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.

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.

STELLA V. BURRIE, Chalk l-lill, Pa. REBECCA l. CALDWELL, Hays, Pa. E1-MER E- CASEBER. Venelia. Pa- Clio Chorister-Middler Play, l..e monde ou' l' on s' ennui, Y. W. C. A, Cabinet. Stella is one of the veterans of the class. When the first of the unknown Freshies arrived, Stella was among them, and she had the pleasure of watching the rest of us surmount the obstacles presented to a new student. When in the course of a recitation, some deep and perplexing question is hurled her way, she never fails to respond but answers with such fluency that one asks How can one so young be so knowing? ln the Senior French Play everyone agreed that Stella was one of the best looking men on the stage. Bet Clio-l.'Alliance Francaise. Bet has at dimple in her chin so you may just guess what is within. That dimple is stationary but the l-low are your people? and owner certainly is not. in walks 'Betf' Beth is a good friend to everyone, and is a normal person who takes things as they come. She is quite indifferent to the men, so we think a part of her heart must have been left at home. Her name suits her. i'Bet is fcald-welll. 25 Alice XVashington's Birthday Celebration, Philo, Deutscher Verein. 'Alices' hair is black, his eyes sky blue, his cheeks rosy rect and his smile-well the snow could not stand the warmth of il, so the seniors lost their sled ride on account of it. Alice likes to talk and especially to the girls. l'lr- is forever telling of his new 'casen but seems lo lose his nerve when an entertainment comes along. Ili- can translate Virgil al sight-if given sulhcienl time ln future years we expect to hear of him as manager ot a model duck farm.
