Kirk took care of our class notes for the Spectrum during the Junior year; he is one of the editors of the Who's Who Department of the Spectrum, president of the Debating Club, and head of the Personality Committee of tho Annual. Wo wish him the great- est success in anything he undertakes.

OUR 1 923 ANNUAL 19 RICHARD P. AIKIN Dick” came to C. H. S. from Lar- kin Grammar School in 1919. At first he was known only as a student; then it was found out that ho could dance, and from that time until this, he has been a ladies’ man. He rarely misses a school dance or party. In his Junior year he was on the Spectrum board, and was editor in his Senior year. Debating Club and Dramatic Club were honored with his membership, and he took a leading part In both. The class of ’23 wish him the best possible success. EVELYN ALLCUTT “Kitty,” “Evey,” “Ev” That tall, dignified girl with dark hair? That’s Kitty, our class histor- ian. For three years “Kitty” has written our joys and sorrows while in C. H. S. “Evey” showed her dram- atic ability as “Cousin Julia” in the play for Freshman Reception. Ev” is also interested in a certain light- haired young man with blue eyes. Yes. Kitty.“ Phil is all right. What- ever you undertake. “Evey,” you have our best wishes. GEORGE ARSCOTT “Peanut” When C. II. S. opened its doors to Freshmen in 1919, there entered a boy who was one of the smallest in the class. This distinguished gentle- man was George, and after four years of High School he is still the same size. Won’t you ever grow up, George? He took the Industrial Course and for the last two years has been co-operating at the Viscose Silk Mill. Although George Is small, we hope to see him a “big” man some day.

 LUCILLE BOYER “Boots” Among the new pupils who joined our class in 1920. was “Boots.” She is another Marcus Hook lassie and is full of the old home town spirit. “Boots' is a pleasure loving girl; the least of her worries being lessons. How are the lessons on the ukelele progressing. Boots?” Wo are anxious to know. May all the success possible be your, “Boots.” OUH 19 2 3 ANNUAL HAROLD BRODY Harold entered Chester High in 1919 from Franklin Grammar School. From the time he entered until he graduated, he was one of the busiest boys in the school. He was a prom- inent member of the Debating Club and Glee Club, and an able sub on the baseball team. But the subject in which Harold excels, is that of telling jokes. We recommend that ho go in the joke book publishing bus- iness. 21 MARY BROWN Molly” Among the other good students sent from Larkin School. Mary is one. Mary was very fortunate in securing a place on the public debating team. This is a very great honor and credit to her. Molly” is one of the dozen stud-nts taking Virgil, which is enough to say. We wish Mary the same success in college that she has had in C. H.
