OUR 1919 ANNUAL SARAH BLUMBERG ••Sal Sarah entered C. H. S. in September. 1915, from the Dewey Grammar School. Good-natured, laughing Sarah. All that Sarah does is giggle, giggle, giggle. Sarah has no cares, for she is a man-hater and expects to be an old-maid. However, we notice that Sarah always blushes when addressed by one of the opposite sex. When it comes to lessons, Sarah is right there with the goods. She can always be found in the typewriting room after school, working diligently with the typewriter. Sarah ais») takes an interest in sports; but she does this mainly to keep up her health. Sarah expects to become a nurse, and we send with her our best wishes for her success. MARIAN MARGARET BOOTH “Peggy” A machine, a machine, my kingdom for a machine.” On entering the High School from the Larkin Grammar School in Sep- tember. 1915, Marian immediately began her fame, in her Freshman year, by composing a poem and having it published in the Spectrum. Ever since, she has been steadily climbing the ladder of fame. If you want some fun in the crowd, be sure to have Marian; for she knows no sorrow and is always gay. She says that she never blushes, but jttst ask her if he had a good time on Wednesday evening, and there immediately appears a pretty pink on her cheeks. 18

OUR 1919 ANNUAL EMMA JANE BLACKSTON Em Kmma was graduated from John A. Watts Grammar School and entered Chester High in in 15. As the old saying goes, “Still waters run deep,” and this applies to Emma. She delved so deeply into her lessons that she soon became quite a French student. You may be sure Emma didn’t spend all her time studying; for she believed and still believes, that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” So on Wednesday evenings and Sunday even- ings. Emma grows tired of Chester and its young folks, and these two even- ings usually find Emma sitting on the sofa all “dolled up,” listening to one of Philadelphia’s most capable male musicians. CLARA MATILDA BILLER Billie” Billie entered Chester High School from Folsom Grammar School in September, 11 14. In J! 17 she left High School to attend West Chester Normal School, but returned in September. 11 18. and joined the class of 1919. She has been very much in demand as a teacher during her last year in C. H. S. She is a quiet, studious girl, but still very much interested in everything that goes on in the school. She is especially fond of boys' basketball and seldom misses a game. She is very sociable and jolly, and makes an excellent hostess, as a number of the Seniors have learned. Although she belonged in the 11 18 class. “Billie” made many sincere friends when she came back to school as a 1919” girl. She always has a cheery smile and a pleasant greeting for every one. 17

» OUR 1919 ANNUAL SARA ELIZABETH CULLIS BOWEN Punk” Sara began her High School career in September, 1915. as a pupil from Larkin Grammar School. She possesses much common sense and a bright and cheerful disposition. In her Senior year. Sara figured in the Girls’ Oratorical contest, and it was partly through her business-like efforts that the famous Senior Class Dances” were so successful. She was the author of the 1.919 class song. Why Sara should choose as the object of her affec- tions, one who has such a gloomy profession, we cannot understand. Still ye must not judge a person by his chosen profession, and we feel sure that Sara’s own cheeriness is fully capable of driving away the gloom and shadows of an undertaker’s life. As our .Math teacher would say. “Prove it,’ Sara. JULIA MARGARETTA BRANDT .I ule” Julia entered C. H. S. from Glenolden Grammar School, September, 1915. Julo is the star tease of the Settlor class, although she can be very serious at times. Her time is spent chiefly in studying, laughing and singing, Rip Van Winkle. She thoroughly enjoys making puns and telling jokes. Jule has a habit of arriving at school in the morning at ihe last minute, but not quite late. One morning site fell while running for the train, and succeeded in scratching her face severely, which brought forth many varied remarks, both witty and otherwise. Jule is one of the girls who debated about the evils of movies, and who. the following day, journeyed Market-street-ward with her chum to enjoy the pictures at the Grand, all her sound arguments forgotten entirely. 19
