Graduation Gossip If a prize fpr the two persons who | resembled each other the closest had been offered, undoubtedly Marcella i and Mcllie Case, twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon B. Case. 603 Raub street, would have won It. Harry Gangwer. son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Gangwer. 623 Valley ; avenue, received a $500 violin of German make as a graduation pres- ; ent. He played two selections during j the commencement program. How- ever. he used an older and more valu- able violin of his instructor. Mrs. W. B. Plank, member of the board of education, was the first mother in the history of Easton High School and probably many other schools, to present her daughter with a diploma. She also presented the di- plomas to the other girls of the grad- uating class. Allen Carpenter, vice president of the school board, presented the diplo- mas to the boys because of his 23 years of service on the school board. For this reason he is known as the j dean of education in Easton. Charles Boyer, a member of the sen- ior class, was mentioned by Mr. Stone as never having missed a dav nor l elng tardy once during 12 years of school.

PAUL H. ADAMS Football, Band Paul is very fond of football, but that isn’t all that attracts our big he-man. EDWARD F. AI CHER “Ed” Penn State College Ed is just another in-between type, but we have found his one weakness to be aviation. He is always trying out the Easton Glider. EDWARD B. ARNDT “Ed” Swimming, Track Allentown Prep. Ed is one of those fellows who do not take anything seriously and allow the rest of the world to go by. He is liked by all and he's given ample proof that he’ll get what he wants. LEROY ASHENFELTER “Ash” We understand Leroy’s inter- ested in wood-working. We can only hope that he’ll carve success out of his life. GERALDINE ALBUS “Jerry” Class Basketball Wilfred Beauty Academy Good times and Jerry arc closely related. She believes in “Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone”. VIRGINIA C. ATKINSON “Ginny” Band, Girl Reserves Churchman’s Business College Have you ever seen Ginny driving a car? She may look nice as a pedestrian with those pretty curls, but as a motorist she looks better yet. HELEN M. BAHR “Honey” leaders’ Club, Girl Reserves Indiana State Teachers’ College The way Helen takes charge of the gym classes is a sure indica- tion that she has gym-teaching in mind, but maybe Ed won’t let her. ELSIE H. BAIRD “Els” Junto Staff Temple University Elsie is small, but clever. She is one of our blondest blonds with a real blondest blond’s white skin. DOROTHY E. BEATTY “Dot” Girl Reserves We’ll bet Dot was a rarin’, tearin' kid. We like the way she goes about getting things. 12 J. RUSSELL BAILEY “Russ” Mixed Glee Club, Band Rider College We haven’t heard much from Russ during his three years at Easton High, but we realize that someone has to do the listening. CHARLES A. BEALER “Ciiot Gym Team. Tennis Drexcl Institute If a cheerful smile on one’s face makes one a good usher, Chot is certain to be captain of the ushers at the Roxy Theater. FRANK A. BECHTEL “Hiney” Stroud. State Teachers’ College Frank is always in the midst of a crowd where humor is notice- able. Did you ever see him with- out a smile? JAMES A. BECHTEL “Jim” Football, Basketball Stroud. State Teachers’ College Jim has attempted to carry on the athletic ideals of his family. We think that he has succeeded. THOMAS M. BIBLEHEIMER “Tommy” Baseball, Glee Club University of Southern California Tommy is a quiet young fellow who dislikes the opposite sex. But he has found baseball his chief recreation. MABEL G. BEERS Leaders’ Club, Junto Staff In the class room Mabel’s rather quiet, but when Mabel is on the street!!! Oi, oi, Mabel. KATHRYN S. BIXLF.R “Kitty” Dramatic Club, Debating Club New Jersey College for Women You can't judge a person by his size. Just look at Kitty and then realize all she has accom- plished in three short years. ELISA BETI I BREDBENNER “Betti «” Tennis, Mixed Glee Club Saint Mary’s Convent Bettic rates highly with all, Especially with males—great and small. She likes to play tennis— Another blond menace— She’s neither so short nor so tall. GLADYS A. BREWER “Glady” Gladys is one of our blondes. She keeps on the top rather well in her classwork, too. Everyone who has come into contact with her likes her. VIRGINIA E. BRINKER “Gi.n.ny” Robert Packer Hospital We wonder what Virginia would do if all the Reeds suddenly van- ished. Take to the tall grasses, we suppose. !3 VINCENT R. BOSCO “Vince” Football Vince has not been in Easton High very long, but he certainly is well known. The boys like him—and the girls! How they fall for these he-men every time. CHARLES R. BOYER “Ciiot” Football If Chot were as good at study- ing as he is at riding a motorcycle, we’d have a wiz in our midst. RUSSELL SHAFER Anyone who knows him will tell you that Russ is rather lazy. He's the person who made beds out of school chairs. WILLIAM H. BRYANT “Bill” Football Cornell University Though Bill isn’t very fond of studies, he likes almost everything else—including girls. DONALD P. CAMPBELL “Don” Literary Club, Junto Staff University of Pennsylvania Our personality boy, budding genius, and faith-advocator. All these names and many more be- sides belong to him. What do you think? CATHERINE J. B ROD IE “Kitty” Mixed Glee Club Hogerstown Library School Kitty is always worrying her head over nothing. That’s not the way to keep young, Kitty. “And, by the way, can you lend me something?” DOROTHY R. BRYANT “Dotty” “Silence is golden” so they say. But when one hears Dotty speak in her charming voice, he feels that this proverb is overdone. VERNA E. BUCK “Billie” Mixed Glee Club We can’t imagine what Verna would do if the Easton Express went out of business. As a mat- ter of fact, what would all Easton do? ETHEL BUGEN “Et” Temple University Et is one of our commercial graduates. We know she will make good, because she has al- ways been an excellent typist. She has a fine personality for of- fice work. too. MARTHA M. BUGEN “Patty” Patty’s one of our fast workers in more ways than one. She has taken four years in three. We’ll leave the other ways to your imagination. � 4 CLIFFORD A. CASE “Cliff” Basketball, Track Oswego State College We all know Cliff because of his excellent work on the gym team. He also has other ways of making himself known. HOWARD A. CASSEDY “Petk” Basketball, Football Temple University If anyone ever saw Pete take anything seriously (even girls), they've seen more than we have. He seems to skim through every- thing—lessons included. But he surely is popular. CHARLES W. CHESTON “Buck” Hi-Y Two things distinguish Charles from the rest of us—his white hair and his walk. And neither can be imitated. BENJAMIN COHEN “Ben” Basketball Not many of us know Ben very well, but we hear that he is a good sport and a dandy companion. ALEX CORRIERE “Al” Gym Team, Tennis Lafayette College Alexander the Great—although rather small in stature—great in many ways, including athletics; and how about “Stop Thief? LUCY BURG IA “Lou” Churchman's Business College I.OU is one of the reasons why barbers go bankrupt and enjoy it; Her aim in life is to beguile a big business man into accepting her expert services, and this ought not be very hard. MARY ANN CAMBRONE Mira” Dramatic Club, Glee Club Churchman’s Business College Mary is one of these little sparkling brunettes, and everyone envies her lovely curly hair. DOROTHY G. CARTY “Dot” Here’s another industrious worker, And we can tell you she’s a corker. She’ll get success, And much happiness, W e re willing to bet you n porker. MARCELLA CASE “Twinny” Of course there has to be at least one set of twins in every class. Marcella happens to be one of a set. Although she is like her sister in many ways, she has a personality all her very own. MELLIE CASE “Twinny” Another of the twins. A class could not be complete without them. Mcllic is an unassuming young lady, and we find it hard to describe her much better than bv saying she is a charming person once one learns to know her. '5 CHARLES DARE “Chot” Chot came to Easton High in his Junior year, but we have come to know him well because of his indescribable laugh and his fond- ness for the opposite sex, South Side, and Luckys. PHILLIP DePIETRO “Curly” Basketball Phillip’s another of those boys from across the river. We hear he’s going into the fruit and vege- table line later on. PRANK J. ZETTLER “Zet” University of North Carolina We’ve heard from reliable sources That he does well in his courses. He docs what he can, An excellent draftsman, And makes the best of resources. ANTONIO D. DORIA “Tony” Wc can’t find out much about Tony. His ambitions seem to be kept very much to himself. EDWARD R. EALER “Ed” Basketball The only reason Ed comes to school is—you’ve guessed it— WOMEN. HELEN CLAUSE “Honey” Leaders’ Club, Girl Reserves Lankenau Hospital Blonde hair—brown eyes—a twin brother. These things make one interesting. DOROTHY B. CULVER “Dot” Leaders’ Club Beaver College Wc wonder if Dot will ever start growing. If “Cowboy” would grow as high as she can jump, she’d be just about the right size. EDNA G. DAVIS “Ed” Operetta, Spanish Club Penn State College Edna is very well liked by everyone. We don’t know wheth- er to credit her popularity to her flirty smile or to the eternal twinkle in her eyes. MARY DECK “Decry” Girl Reserves Lankenau Hospital Someone else interested in house- keeping, Wc know she’ll get through with- out weeping. Such eyes as she owns, Startle kings on their thrones, For such is the harvest she’s reap- ing. MARY R. DEI LEY “Polly” Delegate Assembly, Band Penn State College What a twinkling smile to possess, She’s got everyone on the guess. Her eyes glitter merrily. She treats no one terribly— We wish her the best of success. 