OUR 1919 ANNUAL MARGARET HEBDEN “Peg” Peg entered C. H. S. in 1915 from the Norwood Grammar School. Peg’s .-:iOst illustrious activities have been along the line of girls’ athletics. She has made a very capable and interested manager of the girls' basketball team for the years 1918-19. And now for a secret! Although she was very loyal to the team of which she was manager. Peg was almost as much interested in boys’ basketball and was a regular attendant at the games. Nor did this active girl limit herself to athletics. She was elected president of the Social Service Society in her Senior year and performed her duties in this capacity with great success. Margaret is an ardent follower of terpsichorc and belongs to a group of our classmates, which has often delighted us with rhythmical I erformances. A jolly good sport is Peg and thoroughly dependable, and these qualities will doubtless secure her success in the future. •JM EVA ELIZABETH HOFFECKER Hoffy, Eve Eva entered Chester High School from Windsor Grammar School in the fall of 1915. Like other frightened Presides, she was always very shy. In :spite of this her high school career was very successful. “Eve” always knows her lessons and is ever ready to help her classmates in their difficulties. Every one has noticed Eve's” rosy complexion with curiosity, but only her most confidential friends know the reason. If one could see her in the study hall, when her worldly companions are discussing their experiences, his curiosity would be satisfied as to what kind of cosmetics Eve” uses. 29

OUR 1919 ANNUAL EMILE HULTON HUBER “Emily” Emile found his way to Chester High School from Larkin Grammar School in 1915. As we may easily tell from his appearance, Huber is vitally interested in athletics and has the honor of being president of the Boys’ A. A. He is a football and basketball player and captain of the track team. Emile has another accomplishment, for which he has become illustrious. This is the powerful “gift of gab. When you hear that stern voice that is owned by one mortal alone, you may turn to behold “His Highness Huber. King of Potter Street. Emile holds the record for making more noise in a specified time than any other Chester High student. For information on this subject apply to his Science teacher. LILLIAN McCLURE hueston Lillian Lillian entered from the quiet of Brook Haven through the medium of Larkin School, and came to our glorious C. H. S. in the year of our Lord. 1915. Our editor says she is a girl after his own heart, and he is an authority. Quiet she is and quiet she will be. But I like quiet girls. «ays he. (He had the wrong one in mind.) Lillian is strong in her school work, but w'eak on the noise. We have the profoundest respect for Lillian. A talented girl such as she who shows it in her studies, but refrains from making her voice re-echo thru the halls, has a right to be admired. 31
