» 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

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 CURTIS VEASEY BURKE Vamp Turkey” “Vamp” is a delegate to. Chester High from away out In the country. He entered Chester High in 1915 from Trainer Grammar School. Burke is a brilliant fellow. He is of the famous “strawberry blond” type; in fact, he is quite light-headed. We believe that Curtis is going to grow up before he is twenty-one, in spite of the fact that he is still a little childish. Vamp” is active as a track and basketball participant. During school hours at least he is exceedingly fond of arguing. If you ever find Curtis voluntarily seeking the company of the young ladies, please notify the editors and receive reward. HANNAH FRANCES CASSELL “Nan” “You may have your fox-trot or waltz, but it’s always a one-step for mine. Hannah entered the High School from the Franklin Grammar School in September, 1915. Every one knows Hannah’s ability, especially in teaching school and reading French. Hannah is very modest and does not tell her affairs to every one, but somehow we have heard a little about a young gentle- man, and we wonder who he is. He is a wonderful dancer. What is the reason that Hannah should prefer the one-step to all the other dances? We think that we know why she has this preference, but we may be wrong. We wish you good luck. Hannah, in all your future work, and we remind you now, that should you ever become a teacher, you should try not to forget these days when you were a student. 20
