IX ll llllllll lill llll V' U 'tl X! Buss RICHEY, Charleroi, Pa. Slocums Philo Secretary, Senior Class Vice Presidentg Deutscher Verein. Bess is one of our good natured girls who takes plenty of time for everything. Hence ner nlcx-name, Slocums. But Bess, even though a little late, we are always glad to see you come. Slocums has one great fear, namely that of becoming Vstout built. As a preventative she takes long strolls over the hills on Sunday afternoons. She is inter- ested in Zoology and takes special delight in f11S- cussing Lyons, We anticipate that she will, in the future, be an accomplished trainer. Bess has a very cheerful and optimistic nature. but the one worry of her life is French. Her favorite expres- sion is, Honest to John, I don't have a word of French today. IRENE BUTTERMORE, Uniontown, Pa. IKIkey77 Clio Essayist, Salutatoriam and Secretary. , Deutscher Vereing Y. W. C. A., Class Secretary. Here is Irene, or to her more intimate friends, Ikey. She is one of our very efficient girls. Her chief talent, however, seems to be along the line of speaking, both public and private. She was also one of the brilliant History of Education students 5 having taught before, she often surprised some of the less sophisticated students of the class by her arguments about the teaching of children. Not- withstanding all this, Irene loves her home. Scarcely a week passes that she does not hasten home for Saturday and Sunday. ELIZABETH GRAHAM, Wilkinsburg, Pa. Pedro Philo, L'Alliance Francaise, Junior Play, Class Treasurerg Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Somewhere we heard a. rumor that this young lady was christened Elizabeth. Such may .have been the case, but as Pedro we know her far better. She came to C. N. S. in the fall of 1914, and we sometimes wonder how we existed before without her. She is one of those unusual people who talks a great deal, yet always says something worth while. She is also a good student and considers it her duty to investigate the why and the wherefore of every- thing from natural phenomena to French verbs, sometimes to the embarrassment of the teacher on duty. Pedro is one of those cheerful philosophers who never sees the dark side of life. If she ever does, she will speedily brighten it up. 29

Massah, George Class President 3 Philo Presidentg Varsity Footballg Speaker at Football Banguetg Brass Bandg George Washington in Minuetg Junior Class Playg Deutscher Vereing President of Y. M. C. A. As President of our class we have had one of the most loyal members, Harry Werner, who has worked very hard at all times to please each member of his class. Harry is a product of a Somerset County farm and can tell you most anything you want to know along agricultural lines. Harry likes to talk and especially to the girls. He once told one of our boys that he was going to case during the spring term, but he seems to have lost his nerve for we have not heard of his appearance yet. Maybe it is because some of the other fellows will not give him the chance. In 1913 Harry was a substitute on the football squad. but in 1914 he was one of the most trustworthy players and helped many times to bring victory back to California. - 28

V' 1' 'fi' iw IlIIIll 5IIi l 'll llilI 1llII l l Xf BLANCHE ANDERSON, Charleroi, Pa. Blondie - Philo Vice Presidentg Class Donorg Girls' Glee Clubg Deutscher Verein. Every lassie has a laddie, So they say, has I. Then if ct body kiss at body, Need a body cry? 4 Did you ever hear Blanche sing this? If not, just listen and you can hear her melodious voice lioating out of 47 Dixon any hour of the d-ay. Blanche is very fond of having her own way and, usually gets it, but who could resist when they hear her say, Come on, hon. We think our little Blondie is a good cake baker, and if you do not believe it, there are many people who will assure you that they are always well Dunn She assures us that she is going to teach many years, but it is very hard for us to believe her. HELEN BALSINGER, Elizabeth, Pa. BaZsinger Philo. . If you hear someone tramping down the hall singing I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier, don't be frightened-it's only Balsinger hurrying to one of her beloved f?J classes. When in doubt consult Helen. She always has a very decided opin- ion of just how the matter should be settled. If it's the latest dance step, a new dress or how to make some favorite goodie, she'll be sure to know. Helen likes music, not only vocal but instrumental. Her specialty, however, is playing wedding marches. Energetic, fond of fun and always ready for a lark, she has many friends, who wish her deserved success in her work. ' MARGARET BARCLAY, Elizabeth, Pa. 11Maggie7! Clio, Y. W. C. A.g Deutscher Vereing L'Alli- ance Francaise, Secretary of Junior Class. Her eyes are stars of twilight fair, Like twilights too her dusky hair. One glance at Maggie would convince one that she is a firm believer in the merits of anti-fat, for she is a living example, but nevertheless Maggie we are sure you will make your way in the world, because you will always stick up for your rights. She is a strong Clio and is always ready to argue with those who differ from her in their opinion about Clio. After one of these arguments, one may hereher exclaim, Oh! well, kids, I was so peeved. Margaret is a good student and is becoming an ex- pert in Domestic Science, she is also very fond of French and we expect to hear of her teaching the subject in some university in the near future. 30
