Our high school life had been much more eventful than that of most classes. For two years we played upon the “campus” of Wolf High under the trees that so many arbor day celebrations had placed there, while we watched the silvery Delaware roll by, twinkling through the treetops whenever we glanced up from our books. It was all very beautiful and it almost broke our hearts to leave when as Juniors we came out to our new senior high school. We were delight- ed with the beautiful new building and with the fact that our “Wolf” teachers came along with us. As juniors we watched the Class of 1926 go through all their senior activities. As seniors we likewise have set a precedent for others. Now, armored in knowledge mounted upon youth and opportunity the seniors leave Easton High School for the last time.

Busy and valuable they have supported every activity, they have backed all our plays and op- erettas to the limit. Their talent in music and dancing added charm to The Fire Prince. Their bril- liance is proved by the fact that they have the highest percentage of students on the honor roll. As Sophomores they entered Easton High coming from all the widely- scattered wilds of Easton. A trifle bewildered at first by the awesome grandeur and newness of our big school, they soon found their way about and settled down to be the nicest possible junior class with the following officers: President................................. CLAIR CHURCHMAN Vice-President....................................CHARLES RlEL Secretary.................................. MARIE SCHLABACH Treasurer. .................................SHIMER SERFASS Class Advisor...............................VERNA M. REED Page 49 Sophomore Class OMING from the best junior high schools in the State, S c h u 1 1, Wolf, and March, where they had their own school paper, their own assemblies, dramatic or- ganizations, glee clubs, bands and orchestras, our Sophomores seemed a little bit left out of things when they found the juniors and seniors managing activities here. But they kept right on being sweet little sophs, and under the able guidance of Miss Alice Bagley they gave a most enjoyable St. Patrick's Day party in the gymnasium, exclu- sively for Sophomores, and thus avenged themselves upon the very mighty seniors. Their officers are as follows: President....... Vice-President Secretary....... Treasurer....... Class Advisor.. Paul Koskey Betty Snyder Josephine Schmidt ......Mark Bauer ... Alice Bagley Page 53 Sophomore Class Boys Junior High EHOLD the seniors’ right hand helpers! In all entertain- ments the junior girls assisted them by their petite pretti- ness. The Rechauffe cam- paign was successfully launched; the fun of the dramtic club entertainment was heightened, and the cour- tesy contest in speeches was won by these clever juniors. They had difficulty in learn- ing corridor and cafeteria rules, but they finally suc- ceeded and became pocket editions of their ’‘model seniors. They even organ- ized their class and elected the following officers: President........................................Russel PEIFER Vice-President...............................................JOHN CERICOLA Secretary.......................................

Cft - U ,__Trainer AiM..n_____________ Football ITH a schedule considered to be one of the hardest in the Football History of Easton High, a record of 5 victories, 3 defeats and 1 tie is quite impressive. “Pat’’ Reilly had the difficult task of forming a team from a squad of 100 candidates containing but 2 lettermen. The outlook was not very promising. However, Perkasie was defeated 26-9 and visions or success appeared. The next victim of the comparatively green team was Chester, who fell 19-0. P. I. D., a team of heavier and more experienced players, proved too hard for the team and we were defeated 14-0. The following Saturday, the Champions of the Catholic High League of Philadelphia, succumbed to the efforts of Easton 15-0. In the Allentown game, Easton’s disastrous lack of a drop-kicker showed itself, for the game was lost 7-6. Scranton, although much heavier, failed to stop the 2 touchdowns that were put across. Again the failure to add the extra point defeated us for Bethlehem walked home on the better end of a 14-13 score. Lebanon, the next on the list, proved no match for Easton and they fell 33-2. There still remained the biggest game of the season and P'burg was quite confident of victory, being credited with one of the best teams in their history. After the game was over the score was 6-6, the only tie game of the year. Throughout the season. Easton scored a total of 130 points to their opponents 52. Such a record made by a light team with but little experience is certainly one of which Easton High may well be proud. Football for 1926 was a success in many ways, financially it was most successful and the enthu- siasm shown by an exceedingly large squad and the excellent support of the student body shows the real spirit of Easton High.

Coach Richards and Captain Worman were able to whip into shape an excellent team. With a hard schedule before them, the squad set gamely to work, and after several weeks of coaching and spring training they were able to meet the grind and start the season off successfully. In view of the fact that the team, at the start of training, was weak in several positions, we wish to congratulate Coach Richard, on amply filling these positions, and for carrying it through a good season. It is not always the scores that count but the spirit and cooperation with which the enterprises are carried on, and with this in view, the baseball season successfully closes our school athletic activities.

Boys’ Basketball forty candidates responded to Coach Duffy’s first call, last fall, of Easton’s most strenuous basketball seasons was about to i. With Captain Smith, the single remaining varsity man, the of moulding a formidable team into shape seemed great indeed, 'ever, by means of much hard work and faithful training, together with an excellent spirit, a fine team was produced. Being a member of the Easton Pennsylvania Scholastic Basketball League for the first time, the schedule was probably the most difficult in Easton's his- tory. With teams such as Pottstown and Coatesville testing their merit, the team came through with flying colors. The support of the student body was very encouraging to the squad, who more than deserved it. Much fine material has been developed for next year’s team, which, we hope, will fare as well as this year’s quintet.

Girls' Basketball [HE girls' team of 1927 continued to add to the impressive record of Girls' Basketball at Easton High School. Though handicapped by the important loss of several of the varsity squad of 1926, the earnestness and natural ability of the members of the squad, com- bined with the excellent coaching of Miss Chalmers, were the big- gest factors that contributed to their success. The team was not distinguished for its individual stars of whom there were many, but for its wonderful exhibition of perfect coordination of team play which is of prime importance to any successful team. They have played the following games this year: Dec. 10—Wilson—Away. Dec. 17—Allentown—Away. Jan. 8—Scranton Tech.—Away. Jan. 1 2—Washington—Away. Jan. 14—Bel videre—Home. Jan. 22—Scranton-Central—Home. Jan. 29—Wilson—Home. Feb. 5—Phillipsburg—Home. Feb. 12—Bethlehem—Away. Feb. 19—Allentown—Home. Feb. 22—Alumnae—Home. Feb. 25—Phillipsburg—Away Mar. 5—Bethlehem—Home. Mar. 8—Washington—Home. Mar. 11—Bel videre—Away. Page OK Track HE popularity of track in our school increases every year. This is shown by the increasingly large number of candidates on the squad, and the interest displayed throughout the school. Manager Betts has arranged a schedule that promises to be harder than ever, but with Captain Arnold to spur them on they have made a record not to be lightly considered. . m Boys' Tennis • x jLTHOUGH Tennis has been one of our school activities for only seven ujV- years, our boy’s team has already become one of the most feared teams ijci in the league in the Lehigh Valley. Here's to Captain Lamb and Man- — ager Mathews to bring them through another successful season. Girls' Tennis • XfiNOTHER debutante in our athletic circle, but a very successful one. Each UjV- year our girls’ team is becoming stronger, and most of their opponents fall before their requets. We feel sure that they will keep up to the — standard set by other E. H. S. teams.

We have above us one of the most famed groups in Easton High, the people who, by their great efforts, have helped our teams win many a game. With several members of last year's squad as a nucleus, we soon had an experienced aggregation which did noble work throughout the entire year. This group, indeed, personifies the High School spirit, and as the leaders of our cheers and songs they have filled the role excellently. They have been faithful leaders, holding back none of their strength, thinking not of self but of success for our teams, and they therefore truly embody real unselfish school spirit.

The Delegate Assembly j|AST year the Delegate Assembly, or Student Council was organized in order that the students might participate in self-government. During the past year this body has advanced by leaps and bounds, and has accomplished much towards establishing itself more firmly. The Delegate Assembly is composed of representatives chosen by each advisory group. This body meets together with the officers of the Easton High School Association once a month. Together they carry on self-government and regulate the laws of the school. The Student Council has charge of the corridors, cafeteria, and in fact, the assembly. Conditions have been improved greatly in each of the aforemen- tioned, and the school is becoming much more orderly as a result. Another step taken by the Council, was in the form of a courtesy campaign. A new branch of the Delegate Assembly is the Student Court. It is com- posed of nine judges, selected by the President of the Assembly, chosen from both the members of the Assembly and the officers of the E. H. S. A. The President of the Student Council acts as chairman. The purpose of the Court is to bring to task the students who disobey the laws of the Assembly. The Delegate Assembly has done very well, considering it is still in its infancy, and deserves to be highly complimented upon the beneficial influence it has brought to bear upon the students.

It is to us what the Phi Beta a is to colleges in creating interest in the social as well as the istic side of our school life. The National Society was organized under the National Asso- ciation of Secondary School Principals. The charter of the Easton Chapter of the National Honor Society was granted January 21, 1925. This organization stands not only for scholarship, but for leadership, character and service, which are cardinal faculties in any school. Some students have musical and artistic talents, some write cleverly, others are able to win an “E” in an athletic sport, but it is the few all round people who have the scholarship, service, leadership and character requirements to get into the ranks of the National Honor Society.

The Negative team, captained by Geraldine Gorman, is composed of Douglas Woodring. Captain Gorman and John Yahraes. The Affirmative team, captained by Edward McCluskey, is as follows: Captain McCluskey, Ruth Cline and Kathryn Phillips. The team is under the splendid coaching of Mr. William Fackenthal with Violet Mcison as manager, and Joseph Kuebler as assistant manager: Fannie Bixler is alternate. Alumni The alumni was organized in 1902 and has continued actively since then. Its first president was Floyd A. McAlee. It had never been more prosperou; than at the present time: there being 400 present at its dance given to the Seniori at Eddyside, last June 16. The future success of this organization is dependent upon the support of the class and those of the future, to whom we heartily appeal for loyalty. President . ...WALTER L.

Glee Club Operetta fortunate enough to see Captain Crossboncs.” one of the delightful of all Glee Club operettas, were transported as if agic to Havana, where intrigue, pirate-kidnappers in search rir lady-loves, mixed with laughter, well-trained choruses and Spanish music held them enthralled throughout the evening. Gertrude Muller, as Theresa, the heroine, captured our hearts as completely as she did the hero’s, gallant Captain Crossbones, alias Richard Stonncybroke, alias Wesley Bender. Rollen Stewart, as Don Cubeb de Cigarro, the arrogant severe father of Theresa, portrayed this difficult role to perfection, ably supported by Margaret Krohn, as Doua Isabella. Ruth Gcbhard, as Eleanor, the American heiress, with whom Captain Bouebastio, Paul Hawk, falls in love, enchanted everyone. Marjorie McPherson, as Miss Pelling, Claude Haupt as Anthony Law, Claire Ealer as Kitty, Bill Pilgrim or Lewis Hauk, and of course the rolicking, frolicking Zim and Zam, James Wigham and Reed Dorsheimer respectively, completed this excellent cast. Mr. Beam, coach, Pro- fessor Illingworth and Miss Bagley advising coaches, Miss Chalmers, dancing coach, and Miss Dull, together with the cast, all contributed toward making this the most successful of Glee Club operettas.

