OUR 1919 ANNUAL MARGARET PALMER JACKSON “Peggy” “Yet there is something in me dangerous” Peg entered Chester High from Rahway Grammar School. New Jersey, in the fall of 1917. Peggy soon became acquainted with her new classmates and surroundings. She was quickly recognized as a talented scholar, and was called upon to take part in many school activities. Peggy just adores a naval band, but it must play her favorite selection. Till We Meet Again She is always impressed by that novel. Peg of My Heart. Rut there is a reason for everything. Peg has proved herself a very quick little worker. She believes in taking advantage of the opportunity when it comes, because it may fail to return. AH' MIRIAM ISOBEL KELLY Chic Miriam entered Chester High with all the other little 1919 Freshies” in September. 1915, from the Larkin Grammar School. She spent many of her spare moments in following up the latest fashions and in dancing. In school, she was generally a good little girl, when she was not laughing; but she was always laughing. She laughed and the world laughed with her just to hear her laugh. Chic, as every one calls her. is a very companionable, little person. If you don’t believe it. just ask one young man, called Stew.” We can recommend no better person than he; for, if the Stew didn’t know the Chic in his own Chic-an’-Stew. no one would. 33

OUR 1919 ANNUAL CARRIE EULA HUTCHINS Don’t over ask Carrie if she wants to study history. From the time she left Larkin School and entered Chester High in 1915, Carrie's one complaint was, “I don't know my history.” and it's strange that she’s almost always exempt. But that is nothing. Carrie's strange, even to her two deep dimples that come and go at random. They were especially noticeable just after the war closed, and she knew that Camp Dix would soon be demobilized, and the war tax would be lifted from “Waltz Dream.” Carrie was heard to remark one time that she could waltz all night long if history could l e omitted from the curriculum the next day. LAURA FLORINE IVES “Ivsy,” “Floss” With her characteristic light and springy tread. Florine. for the first time entered the solemn portals of C. H. S. in 1915 from Franklin Grammar School. Her chief aim in life is to blush every time some one speaks to her. There are many ol Florlne’s classmates who long for just such a splendid complexion a hers. “Floss is the possessor of a sunny smile, that would break the stoniest male heart; Florine is a good sport; we might also add that, during her Junior year, she was very much interested in a Ford ear. or rather the possessor of one. however, that is all over now. We feel sure that some day Florine. with her cheery smile and laughing eyes, will make some fortunate one most happy. 32

OUR 1919 ANNUAL MARY BARBER KUNKEL “Kid Mary is one of the brightest and happiest of those who entered C. n. S. from Larkin Grammar School. September, 1915. Seniors are really supposed to be very sedate and dignified, but Mary giggles and talks so much that one would almost believe her to be a lower classman. She has “a heart for any fate, and laughs even if a history test is the next number on the program. She instills her joyous spirit into the souls of her classmates, who just couldn’t be blue when Mary is near. She is one of our debaters and has made a great success of it. Some one has said that if Mary argued that the world was coming to an end as soon as the 191!» class graduated, she could convince the Freshman class at least that she was right. ABE LACHMAN “Abie” Even though vanquished he could argue still” After organizing our class in 1915. it was found we had “Able with us, from Larkin School. He has been with us ever since, much to our satis- faction. for wherever he is there also is enthusiasm and “pep” stirring. It is useless to argue with him; for he almost always finishes the argument. In the Senior year, he managed the baseball with great success. Abie always had his finger in something, whether it belonged there or not. He is a hard worker for the class activities, and often shouldered the load that belonged to some one more indolent. 34
