OUR 1919 ANNUAL JANET CAMPBELL GRAHAM Jan” -Jan” entered Chester High School in September. 1915, from Larkin Gram- mar School. Janet was very studious and always worked hard in order to keep her marks above “Par. Still, is it any wonder Jan is bright? Just look at the luminous color of her hair! For several weeks she showed her patriotism by working for the ‘‘Fifth Liberty Loan drive. She liked it. too. We must look into this, and see what it all means. We would never had thought it of her; for Janet, as we knew her, is quiet in every sense of the word, except when it is time to recite lessons, and then she has plenty to say. « ♦ « ELSIE BEATRICE GRANT ••Else” Miss Elsie Grant, the title goes to the worthy one. led herself to Chester High School in 1915 A. D.. after a successful career at Larkin. All her books at High School have been carried back and forth over Seventh street many times, but the remarkable part is it leaked out that these books were opened when they arrived home. Although very bright, her retiected light is not sufficient to study by. and the “midnight oil” is burned. Else has already reached the toll gate and paid her toll of knowledge. Now the rough road to success lies open. This likely young maiden has boosted the W. S. S. society with all enthusiasm, this W. S. S. is War Saving Stamps, not Women’s Suffering Suffrage Society. 21

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(

OUR 1919 ANNUAL HELEN BEGGS HAMILTON Cap September, 1915, found Helen embarking upon a distinguished career in Chester High. She has upheld her reputation in athletic activities, which she established at Larkin Grammar School and is generally recognized as a real sport. She is president of the girls basketball team. Helen is very fond of dancing, and who wouldn’t be if he could match her at this graceful art. Sad to say, many broken hearts have been left unhealed by this popular young lady; but such is life. We advise the poor disheartened ones to take courage and try again. If you hear a merry laugh issuing from the girls locker room, you will know that it is happy Helen. SADIE GERTRUDE HARRIS Sis” Shakespeare deserves praise, Milton also, and so does Sadie. She entered Chester High in 1913. the same year that she left John A. Watts School. Although she looked quite healthy, Sadie was taken ill, and consequently her school work was delayed considerably. But Sadie learned that if you don’t succeed at first, try, try again, and along with her perseverence Sadie also has a disposition that makes any one who meets her like her. And if you don’t believe Sadie’s got a good disposition you just notice her size and tell me what person her size could be grouchy? Then if you’re not satisfied, just ask John about it. 28