She takes quite an interest in horseback riding and dancing, but with all the boy friends, dances and pet horses. “Babe” is a good student. ELIZABETH ANDERSON We often wonder what she thinks of as she sits with that dreamy, far-off expression in her eyes. We have never found out. Betty is not fond of studying, but is a model pupil in behavior. However. Betty can always enjoy a good time. MARIE BAIER She's such a nice girl, every one says. We all agree that Marie is a nice girl and a very pretty one too. And we enjoy watching her clever fingers sketch flowers and birds and beautiful ladies. She is fortunate in possessing many talents. ELSIE BARANEK In Elsie we seem to have a miracle, for she has won both the teacher’s and the students' hearts: the former by hard study, and the latter by her ready wit and good sportsmanship. LILLIAN BARBER Lillian reminds us of one of those sweet demure. little Puritan maids. She is so sedate, so quiet and ladylike. But we arc sure that she can be very merry at times, and her chums say she is a good pal. EUGENIE BARNAKO Three cheers for Eugenie! The prettiest maid a senior play ever had. We all would love to have Eugenic say to us. “Can I do anything for you?” in that sweet way she said it to our Shirley. But good as Eugenic was as a maid, we know she will do other greater things. EDITH BAUMAN Edith is one of our “all-around” girls, active in sports and studies, with a very jolly and likable disposition and an ever present cheery smile. , ROSE BELLO We all admire Rose's quiet prettincss. She is indeed well named, for no truer roses bloom than those in her cheeks. Besides Rose is a splendid Math, student and she can solve baffling trig, problems in a way that makes us all gasp. FRANCES BERTRAND Frances looks like a big. golden-haired, blue-eyed doll, we almost believe she is one until we hear her sing, and then that gay lilting voice of hers charms us still more. Frances has taken part in all our operettas and has helped to make them a success. ETHEL BITTNER Laughing Ethel. Always giggling over some good time, always full of fun. And yet. Ethel finds time to do all her lessons. May she ever enjoy life as she does now. FANNIE BIXLER We realize in Fannie our ideal of a perfect lady. Well dressed, well bred, well liked. Fannie is a tennis star and she swims splendidly. She is also very prominent in dramatics, in the senior play and several other sketches. Fannie also debates. ADELAIDE BLAKE One of those enviable girls who always seems to be having a good time and yet maintains the reputation of a good student. Her pretty little nose is nei;er shiny, and we all wonder how she keeps that beautiful marcel so long. Page 80 ANNA BOERSTLER One of the few red-headed girls in our big class. It really is a crowning glory. We envy Anna with her two laughing dimples, and also her brilliant sense of humor. HELEN BOSSARD Really. I wonder if Helen can get cross. Her temper is so smooth, so gentle always, so per- fectly controlled. And her smile is ever ready for us, so you have our best wishes Helen, and we will miss you next year. DOROTHY BRETZ Ah. fade you lesser lights before Dorothy’s real brilliance! She is a member of the national honor society, which means a great deal. Our own honor-roll has never appeared without her name. RUTH BUGEN Ruth is going to Travel. Travel? Yes. through Scotland and then through Europe. We hope she will write a book of her travels, ah. Ruth Bugcn. authoress, it sounds good. Be sure to collect all the Scotch jokes over there! POLLY COHEN Another quiet lass. Polly very seldom causes her teachers any trouble. If all students would follow her example, there wouldn't be an 8th period study hall. She has made many friends during her four years at High School, and we wish her much luck. DORINDA CROBOUGH Can you picture a little red school house, fifty miles from nowhere with Dorinda the teacher? She tells us that she is going to be a country school marm. but we doubt it. To be a teacher seems to be Dorinda's aim in life, but maybe Russell will change her resolution. GRACE CRUICKSHANK Here is another girl who has made a name at basketball. Grace, besides being a good basketball player, is also a good sport. She has kept many a group of girls happy, and has proven herself to be a good friend. ELIZABETH DELONG This is our fun-making classmate. Bcttic has kept many a class in good spirits by her humor and originality. She has taken an active part in all school affairs and also in class dis- cussions. As for popularity, well, ask the opposite sex. How is the banker's daughter? EDITH DICKEY Edith tells us she is going to be a typist, and then we begin to wonder if she could ever be quiet long enough to let her employer give her dictation. One of Edith's most pleasing characteristics is her good nature. MARGARET DONNELLY A classmate of whom we have not heard much. Margaret is a fine girl and we have not all had the opportunity of making friends with her. but she is a good worker and we are sure she will be a success in no matter what line she may choose to enter. CLAIRE EALER A girl who is admired by all who know her. She is one of the song-birds of our class. Oh. yes, Claire sings beautifully, and she has often entertained us with music. Claire is always ready for a good time but she never shirks her lessons. THELMA EDINGER May we present one of the most likable girls that we know of. Thelma is a whiz at basketball and also loves to trip the light fantastic. Wherever you sec Thelma, you may be sure that John is not far off. BERYL ERNST Doesn't she look quiet? But oh. my looks arc deceiving in this case. We admit that Beryl is quiet some of the time but most of the time she is enjoying her little joke. She is popular and lively and will flutter through her future responsibilities. GRACE EVERETT Here’s to the darling baby of our class. Grace started out a year after we did. Climbed right into the class of 1927 and rose right into topmost ranks. Besides knowing that secret of getting good grades. Grace is a well-known pianist and organist. Yes. the class of 1927 is glad she caught up to them. MARIE FISHER A quiet but jolly girl is Marie. One must know her to appreciate her. She is a person who. like all truly worthwhile things, grows finer with acquaintance. Page 81 GERTRUDE FRITZ A jolly, happy-go-lucky girl is Trudy. She is always laughing, and you can never tell when she is really sad. But we know she can be serious too. and we like her cheery way. LEONORE FURLOW Lconorc is a girl with many friends. She studies her lessons because she wants to be a school teacher, and we wish her the best we can wish her—success. Don’t you wish you could be one of her scholars? KATHARINE GARES Katharine is here although you didn’t hear her. She is bashful, but that is quite a refresh- ing trait to find in the modern girl, say our hopeless grand parents, sighing over “how they did when they were young.” HELEN GEBHARD Helen is one of the girls who has enjoyed school because she puts herself into whatever she docs. Pep is not lacking for work nor play—and that means a happy and successful future we trust. RUTH GEBHARD One of the girls who has enjoyed her four years of high school and helped others enjoy them. She is jolly and a regular fun maker. The senior play proved her dramatic as well as commercial ability, and knowing her ability to sing, we think her a many talented girl. LENA GOLDMAN Lena is an honor student and that speaks for itself. We all like her for her genial and agreeable nature. She has proved herself capable in many things. GERALDINE GORMAN Gerry is one of the girls in high school who has gained many friends—she knows that to have a friend one must be a friend. The honor roll is quite a usual happening in her young life. We know too. that she loves biology (?????). GRACE GREENE Grace is one of our honor students with much ability. She is putting it to practical use in running the Junto, and does so well she deserves great credit. But we don’t all care for the mannish bob. Grace. MARIE HALLEY Who doesn't know Marie? With her pleasing personality, she has won many friends. She is very charming, a good typist, and long for this world if she dies now. In fact, we all look up to her. ELIZABETH HARE Betty is an all round good sport, a willing worker and a good scholar. Her typewriting speed will, some day. win her Bessie Friedman's” place. That she is a born manager is shown by the many offices she holds, and tho’ a hare,” she will win the race—she isn't the slow old tortoise. ANNA HARRIMAN Sunny smile and charming ways go far toward making Anna a very likeable young lady. Ever ready to be a friend, help a friend, and make a friend. Anna is welcome wherever she goes. MARY HATCH Little but mighty—nice is Mary. She has friends galore and they seem to keep coming to her! If she keeps them all the rest of us will have to go begging. “Be generous.” Mary. VERNA HILLER Verna is reserved, but beneath her quiet exterior her friends find a merry heart. She, too. is blessed with talent, and how we love to hear her violin sing with her magic touch. Has she a future? We know. MARGARET HERMES Margaret is popular with the boys and girls. We mean this, or is it true? But her popu- larity is deserved by interesting personality and charm. Gracious—refreshing different—just herself. MAE HESS A senior, yes. Mac is a senior. When she was a freshman she was so sedate we all thought she was a senior, and now she is so different from that staid, stiff, mortal, wc wonder how she can be a dignified senior. EVA HOLLAND Eva. laughing, dancing, jolly Eva! She shows us a talent every now and then. Just recently it was her dramatic ability. And always it has been her ability to win hearts. And if there weren’t some quiet folks in the world when would they listen to her? Page 82 MARJORIE HOUCK Beware of her fair hair, for she excels all women in the magic of her locks.” Marjorie's golden curls seem to blend well with her mid-Victorian air. We know she will always be the gentle maid we knew in our school days. MARGARET IMEL Hands that the rod of empire might have swayed or waked to ccstacy the living lyre. One of our wonders—she can act. paint, draw, or amuse a room with her witty remarks. And those dimples—how we envy them! With blue eyes and black hair, such an unusual combina- tion. But why not; she is an unusual girl. MILDRED JAFFEE Mabel graduated last year and this year Mildred is going to leave us. Puffs, powders, patches, biblcs. billet-doux. Good-bye. Mildred. RUTH JOHNSON But still her tongue ran on. the less of weight it bore with greater ease. Talk is cheap, they say. but even if it were very cheap we don't believe anyone could buy half as much as Ruth uses—any time, any where. She never stops. Let's ask her mother if she talks in her sleep. MILDRED KACHL1NE Was there ever a real good time without Mildred? She is one of the best fellows in our class. He that is over cautious will accomplish little. We expect a lot from Mildred. ELEANOR KELSO As Mr. Ryder said to her (Shirley Rossmore as she was in our Senior Play). I can’t get your love unless I earn it. most of us just like him. wouldn't mind being allowed to earn it. Eleanor has no nickname, therefore she isn't loved, so she tells us: because popular people always have nicknames. She is logical, but perhaps the poet expressed it more truly than logically when he said. Thoughtfess of beauty, she was beauty’s self.” But since gentlemen prefer blondes, we can't understand what is going to save our efficient little editor-in-chief from a horrible future of spinsterhood. GENEVIEVE KEMMERER You know little what a ticklish thing it is to go to law.” If Genevieve's career as a lawyer comes up to the standard she made on the debating team, we feel sure that many unarmed