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

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

Elva Emma Bauscher, ...... McKeansburg. He not fashion’s gilded lady, He a brave, whole-souled, true woman!—Brooks. Avoirdupois or troy? Is it worth its weight in gold? That’s the question. Well, if you think it isn't, let us tell you, it takes a mighty good catcher to hold her, anyway. McKeansburg was too small to hold Elva after she began to rise into the intellectual realms. Kutztown was her next station. Here she proved herself a brave and successful girl in all her work. The Keystone Society was adorned by her talents and efforts. It was in the classroom, however, that she was the most diligent. The declension of hie, liaec, hoc (h) was to her the height of pleasure. Elva will live to see those whom she taught to wield the pen, and move the world with eloquence, become the pillars of our liberty and independence. Francis George Bear, Route 2, Breinigsville. A bear! A bear! Not a grizzly, but Francis George, one of the most energetic members of the class of 1912, who first made his appearance some time after the Civil War. ‘‘Teddy” developed rapidly and we soon find him at Keystone. When you look at “Teddy” it seems as though he is a regular rock affected by nothing, but nevertheless he becomes sick very suddenly. His most acute attack occurred one day in February of his senior year. However, he recovered and now enjoys the best of health. “Teddy” is a good athlete, and when it comes to basketball it takes a brick wall to stop him while on the run. Although not possessing poor eyesight he confesses difficulty in seeing through the planes in solid geometry. When it comes to his profession, we are sure that “Teddy” will prove himself worthy and will give the light of knowledge to many needy souls. 25
