OUR 1919 ANNUAL PERCY HOWARD DUCKWORTH Perc Some time in 11)17, a wind, a Rood one. blew down east and after hovering around Springfield. Mass., it blew Perc in to our class. Spring- field School lost a good scholar; we gained one. Percy is a reticent fellow, good in mathematics and physics. Perc.” whose long legs go well for track, has a long smile, which goes well on his face. He makes a hustling adver- tising manager, and that smile and down east twang has won many ads for our Annual. Does “Perc” like the girls? Well, take a squint at the above likeness and “Awsk him. BELLA FRIEDA EISNER Belle” Belle entered II. S. in the fall of 191 from the Larkin Grammar School. Books were Bella’s chief friends and pastime, for no matter where she was seen, her books were seen with her. She never minds staying after school for work, or at least she often does stay to do it; so we judge she must like it. Bella has time for other things besides lessons, though. She is often seen at the movies, ice cream store, or out strolling. Bella is quiet, really; she is seldom heard, but then we must remember that silence is golden. Bella has proved the value of silence, and we wish her good luck in whatever she may undertake. 24

OUR 1919 ANNUAL HOWARD LANGWORTHY DAVIS, JR. Chick It was in September. 1916. that we complained of mosquitoes, and upon investigation found that Chick Davis had blown in fresh from Pemberton High School. X. J„ with a troop of trained mosquitoes. When he became editor of the Spectrum and the Annual, those working under him found that he could train anything. The editor with a long name and a Jr., which he insists on putting after it. is some hustler and has hustled the Spectrum and the Annual to greater success than ever before. Most of us remember him from a piece he recited at the Junior recital, in which he was supposed to act crazy. lie acted natural and the part was taken so well we fail to predict whether Chick will be editor or actor. JENNIE DE PRISCO Jen” In September, 1915, Jennie began her High School career, a pupil from the Dewey Grammar School. She is known chiefly in the athletic activities of the school. In her Freshman year, she Joined the gym. class. The next year found her enjoying long hikes with other members of the girls' A. A. Finally she became a member of tin' Girls’ basketball team, and she was active in all the games and instrumental in winning the victories of the team. Jennie is always ready for sports of any kind. Judging from the many books she carries and from the hour she comes to school in the morning. Jennie is as fond of lessons as she is of athletic work. 23

JAMES JOSEPH LEE FARMER “Chinck.” “Cootie,” “Irish Statesman.” “Chinck” entered in 1914 from the Dewey Grammar School. He is one of the bright lights of the Senior Class and one of the jolliest little hoys of two hundred pounds ever known. He is a witty fellow and always has some new joke to tell. As a member of the football squad he caused many an opposing guard a bump, due to the careless use of his diminutive body. He gained the name of “Irish Statesman” through his oratorical powers as Cap- tain of the Boys’ Debating Team. Cootie” had a hard time keeping what religion he has. when any team representing Chester High School was defeated, but he made it all up in his reports of Athletics to the Spectrum. ARNOLD SAMUEL FRANK Frank Frank entered C. H. S. in the fall of 1915 from the I arkin Grammar School, like many other Freshmen, going to four years of work. What can be said of Arnold cannot be said of very many students in regard to mathe- matics. He could have physics for breakfast, dinner and supper, and yet never tire of it. As an athlete, Arnold does not shine, but when it comes to algebra or geometry he is on the spot. Arnold has nothing to be afraid of, but comes out for track to run. run for anything, not to run for fun. He is as industrious as the day is long, and we feel sure that in whatever course Arnold may enter in the future he will be successful, especially if he goes in for engineering. We feel, too, that if he does this, many schools and jails will be built by him to imprison people. 25