juries will fall under her fire. PAULINE KIRCHGASSNER A shy little lady, who steals quietly about the halls, bothering no one as she goes serenely on her way. But those whom she chose as her friends, like her all the more for her quietness. BEATRICE KLINE What’s in a name? For though she has a last name of one our favorite teachers—there’s no one else in the world quite like our precious classmate. Though we arc a large family, each member has his or her own characteristics, and hers is one we all would miss a lot. GRACE KLINE Remember that old song. Girls, girls, a garden full of girls ? Grace is one of the nicest flowers in Easton High's garden full of girls. She is a splendid typist and a wiz at shorthand. MARGARET KLINE Bumming again!” says an impish voice behind you. You turn indignantly, but instantly your indignation vanishes upon seeing Peggy. Her laughing blue eyes and fluffy hair dispell all serious thoughts. So here's to Margaret! HAZEL KOWITZ Hazel, small in stature, but mighty in mind, our accomplished musician who has delighted many by her playing. And Hazel debates and does many other things. Many an article in the “Junto proves this. ELIZABETH KRANTZ Elizabeth is a quiet person who attends to her particular affairs, and attends well, and who possesses a pleasant manner. She has attained the coveted honor roll many times. ROSE KRIM As busy as a bee.” as tiny but always doing something for some one—that's Rose. And such a happy little mortal, her eyes just dance when things go right, and tell us too. when things go wrong. Page 83 MARGARET KROHN First impressions of Margaret arc usually that she is pleasant and easy in manner, and has an individuality, which impression usually lasts. She has been active in the Operetta three years and has done well for Easton High School. ETHEL KUGLER Tres petite, n'cst-cc pas? There is nothing incongruous about Ethel, and a certain charm about her elfin nose and merry brown eyes makes us all love her. JOSEPHINE LABARRE Here is real personality and a great depth of character, with high-lights of elfin roguish- ness and high good humor, the whole completing a portrait of our own lovable Jo. ALICE LEHECKA Ah! The marvel forward of basketball! Alice of the sure hand and eye! That's where she is serious, but in second period study hall is where we see the laughing eyes and hear the suppressed giggles. Yes. there arc always two sides. ALICE LEICHLITER Many folks don't know how much fun Alice is. Her eyes sparkle, and though she isn’t talking she makes you know she is glad to be alive—and we are all glad she is too. her happy way is contagious. FRANCES LERCH Frances is one of those quiet people who. nevertheless, make themselves felt and who do good work. We know that Frances worked well on the Rechauffe typing, as well as at lessons. A good worker always succeeds. ALBERTA LICHTY And here is Alberta, whom we usually see with a patch or bandage somewhere—she seems to be fond of bumps and bruises. At any rate, she is jolly good fun. MARGARET LIGHTCAP If Margaret does as well in the game of Life as she does in the high jump, she will surely succeed. We remember those points she made in her junior year. Who will get the next ones? ELSIE LOGENBACH It's so nice to sit beside Elsie in Study Hall. She is so quiet, so sweet and always so ready to lend anything from assistance to compacts. Emerson says real happiness lies in self reliance, and Elsie seems to have found that. On a desert island Elsie could be happy. BEATRICE LYONS “Manager” should be “Bee's’ 'middle name—she's been at it for several years, in one capacity or another, which shows she is efficient and will succeed wonderfully someday in Man- aging some fortunate man. MARY MeGARY Mary believes silence is golden—but she is an industrious girlie, as all her teachers will tell you. And there are few who can tickle the keys more ably, or as she remains silent, can get more fun out of what others say. She is Irish we think, for her eyes sparkle when anyone says a wise remark. She was one of our competent typists on the Rechauffe Staff. MARJORIE MCPHERSON Marjorie—fun loving, changing, gay Marjorie. Cheerful and studious, and a worthy member of the class. After school or in school when is she gayest? LYDIA MAGEE Lydia is tall and stately—of queenly bearing, and ruling with a wise and loving hand. Respected by teachers and loved by classmates, not often the ease, but so here. MARGARET MARIONA “Peggy’' “Peggy” is our dark-haired Mary Pickford. But we hope that famous lady won’t, like Margaret, have such a pretty red coat she can’t remember her own. Were you in love or in a hurry? ELIZABETH MALONEY Betty can't you just sec a sparkling, bubbling mountain stream—brimful of fun and loveliness?—carefree and (?) heart-whole. We wonder. Page $4 HILDA MEISON Hilda's quiet, sphinx-like manner folks want to know more about her. And we wonder too, if silence is really golden. VIOLET MEISON Using her first name as a goal let us draw a picture—true blue—demure—quiet-heart of gold—dainty—sincere—Violet. Have we succeeded in showing you what she is like? EVELYN MENGEL Although Evelyn seems to have dosed the doors to us we have caught a glimpse of the palace of her friendship. She is never ready to forgive every one and join in their fun. GERTRUDE MERWARTH A shy member of our class who. although we’ve tried in vain to know her, has remained shy and unassuming. We hope she will assume some big place in the world when she leaves us. GLADYS MESSINGER Gladys always has a smile for every one no matter who it is. She may be quiet in class, but very talkative at times, too. Give her a chance, you’ll sec. ALICE MICKLEY Sparkling with wit. and keen to sec the joy in life, yet she never wastes words. Silence is golden, Alice knows. IRENE MILLS Irene has proven to us that a quiet girl can enjoy herself. She studies hard and she plays hard, and consequently her associates enjoy her companionship. IRENE MORRISON A great man once said. ’’Who is the happiest of men? He who values the merits of others, and in their pleasures takes joy, even as thou 'twerc their own,” and we think it is Irene’s motto in life. GERTRUDE MILLER Our bella prima donna” who sang us through our high school career is one of the ambi- tious students who traveled from Riegelsville every morning while the rest of us were still dozing. We admire her perseverance. DOROTHY NORTON Dotty” “Dotty” is our scout, you’ve seen her pin? She is a fine English scholar and has taken part in several debates. Toutc ensemble, she's a very nice person, even if she can’t remember her last name. RUTH OGDEN A gay. vivacious butterfly, who has fluttered through the pages of Senior Activities. As long as the butterfly qualities persist, we know they will help her climb into the hearts of her fellow creatures. ANNA OTT A cheery Hello.'' a smile, and you feel a bit better for having passed Anna. A popular gift, that smile: and she works and plays with a will. ELIZABETH PAUL There arc so many nice things to say of Betty that we don't know where to begin. She took an active part in athletics, was serious and steady in her school work and happy and gay to all of her many friends. An all-round girl is Betty! EVELYN PELTES One of the silent studious members of the class. Evelyn cxcclls in no one study but in all of them, and has won many friends in spite of that gentle, reserved manner. ELIZABETH PHILIPS Lib.” the cut-up of the classroom—the gay enemy of gloom, and she is the best tonic for loneliness known. Not that we like to call “Libby” a Tonic.” but we know she won't mind. She will take it with a smile, as she does everything else. MAE RAITH Oh! shining star and bright example fair! Who could ever compete with our brilliant Mae? There is nothing she fails in. least of all. in making friends. Page 85 IRENE RANDALL Irene is noted for her sunny laugh and disposition, and her surprising store of sweet remarks. And she is earnest in all her efforts, respected by those who know her. FLORENCE RAUB Florence is a very likeable and well-balanced combination of a giggler and a serious worker. We’ve watched her four years, and she has grown from a tiny pig-tailed Freshman to a dignified and lovely bobbed-haired Senior. DOROTHY RAYMORE What would lunch hour be to most of our fine brothers if Dot were not there to give them a sweet smile when she tells the cashier how much to hit the check? And the boys aren’t the only ones who enjoy that smile, we arc all sure we enjoy lunch more because she is there. GWENDOLYN REEDER An aloof lily of the field is our Guennie. But. unlike the lily,” she toils and spins, making friends and getting the fun out of life. MARY REGINA Pretty, mischief-making Mary. One of our best teasers and also one of our most loyal friends: those blue eyes tell many a talc we wouldn't otherwise know. LIBBIE REIBMAN Aren’t basketball and heaven synonymous for you. Libbic. old dear? We like your pretty, curly hair and your breezy, sporty good companionship. EDNA RHOADS It has always been a marvel to us that Edna is never tardy. She has to travel so far and yet manages to reach school before the majority of her classmates. Edna is a very quiet girl and has won a place in our hearts by her friendly nature. It is hard to separate ourselves from such a true friend, and all we can do is to wish that she may continue happy and contented in the future. MARTHA RICE We must give Martha the blue ribbon for attendance. Whether the sun shone or the rain fell in torrents Martha came steadily on to Easton High all the way from Ricgclsvillc. She came well prepared too. and gained a host of friends in her Easton classmates. ELVA RITTER So seldom we find a girl like her—one who means just what she says and always sticks to it. Her disposition is the nicest thing about her. She fairly radiates sunshine. May she always be happy as she is now. MARTHA ROHN The sweetest noise on earth, a woman s tongue: a string which hath no discord.” Was the poet thinking of our Adorable Martha? We believe he could have thought of no other and still have been so inspired. But that sweet voice can be firm, and she can be given much responsibility and trust, else why should she have been trusted to care for all those precious gowns for our play? FLORENCE ROTH If you don’t know Florence, it is your own loss, for she is always the best kind of a friend and a good sport. Sincerity is the keynote of her character, sincerity in her friendship and in all her undertakings. MARION RUTH Marion has the honor of being one of the most brilliant members of our class. She is the real star of the Virgil class. ELLEN RUTHERFORD So quiet that we hardly know she is around. However. Ellen is a very friendly little person, highly esteemed by her many schoolmates and also her teachers. MARY SCHAN Mary is gay. lithesome and full of life. However, her earnest effort and industry all through her four years shows that she will be a success in the future. By the way, Mary, how’s John? MARY SCHETTINO Always smiling and ready for a good time. But Mary is also a good student and excels in Spanish. If you want help go to Maria and you will be given it gladly. Page 86 GLADYS SEIFFERT Here is a girl of the happy-go-lucky type. She has an cvcrrcady smile and lessons arc pushed in the background when a good time can be had. Her host of friends value her friend- ship highly. LORRAINE SEIFFERT At first glance one might think this maiden shy and demure about her work. Those who know her real self, esteem her highly. She has been successful in her work and we feel that she will be equally successful in life. PAULINE SHANKWEILER Pauline is one of the petite’ 'members of our class and an excellent student as all her teachers will avow. However, her lessons have not interfered with her good times. We