16 JOHN C. ECKERT “Johnny” Penn State College Johnny is one of those people who arc neither backward nor outstanding, but he makes a good friend. JOHN H. FALLON “Jack” If eighth period slips were movie tickets, the movies would see Jack quite often, or vice versa. HARMOND A. FARR “Harm” Orchestra, Band University of Southern California Harm has been faithful to both Band and Orchestra, but that is not all that he has been faithful to. DOMINIC FIGLIO “Nick” Band Philadelphia College of Pharmacy Nick’s portly figure may al- ways be seen hurrying around the halls. We wonder whom he is chasing. Can it possibly be a girl? ROBER T B. FLOWERS “Boa” Rider College Bob is one of the few boys to follow a full commercial course. We hope he will become a great success in the future to compen- sate for his hard work. EMMA DkTHOMAS “Em” Spanish Club, Dramatic Club Penn State College Here’s a small, industrious girl, Her hair has a natural curl. We know she’ll succeed; 'That you all will concede, Whoever gets her gets a pearl. OLIVE DF.WALT “Ocgie” (iirl Reserves Olive is a quiet girl who uses most of her effort in studying. She has accomplished much in commercial work. CLARA F. DICKEY Mixed Glee Club Churchman’s Business College Here is a girl who enjoys life and believes in making life more enjoyable for others. She’s al- ways ready to join in the fun. ETHEL DIETRICH “Toots” Girl Reserves St. Vincent’s Hospital We hope Ethel will succeed as a nurse, and we feel that Mr. James, because of her excellent work in chemistry, would be glad to have her in one of his classes. CATHERINE M. DONNELLY “Kitty” Dramatic Club, Mixed Glee Club Is there anyone in the school who dislikes Catherine? But then, everyone likes a pleasing person- ality. � 7 ERNEST P. FORTI NO “Rudy” Mixed Glee Club Lafayette College Ernest is very interesting, but few have really grown to know him. Have you heard him sing? RALPH L. FOX “Foxy” Football, Track Although Ralph is quiet, he is always ready to take part in any fun. ALFRED A. FRIEDMAN “Frit?” Orchestra, Band Lafayette College Some day Fritz would like to be known as the “King of Jazz.” We wish him luck, but he doesn’t look at all like Paul Whiteman! BENJAMIN R. GADWELL “Ben” Basketball Blair Academy Ben was so popular as a basket- ball player that he was chosen captain in his junior year. HUBERT GALLAGHER “Hubie” Basketball, Football Annapolis Naval Academy What is this power Hubie has over the fairer sex? Is it his dis- tinctive Irish features, his smokey- black hair, or his deep blue eyes? MARGARET K. DRAKE “Marc” Nat. Honor Society, Glee Club Sweet Briar College A quiet girl with a charming manner. Margaret is well-liked inside and outside of school. She has a great many interests in school and attacks each one with her characteristic vigor and en- thusiasm. CULAH M. DURNS “Ruby Girl Reserves Here is a little girl who is willing to come a distance for an educa- tion. We envy her ambition (?) HELEN F. DWYER “Hunon” Glee Club, Tennis New York School of Art The other part of “Mary and Helen, Inc.” Where Mary is, there Helen is also. And she’s quite accomplished with the gen- tlemen. ETHEL V. EH AS “Et” Basketball, Glee Club Stroud. State Teachers’ College This is our very muscular bas- ketball player—and can she play? She’s the general clown of the school. MATILDA E. FORTNER “Tillie” Band Jefferson Hospital Here’s a girl who always looks on the funny side of life. Have you ever heard Tillie laugh? She shows such pretty dimples that one can hardly blame her for laughing so much. 18 HARRY R. GANGWF.R Harry has quieted down some since coming to high school, but we all know that he is always ready for fun. JACOB GAUGHRAN “Jerry Football Lafayette College Line up, girls! Here’s Jake, the shiek. He says he believes in kidding them along. FRANK GENUA Football Greenbriar Military Academy Many people have often won- dered who this big, silent chap is. He is so quiet that we feel there must be some outside attraction. WILLIAM E. GROFF Bud Baseball, Mixed Glee Club Curtis School of Aviation Those lips, those eves, that complexion. that personality. Where did you get them. Bud? MITCHELL GROLLMAN “Mitch Pittsburgh University Mitchell is one who believes in taking life easy. And believe us, he does. GENEVIEVE M. FOX “Gene Philadelphia General Hospital Genevieve’s a petite type. When she first entered high school, she had those long, beautiful, Mary- Pickford curls. But now she docs her hair up, as a senior should, and we like her quite as well. DOROTHY E. FRETZ “Dot Rider College Dot's changed in these few years. The shy little violet has grown to one of those—you know —boop-boop-a-doop flappers. But you’ll never find Dot at the bot- tom of her class. ANNA E. FUNK “Ann Dewey Dec. Club, Girl Reserves Radcliffe College Anna is one peppy and energetic girl. She surely has worked hard for us all, especially for the Girl Reserves. TERESA M. GALANTI “Tessik Teresa was one of the few girls who didn’t have to bother letting their hair grow when short hair vanished. Why? Simply because her tresses were never clipped. LILLIAN J. GARIS “Lit. Nat. Honor Society, Girl Reserves Lil has a great deal of executive ability as manifested by her able direction of the Girl Reserves dur- ing the past year. 19 IRWIN WHEELER Wheeler, flop your ears, there’s a fly on your back. But large ears arc no detriment to art. Irv has real talent. ARTHUR S. HABRIAL “Art” National Honor Society New York University Most people cannot understand Art’s love of books. He doesn’t seem to be that type of person. ROLAND B. HALL “Brud” Rechauffe Staff, Hi-Y William and Mary College Brud is sure to be a success in life as a business man. He did very well as Assistant Business Manager of the Rechauffe. JOSEPH J. HANNI “Joe” Football, Basketball Here’s our burly right-half. He certainly did plow through his opponents’ line to gain many yards for us this season. KENNETH L. HARPER “Ken” Football, Track Ken is a pluggcr, and how he can plug on that football field! ESTHER E. GEORGE “Georgie” There is probably no one in school who appreciates a joke as well as Esther. She is always chuckling over some newly thought-up one, and that is, no doubt, why she has so many friends. ANNA M. GIF.R “Midge” leaders’- Club. Girl Reserves Moravian College Quite petite, this child. But, oh, what he-men she picks for escorts!! IRENE GOLDSTEIN “Renee” Tennis Duke University Here is our own Helen Wills Moody. Although Irene never neglects her tennis, she likes to have other fun, too. VIRGINIA E. GREEN “Ginny” Girl Reserves, Mixed Glee Club Ginny is of a rather quiet nature when with a crowd that she doesn’t know well. But ask one of her more intimate friends about her and they will tell you she has more than a spark of humor in her. Why not let it out more, Ginnv? MARIE E. HAASE Simmons College Here’s another of the peppy, jolly, joke-loving members of our class. We wish we could be like her at all times. 20 GEORGE HART “Harty” Delegate Assembly. Football Ohio State College George is one of our future veterinarians. We know he will be good to horses. He loves them so. LEON F. HARTLEY “Harty” Orchestra, Track Spring Garden Institute Leon is one of the ambitious vio- lin players who help to make as- sembly programs interesting by playing in the orchestra. ROBERT J. HARTMAN “Bob” Baseball, Basketball Notre Dame University We don’t hear much from Bob. However, certain people say that he hopes to be a musician some day. Please demonstrate your laugh, Bob. A few of us would like to hear it. STEPHEN HARTWELL “Steve” Hi-Y Lafayette College This curly-headed sheik is al- ways ready for a dirty trick. But aren’t most curly-headed sheiks like Steve? MERRILL G. HARTZELL “Har n Rechauffe Staff, Hi-Y Merrill makes the kind of friend we all like to have. He docs his work, and ours too, and never gets disturbed. EVELYN V. HAHN “Eve” Soccer Here is another one of our little girls. But regardless of her size, we all enjoy going to Eve when we have any trouble with our school work. EMMA C. HAHN “Emmy” Penn State College Black curly hair, dancing dan- gerous eyes, and a queer little laugh all help make our “Emmy Schmaltz” a girl who is liked bv all. RUTH A. HAHN “Babe” Girl Scouts Ruth is the tough little article one sees running around the school with the dogged expression on her face. And, believe us, she can run bases just that way, too. MARION E. HANCE “Hance” Girl Reserves, Glee Club Emma Williard Marion has hair of an enviable shade. She's really a brilliant young maid. She follows “lc sport”. Is just the right sort, And her eyes—the green of all jade! MARY S. HART “Johnnie” Basketball Marj', who always tries to do her best in her studies, is always willing to help anyone whose need is legitimate, and. as her name implies, she certainly has a heart. 