LEONA ATHERTON Honlocks Creek cAi.ui; NORMAI COIRSK ' :j ' f EONA is a loyal Callie as well as a faithful V. W. C. A. ' worker. Late and early she can be found working for the welfare of her society and association. Ves, she has had a realh ' serious love affair, but she is not going to be married, even if you did hear differentl -. She is able to turn her hand to all things, and has proved to be a sort of guardian angel to many of the girls because of her sew- ing talents. Is always read - to give any one help who may need it.

T[|T is hard to recognize, in this dignified senior, the funny O little girl who came in our Junior year ready to be agreeable and so sent in cards of admission to lioth societies because both .societies had asked her to join. It happened that she was so agreeable that the class of 191 5 would not have been able to do without her. At first we could not understand her plain English but gradually she learned to talk civilized language and now she is almost entirely Americanized and even uses slang. And sing— she can .sing like a bird and it is a ])leasure to a.sk her to sing for she is always read - to do it without being coaxed. Here again she is agreeable. Such a girl as you can tell our troubles to and know that ou will re- ceive symjiathy and help ; one whom you can call upon for an -thing and know that she will not fail ou —all of these she is. But what about lessons ? Hush ! That is a dangerous topic. We do not like to speak upon it But we will say this -that when Xora comes into your room about fif- teen minutes before the close of study hour and sleepilx- asks, have you that ' what ' s-its- nanie ' book ? You know- the one we use in Prof. Bakeless ' class - then you know she has begun to studx . MARGUERITE AYERS Wilkes-Barre PHII.O.. PHILO DRAMA, V. W. C.

She becomes quite enthusias- tic in her tindertakings, more enthii.siastic in the results, and most enthusiastic in History of Ed. Altho Peg is very demonstrative in her manner, she is no fusser. Is -ery jtractical in all things. She is one who believes in a life of work, and belongs to the studious. .She seems to have house wifely instincts born within her, and it is the desire of the class that at .some time she will be given a chance to display them. Her motto has always been : Speak freely what ou think. What she knows she (ayers ) And what she airs is mostly wind. is

RUTH ALBERT Bloomsburg I ' llII.ll. ' . V. L. A. NORMAL COntSK ' jIF it were not for Ruth, casing would never be a suc- • cess at Old Normal. It takes Ruth to straighten out the kinks and kurl - kues. Even her name, which means sorrow for the misery of another, bears out the statement which we have just made. All the love stricken swains flock over to consult Ruth, and it doesn ' t cost a cent for advice. Also, she is quite a soloist, having gained a repu- tation for Inlaying and singing in societ ' . If it were not for le.s.sons, Ruth would be hapi)y as a lark, but they are such worrisome things, and poor Ruth often burns the mid- night oil. Our prediction is that before 1920 .she will be traveling around contributing her talents to the Students ' Lecture Course, accomjianying herself on the jiiano and one foot.

COIKSI ' ' , Hai p - am I, from care I ' m free. i HE is one of the leaders of all feminine insurrections and is a .steadfa.st foundation around which all the other members of her sex assemble. Her greatest delight is telling the girls how easily the male se.K are cajitivated by her winning ways. In times of trouble, her jovial dis- position comes into common dis] la -. The Profs, in ques- tioning her are usually rewarded by a dimpled smile. She has never been known to let her studies interfere with a good time Ijut always comes out on top. Her noble assist- ance in the phy.sics department during class time showed the .self sacrifice she was willing to make for the scientific betterment of the class. m fj

It was here that Martha made her biggest hit, at least we think .so from the reports given b ' the other members of the party.
