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

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 REBA GINNS “Roba.” “Ginnsey” Reba entered C. II. S. in the fall of 1915 from the Larkin Grammar School, thru the door, with a heavy stop and a winning: smile. YVe may say that Reba is a girl whose duties are few and pleasures many. She has shown us her speaking ability by appearing on the main platform several times, during her school career. We also know that Reba is an excellent debater: for. during her Junior year, she was captain or' the Girls' Debating Team, in the English class, which defeated the boys’ tcnm. She also took part in the various sports, such as hikes, gymnastic exercises and dancing. We feel sure that Reba will some day be able, by her hypnotic speech, to get the “one” she desires. DORA GOODMAN I)o-ri Dora began her studious High School career in September, 1915. To say that Dora was studious and that was all, would not be putting it correctly. To be sure she always made herself prominent in classes by her brilliant recitations and often times her poor less fortunate classmates were made to appear very dull in comparison, but this is merely due to her own natural ability as a student and is no fault of Dora’s. In Virgil she is as bright as the star. Orion, is itself. Dora is a good sport and is always willing to aid her unfortunate classmates, who fail to have their lesson prepared at the proper time. If her whole life is as successful as her school career, we need have no fear of Dora's success in life. 2(