21 KENNETH A. HEINRICH “Red” Football, Track Notre Dame University Red has made the best of his scholastic opportunities, as well as his athletic opportunities. ORVILLE S. HELLER “Orvie” Philadelphia School of Design Thirteen unlucky? We would- n’t say Orville was unlucky. We envy him his artistic ability. F. TOMSON HESS “Tommy” Gym Team, Cross-Country Pierce Business College Tommy seems to be a favorite with some of the girls. They adore the childish way in which his underlip sulks. DONALD S. HINES “Don” Football, Tennis Pacific Tech, and S. C. Ryan Flying School Here’s one boy that we can’t say hangs around the girls. But he doesn’t have any trouble mak- ing friends with boys. CLAYTON H. HINKEL “Clayt” National Honor Society Rider College Clayton is the possessor of a quiet, but pleasing nature. We appreciate his one, big quality. RUTH M. HARVEY “Harvery” West Chester Normal School Ruth’s the girl with the pleasant smile and the definite expression. We don’t believe she lets anyone change her mind for her. MARGARET M. HELME “Pec” Nat. Honor Society, Spanish Club Penn State College We thought Peg was different, but it seems she, too, goes out of town, as it were, for her boy friends. What's wrong with you Easton fellows? ANNA E. HERSTER “Kid” Dramatic Club, Glee Club North Carolina Dramatic College This graduate is not one-sided. She takes an interest in extra- curricular activities as well ns in her studies. ELIZABETH H. HESS “Libbie” Girl Reserves, Mixed Glee Club University Hospital Libbie, neat, petite, and sweet, has all the attributes and flatter- ing qualities of any sub-deb of this age. LIVERI A L. HICKS “Hicksy” Basketball, Soccer Simmons College Liveria has more than one ac- complishment. She is an apt commercial student as well as a very clever seamstress. 22 GEORGE J. HOAGLAND “Hoagy” Football, Swimming New York University Here is one of the high-tower of the class. In a large crowd it is easy to discover Hoagy’s dark, curly hair towering above every- one else. That’s all right. Hoagy —Mary doesn’t care. FRANK. D. HOLLAND “Frankie” Basketball, Track Temple University Frank has the reputation of speaking a lot and meaning little. We love his squeak. FREDERICK JAMES “Frit?” Lafayette College We find that Fritz is a very quiet fellow, and until this time, we were unfamiliar with him. EDGAR M. JOHNSON Speck” Delegate Assembly, Baseball Carnegie Inst, of Technology Here is the friend of everyone. Who docs not know him? Speck leaves a host of friends. ROBERT J. KELLOGG Bob” Dramatic Club, Baseball Lafayette College Bob is one of the short members of our class. His smallness has been no hinderancc to his scholas- tic record. AUDREY H. H1LLEGASS “Billie” Girl Reserves, Tennis Churchman’s Business College Whenever we see Audrey we remember that “Good things come in small packages”. DOROTHY M. HLNfELINE “Dor” Soccer, Girl Scouts Pratt Institute Although she is an unassuming girl, Dot shows up well in her studies and is well-liked by her group of friends. BARBARA H. HITCHCOCK “Bobbie” Dewey Decimal Club, Glee Club West Chester Normal School Bobbie is a quiet and sophisti- cated girl. She is very well liked by the few who really know her, and lots who don’t know her. MARION V. HOCKMAN “Giggles” Leaders’ Club, Soccer There’8 no one who does not enjoy Giggles' peculiar little laugh. It’s the howl of the school, so to speak. ELIZABETH McK. HOWELL “Betty Leaders’ Club, Girl Reserves Wilson College Betty may be tiny, but she’s a big sport. We’ve heard that she was very fond of Latin. Is it true, Betty? 23 EARL G. KEYSER, JR. “Chick” Dramatic Club, Swimming Team Temple University Earl will be a big «hot some day —in his own estimation, if not in others’. NORMAN K. KICHLINE “Norm” Band Norman is another one of those quiet, steady fellows whom it is worth while to know. RAY H. KINDT “Side-Slip Ray” Band Parks Air College If books could speak. Ray’s history would protest because of continued hard usage. Ray was always prepared when the rest of the class were still in the fog. CHARLES W. KING “Kingik” National Farm School Charles isn’t anything extra in studies, but with us he ranks high. JAMES F. KIRKPATRICK “Kirk” Orchestra, Hi-Y Penn State College If we could all drive a car as well as Kirk docs, there would be fewer accidents than there are. DOROTHY D. HOY “Dottif.” Basketball, Leaders’ Club Columbia University Of the stars that glitter, her eyes were made, Her hair is black of a raven’s shade. Her smile is inviting, Her line is exciting. Her basketball glory never will fade. BEULAH C. HUBBARD “Hub” Basketball Howard College Beulah is one of the friendliest girls of the class, bar none, and we like her immensely. F. JOYCE INGHAM “Joycie” Mixed Glee Club, Junto Staff “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” This saying is especially true of our one and only incom- parable and real dizzy blonde. ANNA M. IVEY “Goldy” National Honor Society, Glee Club Goldy is one of our best gloom- chasers. Besides that, she’s one of the best commercial students. Lucky is the man who gets this blondy for his secrctaryl HILDA D. JAFFEE Basketball Duke University Hilda sticks to what she thinks is right and is always a good sport, whether the laugh is on her or somebody else. 24 LESTER M. KLIBANSKY “Lbs” Gym Team, Debating Club Lafayette College We wonder whether it is the profile or the wavy, black hair that makes Les so popular with the girls. It’s probably both. STEPHEN G. KOJI “Steve” Debating Club, Junto Staff Syracuse University Steve has an ambition already partly realized. He is the re- porter who writes up our school activities for the Express. EDWARD A. K RAMMER “Ed” New York University Ed is very quiet and bashful, but his fellow students think very highly of him. And, by the way, his great ambition is to grow a beard!! ! BENNIE KRIM “Ben” Basketball, Tennis Penn State College Ben looks quite pedagoguish, but gosh! did you ever sec anyone who looked that way and was that way? WILLIAM S. LANTERMAN “Bill” Rechauffe Staff, Band Lafayette College Bill makes the kind of friend we like to have. Ilia favorite pastime is arguing. And can he argue? BLANCHE M. KACHLINE “Kichie” Churchman's Business College Here is a sweet, demure little lass. Always has a pleasant word for anyone. She comes all the way from Martin's Creek, but rushing to get to school on time does not spoil her personality at all—if she docs rush. RUTH S. KAHN “Connie” Glee Club, Junto Staff Gouchcr College Ruth is one of our shy, quiet girls, but once you know her, she’s a real friend. LAURA A. KELLER “Larry” Basketball, Girl Reserves Laura is our faithful basketball player. We suppose she has as her motto: If you get it (the ball or success), well and good. If you don’t, try, try again. KATHERINE E. KEMMERER “Kitty” Nat. Honor Society, Glee Club West Chester Norma! School Kitty’s large brown eyes seem to penetrate your thoughts. Her byword is perfection, and if she can’t do a thing right, she doesn't do it at all. (She usually docs things.) MARGARET L. KING “Peggy” Leaders’ Club, Debating Club Wellesley College We always think of Peggy with a bright and sunny smile for everyone. And she’s an excellent debator, too. 25 STANLEY B. LEI BY “Stan” Debating Team Lafayette College Stan may be called the ideal student. Me is serious and al- ways has his homework finished. For this reason, he is a faithful stand-by. ALFRED LEON “Al” Orchestra, Glee Club Georgetown University Al expects to be a consul, and we’re sure he'll be a good one, if he gets through school. GEORGE M. LeVAN “Skid” Drum-Major, Delegate Assembly “Happy Feet” always makes us think of George—the boy who always makes the school dances complete with his Harold Teen drags. MORRIS LEVINE Morris is a good friend, once you get to know him. but he is so hard to find and learn to know. S. PARNELL LEWIS Basketball, Delegate Assembly Temple University Parnell has attained a high scholastic record. He climaxed his basketball career by being chosen basketball captain. ESTHER E. KRIEGER “Kid” Basketball. Soccer Churchman's Business College The boss who gets Esther for his secretary certainly will be lucky! FRANCES E. KROMER “Frannie” Girl Reserves, Mixed Glee Club Penn State College Everyone knows Frances' laugh because it can be heard every- where. And that girl can say less in more words than anyone we know. NELLIE V. KUTZLER “Tommie” Mixed Glee Club, Senior Play Washington University Nellie, who has many friends and basketball team acquaint- ances, is the normal girl of today, with her love affairs, sorrows, and successes. I. ELIZABETH LAROS “Liz” Class Basketball, Soccer Liz is just packed full of fun. Perhaps the teachers know it. Have you ever noticed her “Hel- lo”? Listen some time. FRANCES V. LAUBACH “Frannie” Nat. Honor Soc.. Rechauffe Staff Penn State College The literary genius of the class of “31” is as modest and unassum- ing as her efforts arc brilliant. Having succeeded exceptionally well in everything she has under- taken, it is certain that Frannie will make the world sit up and take notice. 