can always tell Pauline by her elfish giggle. JANE SHULL This auburn-haired lass found a place in our hearts early in High School life. Her laughter, keen talk and jovial disposition arc the envy of all. Jane is one of the most obliging and unassuming members of our class. GLADYS SHUPE More sunny smiles and jokes! Who has ever seen Gladys when she is not smiling? Gladys sees that every function she attends is peppy and full of snap. ELLA SINCLAIR Ella is so quiet and reserved that we hardly know her. We like, however, her curly hair and dreamy expression. She is a successful student, and every inch a lady. RUTH SMITH All kinds of pep. sweet personality, full of rascality—that is Ruth. We wonder also whether her beau from Bethlehem has the same characteristics. CAROLYN SPROUL Carry, during her years of high school was very quiet and modest, but better acquaintances proves her to be just the opposite, full of fun and laughter. FREDDAH STANDFIELD She looks rather meek and mild when one first glances at this fair maiden, but take another look and you will immediately notice the mischicvious twinkle of her eye and the unmistakable giggle about to burst forth in irrcsistablc ripples. Her delight is talking, and we don’t blame her, as she has very interesting subjects of conversation. MINNIE STOCKER If anyone is in need of an honest and good friend Minnie is one. Minnie is a friend to everyone and everyone, in turn, a friend of hers. May she always be the same, changing nothing but her name. GRACE STORM Her nature does not agree with her name, for Grace is not a bit stormy. Rather, she is gentle, fun-loving, but firm of manner, and can usually be found somewhere around school with Ethel. Grace is fond of good times and knows how to enjoy them. 9 OLGA STOTZ Olga is a student of the first rank. She proved her acting ability as Kate in the Senior play, and brought honor to herself by her activities in different lines. Olga possessed a lovable nature and a dimpled smile which we can never forget. SARAH STOUT Why worry about the men, says she—sour grapes? Perhaps blonds prefer the gentlemen. Sarah. So never let that worry you. Sarah has so many more interests than mere men. we know she enjoys her life a great deal. DOROTHY STREEPY Dorothy has been one of the quiet girls of our class, but her sweet smile and sunny dispo- sition has attracted a host of friends. She has the mildest manners and the gentlest heart.” M1DRED TERHUNE Mildred is one of the tallest girls of our class. We are always aware of her presence, not from her height alone, but from the melodious sound of her voice also. She is well known for her friendliness and good disposition and ability to accomplish any task well. “A daughter of the Gods, divinely tall. And most divinely fair.” Page 87 ELLEN THOMASON ’ Sheriff” is an all around good sport with a personality that attracts some people and is unusual. She has a cheery word for everyone. Sheriff” is full of fun and delights in play- ing tricks on her friends. Wherever you find her you will find a good time. Does she love her teachers ? FREDERICA UHLER Here’s the miss who captivates everyone with her charming ways. Never excited, always happy, she has made friends everywhere. But Fritzie is also very mischievous and in for any fun that comes along. LOUISE VEIT Here is a dark-eyed girl fond of two very different things: basketball and mathematics. She actually likes trig! Which is probably a sign she’ll get along in the world. ELIZABETH VINEBERG We hardly know Elizabeth, because she is so quiet and little. But when she is among her chums, one would scarcely recognize her. as she is very lively and quick witted. She is a jolly companion and never fails to produce laughter by her amusing conversation. After graduation. Elizabeth is sure to make a success in whatever future she may choose. SALLY WARD Sally has not been with us very long, but enough for us to know and like her. and enjoy that cvcr-ready wit. She has worked hard and faithfully in school activities, and we like her willingness. IRENE WEEDEN One of our commercial honor students, always ready to give a helping hand. Her blue eyes and curly hair we all admire. She is capable and pleasant, and we can imagine her at Washington a private secretary to some Senator. ELIZABETH WEISS Sunshine and happiness arc personified in Elizabeth. She certainly has an over-abundance of both. Her studies arc not neglected either, and she is one of the most popular girls in our class. EMILY WETMORE Emily is one of the studious girls of our class. Quality and not quantity” n’est ce pas? For Emily is one of the wee ones of the class of 27. She possesses an unusual amount of brains and is willing to use them too. LOUISE WITMER Know. then, this truth (enough for man to know). Virtue alone is happiness below”— so speaks the wise old poet, and Louise surely must have listened, for she has never had an eighth period study hall all her four years in high school. HELEN WOODRING One of the reasons why gentlemen love the ladies.” Helen’s sunny smile and even dis- position are the envy of all of us. Although quiet, she is none the less friendly, and we would have a hard time finding a sweeter girl than she. Docs her family think the same? For once, we are sure. ELIZABETH WYSOR Elizabeth's quiet and unassuming nature has made her generally well liked. She enjoys a good joke as much as the rest of us. She is a good student and an earnest worker. IRENE YERGER For four years Irene has charmed us with her wonderful playing and has been the mainstay of our school orchestra. She is an all around good friend and very popular. MARGARET YOTTER Here's to Margaret, last but not least. Margaret has been a shining light of the class of ’27 since she entered the portals of Easton High four years ago. She possesses great ability as a poetess and gives promise of future fame in that art. ELLEN WHITE Ellen is one of the most popular girls of the class, always in a good humor and happy. She has been faithful in her studies, loves to play basketball. HELEN MCLEAN WILSON Here is our impulsive, lively, loveable Willie.” We missed her when she was away at Northficld nearly two years. Helen is an all-around good sport, works conscientiously, and is always ready for a good time. Page 88 JOHN AICHER First of all our seniors, and no one can tell you better how dreadful it is to go through four years of high school classes beginning with A. and being the first name upon which the teacher's eye falls. But John has withstood that, and has kept his good disposition. CARL ALLEN Here we arc boys, the president of the Usher’s Club. If you want to be ushered any place, even at a prizefight, call up Carl and he'll be there to serve you. Don't forget E. H. S.. Carl. JOHN ALTEMUS If perseverance overcomes everything. John is sure to succeed. A more reliable and steadier fellow than Ike would be hard to find. LESLIE ANDREWS Leslie is one of the tall boys in our class. He's quiet, unassuming manners have won him many friends. Miss Greider wishes he would use it in the library. He is an earnest student and very faithful in his work, as a rule. RAY ARNOLD Behold the president of the senior class and one of the school's star athletes. It is hard to say in just what Ray excels for he is successful in all he attempts. Ray is always smiling, although sometimes he wears a most innocent expression. Then beware—for he is up to some mischief again. CHESTER AYRES What will you have, pills, perfume, or pretz.cls”? For we assume that Chet” will have all these things in his drug store, and coupled with his happy-go-lucky disposition, ever-present smile, and ready humor, we are sure he will be Easton’s leading druggist in 193?. WESLEY BENDER Hail! The hero of Captain Crossboncs” and how he did make hearts flutter as he sang his way through various Operettas. We can still sec him dressed as the villainous pirate. We hear Wes” is going to form his own opera company. With his voice, personality, and wit. there’s no doubt about his success. SOL” BERGSTEIN The clown of the Senior class. We’re certain that Barnum and Bailey missed something valuable here for what could be funnier than one of our Sol’s famous wise cracks. JAMES BETTS Our Hero!” Whom everyone (of the opposite sex) stops to admire. Jim” is quite an interesting person and we all enjoy his witty remarks and fun-loving personality. Oh. Doctor!” will be the general cry when James is a successful physician. WILBUR BISBING Wilbur is one of the world's most quiet of boys. He rarely talks, but when he docs, he always says something worthwhile. He has a fine sense of humor too. and whenever you sec his eyes beginning to twinkle, you can be sure Biz” just thought of something funny, but he’ll seldom tell you what it is. JACK BRETT You arc now gazing at one of the champion mischief-makers of the class. Jack can think up more funny things to do. and tell more jokes, than any boy we know of. He told us he opened his Latin book once, but found out later it was just to see the pictures. He’s quite the ladies' man too. but no wonder, the way he can dance. FRANK BRINK Adonis is losing out since American youths have grown up. and Frank is one of the hand- some tall ones who surely makes him look to his laurels. Going to rival Doug Fairbanks? We wonder. WILLIAM O. BROWN Another of these mathematically inclined fellows is to be considered. William is an earnest worker and we hope he succeeds. We know he'd be a good engineer. JACK BURROUGHS Howdy Jack! Here is the countenance of one of our ' Big Game Hunters.” Although Jack has never been to Africa still he can boast of quite a number of squirrels and rabbits being victims of his germ. However, he is a good all around sportsman and friend and is extremely popular. Page S9 THOMAS CARR Tom is a regular Beau Brummcl. with his curly hair and capti%'ating manner, but he seems to scorn all admirers. However, he does love green which, perchance, denotes his ancestry. He possesses a ready wit which has won for him a great many friends. PETER COLLINS You now have before you Capt. Collins. Row 1. Table 6. Cafeteria Period 2, E. H. S.. 1927. Peter has a smile that never fails and a disposition which brings sunshine any cloudy day. He is quite a successful athlete and will probably gain a place in the Hall of Fame. FREDERICK CONINE We recognize “Fred” best by his noise. He can be heard calling. “Double in the front row.” most any night in the week. “Fred” is much interested in basketball, and some day he will be taking Coach Duffy’s place. STANTON COOKE “This is Greek to me.” says this tall, slender young man. as he ruefully surveys his assign- ments. be they French or Math. Well. Stanton, here’s hoping it won’t always be. In fact, we know “Stan” just naturally gets there. ERWIN CORRELL Here is one of our Handsome Shicks of Easton High. All joking aside. Erwin is a good sport, plays football, and is well liked by many—especially the girls. He bids fair to become a successful business man. and we wish him. and the fortunate one luck, for Erwin won’t be a bachelor. WILLIAM CRAIG We do not know what to say about William, because we have not heard much about him. He is quiet around school, but has gained many friends. William has the excellent quality of fine manners and we arc sure they will help him to make a success. WILLIAM DAUB Some fellows start their high school career quietly and end it with a bang! So it is with “Bill.” “Bill” has shown the sterling qualities of a real man and has indicated his natural enthusiasm and loyalty in everything he has done. SAMUEL DeLABAR Every year Ricgclsvillc sends its representative to Easton High, and this year being no exception, we find Sam making the trip daily in his Ford, after a bit of knowledge. Sam is a good sport and we almost