OUR 1921 ANNUAL CLARA KERR BOWEN Of all the arts, great music is the one to raise the soul above all earthly storms.” “Clare” Swart hmore High School Behold the most renowned violinist of Chester High. It has been said that sooner or later, all noted people come to C. H. S. and Clare proves it. Of course, she wouldn’t stay n Swarthmorc when Chester was on the map. Clare is one of the best students in the class of '21. She is on. of the most brilliant of the “Dauntless Dozen” in Virgil. Clare is one of our fortunate members who has nothing to do. Of course, she de- f bates, plays, gives oratorical performances, studies, but that isn’t work. Clare has held numerous executive positions, among which are vice-president of her class during the Junior year, president f Glee, president of Social Service, and oh well, never mind. Clare intends to enter the musical world after her graduation. Here’s to her success. When it came to writing Clara up. It took so big a sheet; We had to cut it down to this. Mere’s Clare, she can’t be beat. FLORENCE ROSABELLE BURKE A Jolly good sport, not soon to be forgotten.” Franklin Gra nimar School Rosabelle is one of the greatest actresses Chester High School has ever produced. She took the part of Mrs. Kspen- hevne in Where But in America?” In this play our friend would have made a model wife, if she could have fried eggs. We have no doubt that when the proper time comes, she will correct this fault and will not starve her husband. Rosoabelle F.urke In C. H. S. I, a character of renown. But will ou t 11 me why she likes To go ti Germantown? 23

OUR 1921 ANNUAL Mildred irene bonawitz albert ross Joseph boudart “They who labor long: shall rest.” “The spirit of time will teach me speed. Larkin Grammar Schoi»l We have in the class of '21 a piri who can do almost any- thing and do it well. Many times in chapel she has held her audience spell-bound by her wonderful technique on the piano. Our friend not only plays the piano, but she also plays the violin. If her talents ended here, we would consider we had a genius in ou- midst, but gentle reader, she is also an artist. I am sure you will agree with us that Mildred is no common personage. Mildred played the piano well. She played the violin too, She did so many, many things; Like her, there are but few. Boudart is a quiet sort of person with a droll smile always on his demure countenance. Seldom heard except when asked to speak, he can always be found minding his own affairs and not those of someone else. His one great trouble is the mastery of the French tongue, but here he is not alone; other members of 21 have been known to fail when inflicting themselves with it. His aversion to speaking was proved in his refusal to be a speaker for our school loan. Nevertheless Albert has been ob- served to walk home (or at least away from school) regularly with a certain young lady. Who she is we do not know. Don’t allow her to distract you from your future ambitions. Albert. Not an orator as some; Not an athlete strong; But this quiet little maid May lead Albert wrong. 22

MARGARET HOWARTH BURN So tall, so stately and so fair’ OUR 1921 ANNUAL THOMAS BUTTERWORTH Good goods come in small packages.' Peggy Parkin Grammar School Peg is r no of the star members of the Girl's Debating Team. She is an invincible orator and her good work has won us several debates In our Junior year when our class rings first came. Peg was the only member of '21 who didn’t sport one, and our wonder grew when we saw that she did have a C. H. S.” ring, whose design none of us had ever seen before. Th' answer being very simple; though “Chester in name and thought. hi town was not Chester, Pa. Peg is one of our commercial girls and from all accounts should make one of our big Chester business men a fine secretary unless she has decided to desert Chester, Pa., for somewhere in Mary- land. A fair haired maiden is this lass. And yes an honor to the class. Although the often thinks of men We’ll surely think of her again. Franklin ' Grammar School ■Tommie” Four short years ago a tiny, mischievous lad made his debut at C. H. S. Tommie is mill tiny—and mischievous. P.ut with all his diminutiveness he possesses enough energy for a person twice his size. As a scholar. Tommie stands way up 'mongst the leaders, but he is the leader when it comes to “orneriness.” The reason is clear. He is so chock- full of energy that learning his lessons do not extract it all. so the rest of it he expends in jokes (practical, very.) Hut when there's wotk to do. Tom never shirks and shows that he can work as hard as the biggest. Tommy's future is not doubtful, for it lias been predicted that Thomas Jefferson shall have a worthy rival in him. T stands for Thomas, so small and so bold; He'll still be the same, when he’s bowed down and old.”
