'Here is portrayed a rare and radiant young lady wholn we think of as a dreamer. who de- lights in studying: fire castles. Jean is an anxious seeker of new things, new adventures -the latter. we believe, she received in Junior High. We have been thrilled on numerous oc- casions by her stately air and manners. and solnehow she is a 1'eal variation to our small group. tThe deep blue of her eyes reflects sparks of firel everywhere. and we are daunted in seeking to understand her further. Her fu- ture is uncertain. Surely she has developed a love for Junior High work. but. perhaps, she can match this with another love. Match our good wishes, too. LOTTIE ACKLEY Wind Ridge, Pa.

Isabelle has a fund of enthusi- asm and resourcefulness-something: which ele- vates her as a first-grade teacher. We term her a regular little sport. and if fate will have it so. we wish her optimistic nature shall be contagious. ICSTIIICII ATKINSON Canonsburg, l'a. l'Isther I'hilo1 Y. XV. C. A.g C. A.

A. f'l'irfue is like a rich stating- Iiest, plain scifi This lassie joined us at the beginning of the second semester of this year and immediately began handing us a few thrills. The interest she displays in everything is deserving: of much credit. She always performs in the class room in a manner that reflects honor upon herself. We are glad to have her in our class, since she helps balance it, with no extreme of either fun or seriousness. She came here from Indiana to seek a higher place of learning, and she cer- tainly is making use of her opportunity. Mar- garet has chosen to teach school because her love for children possesses the largest area of her heart. With such a quality combined with her strong character she certainly will shine.

I The greaterpart of the first week after our arrival was spent in the Book Room indulging in the novel past time of investing some of Dad's hard earned money in books, which at first some of us thought were for the purpose of decorating our book shelves, or decreasing the storage space in our lockers rather than increasing the knowledge in our empty heads. But the novelty soon wore off with our introduction to Art, Music, Psychology, Introduction to Teaching and other subjects which brought us down to earth and made us realize that we had a definite goal. 'U V One of the really notable occasions, emphasizing our importance here was the annual Faculty Reception. We certainly appreciated the untiring efforts of sympathetic teachers who nearly caused us to forget such a little thing nas- talgia. Among the activities enjoyed by our class the first year were the Kid Party, Hallowe'en Party,.Christmas Party, the Junior Prom, the Circus and inaiiv h ot ers. As our 'eventful Junior year drew to a close we had the pleasure of participating in the Field Demonstration and, that-never to be forgotten- Pageant. It was in September IQ23 that we returned to school to fill the places left vacant by those dignified Seniors who had graduated the preceding June.

In raflfiant lives for 1izftle.9'amZ tmilesf' From Point Marion came Mrs. Ruth Tarr Baker, a teacher, blue eyed, fair, fat and not forty. During her teaching career in Point Marion she developed a love for intellectual pu1'suits, and allied herself with the greatest of all schools-the school of self-effort. To become more efhcient in her work, she came to C. N. S., where she identified herself with all the school activities for the social and educa- tional progress of the time. In spite of the many demands from the faculty, she was al- ways mindful of her lonely and devoted hus- band, and each week found her hieing away to Point Marion, where she delighted him with tales of the lore and gayety of California school life. Upon Ruth's return to the Nor- mal School, after a visit to her home, her friends slyly crept to her room where, behind barred doors, with muflied voices, they defied the hall teacher, and she treated her guests to rich and dainty foods.

This lass possesses many charming charac- teristics which win for her a host of friends wherever she may go. Her cheerful disposition dispels all gloom, while her careful. consci- entious application to every lesson assignment proves her to be the type of a student and a teacher whose progress and achievements will be far reaclting in the years to come. Theresa took great pleasure in traveling to C. N. by auto. May the fond memories of her school days and the friendships she formed ever at- tend her through life. J. M. BUMGARDNER South l-'ork. l'a.