26 KARL J. LIN DEMAN “Lindt Baseball, Basketball Michigan University We arc told that Lindv is a good pitcher. But don’t take it too much to heart. He told us. WILLIAM W. LOMERSON “Bill” University of Pennsylvania Bill came to us in his Junior year. We learned to like him then, and that liking has not di- minished in the least. BRADLEY E. MALONE “Brad” Delegate Assembly, Baseball Penn State College Why am I so popular? Brad is still trying to think out the an- swer. Maybe it’s his baseball prowess, or his good looks, or just his wise-cracks. PHILIP M. MAN IKRI. JR. “Phil” Orchestra, Football Columbia University Phil’s an angel in disguise. His cherubic expression can be de- pended upon never to betray him in any of his class-room deviltries, and they arc many. JOSEPH R. MARCELLUS “Joe” Football, Swimming Allentown Prep. If Joe makes out as well as his brother, he will be going some. HELEN G. LAUBACH “Toot” Barnard College Don't let appearances deceive you. Toot looks quiet and stu- dious, but she can be one of the best pals we know. DOROTHY H. LOUR “Dot” Rechauffe Staff, Nat. Honor Soc. Syracuse University Dot is the versatile girl of our class. She excels in everything and is quite an artist. But, sad to say. she is very temperamental. SADIE F. MAIORANA “Sa” Soccer Churchman’s Business College Sadie believes that “Silence is golden”. Because of this, she gets along well with her teachers and in her studies. ELEANOR L. MASON “El” Basketball, Mixed Glee Club Temple University She and Elsie should form a team and put the rest of the com- ediennes out of business, because wherever the two arc, there is fun. and plenty of it. ELSIE E. MAURER “Skiity” Basketball, Girl Reserves Stroud. State Teachers’ College Red-headed, hot-headed, and amusingly sentimental! Shall we ever forget her first typing exer- cise with the mistake on the last word every time? 27 EDWARD S. MARTIN “Ed” Ushers’ Club. Track New York University Our Lester dc Pester the second. Ed has stage ambitions and we certainly think he ought to suc- ceed in comedy; at least he tries hard enough to be funny. ROBERT A. McHUGH “Snaky” Quill and Scroll Society Lafayette College Arriving in his junior year, Bob soon gave evidence that his in- terests lay purely in scientific lines. His one ambition is to set the scientific world on tire and whatever he sets his mind on, he usually achieves. PAUL R. MESSINGER “Lindy” Churchman’s Business College Paul is another one of those silent fellows who are indispens- able to the life of a high school. FRANCIS J. MEYERS “Dutch” Francis just rolls along day after day. The only time we ever see him show some speed is when he’s driving his “Chewy”. ALFRED W. MILLER “Al” Staunton Military Academy Al is one good fellow. But we wonder why he is late so often. Docs the Ford break down? MARY B. MAYER “Mickey” Dewey Dee. Club. Girl Reserves University of Pennsylvania Do we ever see Mary alone: Perhaps her “attachment” is why she is so happy-go-lucky and helps drive the teachers mad. DOROTHY M. MILLER “Dot” Churchman’s Business College Dot isn’t very large, but she’s “right there” when it comes to having a great time. Maybe someday she’ll grow larger and surprise us all. MARGUERITE MILLER “Marc” Class Basketball Columbia University Marg has that rare ability to crack a joke and keep a straight face. Won’t you give us a breakf Marg, and teach us all the trick? DOROTHY E. MILLS “Shorty” Mixed Glee Club Churchman’s Business College Shorty’s very small, but then you’ve heard about the child who drew a six-foot beau. DOROTHY MILTENBERGER “Dot” Nat. Honor Society, French Club University of Pennsylvania Here’s to Dot who would hide her light under a bushel if we would let her. And she sure can pound the ivories—and what we mean: 28 CHARLES R. MILLER “Chot” Mixed (ilee Club Penn State College Chot is a quiet but likeable chap. He has an enviable num- ber of friends, too. EDGAR G. MILLER “Ed” “Well, my trig grade dropped a little this week—ail the way down to 95.” This boy is quite a stud- ent, and we’ll bet a stack of blue ones on his success. JOSEPH A. MILLER “Joe” Homeroom Delegate Joe is no exception to the aver- age E. H. S. boy. He never takes school seriously. CONRAD F. MILLS Football, Baseball Stroud. State Teachers’ College Conrad has that quiet pleasing nature which is so rare. We ap- preciate it. KENNETH H. M1TMAN “Ken” Junto Staff, Debating Club Lafayette College Ken is one of those all-round good fellows. He can’t kid us with his cynicisms. They don’t make us angry. We merely laugh ourselves sick. VERNA J. MORRISON “Vern Girl Reserves Vern is one of our home-econo- mic graduates. We are sure she’ll make good and we wish her luck. She is an all-round sport, too, and believes, more or less, in tak- ing a “Dare”. MARIE F. MOTLEY “Rie” Girl Reserves Marie might be disliked by some of us for she looks up the ’phone numbers of the absentees every morning. However, the guiltless ones just can’t resist her friendly smile. ETHEL I. MOYER “Ep Class Basketball Rider College Her quiet smile is only one of her many charms. We arc sure she will have friends wherever she goes. PHYLLIS E. NAGLE “PlIYI.” Abington Memorial Hospital Phyllis is one of those myster- ious persons. Wc wonder what the object of her frequent visits to Philadelphia is??? EDITH R. NEAVE “Neavie” Lascll Seminary If there were such a thing as a fast society set in school, wc imag- ine Edith would be the ring-leader in it. She is a jolly girl and has a lot of friends, many of whom arc among the college students. 29 FRED L. MORGEN STERN “Fred” Homeroom Delegate, E. H. S. A. Lafayette College Gootl-looking—better dancer— best sport. If there were only enough adjectives to describe our admiration for Fred! JOHN H. MORRISON “Mutt No. 2” Football, Baseball Staunton Military Academy Mutt II. He follows in his brother’s footsteps. If you don’t believe it, ask any girl who goes to football games. JAMES T. MOY “Jimmy” Swimming Team, Hi-Y Stroud. State Teachers’ College We wonder why Jimmy makes so many trips to College Hill. He draws simply marvelous pictures of Jiggs. F. WOODROW MUSSELMAN “Woody” Football, Track Grecnbriar Military Academy Woody is known for his grit and determination. May these qualities give him luck in life. ELLSWORTH E. MUTCHLER “Mutch” Orchestra, Band Lafayette College Mutch has quite a few friends among the girls. Very likely it’s on account of a certain piccolo and curly hair. GRACE L. NEYHART “Pete” Girl Reserves Pete is a girl who is always ready for a good time. In fact, she often goes out looking for it. But then you can’t blame her, for who doesn’t like a good time? ARVILLA M. NIECE “Bh.uk” Girl Reserves We don’t hear much from or of this girl in the line of school work; but she certainly is there when it comes to having fun. NAOMI E. NORWOOD “Nome” Basketball, Glee Club Penn State College Basketball, singing, having a good time, and cheering all boys in dispair occupies all of Nome’s time. But she’s the best of sports as her many friends will readily tell you. FLORENCE NUSIM “Flory” Nat. Honor Society, Rechauffe Barnard College Now here's someone really worth while, We’re sure that she’ll make her pile, We wish her success, With great hopefulness For her we’d all walk a mile. OLGA C. OSTBORG Radcliffc College Our curly-headed Olga is al- ways quick to sec a joke or humor in anything worth laughing at. 30 OSCAR W. XL'DING “Os” Basketball, Track Penn State College Oscar is fast on the track, but that isn’t the only place where he’s fast. OW!!! RUSSELL S. PEFFER “Zl 17.” Mixed Glee Club Allentown Prep Zitz is one of the few people who take school seriously. We won’t say horc seriously. PETER H. PELLI COITI “Pete” Penn State College Who in the third year algebra class hasn’t heard Pete called down? Mr. Brotzman thinks he gets too frisky occasionally and makes him behave. CATELLO S. PIZZA “Spike” Nat. Honor Society, Glee Club Georgetown University Studies are just one of Spike's many accomplishments. He’s the prop of the Latin class. JOHN L. PRENDERCAST “Jack” Football, Basketball Notre Dame University Jack is one of the great big “He-Men” of our class. He also has the distinction of being the youngest player on our football team. MARGARET E. PEFFER “Peggy” Dewey Dec. Club, Dramatic Club West Chester State Teachers’ Col. Peg’s freckles arc the banc of her existence, but we think they're cute. And her dimples! We can’t possibly describe them. RUTH E. PEI FER “Diz” Girl Reserves, Nat. Honor Society Temple University Ruth is one of our tennis champ- ions. She is clever in many other ways, and we’re ready to prove our statement by saying that she’s in the Honor Society. M. NORMA PENGELLEY “Normy” Junto Staff, Senior Play Academy of Fine Arts If one is intelligent and at- tractive, we feel that no other qualifications arc needed. Normy certainly doesn’t need any! ALICE C. PIROLA “Al” Class Basketball Rider College She is a studious girl and takis most of her fun outside of school. However, she has a smile that goes a long way toward friendship. ADALINE J. PLANK “Addif. Nat. Honor Society, Rechauffe Wellesley College This is our brilliant young girlie, She began to be brilliant quite early. She dares us to try— Her limit’s the $kv— For her, the Future seems pearly. J i GEORGE J. PURDY “Dutch Football (Capt.), Basketball Temple University Dutch is an athlete of rare abil- ity. He certainly has been an asset to our class. W. PAYSON RAPP “Rkd” Columbia University One of many, many strawberry blondes. He’s got a print-shop, and smokes a pipe, too. Mere high-school children can't be ex- pected to understand a big busi- ness man like him. DAVID T. REIBMAN “Dave” E. H. S. A. (Pres.), Football Stanford University Here we have the big man of the school. Dave holds the high- est office possible—President of the E. H. S. A.