KATHRYN M. BOYD, lVlcKees Rocks, Pa. CATHERINE BRIGHTWELL, Monessen, Pa. MAR-1-HA 5, BRQWN' Scenery Hill, Pa, 'ARena Clio Chorister-lVliddler Playg Deutscher Vereing Normal Reviewg Calnorsean Editorial Board. Rena received her previous knowledge in Cora- opolis High School. She is not very big but she makes her presence felt when she is around. Her main object in life is wailing for the mail and holding up one of the pillars in the main hall. 'Renah is very fond of aithletics, particularly basket ball and tennis. Sthe is one of the best in her classes but usually manages to save a few minutes of her time each evening for the Big Ben of South Hall who looksldown upon het' with such loving glances. Class Treasurer-Clio-Hockey '13, l-lere we have a bright, shrewd mind concealed be- neath a misleading exterior made up of rosy cheeks and a cheery smile. Catherine is there when it comes to work and studies as is shown by her name, but she is greatly handicapped by her backward in- clination. She came from Monessen High with honors and will no doubt prove herself worthy ofimore honors upon graduation from C. N. S. 23 .tMat.. Clio Chorister-Deutscher Verein. We are sure 'lVlat will make an excellent teacher for one day she became so interested in her teaching in the model school that she forgot to go to class. She is very cheerful and sympathetic and cures the' ills of all her friends. Mat is a hard working, friendly girl who combines good fellowship with study. She is the nightingale of third floor Dixon. but has a great dis- like for barnyard choruses.

MYRTLE 'lVl. BIG!-ZLOW, Jeannette, Pa. ..Kiny., Philo--Deutscher Verein. Kitty is one of the best naturedggirls in the class. She is so afraid of burglars that every night she looks She can swing Indian clubs as high under the bed. as the transom and her best practice always occurs at lI:00 P. M. Kitty's greatest accomplishment is her execution of the War Dance. Her greatest ambition is to get married. We expect to see her a fine teacher for many years. DELLA R. BITNER, Latrobe, Pa. Philo. To have seen her wandering around our halls, as one walking in a dream, looking yet seeing not, listening yet hearing not, you would have said, Alas, she is one of Cupid's victims, and you would have been correct in your surmise. But one period in the day did she awake from her reverie and that was when the noon mail was being passed. Then behold the transform- ation! l In classes she still kept her drea-my attitude, yet somehow she always contrived to absorb all that was said. 22 Ross M. BONNER, Braddock, Pa. Roses Philo-Deutscher Verein. l-lark! What is coming? Don't be scared. lt's only Roses, President of the nnoisy bunch of second floor, Dixon. Perhaps you thought it was General Braddock and all his army. Roses can tell you all about The Defeat. Just aslc her. No one out of water can move along like Roses First appear her feet and then-the rest of her. She knows all the popular airs and her melodious voice actually fills the corridor. But, when anything goes wrong, no one has a kinder heart than Roses,

RUTH O. BROWN, Scenery Hill, Pa. Brownie Clio Chorister-Deutscher Verein. It is very difficult to make friends with 'Brownien but it is worth the trouble. She believes that to keep silent is the best rule. Brownie thinks that men are nothing more than door mats and should be used as such. She is one of the most reserved and quiet stu- dents in C. N. S. and was never known to uflunkf' We all love this gentle little maid and Wish her much success in her chosen work. 1 , - ,sg - ' ' - 1. . mf - --wwf ' .1 V t 4 ,, f: ':c,.

She is not very large, but requires much space, especiallyxwhen speak- ing. She talks very deliberately and slowly She has a genial disposition and is very sociable after one becomes acquainted with her. Elsie always studies hard and apparently enjoys all her subjects except Vocal Training which is seemingly utoo dense for her. But do not worry, there may be some hope left for there will be another exam. 24 FEMIA M. BURR11-2, Chalk Hill, Pa. Clio Chorister-Middler Play. l..e mondeou' l' on s' gennui, Y. W. C, A. Cabinet. With the class of 1913 of the South Western State Normal School will graduate one of the greatest violin- ists of history. As she draws the bow across the strings of her Stradivarus, her audience becomes spell bound with ecstasy. Not only is her audience charmed by the skillful use of her bow, but her beau is likewise enraptured with her music. She has a great aversion to alcohol. The presence of a- bottle of wood alcohol, left in the music room caused her to forsake even her beloved practice.