forgot to say that he is also the Shiek of Ricgelsville. JOSEPH DONNELLY Joe is the radio bug of Easton High. It is very seldom that Joe misses a radio meeting and his cheerful presence is always welcome. We wonder what Joe’s ambition may be. and with all possibility, he may some day be at the head of the R. C. A. RIED DORSHIMER Despite his attentions to the fair sex. Reid has found time to learn much. May your good humor never forsake you. and work never oppress. OSCAR J. DULL Oscar is our typewriting champion and some day his typewriting speed will win him “George Hossfclt’s” place. He has many friends among the opposite sex as well as among his own sex, the girls adore that hair comb, and we know Oscar will soon get a job as artist’s model for the new labels on Sta-comb.” OSCAR EICHLIN Distance and bad weather have not daunted Oscar in his pursuit of elusive knowledge. With such patience and optimism, even greater goals may be attained. DAVID FEINBERG Here is one of the original seniors—particularly in Miss Cline’s English Class. Dave can rattle off more candid remarks per minute than most of us can. And for good nature. Dave is right there. JAMES ELLIOTT One of our promising commercial course students, who will get ahead one of these days. Perhaps he won’t start as the President, and we know he won’t start as the office boy. but we arc sure he will be a big man in every way. Page 90 JOEL FEIT Joel is a boy who is very quiet but thinks a lot. He is liked by many. He is very ambi- tious. and we wish he may gain what he most desires. Brains aren't always the lot of man. Joel, you arc blessed. LESTER FERN A boy of few words is Lester. He has many friends here at school and we know he’ll always have. He has ability to work and we hope he will find the work he likes, for then we know he will put his best efforts into it. OSCAR FISCHER We're just sure that Oscar is going to be an English Professor five years from now. He is a very good English student and has original ideas. Then again he may be a football star. As tackle he contributed much towards the Varsity Team. So you see Oscar is an all-round boy. and truly one of the live wires of our class. WILLIAM FISHER We wonder why Bill so often has that far-away, pensive look. Maybe it wouldn’t be hard to guess. When he isn’t in this mood, he plays football and also the clarinet. He is the kind of a boy that makes friends easily and remains a true friend forever. We hope he may gain his longed-for desire and that they may live happily ever after!” JOHN FOX Rich man. poor man. beggar man. thief, doctor, lawyer”—you know how the story goes—doctor or lawyer, which will it be? With his mind (which he never overworks). John could be just whatever he decided to: so we all wonder which he will decide upon. We know he won't drift along and let fate decide as some boys with less character might—for he knows what he wants, and always gets it. Ask him. We hear. too. he’s quite Keen about the women. FREDERICK FUNK Fred’s all-around’' in more than one sense of the word. He's a good fellow even if he does want to be a chemist. CHARLES GLENAR Here’s the fellow that makes all the noise in the band. We don’t know what his inten- tions are but whatever they may be we say. Go ahead. Charles.” VINCENT GREEN Thanks to Vincent, we arc all comfortably seated in the cafeteria. He is exceedingly studious and full of fun. and good at business too. Ask Tony. HERMAN HAHN Perhaps we don't all know ’ Herm. but those of us who do. think him a good friend. Yes. he plays in the band. RALPH HARLAN School days always seemed very slow to Ralph—he agreed with the boy who said. The thing he liked about school was week-ends and vacations. But now that they arc nearly over we believe he will change his mind like the rest and wish he could come back next year. EDWARD HART If it’s about radio. I know it.” That’s the kind of fellow Ed is. We expect to hear from him in the future. CHARLES HARTLEY Books—pals—fun—girls (not many)—laughter—and perhaps lessons and teachers if grim necessity demands their short consideration. This pictures high school to Charles. Four years about over, is he glad to leave us? How can you tell?” CLAUDE HAUPT Claude is usually in mischief but we like him for it. He's a good fellow with the fellows. More than that we can’t say. but we can guess. FRANK HAUPT Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you. Frank never does. He goes on his way, smiling and jolly, never worrying about lessons and always up to some mischief. How- ever, we like him just the same. LEWIS HAWK Lewis deserves a great deal more credit than he gets, and he does it willingly and well. Page 91 He knows how to handle the stage PAUL HAWK behold! the shiek of the class of '27. Paul has taken part in many activities and is a prominent member of the band and orchestra. When it comes to chccrleading “Hawkie” can outdo them all. HERBERT HAY One never knows what Herb is thinking about, and consequently we can’t say anything against him. Those of us who know him like him. ROBERT HELMS For two years Bob has enjoyed E. H. S. life and has made himself well liked. He proved his athletic ability in senior class football, and displayed true Easton High spirit. However, according to the proverb. Study weakens the brain. Bob must have a strong mind. KARL HILDEBRAND Karl is just another peace-loving student. He is popular among his friends and we don't know any of his enemies. He never overworks we arc told. WILLIAM HODGE Bill is a good sport which warrants his position as sports editor of the Junto. His popularity does not stop with the boys. ORVILLE HOUCK “Life will be lengthened while growing, for Thought is the measure of life. He only speaks when he has something worth while saying, but he does many things, and docs them all well. So we know he is a thinker and doer rather than a talker. WAYNE HURLBUT The radio claims another victim. Ask his family and friends if you don't believe us. DAVID ISAACSOHN Dave is one of our most illustrious orators. We will remember, him not for his silvery tongue alone, however, but for his everlasting good humor and cheerfulness. HAROLD JOHNSON Harold has made his presence strongly felt during his four years with us. He is a most industrious student, and a mightly good friend. FRANCIS JONES Francis, contrary to his name, is not an ordinary fellow. Indeed, it is his individuality which attracts us so. A hard worker and a good sport, that is Francis. HAROLD KING This handsome, composed fellow is seldom heard from, but what arc mere words? Under other standards. Harold's worth is soon revealed. WILLIAM KNAPP Fellows may come and go. but there will only be one Bill” Knapp. He is small in stature, but this fact is overbalanced by his ability to give the hot air.” Good luck to you. Bill. PAUL KRESSLER Never, never worry, and he doesn't. Which, together with his agreeable disposition and well-known grin, makes Paul such a sociable and well-liked fellow. JOSEPH KUEBLER Joe is one of our most popular students. He has been active along many lines, and has proven himself an excellent scholar. Modesty, is his greatest characteristic. He and Tony are the long and short of the Rechauffe business. JEREMIAH KUT2LER Yes, Jerry is the source of that overwhelming flood of words. As a writer and humorist, he excels. Jerry also has quite a lot of dramatic ability. TONY LABATE The untiring business manager of this year’s book is equally proficient along other lines. He has always been a scholastic leader excelling in Mathematics. His success at Lafayette is assured. Page 92 JAMES LAMB The numerous offices which Jim has held but serve to show our high regard for him. To know him is to like and admire him. which accounts for his leadership in our class affairs. NATHAN LIPSCHITZ Quiet and unassuming by nature. Nate” is a hard worker and a real friend. He is uniformly good-humored, which means much. JAMES L1PSETT Although entering our ranks but recently. Jim has quickly won his deserved place amongst us. His personality is seemingly irrcstible. as many girls will testify. Teachers alone dare tell him the truth. RICHARD LONG This tall, curly-haired fellow is a good scholar, commercial subjects falling easily before him. But a good scout for all he is in spite of his ability. EDWARD LUCEY Small in stature, but great in ability and accomplishments, is our Edward. Peanut is exeremely well known and liked, and deserves his popularity. Wit is his in abundance. FRANK MCCLUSKEY Many, many girls have been captivated by Frank's charming personality. Active in all school affairs. Frank has made his school career a success, socially, if not at the head of the honor roll list. THOMAS MCNICHOLAS For he is a jolly good fellow. Tom is always in on the fun. but also knows his stuff, commercially, so as to speak, which is indeed a nice balance. CLARENCE MATTHEWS Deeply interested in all things pertaining to Commercial Dramatics. His chief occupation seems to be that of radiating sunshine. The sun is envious. KARL MAYER This young man gives a clam a good race for silence. But he certainly has Ptolmcy stopped when it comes to solving difficult Math, problems. RALPH MAUL Ralph may possibly look serious, but he can’t fool us. He is full of mischief, and pos- sibly uses his sober expression to cover some new prank. We all like Ralph and hope he likes us. JOSEPH MAYROSH Hey. where did you get those eyes. It is true that good things come in small packages and Joe is quite proficient in Football. Basketball and Baseball. MAXIE MAZZA Nurmi has nothing on this track star. He evidently believes that silence is golden and that effort expended in the mastering of commercial subjects is not wasted. PATSY MAZZA Behold the captain of the Football team, the best athlete in school, for wasn't he awarded the Biesel Cup? The first student to win such an honor. ROBERT MEEKER The hero of the Senior Play is an ardent supporter of the basketball team. In spare moments Bob is very fond of tickling a drum head and you hear him every other Thursday here at assembly. LESTER MF.IXSELL We introduce the Track Manager, and incidentally, the chief greaser in Auto Mechanics: but in spite of that handicap, he is immensely popular. LAWRENCE MILLER A big name for so small a boy. but Lawrence's stature docs not affect him in the least. He always has the most serious look on his face and then suddenly he bursts into smiles. We have never been able to discover when he's thinking of some old joke or beginning a new one. FRED MULLER Between Rciglcsville. a violin and the flivver, this prominent member of the orchestra is quite busy but with it all, Fred is very popular with his fellow students. Page 93 WALTER NANGEL When Walt entered High School, we had to look hard to find him. He has grown slightly and is now seen with less difficulty, thanks to a pair of long pants. ROBERT NOLL Another one of those boys who are seen but rarely heard. However, he is always present when report cards, that arc pleasing to the eye, arc handed out. WILLIAM OSTROFF At last, the would-be patent medicine barger! Bill is a sure gloom chaser and a good student. JOHN OTT Arrived from the wilderness of College Hill, one light-haired young man with quite an amiable disposition and cheery greeting for every one. STUART PICKEL One of the “57” Varieties, which is far from sour. However, at the right time he tells us jokes and it isn't necessary to tell us when to laugh. ABRAHAM PINSKEY ”1 never saw a real antique. I never hope to see one, but I can tell you. so to speak,. I d rather see. than be one.” BURRILL PORTER Porter’s right there. Always on hand when needed to help entertain or help run any- thing. he is quite necessary to his friends. RUSSELL PURDY Did you ever notice that rather serious looking chap who