THE BLUE AND STEEL 23 luck, Eulia, and we are mighty glad you aren’t to be our teacher. She is one of those girls you can’t help but like. She has a sunny disposition and is a good sport. We wonder why Eulia is firm in her stand to attend West Chester Normal? Is it to obtain greater knowledge or a better idea of the opposite sex? Only “Teeny” knows and she won’t tell. We wish you great success in your college career, and we hope to hear from you from time to time, so don’t forget us. “Cheery smile, sunny gal, To us all she is a pal.” ELEANORE GOURICK CAINE “Gainey” “Land Goshen!” Science Club (2, 4) ; Glee Club (2) ; Latin Club (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Bells of Beaujolais (4). To know her is to like her. Eleanore has a steady, conscientious disposition, which should be an example to us all. She is an indispensable member of our class, is not in- clined to be outspoken, but rather to be solemn and silent in the presence of strangers. But as soon as she is acquainted, she is full of life as any other memb r of the class. My, how we all will miss “Cainey’s” frown, which she can do to perfection when some- thing displeases her, or her bored expression when we poor mortals in class could not grasp the topic under discussion as well as she—for, you know, Eleanore is very intelli- gent and because of it was elected to be salutatorian of the class. Besides, ( ainey tends toward being slow, especially when it comes to going to school; it seemed at times that Eleanore’s motto should be, Never hurry, never worry, the school will wait till I arrive. ” But, at that, with all her faults, we are sure of Eleanore’s success and the best wishes of the Class of ’28 go with you. “She attempts the end and never stands to doubt, . n Nothing but hard work will find it out. GLADYS MAE CAMPBELL “Glad” “Aw—naw-thing!” Miniature Lady (2) ; Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Blue and Gold Staff (4) ; Correspond- ing Secretary of Class (4); Basketball (1, 2, 3. 4). , Behold the star forward of Conshy s bas- ketball team! Gladys has another vocation besides plaving in athletic games and that is “heart-breaking.” But, never mind, Gladys, vou rre proof that “gentlemen do not preier blondes. Gladys has a way of succeeding in everything she undertakes, Yvhich %e ar. sure will help her to succeed in the business world. You have the best wishes of the Class of ’28. Brown of hair, brown of eye, . She makes many of the Senior boys sigh. LAVINIA ALICE COLEN “Peanuts” “Oh! Gee!” Commercial Club (4) ; Home Economics Club (4) ; Miniature Lady (2) ; Sailor Maids (3); Bells of Beaujolais (4). Here we have a little mite, but who has a big heart and a store of good nature—that’s “Peanuts.” She is sort of quiet until you really know her and then—how she can talk —an incessant line of chatter that makes one want to laugh. Lavinia was one of our prima donnas and sung her way to success during our Senior year—we feel that if she were to choose music for her life vocation that her name would appear in the bright lights. But, alas, as she is one of our com- mercial students, her choice will be—that of a stenographer, and we know she will suc- ceed because she is another version of the old adage, “Good things come in small packages.” Therefore, Lavinia, Yvhether it be shorthand or on the stage, success to you from the Class of ’28. “She is a maiden of artless grace, Gentle of form and fair of face. GRACE CATHERINE CONGLETON “Grade” I’ll slap your face!” Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Science Club (1, 2) ; Latin Club (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Debating Team (4). “Grade” always used to be one of our quiet girls, but now she is forever talking and Yve can’t keep her quiet. Grace is the poet of the class. She is always Yvriting poetry about someone. She expects to go to Normal School next year to become a teacher. The Class wishes you lots of suc- cess and may Yve hear from you in the future as a successful teacher. “Quiet a poetess is she, n The girls who hums like a bumblebee.” CATHARINE AMANDA COCLSTON “Kitty” “What’s it to you?” Sailor Maids (3) ; Latin Club (1, 2, 3, 4) ; ;iee Club (1, 2); Home Economics Club 4); Basketball Team (3, 4); Debating 'eam (4); Oratorical Contest (4). Behold! Here we have “Kitty,” a mem- er of the fair sex who has made quite a ame for herself as an orator in debating his vear. “Kitty” not only made a great uccess of debating, but was also one of the uards on the Varsity Basketball Team. She as been an ardent supporter of every activity n the High School, especially in athletics. )uring the last few months “Kitty’s” atten- ion has swerved tosvards boys’ athletics, specially among the Junior Class, and we vonder why this class distinction? V ill you

