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

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

GERTRUDE CARTIN Canonsburg, Pa. Philo Treasurer, Washington Birthday Minuet. In the fall of 1914 Canonsbuig High School sent us this promising addition to our class. She has a genial disposition and the proverbial smile that wont come off She 1S always ready to help her neighbors out of difficulties and can be depended upon to do exactly what she says. Gert can tinkle her fingers over the keys of a piano in a Way that makes her audlence sit up and take notice. Domestic Science had so many terrors and so few attractions for her that she deserted it for the Manual Training Department Furniture building appeals to her much more than bread making. ELIZABETH COWELL Speers, Pa. Elizabeth evidently clings to the old proverb that silence IS golden She very seldom speaks unless necessary but is always pleasant and cheerrul. Her kind ways have won her many friends. She is a true daughter of the soil Since Mr. Wentzel has given out the garden plots Ellzabeth, unlike her moxe frivolous sisters idles away none of her pre- cious study periods but immedlately hastens to se- cule some gazden implements and very energetically cultivates the soil She nevei complains but works silently and no doubt will make a very successful I f f-H'IIIlll'i 'IV' 1' 'lli1I 2IilI l l1 BRICE COLBERT, Dickerson Run, Pa. D'icker Philo President and Oratorg Junior Playg Student Boardg Y. M. C. A.g Deutscher Vereing Boys' Glee Clubg Sewing Circle. Absence makes the heart grow fonolerf' Brice is one of the prominent members of the 1915 class, although he has not spent the entire Senior year with us. But, nevertheless, Philo did not forget his faithful service while present, so they elected him their contest orator. Brice is a graduate of a three-year high and has taught three years. Brice is invariably in a good humor and has never been known to have any disagreement. Al- ways pleasant and agreeable, he goes from Califor- nia with the best wishes of the entire class. 33
