If we tried to toll you all the things that Anna can do, you would not be'ieve us anyway: so we won't attempt it. Anna has two hobbles that we know all about: one is getting perfect history marks and thus showing the rest of us up like so many tailors’ dummies, and the other is a deep, dark secret.

He soon made a career for himself as a debater. ?te- sides being one of our star debaters. “Mush” is interested in athletics. He was on the class basketball team. “Mush” also was manager of the successful baseball team of 1922. “Manager” is quite a musician. I£«» played in the school orches- tra, and during his Senior year was in the Hoys’ Glee Club. There Is one thing about “Manage»”’ that is very mysteri- ous; it is that as soon as school stops he rushes to Atlantic City. We wonder if he is a traffic cop? Come what will, come what may, Mush” will argue any day. LENA BARTON Lena entered C. H. S. in 1916. but was out for two years on account of Illness. Of course, we are sorry that Lena was ill; but we arc very fortunate In having her graduate with us. Lena has taken the Four Year Commercial Course, but do not think that studies take all of Lena’s time. “Nick” can always make time go quickly when he is around, but of course, he can't be there all the time, so Ixma spends the rest of her time writing letters. They are addressed to Providence. This is quite a distance, but Lena’s motto seems to be Ab- sence makes the heart grow fonder.” Lena, oh. she won’t bring Lester, To this town of pep and vim. For she is afraid, we think, That the girls will pester him. 4--- 20 4-

She took the four year Commercial Course and passed it with high honors. Gussie is very quiet and does not take much interest in boys, hut we guess there will soon he a young man in whom Gussie can not refrain from taking an interest. “We cannot solve this mystery. Why this girl is so fond of history.” “Stony. “Blumy” Who is this curly haired young man coming toward us in the hall? Why. don’t you know? That’s Leon Blumberg, the only boy in Chester High School who will admit he is never wrong. No. Leon knows himself that he is very good, and he does not seem to care much for the girls around High, and we won- der why? Gather round me, girls, and I'll tell you «a secret. Several nights a week Stony takes his little Hup. and rides merrily into Philadelphia. We are told that Blumy intends to go into the dry goods business some day. So perhaps he is looking for a partner. Well, all his classmates wish him huge success in which ever business he chooses, and we feel sure he will have it. +■ +
