Minnie Isabella Bachman, ...... Kempton. A babe in a house is a well spring of pleasure.—Tupper. The great town of Stony Run was decked in winter attire when Minnie Isabella first arrived there on February 23, 1894. Minnie grew7 up to be quality and not quantity, and consequently was sent to K. S. N. S. at an early age. After her arrival here she settled down to be a hard and conscientious worker, and as a result contracted the disease known as “fussing.” But we all know that fussing will leave her by the time she has earned enough money to buy a ten-acre farm with a beautiful bungalow. She is then going to make chicken raising a specialty. We wish her success, so much so, that K. S. N. S. will be able to give its students eggs every Wednesday morning during the winter terms. Elizabeth May Bailer, . H43 N. 56th St., Philadelphia. Life is a teacher stern, and wisdom’s crown Is oft a crown of thorns— She bore it well. This mild, meek, lonely looking girl comes from the city of Brotherly Love, and although she does look as if she had a world of care, nevertheless she possesses a jolly disposition. She claims that she was born some time within the memory of man. Her ideals are high, and although she herself is small, she craves for something tall, “ whose summit like all hills is lost in vapor,” something “Bright.” She is of credit to the class, and a continuation of her work done while here will win for her a brilliant success. Good luck to you is the wish of all. 23

John Raymond Angstadt, Kutztown. Let Hercules himself say what he may The cat will mew and the dog will have his day. Raymond set the Angstadt family agog for the first time on Inauguration Day, 1893. He has three hobbies—tennis, at which he is an expert; girls—but pshaw, why should we bother with his conscience anyhow? The third is electricity. Raymond knows more of electricity from a few moments’ personal contact than from many weeks’ study in physics. He is our star electrician. We hope that he will let electricity alone or he will repeat a headless victory. As to girls for whom you profess so great admiration, Raymond, our advice is to let them alone and shun them as you would shun tire. They are much more dangerous than electricity. Raymond intends to lead a professional career and will no doubt make a success of his profession. Ruth Naomi Anthony, . . . . . Lehighton. July the twenty fourth in eighteen ninety two, Brought to Lehighton skies so blue A lovely blossom which into a flower has blown Which one will pluck and claim his own. It was on the twenty-fourth of July, 1892, that Ruth Naomi Anthony was ushered into this cold world. She attended the Lehighton schools and her ambition, together with other attractions, took her to Easton for her high school course. For some well-defined reason she selected the Keystone Normal to prepare her for the profession of teaching. While here she became a faithful follower of “Erasmus,” both by precept and practice. She puts all her trust in his words, “Lest ’er dreams of future success and happiness should fade. Though a disciple of “Erasmus,” she does not think it enough to know what the ancients knew and to speak it with eloquence, but is a firm follower of domestic science and an advocate of woman’s rights. Like Ruth of old she says whither thou goest I will follow; thy people shall be my people; I will neither leave thee nor forsake thee till death part thee and me. 22

Solon Francis Barner, Route i, Kutztown Between the time of Adam and the present day. For all we know so much we now’ can say, That he a babe by birth was borne aboard, Upon the cozy w'ings of mother stork. One day the gusty breezes of Eagle Point bore the glad tidings of a newly born babe, who was to become a candidate in the educational field. Your future ideal may be realized, but, sorry to say, you can never win success in your vocation, for you can be won by a “Wink.” Since you will be a solid Democrat we presume to meet you discussing “tariff revision,” in your campaign for the next presidential candidate, among the inhabitants of Mars. Don’t forget to remember Old Keystone to them. HalliE StettlER Bastian, ..... Wescoesville. She made an instrument to know’ If the moon shine at full moon or no.—Butler. Hallie made her appearance in the prosperous little town of Wescoesville, in the year 1893. After getting into mischief for five years, her parents found some relief by sending her to school. The last year of her public school life was the most interesting. Here she found a loving and sincere friend, who still tags at her heels. .She is a very happy maiden, whose temper nothing but a below grade could rutile. The most sociable of entertainers, for all day long and even late at night the sounds of merry laughter can be heard coming from her room and echoing down the corridors of third hall. Hallie expects to teach a few years, after which she expects to enter the musical realms. 24
