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

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

9 Helen Brennan- Patty Helen is one of the quiet girls of our class, seldom speaking unless spoken to?'???? She is a member of the noisy dinner bunch, but seldom participates in any amusements indulged in dur- ing the period. She is very fond of studying her lessons especially Shorthand. We hope to see Helen as Shorthand teacher in Branchdale school in the near future. Russell Kepner- Russ, Kupie He hath a lusty bellow. Russ is one of Mr. Canfield's hated rivals in the art of throwing the bull. His ideas are usually very original being very different from everybody else's. It does not pay to get in an argument with him because you never get a chance to get anything in edgeways. He has a very hearty laugh that shows he has a Very good appetite. Of course he has to sample all the food before it is fit for the Pure Food Store to put on the market. Russ has held differ- ent offices and' positions during his four years and has many friends in the class. We see him in the future as the president of a corporation of Pure Food Stores. Kathryn Bawden- Kit In the second year of our journey through the halls of P. H. S. We met this clever girl called Kitty, by friends who do confess Her wondrous art of playing the piano night and day, Has made many friends very happy and all of them quite gay. I -.26
