li llllll lll lll -l' Q li' irleilxllll MARIE BARKER, Fayette City, Pa. 'fB0wlcer Clio, Deutscher Verein, L'Alliance Francaise. Barker is one of our quiet but energetic school mates. As you look down the halls, you can see her coming with her arms laden with books. 'Ma- rie's favorite conversation is about drug stores and their employees, especially Jim. Her favorite flower is the Sweet William. About mail time you can hear Barker in the hall saying, Has the mail been passed ? We wonder why? When it comes to knowing a great many people, Marie out-shines all others, for when any name of a person along the Monongahela Valley is mentioned, she immediately says, Why, I know him, and then goes on to de- scribe him for you. n MARGARET BRUCE, Allenport, Pa. Clio 5 Deutscher Verein. W Margaret attended Charleroi High a short while, then took teachers' examinations, taught a year and came to California. She is very bright and a hard worker. Margaret is a thorough student and in her search for knowledge has even been known to jump on a chair in order to better see the specimen the teacher was discussing. Margaret is a south- paw but it didn't hinder her from drawing life-like cows and cross cats for first grade phonic lessons, t'Modest and simple and sweet, the very type of Priscilla. VIOLET BURKE, Donora, Pa. Bu'rlcey Philo, Editorial Board, Deutscher Verein. Patient and quiet And always at work, He1'e's to our classmate, Violet Burke. Burkey is one who is seldom heard, but when she talks, it is generally on a deep subject. She loves to read, perhaps this is a clue to her deep subjects and brilliancy. Although she is quiet and unobtrusive, her sweet manner and unfailing po- liteness have won for her many friends. We do not know what the Fates will unravel for this little maid, but we feel sure whatever it is, they will give to her the better part, that of always being sur- rounded by a host of loving friends. 31

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

v fl' rw Illlllll Hi ' 'lilZI IIlll 1l BESSIE BUTTERWORTH, Donora, Pa. Philog Deutscher Verein. And still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all she knew. Bessie is a veritable Who's Who in California State Normal School. If new studes are men- tioned, she can place them exactly, even to the date of entrance. Although Bessie is so interested in current affairs,,she is a very serious sort of a per- son and a hard Worker. Teaching rote songs is Bessie's favorite pastime. She is English, but as yet has not shown any strong enthusiasm for the suffrage movement, in the near future however, she may become as famous a Worker for the cause as her fellow countrywoman, Mrs. Bankhurst, HAZEL CAIN, Houston, Pa. Clio, Deutscher Vereing Y. W. C. A. Here you behold one of the dwellers of Paradise Alley. She is a member of the third Hoor Dixon orchestra and has become quite proficient in her performances on the horn. Her room is a popular visiting place for both students and teachers, al- though their respective missions are entirely dif- ferent. She is a good student and likes hard work. There is one exception to this, however, and that is German. Just why on earth one must spend valuable time puzzling over the fortunes and mis- fortunes of Wilhelm Tell, she fails to see. We predict that she will become a successful teacher and win credit in her chosen vocation. ELLA CARNAHAN, McKeesport, Pa. Kfcaynyil Clio Treasurer, Y. W. C. A., Deutscher Verein. Carny is pretty and petite She insisted that the photographer do better work for her and this quiet little mouse gave him such a shock that he felt that a cartoon would not do this time. Though Carny is a very small person, she carries a very heavy program and therefore this year she Joined the ranks of the industrious. One thing in which she is especially proticient is in closing of doors. But why shouldn't she be? She has had special lessons in this direction. Carny is one of the dreamers of our class. Often when her blue eyes wear that far-away expression, we would like to say to her, A penny for your thoughts, little maint but we feel that that would be asking too muc . 32
