Lyon of the Class of 1919 of the Chambersburg High School, do hereby rec- ommend and indorse him to any and all persons who are willing to take a chance: as follows: 1. Vie believe that the said Lyon is harmless and will be easily tamed. 2. That he is an honest, upright, will endeavor to loaf work as will draw the anteed fire and water has taken four years Baby-Grand young chap. 3. That he as much as possible and do as little necessary Kale 4. That he is guar- proof against girls. 5. That while he of science with us yet he equals our other illustrous classmate, the eminent Hamil, when it comes to being able to confuse spark plugs with sour pickles, 6. That he will make a good employee for the borough CBrush-Gangl, but should this fail him he ought to make go0d at manufacturing hard water tlcel. C Fritz will not be- lieve one-half of this stuff and we might add that wc don't eitherl. Esrniziz RAH,xUsicR Ask anyone his opinion of Esther and he will say that she is a jolly good sport. The fact that she lives a small distance from town does not exclude her from good-times, You ought to see her drive a car. She does it with more dex- terity than the miost experienced chauffeur. She will spin you around corners on two wheels in such a way, that you will hold your breath and bless your lucky stars that you are still alive. Esther seems to have taken a fancy to certain junior boys. VVhen her sister has made a date and unfor- tunately is prevented from keeping it, Esther, nothing loath, takes her place. This classmate of ours certainly does help us out in class when we know everything except our les- sons. She will ply the teacher with question after question until the bell relieves us from the torture of reciting. And Esther! if you ever teach school, please don't be as hard Cwith regard to questionsj on your pupils as you now are on your teachers. LJONALD EMICRSON l1liLMAN Don is a quiet, industrious student and has gained for himself the esteem of the class of '19, as well as of a certain shy, bright-eyed, bashful, country lass. He is a good-na- tured fellow, and the only time he has been seen to scowl was at the beginning and end of a forty-minute period of agony, while trying to absorb? a knowledge of the guy named McMaster into his head. He is very fond of his studies f?l, especially Spanish, and devotes a lot of his time to them. He still manages to spend a great deal of his time with the blond described above. He is a very brilliant student and we think he will bc what he wants to be, a dray-man.

He plays center on the basketball team and whenever our class wants to do any- thing he is always ready to boost it. His broad smile greets everybody. He is quite a mechanical genius. Whenever a typewriter gets out of working order, Miss Roof comes around and says, Philip, can you fix this machine P Yep, I can fix it, says Phil in a droll way. He looks the machine over, finds that some small thing has caused the trouble and repairs it. After he has fixed it, he will not tel-1 anybody how he did it and pretends he has torn the whole machine apart. Al- though Bik is a pretty good bluffer, nevertheless he usual- ly knows what he is talking about and quite often gets on the honor roll, and, if he makes as good in future years as he has in high school he will come out alright. IRMA PERRINE Cool. W'here's Coolie? Somewhere near she must be for in the foreground appears Eddie, He searches and searches and finally he spies the object of his attention. Then en- sues a heated discussion. We hear Eddie trying to plead for something Cwe know not whatl and Irma gives vent to her feelings by an Oh Heck, Edgar. Then Eddie be- comes more animated but he will soon become Cool, How could he help it! f'Coolie,' is quiet and unassuming and keeps herself in the background most of the time. She is not frivolous but hap- py and cheerful with her mind on her lessons. It is only those who know her as a close friend, who realize the mfost exceptional hidden qualities in this timid little maid. Normal school is her ambition, there to prepare for teach- ing. XVe greatly doubt if she will teach Cunless it be Eddie b. We, her classmates predict a brilliant career at the trade which she has been studying, namely, a Barbour. At any rate the class of '19 wishes her success. BINGHAM WITMER MATH1As Bing, is a good-natured fellow and seldom seen with a frown on his face. He is the oratorical genius of his class and greatly loves the second period in the morning, at which time he has the privilege of expounding his knowledge of Spanish. He is considered quite a master with the ladies and has an extensive correspondence with them. He is greatly famed for his knowledge of History and surprises the class by his talks on the topics of the day. He is never happier than when kidding some girl or reading books during recitations. He is not adverse to taking a nap in Shorthand Class, but he says he does this to refresh his knowledge. VVe think however he does it to make up for sleep lost the night before. He has frequently expressed the desire to see the world and we suggest that he go to the Grpheum and see The World Be- fore Your Eyes in the Hearst-Pathe News.

You say you don't know this little brown- eyed maid? Well, we don't wonder at all, for Margaret is so very quiet. ln fact she keeps so in the background that even some of her classmates do not know her. But never mind, Margaret, Still waters run deep. XNe don't know what Margaret intends to do when she is graduated from the C. H. S., but we feel certain that '19 shall always be proud to claim her. Gentle Readers, use your imagination for a second. Can't you picture Margaret as the companion of some wealthy old lady, who wants some one to write her letters for her, some- one to go shopping with her, someone to read to her and en- tertain her? Wouldnit such a job just suit Margaret's sweet, quiet, unselhsh disposition? Margaret, in case you should adopt our suggestion for your future, we hope your charge will have as nice a disposition as your own. R. HAROLD HAMSHER Alas, who is this brawny lad? This is Ham from our neighboring city of Woodstock, one with the strength of a giant but the heart of a kitten, thanks for those Sophomore boys in the lunch YOOIU. Often have we looked on with ter- ror in our eyes to see some of them meet their fatal doom when the long expected struggle ended with a little scuffle and a big threat. Last fall we thought iiH2.ll1fy had deserted us. Later we learned that the was about to get command of Camp Colt by his wonderful experience as a soldier at Gettysburg Academy. But fate would not permit and the war closed. He returned to us broken in spirit, but soon regained his alacrity. He likes to tell us how much he gained by being over, but he does not tell the greatest benefit, which is bravery. Now he even dares to talk to the ladies which marks a great stride in his life. DIARY ALCIQSTA lh'llLLl-IR Mary is one of our honor students. She is very quiet and studious and always knows her lessons well. S-he is one of Miss Huber's star Latin students. But we must not get a wrong conception of Mary from her exceedingly studious habits in school, and think that she has no time for amuse- ments, for when Paul comes around in his little Saxon all other things give place. Happily for her, the old car always runs until it reaches her home even if it will go no farther, and then, poor boy! He has to grope his way three long miles through the pitch dark to his ITl2l11l!Tl3.'S house. Mary has never told us what she expects to do when she gets through school, but we are inclined to believe that if some nice young farmer offers her the job of taking care of him- self and his Saxon, she will accept the position.