—and is also a shining star on the football field. What do studies count when one is so popular, eh, Dave? KENNETH T. RE1 CHARD “Ken” Band, Orchestra New York University Blasting trombone, wise-cracks, a popular boy at dances, some letters from Peggy—Kenny, our idea of a general good sport and friend. WILLIAM J. REILLY “Bill” Stage Manager Bill may be quiet in class, but you should hear his noise in the hall. He sure knows how to make it. ETHEL V. POOLE “Effie” Spanish Club, Library Club Penn State College Ethel has very vampy eyes, and when she rolls them, the boys gather around her like flics around honey. ELVA M. POWELL “Pally” Dramatic Club, Glee Club Mcrrill-Palmcr School Now here's a real modest young lass. She stands far above all the mass. Very bashful and shy, We don’t quite know why, She surely always will pass. VIRGINIA I. RAITH “Gin” Dramatic Club, Junto Staff West Chester State Teachers’ Col. Fun! Giggles! Dimples! That’s Gin. She wants to be a teacher and we hope she’ll succeed. RUTH V. RANSOM Spanish Club Barnard College Ruth is one reason why gentle- men marry brunettes. She’s an excellent reason, isn’t she, boys? EDNA S. RAPP Mixed Glee Club Stroud. State Teachers’ College We firmly believe that Edna is one of our coming young geniuses at the piano, and not only docs she play, but she sings. She cer- tainly deserves to be a success because of her hard work. 32 EUGENE J. REILLY “Gene Basketball Manager Syracuse University Gene seems to be a well-liked all-round student. We all wish him luck in his work. THEODORE C. REMALY “Ted Temple University Ted has little trouble attract- ing the girls. We have heard rumors, doubtlessly false, to the effect that lie’s none too studious. WILLIAM H. ROBERTS “Bill” Junto Staff, Hi-Y Lafayette College One of those much envied, high- brow-power boys. He certainly ought to be a great success if intelligence has anything to do with it. NICHOLAS J. ROTONDO “Nick” Basketball, Band New York University We know that Nick sure can play a trumpet, for haven’t we heard him in the band? ARMAND L. RUPELL1 “Rupp” Dramatic Club, Glee Club Armand goes around looking cynical, but we’re quite sure that his cynicism, like all cynicisms, is a mask. FRANCES N. REIFF “Reiffy Class Basketball, Glee Club Easton Hospital “It's always fair weather when good fellows get together, es- pecially when one of them is Reif- fy. If you want your spirits raised, she'll do it, gratis. GRACE K. REISS “Kid Girl Reserves Grace is a very tiny girl. Ushers have a hard time keeping an eye on her during hall rushes. We big bulks simply blot her out. ESTHER L. RIED “Bubbles” Orchestra, Band Stroud. State Teachers’ College We were very sorry when Bub- bles cut off her curls, but we’re glad she’s one of these modish girls, because now she’s letting them grow. KATHLEEN R. RIEY “Kay Leaders’ Club If you should happen to hear a young lady who uses many per- sonal nouns and pronouns of the masculine gender in her speech, you may be sure it is Kay. You arc also bound to have a good time when you arc around this girlie, for she fairly bubbles over with mirth. VERA M. RODEN Beaver College Oh! How the boys all fall flat, When Vera appears on the mat. She’s winsome and happy, She’s graceful and snappy, And popular! She’s all of that. 33 MICHAEL J. SALAMONE “Mike” Baseball (Capt.)� Glee Club Mike is a very clever and tricky baseball player and a boy among boys. We can say nothing more complimentary. ALBER T H. SANDT “Al” Tennis (Capt.). Junto Staff Carnegie Institute of Technology Although Albert is Easton High’s idea of what the well-dress- ed man should wear, we’ve about decided that, judging from his actions, he's training for a chauf- feur’s position. HUGO SARACENI Even if Hugo isn’t a success scholastically, he’s sure to be a good waiter. He hasn’t spilled any soup in the cafeteria so far. WILLIAM (). SASSAMAN “Bill” Orchestra, Band Lafayette College Bill is one of the few boys in the National Honor Society. In spite of this fact, he is well liked by us all. JACK F. SCHATZMAK Football, Band Blackstone College Jack is one of our football heroes and is very popular, not only among those of his own sex, but even (how strange) the weaker sex. He also toots a wicked cor- net. lie doesn’t take anything very seriously and laughs his way through difficulties. ARLENE L. ROLING “Billie” Rider College Arlene is a perfect harmony. She is cute, demure, and rather shy. What an enviable combina- tion1 MARY SAMOS “Babe” We don’t hear so very much of Mary, but we realize she’s around. We’ve never heard her say any- thing unpleasant about anyone. FLORENCE M. SAR “Flo” Literary Club, Glee Club Easton Hospital When you see a small girl bob- bing through the halls, you know it’s Flo. She's always ready for anything that comes her way. BERNICE M. SARSON “Bkrnie” Nat. Honor Society, Dram. Club Syracuse University Bernie is another one of the National Honor Society people, and we admire her for it. She is an intelligent miss who has gone through school with a bang. F1LOMENA E. SCHETTINO “Filly 'Temple University Her sweet smile with her quiet and unobtrusive manner has gone a long way toward winning her many friends. 34 JOSEPH SCHMUK “Joe” Basketball. Baseball Lehigh University Joe entered Easton High not so long ago, and believe us, it wasn’t hard to guess where he came from. We don't know about the algebra ability, but there’s only one place where people talk ns he does, and that’s—oh, you guess! DONALD W. SCHWARZ “Don” Glee Club, Hi-Y Don takes an interest in many things, especially a certain girl we know. DAVID SCHWIMMER “Dave” Nat. Honor Society, Junto Staff Lafayette College Dave is in probably more ac- tivities than any other under- graduate. OLIVER W. SCOBLE “Ole” We haven’t heard much of Oliver during his high school car- eer. He is very much interested in sports, but we wonder if he is also interested in lessons. We think he probably is. HOWARD M. SCULL “Scully” Football Lafayette College Howard is so comical and as fun-loving as he is talkative, prov- ing the maxim “Looks are deceiv- ing”. GLADYS A. SCHLOUGH “Gladie Literary Club, Glee Club F.aston Hospital We present our snappy young miss, Her brilliance, to us. is bliss. But she still plugs away. Working hard every day. In studies she’s never remiss. CAROLYN M. SCHt'RZ “Carol” Leaders’ Club Pres.. Girl Reserves This one we find very reserved, Her reputation is always preserv- ed. She ne’er talks in class. Nor looks in the glass. We’re sure she’ll get what’s de- served. HILDA A. SCHWARZ “Tillie” Band Easton Hospital Hilda’s a friend of ours. With whom we’ve spent happy hours. Some dimples worth seeing. Has she when she’s smiling. So here’s to our lassie’s powers! L. MYRTLE SEIPLE “Myrt Girl Reserves. Band Myrtle, we've heard, is very determined, and determination gets one places. Good luck. Myrt! AN A BEL-LEE SEXTON “Bluky” Rechauffe Staff. Del. Assembly Temple University Annabel is the exception to that famous saying, “Beautiful, but dumb”. For she has both beauty and brains. “Sweet An- nabel-Lee” seems to have been written just for her. 35 ROYER D. SEMPLE “Roy” Debating Club, Glee Club University of Pennsylvania Roy is famous for his laugh and his walk. Neither can be imitat- ed. Nor can his acting in “Stop Thief.” CHARLES E. SHAFER Shrimp” Lafayette College Little, but mighty—that’s Shrimp. He sure can cat up al- gebra. Despite that, some peo- ple even like him. JACK H. SHANEBERGER “Yock” Orchestra. Track, Band Jack is a noisemaker, but only in the band and orchestra. Other- wise he is rather quiet. J. LEONARD SIDDONS “Sid” New York University Strange to say, Sid is one boy who can still blush; and, even stranger to say, he doesn’t care for girls. HARRY H. SIFF Football Manager New York University Here’s our capable manager of the football team. He’s a real good sport and a live wire, too. ELIZABETH B. SHICK “Bets” Mixed Glee Club Penn State College Bets needs no introduction to our class. Her sense of humor has won her many friends. MARY J. S HUM BAT “Shumie” Jefferson Hospital “Giggles” should be Mary’s middle name. Has anyone ever seen her frowning? Introduce the extraordinary person. MAE M. SIEGFRIED Senior Dramatic Club, Glee Club Mac’s charming smile and sten- ographic ability (especially the smile) will carry her far when she is “Somebody’s Stenog”. MARION SI MON ETTA Marion has been absent a lot and we all missed her. She may be quiet, but she’s also very ef- ficient. Isn’t that usual? ROSEDITH S1TGREAVES “Rose” Nat. Honor Soc., Girl Reserves Wilson College Rose is the answer incarnate to any teacher’s prayer; she is our ideal student. She is also shy and demure, and we wish her all the success possible in the coming years. 36 JAMES W. SIMONS “Jim” Jim, to most people, seems very quiet. Among his friends, how- ever, he’s an awfully good sport. THEODORE SIVITZ “Ted” Here’s a lad with great aspirations, (Grows he taller, we’ll all get pros- trations). He’s funny continually, And flunks almost annually. He certainly has inspirations. VINCENT J. SLAGER “Sum” Glee Club If Slim liked studies as well as loafing, he would be in the Honor Society. But since he isn’t— lucky society! EARL A. SMITH “Smitty” Swimming Team, Gym Team Stroud. State Teachers’ College Earl certainly has a natural gymnastic ability. We know he will succeed as an athletic director. EARL S. SMITH “Smitty” Penn State College Smitty hasn’t been heard of in his four years, but he is known among his friends for his genial disposition. And he isn’t a bad “detective.” ANNA M. SLOYER “Shorty” Leaders’ Club The class is simply overflowing with midgets. And Anna May is helping to overflow it. AGNES E. SMITH Northficld Seminary Wouldn’t Agnes just choose a profession that has something to do with the mouth. She’d love to be a dentist! GLADYS M. SMITH Delegate Assembly, Glee Club Minnie (we’re teasing) is a good friend to everybody, and very popular too. We wonder if she’ll follow in her brother’s footsteps in the Glee Club. She probably will if the Big Three, of which she is a member, is not broken up in the meantime. JANE A. SMITH Albertina Rasch School of Dancing Jane wants to be a dancer. With her good looks she should be able to crash all stage doors. LENORA E. SMITH “Slim” Rechauffe Staff Here’s a girl who’s always jolly. She seems to radiate sunshine. W'e wish we had more girls like Lenora at times. 