22 THE BLUE AND STEEL sure that John will make a success of his life’s work. John is one of the best-dressed fellows around C. H. S. and also one of the quietest. One of the few things that our classmates have not been able to fathom is why John will not get up and speak in chapel for us. To hear John speak in chapel once would be a treat for the Class of ’28, but the fatal time is drawing nigh and we fear for the worst. We are sure that “Pol- lock” will enjoy college and have many good times through a successful professional life. Good luck to you, John—Class of ’28. “Pollock is sure a success to be, And we wish him luck as a future M.D.” LANCE SINGLETON STALEY Staley ,” “Lance” “Where’s the women ?” Gypsy Rover (1) ; Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Latin Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Science Club (2, 3, 4) ; Debating Team (4) ; Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Band (4). “Staley” is one of the quiet fellows of our class, who has little to say, being of a very quiet nature, but when his voice is heard we are sure to hear something worth while. “Staley” is another member of our class who intends to pursue the medical line at Gettys- burg College in the fall. Although a quiet boy, “Lance” has been stepping out in the last year and we are almost sure from appearances that there must be one of the opposite sex concerned! We hope, “Lance,” you make a great success during your college career and beware of the Gettysburg co-eds— for we are looking forward to the great M.D. in future years to come. To you goes the best of luck from the Class of ’28. ‘Staley,’ riding in his car. Makes six miles under par.” TITCS JOHN STELTZ “Steltzie,” “Titus,” “Jawn” “Let’s eat!” Science Club (2, 3, 4) ; Football (4) ; Basketball (4). Of all the shy fellows around C. H. S. “Titus” is one of those most affected by a bashful complex as far as the weaker sex are concerned. John is an athletic sort of a 4—Beaver-Martin—7837 ................HUTTON fellow and his big blonde head was an inspiration to the rest of the fellows on the team which supported C. H. S. in the past year. Many of the girls in the Class of ’28 have looked longingly at John’s blue eyes and blonde hair, but to no avail, for “Titus” is not the kind to fall. “Titus” is sure to receive a welcome anywhere and he has the best wishes of the Class of ’28. “'Titus,' bashful, and ever late, Made the teachers always wait.” EDWARD WILLIAM WHITE “Eddie” “I’ll bite—what is it?” Gypsy Rover (1) ; Sailor Maids (3) ; Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Honor Bright (3) ; The Patsy (4) ; Commercial Club (2, 3, 4) ; De- bating Team (4) ; Oratorical Contest (3, 4) ; Editor of Blue and Gold (4). Behold! our most popular boy! “Eddie” is the best-liked boy of the class. He is good- looking—there’s no question to that and his appearance is always of the best. He pos- sesses the combination of brains, common sense, humor, irresistible smile, and leader- ship. He has no rival in his achievements. “Eddie” is always willing to do something for anyone and has never been known to refuse anyone. When he is not busy he is usually up to mischief. He has a long string of admirers, and who wouldn’t fall for those big Irish blue eyes and that agreeable dis- position? We have heard that “Eddie” in- tends going to college, although he is not sure. We hope you do go, “Eddie,” for your scholastic ability will carry you to the highest success. We all wish you the best of luck and success in your future life. “A conquering man, with handsome parts, lie has no precedent in breaking hearts.” FRED ARTHUR YOUNGJOHNS “Fred,” “Youngy” “I don’t know and I don’t care.” Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Band (3, 4) ; Latin Club (1, 2); Science Club (2, 3, 4). “Fred” is one of those chaps no one seems to know much about. “Fred” is very for- getful when it comes to getting his report card in on time. He either mislaid it or forgot to bring it. Good alibi, don’t you think? That is all we know about his out- yard appearance, but the few who know the “real Fred” declares that “Fr?d” isn’t the chap we think he is. If you need a helping hand call on “Fred” and you are sure to get it. To you, “Fred,” from the Class of 1928, the best of luck for the future. A silent chap he seems to be. An example for future lads is he.” EULIA MAE ADAIR “Teeny “My Cow!” Gypsy Rover (1) ; Miniature Lady (2); Sailor Maids (2) ; Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Glee Club (1, 2, 3); Latin Club (1, 2); Sci- ence Club (2, 3, 4) ; Home Economics Club (+). “Teeny” is an Academic student and she is full of fun. “Teeny” expects to be a teacher some day. Well, we wish you the best of

