She has her own ojiinion on all subjects, and sticks to it. If there is one i)rofes.sion at which we think she would be more succe.ssful than another, it is that of the law. Without a doubt, she would win every case.

Joe greatl - admires Vergil ' s Aeneid, as he .says. He has read it three times and even sleeps with it under his pillow.

MARY BROWER-Herndon Norinal Course, Callii ' V. W. C. A., Class Kssay, Prize Rssaj- Majjee Contest. B. vS. N. vS. she would been successful but we hope it ina ' be soon. IJARV Brewer has led an active and useful life while in this school. Her influence has been felt b - nianv. Heing President of Y. W. C. A. for three years, she has successfull ' carried out all its different ])hases of work. vShe has made nian - friends while here, both among the student body and the faculty. Whenever you meet Mary, she has a smile and cheery word for yon. The greater bulk of Mary ' s mail for the past three months consisted of catalogues from various Women ' s colle- ges. She intends to spend her last single days in one of these institutions. In view of the fact that such was to be her doom Mary resolved for the remainder of her career at )end 30 minutes daily on the Campus. As yet her plan has not BEATRICE B. BURKE -Scranton Normal Course, V. W. C. I ' hilr TjSEATRICE Burke, alias Bill , our fair representati ' e j of the Electric City, blew into B. S. X. S. on a fair memorable da ' in 1913. Bill ' is one of the best athletes in tennis at B. vS. N. S. She not onh ' likes it but .she ex- cels in that s]iort. e lielieve that is due to the fact that she has had such splendid ])ractice on the Na ' Aug Court at Scranton. Practice with such a congenial partner has made her an adei)t in the art. Through the loving devo- tion of the aforesaid partner, she has become an exjiert in holding down the tonneau of a touring car, ( no, not a Ford ) as it glides through the streets of vScranton. It may be that you can judge a woman by what she reads. How oft have we found Billie peru.sing — The World ' s Work ? No ; The Technical World ? No ; The Peini State Froth ? Yes.

ETTA BUSS Pittston I ' liilo., Xornial Course, Y. W. C. A. K FINE Student and a better friend. We think this is due to her training at Pittston High School. ( )ne fault we have to find with her is that she hkes to ■ ' gu jjeople. Now don ' t ou, Ktta ? She is a loyal V. W C. A. worker, as was shown in her volunteering as a delegate to the Lancaster convention. Altho illness called Etta from .school. Spring Term, ' 14, she returned in the Fall and went on with her cla.ss. She believer in the adage, an old maid is the highest jiroduct of civilization, and we can i)icture her, twenty ears hence, head of .science in some Woman ' s College. WILLIAM J. CPESS-GirardviUe doc guy Scrub Basket Ball, anil Base Ball, Class Base Ball, Philo., College Prep. tt ' inOC a re.sident of that beautiful town of Girardville (?) is one of our medical .students here, whose vocabu- lar - of medical terms is unbounded. He joined our class in the fall of 19 13, and has been a faithful athletic worker. He rose into ])rominence this year by his hard work tr ing to win a ])lace on ' arsity ba.sket ball. For one who had never ]ilayed the game before, he gave an excellent show- ing and was only beaten b - the exi)erience of last year ' s men. But his athletic iirominence was overshadowed b ' a love affair which began after he secured a s])ecial teacher in Algebra. He can be found on the Campus at an - time, this vear, but last ear ou could not find him with a comjiound Department. In the future we .see Doc as a prominent surgeon, wi or Wilkes-Barre. microscope fmm the Biology th an office in his home town SADIE M. CRUMB-BIoomsburg Callie, Xornial Course. ]j(iliRE is a living question mark, always inquiring the t wh ' and the wherefore of things. Don ' t you think .she looks like a .Seer ? Perhaps she is,- we cannot say She is always coming late to cla.s.ses and when once seated keeps up a general fire of questi ons, .stumiiing the profes.sor. Here is a riddle for you : Why is Sadie ' s tongue like a dog ' s tail ? Sadie, however, does get a big idea once in a while and astonishes her .school mates in so doing. We ad- vise her to become a Researcher and busy herself in the knowledge of the world and there find the answers to her insatiable curiosity She has wonderful e.Kecuti e abilitx and exercises it in e er thing she undertakes. 24
