FRED W. FAUX -Bloomsburg I ' liilo., Philo Draiiici. Class Base Rail, Xormal Co urse. IHTRED is one of the most eiierj etic and enterprising me i I in our class. Bloonisburg is nut large enough for the wonderful ca]iacities of such a worker as Fred is. In the sunnner he usually goes in search of work to .some distant state or cit ' . ' acation being over he again returns to Hloomsburg and school. During the winter he spends his idle moments in the chicken pen. Ves, Fred is some chick- en fancier, there is no question about that. Probably a pr ) -erb of ancient origin will ex]ilain it Ijetter : A chick- en fancier with foa ' l iienmanshiji. WARD E. FISKE -Berwick Philo., Xormal Course. I ARD has great prosjiects of a will lie in him. He is a -ery able-bodied ' oung man. a])t to lie rather hu- morous. If he can get a joke off on vou he will do it and then torment ou about it for a year afterwards. Then, again Ward is some lad -killer. In fact, he says he can ' t take in the basket ball games becau.se he has so many on the string that if he takes one, the rest will be sore, and if he goes alone, the ' will all be sore. Ward has no ver - bad faults. The worst that I know of is going to sleep in Miss Swartz ' cla.ss, which he has out- grown, and skijiping Public Speaking, having for his excuse his mother needed him at home. We are sure he will make a good farmer — teacher. LOIS GEARHART FREAS Jermyn I ' liilo., V. V. C. . .. Xormal Cr urse. 2l T last we have come to one who is truh ' a societ - leader. C She .sets the st ' le of dress and of hair dressing for the school. By some she is considered the Belle of the class. At least she seems to be a sort of magnet for the opposite sex, especially for one — a minister ' s son. It is hard to ])ro])hesy what the end of this will be, as Lois seems to be fitted more for a society leader than for a minister ' s wife, or a Professor ' s wife. It seems to be a my.stery hard to un- fold. It is hard to believe that she comes from such a small ])lace as Jermyn, but it is true. Her frequent visits to Wilkes- Barre may account for her changed maimer. Pos.se.s.sed an air and grace by no means common.. 29

NELLIE J. ENT Dagus Mines Xiiriiial Coursf, I ' liilo. ■JIIH ) said Dagus Mines ? Who ever heard of it ? It can ' t ' - be found on the ma]i nor was it e -er heard of in print, et Nellie insists that it is there. Xell ' s chief form of l)leasiire is standing in the halls singing : Coming thru the K e, and Old Black Joe. Nell is brim full of fun every day in the week, but from all appearances, she seems to en- joy a Sundae l)est. She is ver ' .studious and con.scien- tious. We iiredict that she will make a great critic in the futiu ' c. She cannot be excelled in gxmnastic stunts. J. HAROLD EVES Millville riiilo., ColK-Kc I ' rL-p., ar itv liasL- liall. I ' oot Ball, Basket Ball, Pliilo Draiiia. ClI NE of the largest, wittiest, strongest and most entertain- ing fellows of the class of ' 1 ) is J. Harold. He often wishes that he had never come to Normal, and thinks that time is too precious to be wasted in the vain intrsuit of knowledge. He thinks him.self quite handsome and is a typical ladies ' man. He has even been found holding a girl by one hand and a professor by the other on the cami us. Quite often finds himself asleeji in Lab., and murmuring : What ' s doing here ? He has won great fame as an ath- lete and as a dramatist. After graduating here he expects to study engineering, in which everyone wishes him success. LOIS M. FAIRCHILD-Nanticoke Phil. Xornial Course. l I course, her hair is ])ink and her eyes are blue, but is .she Irish through and through ? I hardly think so. Can anyone imagine demure, quiet, noiseless Lois hiding within herself the noi.sy, fighting s iirit of the Iri.sh woman? Can Mill think of Lois in a heated quarrel with her back (Icior neighbor ? This little cnrly haired lady is usually .so quiet that we think the abo ' e is inqKissible, yet if we could hear all her thoughts we might be frightened to hear her threaten to behead this or that yoiuig model .school hopeful. However, it is usually the quiet, obscure people who do big things and surprise the world, so let us hojie for the best from Lois. We also exiiect to hear of her furthering the cau.se of Bloom with her musical talent. 28

CLARICE GELLINGER-Catawissa Xorinal CovirM.-. ()X ' T -ou think Clarice is (|uite good enouiih to be a C ])arson ' .s wife ? Her few vears of teaching while some one is finishing his conrse in a moral Training School of Theology will serve to etjui]) her the better for her later duties as Mrs. Rever- end. Ve can picture her growing more and more in jia- tience and jierseverence as .she works toward the time when she can quietly an.swer Y-e-s. She is ever at work and the result is she .stands well in her studies. NAOMI GERBER Tamaqua .Xonnal Course, tallu ' , V. W, C. A. She casts a sjiell which haunts us more than we can tell. ' ■XfAOMI has a certain charm which lies hidden in her e -es. C For this reason her man - friends thought she would do well on the stage. She is alwaxs enthusiastic in ' er her work and when .seen, in her business-like manner, walking thru the corri- dor, we know she has some good purpose in vi.;w. Her liking for Latin makes us think she will take U]i Latin as a s]iecialt. -. She never .showed much fondne.ss for the o])i)osite sex in school, but alwa s had her good times with the bunch and ever seemed happy. Therefore, we ha -e no fear of Xaomi ever becoming ver - lonesome, for if no friends are at hand, she will find her pleasure in a book. W HELEN GERRITY -Pittston Normal Cdiitsl-. I ' hiln. LEX is ver studious, and likes text books better than an other kind, especially zoological books. She is rather bashful too, sometimes, but whenever anxthing exciting or interesting happens she is always foiuul near the scene. Studx seems to be an unimportant detail in Helen ' s scheme of existence. She delights to loiter in the halls with her fellow .stu- dents and throw water on ] oor. nn)dest maidens. Helen worshi] s at the altar of ambition. She is con- tinually bus - and we are sure she will accomplish much. She is esi)eciall ' averse to the ojipo.site sex and is de- termined to always remain Helen Marie Gerrity. A modest, sensible, and well-bred man Will not affect me, and no other can.
