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.

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.

Most assuredly she is a good addition to the cllass. Her favorite pastime is talking to some one, and using big words especially when she is trying to convince you of some- thing. Even if her arguments are not convincing, once she casts those big, brown, deer-like eyes upon you, you are sure to fall a victim It seems that Flopsyl' has one peculiar pastime for which we did not give her credit She permits her hat to be blown off her head into a creek and then she delights in walking along the creek following her hat until it comes near enough to the bank for her to get it. ln order that she need not spend her Sunday afternoons in such a wasting-time manner, we would suggest that she buy a yard of elastic for her hat. Flopsy has won many friends by her willingness to do anything that you might ask of her. CAsIM1zR BAU MAN KRIICCHBAUM Kricket is a good, all-around sport with many friends. He is a quiet fellow and never talks very much unless he knows whathe is talking about. He is an independent, en- ergetic worker and this is why his name appears so often on the honor roll. It seems as if the jinx was sicked upon him in history class for he had not been in class many days until he was sent out. Kass is hard to beat when it comes to football, but for other sports he has no desire, except hiking and Porch- Swing Athletics. If anybody should ask why Bunnie's Chemistry class is late in starting, see Kriechbaum. Kricket is a shark on those French vocabularies but, may- be there's a reason. When the U. S. was at war it was Kass' amibition to enter the army and work for a commission. Should this still be his ambition we hope to see him succeed and we can't see why he could not become a Pershing, a Grant, or a Dewey. ETH121, lylalc DlflARDORFF Ethel, yes, that's her real name, though many call her Deary.l' Her wavy golden hair and rosy cheeks suggest the very name. She believes in a variety of subjects, for only four cannot keep her busy. She would simply admire the study of Latin if she could only understand what Miss Huber means. But we are sorry to hear that her affections are trans- ferred fromi books to something else. VVe wonder what! Is it that Saxon roadster? Not exactly, it's that cute little black-haired laddie who drives it. A little mouse in the cor- ner once heard her remark, I never did like that name 'Deary,' but I don't olbject when you address me thus. Now we do not wonder why Ethel is continually rubbing those bright blue eyes and constantly twisting and turning to keep awake in English class. Ethel intends to be a teacher, but we fear very much that some one else will claim her before her profession.