wears glasses and is always in the company of a certain Senior? That’s Ducklc.” He is very popular with the student body and is an all-round athclete. He was President of our class for two years and has held other numerous offices. HENRY QUIG We here introduce the handsome manager of our football team. Henry must like athletics because he goes out for track, basketball and baseball and has contributed a great deal to Easton High in each sport. He is also fond of motors. He expects to enter Penn State and we know he will always be a credit to Easton High. JOHN RAESLY John seems to be everywhere at the same time. We can never quite follow him. His witticisms have gained him popularity and his jovial nature has secured him many friends. John prefers to burn motor rather than midnight oil. Because of his winning qualities we expect much from this lad after his graduation. ARNOLD RALPH Arnold is the Peter Pan of our class. He is one of the few masculine members of the French Club which proves he is brave despite his size. The sax is also on friendly terms with Arnold and they have often worked together in making the school dances successful. One of Arnold’s failings is falling asleep in class, but after graduation this habit will be dropped, we hope. Then his other valuable traits will be sure to develop. JOSEPH RALPH Add to Joe’s jovial disposition his sincere sterling character, and you have the formula for making and keeping friends. The only thing against him is the fact that he has power over women. Well, we’ll forgive you Joe, but be sure to pick the right one. EDWIN REISS Edwin is a steady worker and succeeds in everything he attempts. He is quiet and laconic in his replies. He must be a firm believer of “still water runs deep.” However, most of us admire this quality and search for this kind of people for our lasting friends. IRA REX Here is the fighting center of our football team. In fact, he fought so hard that he put his leg out of commission. But that won him much sympathy, some of which he certainly did not dislike. We all remember him as one of the butler’s in the laugh-producing trio of “The Fire Prince.” ARTHUR RICE Arthur is a quiet lad. He must believe that “music speaks louder than words.” because he plays the violin excellently. He also is faithful to his lessons which speaks well for any boy. His host of friends admires him for his constancy and sincerity. Page 9 , WILLIAM ROOKER Bill is one of the quiet members of our class. However, he is always in for fun and for a good time. Bill is one of those persons who does not let dull care worry him. His unfailing good nature will always make him remembered. BLISS SARGHANT For several years Bliss has been one of the main assets of our orchestra. He surely docs handle a wicked bow: he is an unassuming, happy, carefree fellow. Has mathematics had any effect on Bliss? EARL SCHAEFFER Here is the Math, wizard. He is also a whiz at History. His one failing is his bashful- ness and self-consciousness. Why not overcome it, Earl? The girls won’t bite you. However. Earl is very popular with the fellows and has gained many friendships by his winning per- sonality. We hope he will be more approachable to the fair sex in the future. ANDREW SCHEETZ Andy, the blond from South Side: whenever women are around him you can sec him doing his stuff. Andy is quite a student sometimes (??) but do those times come frequently? MORRIS SCHNITZER Who doesn't remember the big. strong, expressman of the Senior Play? However, this is not the career which our illustrious classmate will follow. At least we hope not. Morris is a good student and is well liked because of his good humor and jolly disposition. HENRY SCHULTZ Henry’s genial, good humor, loyalty and work make him one of the many boys old Easton High is proud of. May he ever be successful and happy. PAUL SCHULTZ Paul is the type of fellow who is bound to succeed. He has well learned the old adage— All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. for he knows how to play indeed well, and still he manages to be a bright boy. ALBERT SHER After trying all fall to extract yells from the stands. A1 still had enough voice left to take a part in the Senior Play, and do it well. too. We all like Albert because he is so good-natured and courteous. He is popular with both teachers and students, which cannot be said of many. As a dancer, he has no superior. With his talent and ambition. Albert is an all-round fine fellow. GEORGE SHIRER Women are necessary to George's happiness. He likes them all—that’s part of the trouble. The rest of it is they all like him. Valentino, look to your correspondence. If George ever gets in the movies you will no longer be bothered by females clamoring for your picture. (What's the dope.) PAUL SHIVE Paul is a mischievous fellow and is in for all the fun. His jolly disposition has earned him numerous friends and his high school life has been a huge success. He is one of the genius of the Physics class and it is seldom he docs not have an excellent paper. To hear him in German class, one would think he had been born at Berlin. PAUL SIEGFRIED His smile is just as much in evidence when things are wrong, as when they arc right. This is the kind of optimism that can’t be beat, which, coupled with his many other attributes, will go far in making him attain success. HERBERT SILVERMAN Credit is due to Herb, not only for his athletic abilities, but also as a student. Herb, at times, was up against it and only after hard work and that never-die spirit was he able to overcome his many obstacles that crossed the path. Here's good luck to you. Herb, be sure to show the same spirit at college! THEODORE SLAGER Ted” is quite the rage with the ladies. He claims its his lovely disposition, but we think its them nice hair and eyes.” Now even though Ted is a young Romeo, he is a regular fellow, as you all know. (When do we cat?) Page 95 RICHARD SNYDER Yes, Dick is small but he is mighty. This is proved by his scholastic accomplishments. Dick has really grown in four years, so large in fact that he wears long trousers. Dick's secret to fame comes through his friendly disposition and his ability to blulT through all circumstances. PERCY STARKEY We now have among us a self-made druggist. Without any doubt he shall some day be the leading druggist in Easton. Percy is good natured and has made numerous friends. He can readily be distinguished from all the members of High School by two features.—his good looks and his lumber jacket. WILLIAM STEELE We wish to present to our readers a real he-man. A man whose voice challenges the roar of a lion. Although Bill is a woman hater and has a gruff voice, nevertheless, he has made many friends and is well liked by scholars and teachers. Through his high school years Bill has kept plugging and doing his level best, and deserves credit for it. PRANKL1N STORM In our four years together Franklin hasn’t talked much, probably because he is a bashful young man. Franklin docs his work faithfully and always docs it well, and because of this and his shy smiles, he has won his way to success and popularity. WILLIAM TITUS Dear reader, before going further into this article, glance at the name mentioned above. It is William himself! But let us look backward a few years and we sec William seated among his toys. He’s not so big now, but he certainly knows how to play with the toys! HAROLD TODD Harold has a mischievous air about him and for this reason we cannot help liking him. He has attained not only scholastic success but also athletic. He was the only senior to be placed in the inner class track meet, and we sure owe him merited thanks for holding up our honor. Does Harold know his economics? JOSEPH TOMAINE Here, here! What do we have before us? Why the good ole policeman himself. Remember him running around the halls like a maniac? Well, he was only illustrating to us that it was wrong to do that. (Sixty days!) HAROLD TRANSUE Yeast was undoubtedly an infant prodigy. The toys of an ordinary child appealed not at all. He is an ardent advocate of the idea that five minutes’ sleep at ten minutes past eight is better than a hearty breakfast. As a result. Harold hasn't eaten breakfast in four years. KENNETH TRAUGER Ken is another firm believer in the old saying Silence is Golden.” and lives up to this as his policy. However, because of his friendliness and smile. Ken has made many friends. Ken is a determined fellow and he accomplishes whatever he tries. WILLIAM TROXELL Pause here and observe the pride of Easton High, the proud possessor of an angelic face which is a true mirror of his emotions. Yes. William is the bee’s knees with the fair sex. but even better with the Gang. (Well I’ll be hanged!) JOHN VAN KIRK Seats on the side!” John is quiet and unassuming which accounts for his wide popu- larity. In addition. John is quite successful in his quest of knowledge. WILLIAM VIVIEN One of the few who have taken their work seriously. Bill” never shirks duties and he stands out above many of his classmates. He also can enter into good times with his many friends. EDWARD WALTERS The class nuisance, always amusing others and distracting attention from work. Ed never takes lessons seriously and his ready smile is well known. His chief hobby is chewing gum in English class. ROY WALTERS We don’t sec much of Roy. However, what we can sec is enough to make us want to sec more. Come out of the shell. Roy. Page 96 GEORGE WEITZMAN Our able assistant business manager of the Junto. We know he could do just as well as if not better than, if he had a more responsible position. ROBERT WEITZMAN We don't know much about Robert except this story. Do you recall that day last fall in Mr. Brot man's advisory when—but you’ll have to ask him—it's a pretty long one. JAMES WIGHAM Can this boy handle women? Try him and see. We know lots of people who arc good friends, good sports, and good pals, but here is one boy who is capable of being his friends' best friend. And did you ever see Jim dance? If not. you’ve missed something. RAY WILLAUER Ray is an industrious worker, doing much for the success of the Junto. He is a good student and a jolly companion, always causing laughter by his witty remarks. JACK WILLIAMS And broken hearts—he just scatters them right and left. But Jack can be serious, as evident by his capability as manager of the Senior Play. DOUGLASS WOODRING Hail the champion! Champion what? Oh. champion talker! However, Doug has many friends and is quite a successful student. ‘'Never be serious” seems to be the motto which he follows—except when acting as stage manager of the play! KENNETH WORMAN Behold! The leader of our 1927 Baseball squad. Ken is one of the most popular mem- bers of our class, and it is evident that he has a bright future. Lucky. Ken. PAUL WRIGHT A fellow small of stature, but mighty of brains. Paul has been a good worker for the school as his accomplishments on the Junto Staff prove. We missed Paul greatly during his absence in our Junior Year, and we gladly welcomed him back. JOHN YAHRAES Bold of your worthiness, we single you As our best-moving fair solicitor.” Our solicitor”—student council president— The power behind the throne”—and many other things we could say. But he is to most of us, the imp incarnate (such as only Booth Tarkington knows how to create in Penrod), the regular American boy. Good company, a good student, beloved by all his classmates and teachers—why must his high school days dose? GEORGE YANKOOS The bashful man who has eaten Webster’s dictionary and doesn't yet feel the effects one would ordinarily feel. But we do like intelligent people. ARTHUR ZORBAS Here is a boy who docs not like to study and is fond of play. However, in Spanish. Arthur has proved his ability to gain knowledge.

