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.”

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

Sara was not with us. hut now we could scarcely do without her and are to be congratulated on having her as a classmate. She Is a very efficient manager of out- girls’ basket boll team, being so business-like and exact in her doings that we think she has promise of being either a filing clerk or a sutfragettc. She is seldom heard from except in an official capacity, but from outside rumors we truly believe that Sara will be tht belle” of Upland despite her suffragett- ish manners. Tinkle Bell. Tinkle Bell,” Tell me all ‘.e-day. Though 1 am a manager I’ll hear wliat you ve to say. A smile for all. a welcome glad A joval coaxing way she had.” Norwood G rammer School We have before us one of the most distinguished artists of the class of '21 Mildred paints and puts her ability to some ad- vantage. The pretty cards that she painted for the girls were much appreciated. She is going to art school when she leaves Chester, and '21 wishes her the be-st of luck. MILDRED COLLINS Mix together a good supply of common sense, and artistical ability, stir in slowly a large quanitlty of kindness, mixed with school spirit—and beat it if you can. 25