37 JAMES M. SMITH “Jim” Jim has been a quiet fellow for four years. We arc sure that more will be heard from him in the future. ROBERT R. SMITH “Bob” Mount Herman We only see Bob at school, but that is enough to convince us that we like him. PAUL L. STARK “Starky” Paul has a regular baby face, and quite all of the girls have fall- en for it at some time or other. CHARLES R. STECKER “Steck Spanish Club. Band Penn State College Steck is one of these happy-go- lucky people. Nothing ever wor- ries him. Must be a great feeling Steck. RONALD U. STEM “Stf.my” Homeroom Delegate, Glee Club Temple University Why is it that all the girls like Stemv? Ah, we have it. Have you ever seen the gentleman dance? EDNA M. SNYDER “Eddie” Mixed Glee Club Easton Hospital Here's a girl who just can’t understand why she doesn't be- come tall. Everyone has his own tragedy, and Edna thinks her smallness is hers. MARJORIE A. SNYDER “Madge” leaders' Club, Girl Reserves Jefferson Medical Hospital Here is another girl who prefers silver to gold; is not speech silver? MARIE L. SPARTA “Siuurrs” Spanish Club Stroud. State Teachers' College Marie's the little dark-haired, dark-eved personality one sees fluttering about the school. “Flut- tering” is the word, because she’s never actually still. EMILY D. SPRAGUE “Spragy” Mixed Glee Club, Spanish Club West Chester Normal School Spragy is, without a doubt, the tallest member of our class and every added inch of height makes her handsomer. ALICE STEAD “Al” French Club University of Pennsylvania It has been said that one cannot possess both beautiful hair and brains. In AI we find direct proof of the contrary for she pos- sesses both. 38 EARLE H. SYLVESTER “Sal” Mixed Glee Club Lafayette College It’s hard to tell just why Sal comes to school. Wc know it's not for studying. RONALD Y. THORNTON “Ron” United States Naval Academy Ron is extremely interested in forestry. I5 it that doesn’t mean he doesn’t pay any attention to his studies. ALFRED TORRANCE “Juney” Junto Staff, Hi-Y Lafayette College Everyone knows him. If there arc nominations for any office, he is usually nominated. And he generally gets the office, for he is Senior President. READE E. TRANSUE Rechauffe Staff, Track Stroud. State Teachers’ College We won’t have to worry about Rcadc if he traverses life as he does our cinder track. BERNARD L. TRENBERTH “Bern” Greenbriar Military School Bern never seems to have a care in the world. He cither passes an exam, or he doesn’t. It’s all the same to him. GRACE E. STERNER Spanish Club Moravian College Grace has so many good quali- ties that we can’t do her justice. Let it be sufficient to say that she is ns likeable ns she appears. DOROTHY I. STONE BACK “Dor” Leaders’ Club, Basketball Stroud. State Teachers’ College We don’t know what the basket- ball team would have done with- out Dot, a “Stoneback” indeed for them. RUTH I). STRAUSS “Dolly” Churchman’s Business College Even if Dolly is very quiet, she is always around when she’s need- ed. And that’s something in this school. MARY STREBEL “Billie” Mixed Glee Club, Girl Reserves Stroud. State Teachers’ College Mary is always as neat as a pin. No doubt you have noticed “Mary Helen, Inc.” E. ELEANOR STREEPY “Curly” Mixed Glee Club, Girl Reserves Rider College Curly is a quiet and studious girl. She’s a good friend, too. Once you make her friendship, you may be sure you’ll never be without at least one true friend. 39 THOMAS F. WALSH “Tom” Football, Baseball Greenbriar Military School Another boy whom the gods favored. He is a dashing foot- ball player, has a winning per- sonality, can sing, and, above all, can dodge Mr. Weiss’ erasers beautifully. ROBERT A. WALTER “Bob” Most stout people are supposed to be jolly. Bob is no exception to this rule. WILLIAM J. WARNER “Bill” Football, Basketball Duke University He’s our “Big Bill” Warner, the dark horse of the football team. When he plunges, he stays plunged, and we won’t ac- count for the casualties incurred during the rush. LESTER W ARWICK “Les” Baseball, Gym Team Temple University We wonder if that curl in his hair is natural. It looks too per- fect to be true. HARRY E. WEISEL “Reverend” Muhlenberg College Here is our “Reverend” sir. We don’t wish his ire to incur, But, really, you know, It happens to be so. So he shouldn’t wish to demur. HELENA E. STROUSE “Helen” Orchestra Lankenau Hospital Helen of Troy—she is our gold- en-haired sweetheart. And like the other Helen, she has quite a temper. LAURA V. TANZELLA “Larry” Spanish Club Larry usually has a twinkle in her eye as though she’s up to some mischief, although she is demure and always has a sly, pleasant smile for everyone. LOIS A. TILTON “Loie” Mixed Glee Club, Girl Reserves Lankenau Hospital Loie is one of the too few girls with beautiful, long, black curls. They aren’t artificial, either. And she’s as nice as her curls are pretty. GOLDINE TOLL “Goldy” Mixed Glee Club Temple University Goldy intends to make good in the commercial world, but we’d really rather have some more of her excellent advice on hats. ELIZABETH J. TRANSUE “Betti e” W est Chester Normal School Bettie is one of the small, dain- ty girls of our class. She’s up at the Eddy every day, so we sup- pose she’ll swim the channel soon. 40 THEODORE R. WELCH “Ted” Orchestra, Band Lafayette College Although hiding a taste for mechanics behind those goggles. Ted occasionally blows a slide- trombone as an outlet for exuber- ant spirit. CHARLES W. WERNER “Charley” Delegate Assembly Charley gives us the impression that he is a very quiet, but fun- loving boy while in school. We often wonder how quiet he is out- side of school. CLARENCE R. WHITEHEAD Whitey” Ushers’ Club Penn State College Clarence is seldom heard or seen, but we hear from reliable sources that he is a math shark. RAY WILLIAMS “Lefty” Football, Basketball Penn State College Ray has justly earned the rep- utation as an all-round athlete. He also stands high as a student. ARTHUR L. WILSON “Art” Art is the funny man of the class. Any of the study hall teachers could sue him for mental cruelty. KATHALEEN L. WAGNER “Kim” Glee Club Temple University We understand that Kitty is going to be a chiropodist. We know she is going to have a very good trade. If you don’t believe us, just take one look at Kitty and then you’ll understand. KATHLEEN H. WALP “Kap” Moravian College Kathleen is one of those girls whom everybody likes. We’ve found her friendly and always ready to lend a helping hand. LORENA W. WALTER Nat. Honor Soc., Leaders’ Club University of Southern California Lorena may be tiny, but she docs big things. She is one of the lucky members of the National Honor Society. Her work in “Stop Thief was excellent. DOROTHY M. WALZ “Dottie” Leaders Club, Delegate Assembly Phila. Academy of Fine Arts While Dottie is noted as a leader in school activities, her smiles and sweet ways have gained her an enviable number of friends. ELIZABETH G. WEANER “Betty” Glee Club, Girl Reserves Easton Hospital Here’s one girl of our class who docs not like boys. However, to make up for this, she’s very sociable among the members of her own sex. 4� CLAUDE S. VVOLBACH Claude is a very bashful and quiet boy. But then “Silence is golden,” isn't it, Claude: EDWARD E. YOUNG “Ed” Orchestra Penn State College Ed has a second string to his fiddle. Besides being an accom- plished violinist, he is also a cap- able cornetist. CHARLES O. YOUNGKIN “Chick” Cheerleader Keystone College Charles' curly head was absent from the chccrlcading squad this year, so perhaps that accounts for the decrease in the number of rah-rah-girls at the games this season. RUSSELL R. YOXHEIMER “Abie” Mixed Glee Club Chicago Tech. Abie is a familiar figure around school. A motion has been made to allow him to walk on stilts so as to see more in his class. NICHOLAS J. ZANGLl “Mike” Another quiet fellow. He’s one of these fellows that knows all he tells but does not tell all he knows. ANNE A. WEITZMAN “Whitby” Dewey Dee. Club. Debating Club Mount Siani Hospital Anne, along with her pep, has that impetuous desire to go places, see people, and do things. ELIZABETH A. WILLIAMS “Betsy” Dewey Dec. Club, Dramatic Club University of Kentucky Betsy, the adorable. Pride of t lie corriders. Laughing and pret- ty. What would we do without her? GERTRUDE J. WOLFBERG “Gert” Junto Staff Stroud. State Teachers’ College All day long Gertrude is a very quiet girl. But when seventh period study hall comes along, she's very different and we can’t imagine why. LAURA E. WOLFE “Honey” Class Basketball Columbia University Honey is another one of the reasons why gentlemen prefer blondes. If more information is desired, ask the gentlemen. JUNE E. WOODRING “Juney” Girl Reserves, Glee Club Rider College We always wondered why June enjoyed those basketball games. Now we know. 42 ARLYNE M. YOST “Kid Rider College N7ow Arlyne is one we all know. But no one can discover her beau. She keeps to herself, Puts herself on the shelf. And doesn’t tell much. Ah. no! DOROTHY F. YETTER Dot Rider College Dot is filled up with P-E-P. She’s sure dancing is ten times more fun than studying. So arc we. In mruuiri) of our brlourb riasomatr, fflarir HrbarM, uiljo birb April X, 1930. In mrnuirp of our friettb aub trarljrr, iflr.