One easily recognized them as the heralds of the Princess because of their forms of jade, gold, and rose, jade plume waving jauntily above a hat of rose; rose velvet jacket held tight together by tiny heart- shaped gold buttons extending from the wide rose ruche to the bank of fur dyed jade on the bottom of the coat; tight rose velvet breeches that were met at the knees by high boots of gold with a bank of the same fur at the top. Ah, here was the Princess, coming down the wide marble stairs, walking rapidly and gazing neither to right nor to left. She literally sailed across the morning room and out into the garden. Not the kind of an entry you would expect from a princess! L.adies-in-wating. courtiers, mighty nobles, all bowing low as she passed, remarked to one another that the Princess Mavee was evidently in a bad humor about something. It could be seen by the impertinent toss of her short brown curls which refused to be held in place by the wee cap of rose stones joined with gold bands: by the flash of her blue eyes and the wiggling of their black lashes; by the swish of her rose taffeta skirt from which peeped its lining of gold; by the way two gold heels on two tiny slippers clicking angrily across the floor: finally, the manner in which Launcelot paraded majestically two steps behind his mistress, forgetting even to wag a fluffy tail at his two friends, the footmen. All knew better than to follow their beloved Princess to offer consolation, as it appeared that Mavee had experienced a rare occasion where she failed to do as she wished. Princess Mavee continued her naughty way until she reached a lovely shimmering pool in the center of the garden. There, seated at the edge of the pool, she told all her troubles to sympathetic little Launcelot. Did you hear them, Launcy? Did you? Trying to make me marry someone I do not know! Pigs, hateful conspirators, rheumatic old fuzzy- wizzies! I don't want to be married and I won’t marry just anyone they wish! I won't, won't, won't, sobbed poor Princess Mavee all over Launcy's glossy fur, while he tried to kiss away her tears in his little dog-like way. But crying was very undignified, and too. it makes one's nose red: so dip- ping a wee piece of rose and gold silk in the pool. Princess Mavee dabbed at her eyes a bit and felt better. She was soon admiring the familiar trees and flowers in this beautiful garden. Then the bright-colored birds claimed her attention. Dear birds, murmured Mavee. you don't have any worries nor troubles. If you do not like it one place you fly away to another.” “Why, Launcy. darling.” cried Mavee, so excited that she danced up and down, ' I know what we shall do. We’ll run away. It will have to be tonight. she continued, making plans as she spoke, for their horrid old prince is on his way here right now.” But Launcy was more interested in a bee humming around his nose, so Mavee entered the morning room again and walked in a very dignified but happy manner up to her suite. Once inside her boudoir she sent for Moquine. Moquinc was a lady-in- waiting to the Princess and used to her mischief. So when the Princess, very Page 100 much excited, told her to procure a page-boy’s suit, hat and cape, she thought it just another of Princess Mavee’s numerous, but harmless pranks. At one o’clock the next morning, a small boy, dressed as a page and hold- ing a bulky package under one arm, stole softly down into the royal garden from the stairs leading to the Princess’ suite. But a white tail, sticking out of the bottom of the cape solved the mystery of the “package.” The boy ran quickly cross the garden, around the rose bushes, and disap- peared in the shadows. When the two runaways reached a gate, Launcy was put on the ground to enable the leader of the expedition to squeeze through the bars. Launcy, fully awake now, gave vent to his feelings by a few short barks of joy, which caused the page to run at top speed down the road. But it was impossible to continue running so they slowed down to a hurried walk. The little boy with the bedraggled white dog walked for what seemed hours until they could scarcely make one foot follow the other. Coming to a huge, dark tavern they stopped for a second and poor Launcy dropped panting to the ground, totally exhausted. So, her weariness making her desperate, and trusting wholly to her dis- guise, Princess Mavee banged mournfully away on the big brass knocker on the tavern door. A light finally appeared, and the amazed innkeeper, not quite awake, opened the great door to admit a tired, dirty little boy dressed like the page’s at the castle on the hill, and carrying a dejected dog who was fast falling asleep. The “boy” humbly asked for a place to sleep. The innkeeper, lighting more candles, was about to angrily ask who this boy was, where he lived, and where he was going, when he looked again at the seemingly familiar dog. Where had be seen that dog before? In a carriage some where? But the candle also showed else—three fluffy brown curls came peeping from under the broad brim of the hat and the small white hand that hurriedly pushed them back dis- played a gold ring bearing the royal crest! “Great saints in heaven, help me! The Princess—it can’t be—it is but here—I—I,” stammered the poor old man. But he got no further, for the big hat was sorrowfully flung off, brown curls mingled with tears, and the Princess Mavee was sobbing as if her heart would break. “Oh, take me back! Why did I ever run away? I guess prin-princess can’t expect happiness!” Once more little Mavee forgot her dignity and position. But the innkeeper had left the room. When he returned he was accom- panied by a handsome but bewildered young man, who, it was explained, would escort Her Highness back to the castle. Princess Mavee. was much too unhappy to care about anything now. and so she was lead out into the tavern yard where servants, merrymen and soldiers seemed to have appeared as if by magic. The Princess, her escort, and, of course, Launcy, were soon in a beautiful carriage hurrying toward the castle. Once on their way. the Princess Mavee sank way back into her corner of the carriage, and froze into a most dignified silence. But she was thinking deeply and becoming crosscr every minute, “How could I have allowed this man, a total stranger, to witness this foolhardy idea of mine—to allow him to escort me back to the castle like a child! Why, he was actually smiling! The beast! but he did have lovely teeth,”—these were some of the thoughts racing through Mavee’s mind. Page 101 Their arrival at the castle, the excitement there, the memory of being almost carried to bed by frantic servants and ladies-in-waiting, all seemed out a bad dream to naughty Princess Mavee when she awoke the next morning. But as she reviewed the events of the night before while lying in her gold- colored bed with its canopy, pillows, and its coverlet of rose silk embroidered with gold and jade threads, the memory of a certain young stranger was a delightfully thrilling part of the nightmare. Again the heralds announced the coming of her Highness, the Princess Mavee to the Morning Room, but this time she had been summoned and fully expected a severe reprimanding. This time, however, much to Mavee’s surprise, the immense room was almost deserted. Only a few of the greatest nobles and highest officials were there, all standing around talking to- the stranger! “Princess, may I present Prince Zeda who has come from afar to ask for you hand.” These words came clearly through a sort of haze that Mavee felt herself to be in. Why wouldn’t her heart stop turning somersaults? Princess Mavee was again walking out into the garden. But so much happier—and not alone this time. Elizabeth DeLong. '27. Doors!!! DORS! Doors! Doors! Doors! What a peculiar subject for an essay! When the word “doors” appears in a story, the first thing you and everyone else thinks of. is the plain wooden door that you and I have in our homes. But I do not refer to this kind of a door. I mean a more important door. The door of your life and of mine, the door that leads either to success or to failure, the door that is difficult to open or the door that is easy to open. When a person is but a child, with no ideas of what is coming, he en- counters doors that are small and generally easy to open. But as he gets older and starts school he has many doors through which he must pass. The doors may be very difficult to open, but by trying and trying again, he can open them eventually. Some people have no trouble opening them and generally open them wide; but some, after much difficulty just manage to squeeze through a little opening. After he has gone through the doors of school and finally reaches the “Eve of Graduation,” as we, the members of the Class of 1927 have, he is bewildered with the many doors which he has to face. He is in a maize of doors, doubtful of which one to go through. Almost everyone of us will take a different door. Some will lead to higher education, others to offices, still others to factories and mills, and last of all. some few to the fateful door of failure. But there is one door we all try to go through, one door we cannot take a chance at and hope to find. That is the door of success. The biggest door of our lives is the simple, plain, old-fashioned door of success, and that is the door that leads to eternal happiness. So let us strive to go through our lives not merely squeezing through, but going through open doors to success and eternal happiness. Grace Cruickshank. 27. Page 102 Diary of a Bad Girl September 1st to 1 th---Started the month right and got as much out of the first six days as I could, cause I knew what was in store for me from then on. Couldn't understand why the cats howled so dismally and the dogs barked so plaintively, Labor Day night, but I soon found out. Mother and the alarm clock woke me at seven o'clock, and when I asked what the interruption was. I was told that I had to go back to the straight and narrow path again. Of course, I was delighted and ran all the way back to school, in spite of the heat. I was so anxious to get there. First couple days went as the first two days usually go. I almost got drowned—under the lessons they handed out. Cafe- teria didn’t change at all. Had the same Friday menu—fish and frankfurters. September 13th to 18th----Second week started with a bang! We had a resolution, elected John Yahraes president, and started a government of our own. We got ourselves in dutch, though, cause now we have to walk two abreast, and have cops of our own choosing parked at each corner. Had our first assembly this week and you’d have thought it was an auction sale. I sat in the front row but didn’t know why I was there until some one kindly informed me that somehow or other I had managed to become a dignified senior. Made a grand splash on Friday and ended the week in fine style. Missed a translation in Spanish, was late for Mr. Brotzman’s study hall, told Mr. Schaffer when he asked for an example of a pocket-vetoe. that it was like my Dad’s $5.00 gold piece, it always stayed in his pocket, forgot my gym suit, started a rumpus in English class, and got caught while trying to sneak out of Junto class. But 3 o’clock bell rang on Friday and all was well for two days. September 20th to 25th----Nothing doing the beginning of the week—it rained. Teachers were all out of sorts and took it out on the rest of us. Only sensible thing that was done the first couple days was me dropping Algebra. That subject always did rile me. Cleared up on Wednesday. I knew some- thing was going to happen and sure enough it did. Had to make a speech in assembly. Forgot it. right in the middle, too. But it was all right, cause everyone expected me to do that. I hated to disappoint them. Friday’s here again—so are the fish. September 27th to October 2nd----Nothing exciting happened at school. Its tame in this town. Went to the movies Monday night, played bridge Tuesday, saw the State Wednesday, saw the Strand Thursday, went to Nazareth Friday (very exciting ride—in the trolley car), witnessed a fight Saturday (it was supposed to be a football game). October 4th to 9th----Big explosion at school! News leaked out that there would be no Senior trip and the whole Senior class caught fire and went up in the air. Mr. Stone tried to quench them but they were pretty hot for a while, at least too hot to handle. Nothing else happened this week. October 