RUTH MAY GANGEWER FULLERTON As not all things are good and-true, Why should aught ever bother you? Ruth May was born in the City of All6Ht0WU. -one of the delightful cities of the Lehigh Valley. This city has already passed the hundred thou- sand mark and, as it now is one of the beautiful cities of the State, it soon will be one of the large cities of the State. . Ruth seeks to become a stenographer and will have a business career. Whether it be a busi- ness career, whether it be a professional career, or neither of these, let it be a successful career. Ruth says that she feels that she has learned to conquer and that, whatever the line of en- deavor may be, she will end each day in victory. Ruth finds Fullerton a wonderful place in which to live and believes it to be fairer and finer than what these cities areg she believes it is better to know a number of people in a small place than to know no one in a large place. Athletic Organization C105 Glec Club UD. N Elwood studied his biology in school to such an extent that it was easy for him to arrive at conclusions. He thoroughly believed in the survival of the fittest. This was one of his pet theories to which he held with the tenacity of his bulldog. - One day he met a man with whom Elwood argued the question. The arguments of the other man caused doubt to cluster round about his pet scheme. The other man did not seem to believe in the survival of any one. For a long time. Elwood seemed dazed and had not much to say. Finally, the matter was taken up with Elwood's most sincere lady friend. Now, let me say she went a hustling for an answer. She told Elwood not to be too serious with the other man as each man has his likes and his dislikes. THE. OTHER MAN WAS AN UNDER- TAKER! No! No! No! he did not believe in the survival of the fittest!

ADAM FREUND l'lOKENDAUQUA Let not your growtli poke a liole into the sky, Should you permit this, your friends would wonder why. Adam Freund may be best known to Whitehall I-Iigh School as both a student and an athlete. ln his former undertaking,- he has the warm admiration of his friends. ln his latter achievements, he has warmed his Catasauqua friends. These may have had a belief that they owned Whitehall High School athletically, but are slowly being taught that Whitehall High School intends to build its own Hconventions. Thus, our Catasauaua friends had about 252, of the basketball business this year. This Whitehall student has been a splendid athletic asset, would make the welkin ring, might make the cheer lassies sing: The athletic star of Catasauqua is dropping from the sky . While many a Catasauqua lassie stands by with tear-dimmed eye. Basketball q1-2-3-4p,- Varsity C3-45, Athletic JOHN BASS FREEMAN WEST CATASAUQUA Come, let us sit and think a while, E'cr any complaint wc stiouldjfle. John comes to us from West Catasauqua where many good people reside and take an interest in schools and in school life. So, john has always been a very good student and many a gallon of midnight oil went into his studies. john was, also, a very thoughtful student and advised the youth who was about to embark on an ocean trip that champagne was not any good for sea sickness and that the only thing that he could advise was port,-the sooner he got there the better. John, also, has an economical bent of mind always advising his classmates to take longer strides so that shoe leather might be saved. The long strides were all right but they demoral- ized the goosestep so. This student likes his mathematics quite a lot and figured out just what a kiss isg he found it was nothing divided by two. Later, in chem- istry, he was corrected when he learned that some girls with selfish motives in mind will only kiss the diabetic. Surely, sugar must be good!

HARRIET AMANDA GETZ FULLERTON In these, the :lays of gladsome youth, Each will try to build up in truth. Harriet holds the town of Fullerton in pleasant memory, loves the place, loves the people there, with fondness views their going out and their coming in. Leaving these pleasant people about four years ago, Harriet sought shelter within the walls of Whitehall High School and, there, in the presence of the members of her class, began to soar into the ver hei hts of the truths there Y g set forth from day to day. Harriet has been a strong student in student daysg set out to do her duty and has done all of it as far as the school is concerned. When, however, the day is done and the night is at hand, Harriet seeks the lovelier precincts of home and thither will she go. Some day, she will be employed in some office in some worthwhile concern where her work will be of the nature it was hereg her employers will like her because of the faithfulness with which she will do her work.

On the banks of the winding Lehigh is sit- uated the town of Hokendauqua. Gillespie hails from this town. As a student, Gillespie will bring honor to his Alma Mater-Whitehall High School. While a student, he made himself thoroughly known from Mt. Pocono to the very crest of the Lehigh Mountains. He was thoroughly known through- out the length and breadth of this stretch both as a'student and as an athlete. As an athlete he engaged very frequently in the undoing of the athletic teams and in the undoing of many a pseudo-athlete. He took what they thought they had and held it by virtue of his holding power. Get Gillespie was the slogan of many a team bearing down upon Whitehall High. Yet, Gillespie will be known as an athlete when most of his sour-grapes antagonists' are truly and well forgotten.