H. S. Class of 1931 IIT'E noble minds and marvelous thinkers who have for three years raised the standards of Easton High School to a height never before equalled, and who have taken such wonderful care of the teachers, allowing them great liberties, and yet seeing that they were always supervised and protected, do ordain and establish this, our last will and testament. We bequeath all of our treasures, valued and otherwise, to the following: To the Juniors— The dear old library including Miss Greider and her nice pink slips. All those who lack interesting personalities may have Steve Koji’s tempera- mental one (emphasis on the temper). To those who have not already obtained it, Albert Sandt and Adaline Plank bequeath that sophisticated air which all loyal seniors must adopt. The cafeteria goes to the juniors with the understanding that they will keep it as clean and tidy as we did. We bequeath to them also the wastecans to be used as scats and places to park books while one takes a drink at the water fountain. We pass on to whoever wants them the curtain cords which tie into such beauti- ful knots, and the chemistry department with the tricky ventilator which keeps the air as pure as that of spring (spring in a glue factory). We leave also the post-graduates to be kindly and considerately treated. Our overpowering desire to study and learn is handed on with the books we have taken such good care of, and the large, roomy locker rooms where the books are kept. All those unfortunates with an inferiority complex may have Kenneth Mitman’s superior attitude. Dorothy Walz was to be given to someone, but there were too many claimants, and we didn’t want to cause strife. We leave to the newcomers’ tender mercies all the teachers whom we have not driven to impersonating Napoleon or to teaching tiddley-winks to the Joan of Are- at Rittersville. David Schwimmer’s mud-slinging ability wc bequeath to the sewer contractors. Pinskey, the antique dealer, may have the alarm clocks that have tortured us five days a week for three years, and to the new Junto staff we endow Miss Gregory —may they never arouse her anger! If any of the readers or hearers of this will know anyone who in some manner might be embezzled or gypped into accepting “Dynamite” Bob McHugh, we wish to be notified so that we may present Robert to that brave but foolish person. Greatest of all, wc present our dear Alma Mater to those who follow us, and hope they will be able to worry along somehow without our helpful advice and able assistance. In witness thereof we have set our hand and seal hereto this fifteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one. Signed—Class of 1931 46 THROUGH THE BIG END By DAVID SCHWIMMER THROUGH THE BIG IvNI by David Schwimmer New York, July I. 11)40 Diary of a modern Pepys: Up quite early, it being only 10:80 by my antique electric clock, ami caught my left car in ventilator while doing my setting-up exercises. I lad my man. Stephen Hartwell, quite a busybody, but meaning well, call Dr. Joseph Miller, who fixed up the injured organ and forbade wiggling my ears for at least a week. Came a youngish- looking tinhorn attired in yellow spats ami sporting a green tie. whom I recognized as the redoubt- able J. Russell Bnilev, and refused his offer of insurance for my wife's pet mutt. In the afternoon to beauty parlor run by Marjorie Snyder. Emma DeThomas. and Dorothy Carty, and get a mani- cure pandoodle for my wife's maid. Came the afternoon, ami wandered over to Broadway, and wasted four bits ami a good two hours watching a strong-imm act put on by Charles Shafer ami Clayton Iiinkel at Ashenfelter's Hippodrome. In the evening, phoned Ixvster Klibanskv’s Ix an Establishment to refuse if my chauffer tried to hock my missing cigarette lighter. Spent the rest of the evening gossiping with Mr. and Mrs. M. (filbert Ilartzcll. So to bed ami to fall asleep over a detective yarn by Earl Keyser. There seems to Ik no end of interest and novelty in New York. Things here change much more quickly than in any other place. And the life of a columnist is still pretty good, especially if you step into the shoes of one who has created a reputation. What I’m referring to is the retirement of ().(). McIntyre, who returned to dear old Gallipolis, Ohio, two years ago. If I don’t fill his shoes well, it’s only due to the fact that McIntyre has such big feet. One of the most outstanding successes of the summer here in New York is the flea circus run by Robert McHugh on 42nd Street. Business there is on the up-and-up. with crowds streaming in and out. McHugh has several assistants, among them Frances Reiff. Marie Sparta, and Mellie Case. As an added attraction, there can be found a side-show, in which McHugh exhibits his |H t snakes ami reptiles. I have just been informed that the class of 1040 has lieen graduat- ed from Easton High School. With the same letter comes the news that the E. 11. S. faculty was getting along very well without us, the prize class of '81. There seems to l e something wrong with this, but I think it can Ik easily explained if we look over the list of the faculty, which Edgar Miller, chairman of the Easton School Board, has sent me. Most conspicuous, because of his absence on the list, is Elton E. Stone, who has accepted a call to become Dean of University of Nebraska, his Alma Mater. In his place we have William Bryant, who sends innocent children to eighth period. Mr. Park has retired; Mr. Shafer has gone back to cub reporting; Miss Plank has gotten married: and—I knew she would some day Miss Gregory has also gotten married. Because he has shown outstand- ing abilities in understanding ionics, Mitch Grollman has been larnessed to Mr. Park’s job. Be- cause of a remarkable originality, especially in reference to dates and facts. Tomson Hess has been allowed to replace Mr. Shafer. Because she can and because she likes to talk so much. Bernice Sarson has been allowed to take the |H sition held by Miss Plank. As for Miss Gregory’s position they couldn’t find anyone worthy enough to fill it. so. as a result. Junior English and the Junto have both been discontinued. While leisurely walking along Park Avenue the other day. 1 happened to meet Arthur llabrial. The Easton School Board has just hired Mr. Hahrinl. who is a well-known archaeologist, to dig up some of the old fossils that formerly frequented Easton High School. One of the most delightful sur- prises I ever received came this morning, when, having hailed a taxi. I was astonished to find that its driver was no other than Al- bert Sandt. I inquired, some- what nosily, into the cause for his present condition. ‘‘Well, you see, it was this way. I was making out very well in the thermometer-testing business, but then my fiancee. Miss Sexton, started coming around to my place of business, and all my thermo- meters burst every time I touched them. THROUGH THE BIG END by David Schwitnmcr New York.

Fortino, the Maitre d’Hotel at the Plaza, is affecting a waxed mustachio and patent leather slippers. Vcrnaldo Ackerman, in town selling saxo- phones and other pipeless heaters, seems to find plenty of time to drop down to Riegelsville to see if the water will Ik deep enough for ice-skating. A passing fancy for flaming red neckwear seems to have possessed Ellsworth Mutch- ler. Ever since he got married. Vincent Bosoo, the chemist, a boy who made good in the city; Charles Boyer made some. too. But Joe Schmuk. the Lawyer, got him out of it. William Loinerson -he was the high school sheik who wanted to know how heavy a radical he was 47 THROUGH THE RIG END allowed to lift—writes and wants to know what lias fowome of his hoy friend's girlfriend Rosedith Sit greaves.

Yesterday I ran across—that is, my chauffer almost ran over— Royer Semple, and we hail a great time together. Royer, who is in the chicken-feed racket, says business is not so hot. since all of the girls have cut out potatoes, cream, sugar, butter, anil tips. At the same time, Semple man- aged to divulge several grains of information to the effect that Kitty bixler had finally settled down to a quiet home life with Kenneth Mitman. band when it comes to distribut- ing ashes artistically. Payson Rapp, filling the posi- tion of Superintendent of Streets —the position is the only thing he fills; the streets are in awful shape—got his office by defeating George LeVan, the Non-Conform- ist, on a radical Social platform. Sassaman, though he hail a safe majority at the polls last Novem- ber. was ousted in favor of Russell Peffer as City Engineer because his campaign expenses caused a run on benjamin Cohen’s Trust Company. Dr. Pizza, who is the head of the bureau of Health and who runs an insurance business on the side of a 45%-cut. basis, has achieved an efficiency of 05%. leaving the other 03% of his patients alive to avert any unnecessary sus- picion. Professor Parnell Lewis holds the entertaining posit ion of Chair- man of the Shade Tree Commis- sion. which goal he has attained only through the continuous prod- ding of his spouse, the former Miss Dorothy II. Lohr. the well-adver- tised artist. The two of them learned about shade trees during their courting days. Incidentally. Mrs. Lewis’s mod- ernistic drawing entitled “Moon beams” was uwarded first prize last week at a private art showing held at the home of Mrs. Ruth Kahn Cohen, the society matron, in New York. The fact that no one realized, at the time of the showing that Mrs. Ia wis’ draw- ing was hanging sideways, re- flects very well on the critical abilities of Ruth Ransom and Margaret Holme, who edit the art page of tin1 American. I seem to have strayed off my subject of politics, but here I am back again. Front these facts you can easily set that the .Non- Conformist Party was highly suc- cessful at the last election. And. as my host. Torrance, ndmits. a great measure of the credit for this phenomenal success is due to no other than Miss Mary (.’line, the resourceful cnmjNugn manager of the Non-Conformist Party. It was in 1985 that Miss Cline resigned her position ns Supreme Tyrant of the English department at Easton High School. The reason behind her resignation was that, after being associated with the .45 calibre big shots of the 1 OS 1 class, she found it too difficult to teach Emerson’s doc- trines to little kids of .42 calibre. As for ben himself, he’s had quite a checkered career since 1981. He whiled away the time waiting for Elsie by playing bask- etball. and as soon as she graduat- ed. they went to a co-ed school— Alpha Tech. I think—and found out that lessons didn't mutter. Accordingly, ben and Elsie skimp- ed and saved ten dollars and went to Elkton. where bill Warner tied the old sailor knot after they had said their I don’t’s. After that they settled down in a nice little flat on West Canal Avenue, near the world-famous Lehigh Valley Smokehouse. At present, ben drives a truck for the DePietro Furniture Hauling Company, whose motto is: Don't go elsewhere to get gypped; come to us. I always did have a faint notion that I was a fool and that Oppor- tunity was knocking on the door ami I didn’t have enough sense to let the poor fellow in. Now I’m sure of it. Many a «lav did I ride the trolley car from South Easton to dear old Easton High. And I usually sat down and tried to concentrate on Newton’s law of unludaneed emotions. but it was the boys with fore- sight who took advantage of the opportunity then and there to learn about the mechanical work- ings of a trolley car. As a result, bemuse, of their extensive exper- iences with the various gadgets which led to the heart of a trolley car. Lester Warwick, Mutt Morri- son. brad Malone, and Thomas Walsh have all obtained lucrative (msitions as window cleaners with the Lehigh Valley Transit Com- pany. Incidentally. Kenneth Mitman. I’redcrich Morgenstcrn. Charles Sleeker, and Earle Sylvester each own one-half of the Transit Com- pany. Steve Koji owns the re- maining quarter. From a different source. I learned, a few days ago, that Ken- neth Reiehard has opened a gi- gantic Music Academy in Easton. The main instruments which are taught there are the trombone, fiddle, flute, and sixophone. A- mong the numerous assistant in- structors are Oscar Nuding. Harry Wcisel. James Kirkpatrick. Char- les Miller, and Edgar Johnson. The lady assistants are Mary Dcilcy, Edna Davis, Liveria Hicks. Elsie Maurer, and Nellie Kutzler. business is booming. THROUGH THE BIG END by David Sehwimmer Easton. July 15. 