11 th to 16th----The girls are rising to power at school. There’s been a debate going on all week as to which is the most powerful—man or woman, but we girls won. cause talking in similes or metaphores or whatever you call those things, John Yahraes said—taking it as a general example—that when he becomes President of the United States he will try to ship all the women out of the country and as fast as he shipped them out the other fellows will bring them back. October 18th to 23rd-----Hurrah! passed all my subjects for this marking period. Got 76 in Spanish: 76 in Economics: 76 in English, and 75 in English 5. Dad will be tickled to death. Big football game this week, cause all the boys arc staying home to get in shape. I don’t blame them. It ought to be a good fight, both during the game and after. Page 103 October 25th to 30th-------Forgot I was a senior and slid down the bannister and I met Mr. Douglass coming up—what I mean is, as I was going down the bannister, he was coming up the steps. I’d hate to give you any false impres- sions. I visited Mr. Stone privately a short while afterward and we became very close friends—no more bannisters for me. November 1st to 6th--------We won another football game last week, and since most of the squad were disabled, I celebrated for them. It resulted in disaster. In fact, my four pals almost had to sing, “God rest her bones.” November 8th to 13th-------Just managed to breathe a sigh of relief. I was sure the 13th was going to fall on a Friday. Had another interesting assembly. A Mr. somebody from somewhere else, presented us with the five keys to success but I lost mine already. November 15th to 20th--------1 can’t write much. Reported for varsity basket- ball and got too stiff. November 22nd to November 27th-----------Got a haircut after they took up a collection in school. Saw the Easton-P'burg game and ate too much turkey; went to New York and ate more turkey. November 29th to December 4th--------Practiced basketball hard all week. Still stiff. December 6th to 11 th------Football men had banquet last Saturday. We’re eating hash and turkey soup all week. We had our first snow storm and our first basketball game this week and it was awful—I’m talking about the snow storm. December 3th to 18th-------Had the big dance of the season last Saturday night. Every one strutted their stuff. Played Allentown on Friday, and as Coach Chalmers was saving the first team for the Wilson game, the third team had to play Allentown, and though they fought valiantly, they lost. (Please step outside if you mean to contradict that statement.) December 20th to January 1st---------Had a party in advisory and got a little Nigger” dollie as a gift. Couldn’t see the connection, but the rest of the kids seemed to. Had a peachy Christmas — snow and everything. Went sleigh- riding with “Beat” and “Ty.”’ but wore my sister’s coat so the neighbors wouldn’t recognize me. January 3rd to 30th--------January started as usual with New Year’s day. Went back to the old grind. Found everything O. K., study hall slips and all. Noth- ing exciting happened except that.we won all our games. January’s dull. Too many New Year’s resolutions havent’ worn off yet. February 1st to 5th--------Senior play is in full swing. I’m learning how to be dramatic. It’s very pathetic and brings tears to Miss Grieder’s eyes to see such a hopeless wreck. February 7th to 12th-------Corruption and Bigamy (I don’t mean bigamy, I mean fraud!). Exams are on. Phew! what narrow escapes! Nuff said on this week's program. February 14th to 28th-------We’re all . in bed from eating unripe cherries on Washington’s birthday. A couple are suffering from heart attack received on Valentine’s day. March 1st------Not much to write about. Everything in a hub-bub. Had our last game of basketball and the Senior play went off big. I put my bouquet of dandelions in alcohol to preserve them. Glory be! It smells like a hothouse around here. May 9th--------Bought a new pair of shoes in March to celebrate my overwhelm- ing success as the express lady in the Senior Play. (Dad bet $5.00 that I Page 104 couldn’t shout “whoa” loud enough to make the ice man’s mule stop—and I won, hence the new shoes.) Anyway, I got boy’s shoes, and as most things connected with boys, they behaved very badly and tripped me up, and as a result I missed a month in this diary. May 23rd to 31st--------May's a month of Spring finery. But as I went swim- ming in the river and not a spring. I got just a plain cold. Teachers are all getting prepared for the big celebration. Exams! We didn’t get our senior trip, but we took the three days off and came to school, for a change. June 1st to 13th--------I’m out! Call later! Too many exams. June 13t ? to 20th------Exams are over. At least I can say I didn’t cheat—I asked right out loud. June 20th to 25th-------Took me all week to send my invitations. I ought to get a lot of gifts. I'm getting to feel rather settled and dignified. It’s an odd feeling—one I never experienced before. June 27th to 29th-------My cap and gown arrived. I look like the monk in the “Canterbury Tales” in it. June 30th-------Well, it’s over. I’m going to hide that diploma so that they don’t find out they’ve made a mistake and come to take it back. The ceremony went off fine. I wasn’t a bit nervous, except that the tassel tickled my ear and there was a bump on my chair. And thank goodness! I didn't disgrace the family. I don’t think they saw me stumble up the steps, and I tried not to let them hear me sneeze. Everybody was crying. I wasn't, only that darn water pipe above me leaked and it dripped down my forehead. Well, that’s that, and tomorrow I can go swimming in the morning.

If there is such a person he should be labelled unusual, different, or eccentric, and placed on a shelf where the eyes of the ever curious world could gaze upon him with amazement and wonder. One must not necessarily be a book worm to enjoy books. My theory is that no matter how dry, how cheap or uninteresting a book may be, there is always something to be gained by reading it sometime. A normal reader is one who reads either to gain knowledge or to pass the time. A bookworm is the sort of person who puts on one stocking a chapter and battles with his grapefruit while his eyes rest upon the book propped against the sugar bowl. I have made it a habit to read every night directly before climbing into bed. At these times I like to read “Red Cap Tales,” “Ivanhoe,” and I can even be pacified by the “Saturday Evening Post.” In the mornings, if it is during vacation, I like to have hidden under the covers when mother looks in to tell me, “it’s time to get up,” “Treasure Island,” one of Sir Conan Doyle’s tales, or Macbeth’s bloody murder. You can readily see that evenings I crave the romances, and mornings I am blood-thirsty and adventurous. In the summer afternoons, when the arguments coming from the next door bridge parties disturb my thoughts. I choose Joseph Lincoln to carry me far out into the blossoming country where “diamonds trump, that last trick was mine.” does not bounce harshly on my car drums. Josephine La Barre. Page 107 Une Affaire de Coeur was adorable! From the topmost black curl to her little feet spiked heels, she was adorable! To Tommy she was everything his life. (Tommy didn't remember that he’d thought Joanne is everything in his life a week ago; also—before Joanne, the tie waitress at Childs.” He was blissfully unaware that girls who meant everything” to him were becoming—Oh—I can’t be so cruel as to say habit.” a frequent occurrence.) Lyn’s grey eyes smiled at him through the haze of the cigarette she was smoking with all the daring of her sixteen years. Tommy had thought she’d be afraid when he dared her to do it. he really hadn’t expected her to comply so readily. Tommy grinned sleepishly. He hadn’t been prepared for her to win. You’re a good sport, Lyn,” he said. I really didn’t think it was in you. You see I’d heard you say you thought smoking was obnoxious and to have seen you do away with that cigarette, one would have thought it a daily occur- rence with you. Lyn’s eyes blazed as she straightened up to her complete five foot three, Was that fair of you, Tommy?” “Come now Lyn, don’t start anything; didn't I just call you a little sport? I meant it too, honest I did.” Tommy was all sincerity now. Good sports never get angry either. He was pleased at the sweet laugh he had coaxed from her. “Shall we go, he said, the crowd will be waiting.” Wrapped in the soft grey fur of her coat, with the saucy little grey felt hat allowing the curls to bob about. Lyn looked like a pussy-willow bud just made for one to lie his cheek against. Tommy started his motor savagely: it had never been so hard to win a girl before. Here Lyn had kept him on the string for four days. Four days! What an eternity! His reckless driving had whipped roses into Lyn’s cheeks. Again he heard her low, pleased laugh, Oh, Tommy, you are so daring! Haven’t you ever hit anything?” Not for four years, how’s that for a record? Almost impossible,” said Lyn, you haven’t been driving for four years, you’re only eighteen. Eighteen,” Tommy sniffed scornfully, why I was eighteen when you still wore hair ribbons. Come now, Tommy, be a good sport too and own up; you know we are some kind of fourth cousins, and Aunt Sophia has you down pat. I was over there yesterday, and I know every baby trick you used to have. Tommy was glad he had to watch the traffic signals then. Lyn was quite disconcerting. They arrived at the tea room which was their regular rendezvous. He was surprised to notice Joanne was there also, there was a strange fellow. Who can he be?” thought Tommy. He was astonished to see the stranger rush to his side. He was ready to utter something about there being a mistake when he noticed Lyn shaking both his hands while pure joy sounded in every word she spoke. He made his way over to the crowd and looked at his pal, Bill. Been going together for four months now.” said Bill, you haven't a chance old boy. Page 108 Tommy slumped into a chair. Raising his head he gazed into the blue eyes of Joanne. “Hello Joanne, where have you been keeping yourself? “You might have noticed me,” she said petulantly, “if you hadn't been rushing Lyn all over town.” “Lyn, why she means nothing to me! Of course, she's a good little sport, but that's all. Tommy smiled his best at Joanne. “You’re not peeved, arc you. Joanne?” He hoped she wasn't. You sec. Joanne meant everything in life to Tommy.

Page 109 Storm in the North There’s a storm in the north tonight. And it’s muttering echoes the sea. The grumbling swell of the white-foamed surf. With its floods clutching greedily. Like the clawing fingers of a blinded thing. Grasping for something and never Finding that for which it seeks and Doomed to be thus forever. There's a storm in the air tonight. And the might of its wrath descends: The lightning rides on the wings of the Gale. And the calm of the gold moon ends Like a candle snuffed out by a stealthy hand. And the voice of the moving deep Roars louder. The lonely fisherman wakes With a start from his fitful sleep. For there's fear in the air tonight As the black wolf-pack of the skies Howls along—the teeth of the storm— And the lightning’s the gleam of their eyes! Gwendolyn Reeder, '27. The Best Way I walked with the beautiful Marcclinc At evening in scented clover. The nightingale song to the rose and moon. One sweet song, over and over. The nightingale sang and he sang. I know. ‘‘Tell her! Tell her you love her. I’d tell her so! 'Tell her you love her. it's easy to say. Right here in the scented clover”: So I told her the sweetest story there— I told it over and over. But at moonlight, music, and what I said. My beautiful Marcclinc shook her head. Next day I walked with the exquisite girl In the streets of the crowded city. She was daintily clad in silk and lace. She was gracious, wise and witty. I spoke of houses, of jewels and gold. Of lands to be bought and bonds to be sold. I showed her my bankbook then and there. And she whispered ''Really. Harry!” And Marcclinc. all shall be yours Whenever you choose to marry.” So on and everything, all was said. And the beautiful Marcclinc bowed her head. Moonlight and music and that sort of thing. Are rated as foolish and funny. If you're in earnest, your wooing to speed. Talk to a girl of your money. Tell her. I’m worth so and so. and then kiss.
