No matter C what difficulties arise, she, in her mild and gentle way is able to overcome them and make the best of affairs. She is an active Y. W. C.

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. Martha seems esjiecially fond of ])ublic speaking and the days on wdiich the class a.ssembled for this jiurpose she could always be .seen with a bright and cheerful countenance.

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

Father Brace wanted all his girls to .stay at home, but vSally, packing her little telescojie, and donning her plaid coat suit ana velvet hat sallied forth into the world to become a teacher of her fellowmen and to hel]i uplift the universe.
