OUR 1921 ANNUAL SARA JANE CLARK FLORENCE MILDRED COLLINS The word dignity, personified” Franklin Grammar School Sara is a willmg.'y accepted addition to our class. When we entered C. II. S. 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

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 MILDRED MORTON CONN I’ll speak in a monstrous little voice’ “Milly” Conny” Larkin Grammar School CATHERINE MAY CONRAD Thou art pale in mighty studies grown Larkin Grammar School ■Kitty Conny is one of the silent brigade. You wouldn’t think to see her in school that she could talk, but at home, or out with her crowd, she’s as noisy as the next one. She is fond of dancing and especially of football games; she never misses one. We’re trying hard to find out why, but Mil is more silent than ever on that subpect, if such a thing could be. Conny is a good cook and the man that gets her certainly will be in luck. For he’ll be getting not only a good cook, but what is even more rare, a silent woman! A suffragette she’ll surely be. Of that we have no doubt; For when she'» bustling down the hall, All others, please look out. Behold! the door opens and in steps an alert 11.tie lady. She is Catherine Conrad, our star girl debater; a fellow has no chance with Catherine as his opponent, for she has such an exceptional ability for argumentation. Not only as a debater does she excel, but also as a student. We congratulate her upon her success in winning the MacDade Scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. Miss Conrad has the honor of be- ing president of the French Circle, vice-president of Social Service, and secretary of Debating Club, proving her efficiency in each of these offices. With all this executive abili.y that Catherine has, wouldn't it be interesting if some day we should be asked to call on Presidentess Conrad” at the White House? Our Catherine burns the midnight oil. While pouring o’er her books of toil; Debating affords her lots of fun. And she’s an honor to '21. 26