THE BLUE AND STEEL 24 tell us, “Kitty?” No? Well, perhaps some day we will find out. We also hear she is going to Wilson next year. Wilson’s gain will be our loss. But we do expect to hear from you “Kitty,” even if you are away from all your classmates of C. H. S., who, you can be assured, will be always wishing you success in your college career. With her versatile tongue and willing hand, ‘Kitty’ will never lack a friend.” CLARA MARIA DEDEO “Clara” “Gee!” Gypsy Rover (1); Glee Club (1); Home Economics Club (4). Clara always seemed to be one of the quiet girls of our class, but we don’t think she will be when she is out of school. She is a good-looking girl and you know that always counts a lot. Clara has surprised us in typing, making one of the highest records in the class. We wish you lots of success as someone’s stenog. “Quick to act, full of tact, She always brings an answer back.” CLARA MAY FULMER “Clip” “Where’s Bea ?” Gypsy Rover (1); Miniature Lady (2); Sailor Maids (3) ; Honor Bright (3) ; The Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Home Economics Club (4) ; Science Club (2, 3, 4) ; Latin Club (1, 2); Glee Club (1, 2, 3); Basket- ball (3, 4); Blue and Gold Staff (4). Behold, our star center of the girls’ basket- ball team! But “Clip” has other pastimes now that basketball season is over, and that is teasing “Blacky” in Room 6. When “Clip” and Bea get together, John usually has to leave, and wherever you see “Clip” you usually see Bea. We often wondered why “Clip hurries home on certain days. It is quite an event to receive a letter from col- lege, isn’t it, “Clip?” “Clip’s” wit and humor have won her many friends and also made her the most popular girl of the school. Best of luck to you in the future and plenty of success at Temple. “Eyes of brown, bequeaths frowns, But none of these in ‘Clip’ are found.” HELEN ROSE CABIN “Gab,” “Gabinus” “Good grief!” Science Club (1, 2); Latin Club (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Orchestra (1, 2) ; Blue and Gold Staff (+)• Again we say, “Wonders will never cease,”- for have any of you noticed Helen this year? She sure has taken a new lease on life; quiet and demure last year—but now—just full of pep and fun—always ready to go. We can’t imagine what is doing it—unless she is preparing for next year while in the wild and woolly city of “Philly,” where she is expecting to live while going to Temple University. Helen is quite a journalist and is planning to study Journalism as her life vocation. We can readily see from the excel- lent work which she did on the Blue and Gold Staff and with the History of the Class that she is well fitted for this work. Well, Helen, we wish you much success at Temple as you have had at C. H. S. May you always uphold the Class of ’28 as you have done in the past. “Otiiet and demure was she, Changing to one who is happy and free.” BAPTISTA MARY GlOVANGELO “Bobs” “Oh, Ham!” Commercial Club (2, 3, 4) ; Home Eco- nomics (4); Glee Club (2, 3); Bells of Beaujolais (4). “Babs” is the smallest girl in our class and she is also one of the quietest, but, as you all know, good things come in small pack- ages. She is such a quiet sort of a person that we were all amazed one day when she was called to attention in Room 6. Well, Babs,” we wish you lots of success in the future and we know you will be very suc- cessful as a stenographer. “ ‘Bab’ is the shortest girl of all, “Plenty of friends to her doth fall.” BEATRICE FRANCES GORMLEY “Bea” “If not; why not?” Miniature Lady (2); Honor Bright (3); Home Economics Club (4); Glee Club (1, 2; Blue and Gold Staff (4); Science Club (3, 4). “Bea is the life of the class and won’t we miss her when we are out of school ? Witty? That’s no name for “Bea!” Just try and find one that can beat her when it comes to kidding. Wherever “Bea” is, there is usually a crowd. We all love to hear her explain in her drole way some incident. And how she can talk and make fun when it con- cerns her best pal and chum, “Clip.” We wonder what the big attraction is in His- tory that draws “Bea’s” attention to the southeast corner of the room. We are sure your winning smile and ready wit will bring you many friends in the future, “Bea,” so don’t let your smile dim and don’t lose your wit. “A bit of humor now and then, Is relished by the best of men.” MARY FRANCES HEAD “Med,” “Blondie,” “lleadie” “You’re no owl!” Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Commercial Club (2, 3, 4) ; Glee Club (3) ; Home Economics Club (4).
