DSSS. 23

1 Maud C. Saylor- Connie How far that little candle throws its beamsa So shines a good deed in a naughty world. Maud is another of Saint CI21il S daughters who came to us last fall. From the first she nas shown school spirit and when the call for hockey came. Maud was even ready to play goaler. Maud has many friends among the class and no one would ask for a better pal. Scholarship counts and she is one of Mr. Briggs stars in trigg. In Chemistry, History and English she has a reputation worthy of imitation. Maud al- ways finds something to talk about the fourth period in study hall and there is still something to say the second period in the afternoon. VVhat she doesn't say she writes. Maud knows who's who and what's what in the dinner bunch. We can foresee a brilliant career for Maud teaching her beloved math. to a group of privileged fol- lowers. Howard Seaman- Murphy A light heart lives long. Howard is a good natured, easy going lad with enough pep to keep anything going. He is on the baseball team this year and certainly helps make it a good one. He, of course, does not be- lieve in too much study. Howard has a smile for every one even on the glofvmiest day of the year. In the Senior play he is a girl to perfec- tion. For a while Howard was a soda-slinger down at Hodgson's hut the business became en- tirely too common and he resigned. Now we do not know what he is going to do. It is pos- sible that Howard may advertise switches and hair dye for his sister's beauty parlor in the days to come. We wish you success, old top. Mary I-lennessy- Hennie For she was just the kind, whose nature never varies. Every hair in place, precise from head to toe. No matter what she's doing, she always looks just so. And though her dainty waist-line is scarcely twenty-one, She rare'y touches chocolates!- For fear of gaining some. 25