1940—The fact that New York, on the whole, is very hot at this particular time of the year was one of the chief reasons which prompted me to accept Alfred Torrance’s invita- tion to sojourn a while in this, my old home town. In case you don't know. Torrance happens to be the Mayor of Easton. He was elected last November on the Emersonian Non-Conformist Ticket. The entire ticket, with the exception of William Sassaman and George LeVan, was elected. These two lost out because they would not conform strictly with the Non-Conformist policies. A- mong those who took office with Torrance are David Kcihman. Dr. Catello Pizza. Donald Campbell Russell Peffer. Professor Parnell Ix wis, and Payson Rapp. Campbell was elected, by an overwhelming majority, to head the Easton bureau of Garbage and Ashes. His competency for this |H sition is due mainly. I sup- pose, to his extensive experience in dealing with the junk some per- sons were wont to submit to the Easton High Junto in the days when Campbell was editor of that publication. Mrs. Campbell, the former Miss Norma Pengellcy. who is a well-known commercial artist, is a great help to her hus- 48 This afternoon, having nothing whatsoever to do—ns usual— Torrance asked me if I eare l to go to the Easton Hospital to see Charles Healer. I acquiesced, and u|w� n arriving. I was most nstonish« d to he greeted by Alex Corriere, still wearing his old crook’s sneer, lie had failed, he informed me. in making good on the stage, and. as a culmination of various misadventures, was now elevator hoy at the Hospital. Bidding farewell to Alex, Tor- rance and I turned our footsteps toward Healer's room. When we finally arrived at Charley’s room, there was the old boy himself with both his hands strapped down. His private nurse. Miss Vera Roden, who lmd given up a quiet homelife with Morgeustern. the great aquatic star, informed us that Healer’s ailment was merely a fractured skull from knocking wood too much. On the way out, at various times, we encountered nurses Marie Haase. Dorothy Hoy, Blanche Kachlinc. Geraldine Al- bus, Kmina Hahn, and Dorothy Mills. Business at the hospital is increasing. Any wonder? THROUGH THE BIG END by David Schwiinmcr Easton, duly HI. 1940 Diary of a modern Popys: Wakened as result of the pernickety affection of an extremely ill-mannered mos- quito which had. in some manner, evaded the all-encompassing screen on my bedroom window. Indulged in a refreshing bath with Sitf's bath salts, then down- stairs to be welcomed by the charming Mrs. Torrance. As pre- lude to breakfast, gorged myself with Singer and Shimer’s new sweet grapefruit. Whiled away the time till Torrance himself got up. by playing ehoo-ehoo with his little daughter Hilly Jane, who seems to dote on publicity. Sid- dons, the chauffer, drove me out to the Northampton Country Club, where I hobnobbed with old acquaintances, Ronald Stem. Claude Wolbaeh, Robert Walter. Howard Scull, and Conrad Mills, all men of leisure. Also played golf with Gene Reilly, feature sports writer for the Express. Ate sparingly of dinner cooked by Ethel Dietrich under supervision of club chef Antonio Doria,albeit Ted Sivitz, the steward assured me the meal was perfectly undilut- ed. In the afternoon, rend half of novel by Ramsey McGurk. THROUGH THE BIG END which is the noin de plume of Prances Laubnch. the budding high school fietioncer. Then spent the rest of the day touring town with Torrance and Merrill G. Ilnrtzcll. who tracked me hither from New York. In the evening with a party augumented by William Groff, the crooning radio tenor. Stanley Lciby. the notor- ious night club owner. James Simons, the wholesale mattress- tester. and Ray Williams, eo- Imrtncr with Dutch Purdy as •'aston High football coach, and went to Gertrude Laubach’s fash- ionable restaurant for dinner. Then to a show at Prendergast’s renovated Fourth Street Ice- House and enjoyed nothing so much as a one-reeler starring Ed Martin. Ami so to bed. The controversy about football coaches at Easton High was ended last year when George Purdy and Ray Williams, both luminaries of the 1931 football team, were selected to act as coaches on equal terms. I |H u talking with Williams last night, he told me that under no circumstances is he going to allow any big cheeses on tin- team. IIis objection against big-cheese footballers seems to be thnt they leave too many holes in the line. That restaurant of Gertrude I.aubach's is on a par with some of the best in New York. The service, tin food, and the music are something to talk about. The food is well taken care of, with Tillie Fortner, Dorothy Fretz, Alice Pirola. l,aura Keller, and Elizabeth Diros in the kitch- en. There's lots of | epi or and spice to it. Harmond Farr and his Gigolos satisfy your longing for music so well that after you leave, you feel as if you'd never again want to hear anyone else play. Harmond still toots his trumpet, but now his wife keeps time for him—-she sees to it. that Harmond gets home before 1:80. The rest of the orchestra has l eon rcvom| ed. This time it's a blonde. Willie Lantcrman pounds the drums; Virginia Atkinson wails with the saxophone; Alfred Leon saws away on the overgrown fid- dle; Rotondo and Salamone pun- ish the alto horns; Phil Mauicri squeaks away on the violin; Pete Pellicotti, with symbolic grim- uees. clangs the cymbals. John Eckert. Vincent Singer, a ml Ronald Thornton yodel the latest funeral dirges to the ac- companying wailing of the gypped patrons. As for entertainment, this res- taurant has most of the Broad- way shows outclassed. With a trio of feminine charm- ers like Dorothy Walz, Helen Bahr, and Marion Hance. and with a fellow like Hill Reilly oper- ating the lights, one experiences— well, no, one just becomes exper- ienccd. Then, of course, there is the supporting chorus composed of Ruth Harvey. Evelyn Hahn. Edna Rapp. Arlyne Yost, Eleanor Slrecpy, Myrtle Sciple. Emily Sprague, and Frances Kromer. Hoy, what snap, speed, ami sparkle those girls do combine. Annabel Sexton, waiting for Fortune to hit Albert Saudi on the other cheek, is praeticing authority under the able tutelage of Miss Daubach. Miss Sexton ommands the chorus. And Jim Moy is the head bounc- er. with assistants Joe Marcellus, Woodrow Mussclman. and Ken- neth Heinrich. Ilcinrich also serves as head waiter in a pinch. He told me that he waited a month for his pay last year. I THROUGH THE BIG END by David Sehwimmor Easton, July 17. 1910 -If I was ever surprised at anything, at anytime, it was yesterday, when I toured Easton-As-Is with Hart- zell and Torrance. We started out in Torrance's family Packard —it holds six—. which, incident- ally, he bought from the Morris Levine Can Corporation. Along with us were Mrs. Torrance ami Mrs. Ilnrtzcll. the former Adalinc Plank, who. it may be recalled, was just recently granted a divorce from Edward Krahmcr. the phy- sicist. by Judge Edward Aichcr. We let the two wives off at The Monoplane, which still survives, now exclusively under the man- agement of Ruth Peifer, Agnes Smith, and Verna Morrison. Thence we rolled on toward the Circle, where Joe Hanoi and Kenneth Harper, two everalert Traffic cops, tried to give us a ticket and persisted until Tor- rance finally convinced them that he was the Mayor. The things I saw after that were quite surprising, if not shocking. Easton has changed considerably from the dormant and peaceful little town it was back in 1931. 49 THROUGH THE BIG END The A I Meat Market in the Circle has heen entirely renovated and Dr. Reade Transue, the horse specialist, has been assigned the job of curing all the hams. At least that’s what Alfred Miller, the private publicity man, was yelling at the top of his lungs in front of the store, his competitor being Elizabeth YVeancr. the hot- dog Indy. Miller used remote control. In the northwest corner of the Circle is a new de luxe drug store where they sell anything from Paul Adams’ kittle Liver Pills to inner tul es for Austins. The lnce is owned jointly by Elva owelI. Virginia Raitli. Ethel Poole, and Kathleen W'alp. The soda-squirters are Helena St rouse and Virginia Green. Charles Dare is guard at the subway station, which has been rebuilt after its collapse two years ago. Jacob Mayer, after being bought out. as Torrance tells me. by the I. Goldstein and II. JafTec Racket Company, has moved to more spacious quarters atop the John Fallon Building. The building is O. K. so long as you don’t fall off. The old Bush and Bull Building is also no more. In its place there is at present rising a gigantic two-and-one-half story structure which has shattered all past arch- itectural achievements. The first time it was put up, it collapsed and buried five people, gypping Teddy Welch, the undertaker, out of five jobs. The reason for this sudden eol- lapse was probably due to the fact that the building is being put up by a construction company run by ClifFord Case. Edward Eater, and Jack Shaneberger. More peculiar than anything else is the fact that this company employs only women. Probably a throwback on some high school habits. The three efficiency experts are Gertrude Wolfberg. Katherine Kemmerer, Elizabeth Hess, and Anna May Sloyer. Their chief duties consist in seeing that each employee uses only one Dixie cup at lunch. The private secretary of the organization is Gladys Brewer. The typists are Elsie Baird, Beulah Hubbard, Sadie Maiorana. Grace Xeyhart, Phyllis N'agle, Dorothy Beatty, Virginia Brinker. and Dorothy Culver. Those who do the typing arc Dorothy Miller. Ethel Moyer, and Florence Sar. Elisabeth Bredbenncr ruhs the steam shovel for all the main jobs, while Editli Xeave helps out in a rush. It's a heavy job. but these two balance it pretty well. And. through a bright idea of Margaret Drake, who seems to be the personal advisor of the whole concern, the new building to replace the old Bush and Bull structure is to be named the Push and Shove Building. On the way back home. Tor- rance suggested we drop in tin Peggy Book Shoppe to see the latest, hot off the press. The proprietors of the place. Peggy King and Culoh Durns. being graduates of the class of 1031, and being extremely meticulous as to minor details, chose to wait on Torrance. All the books which are sold in the place are so dry that the Sahara Desert would go into retirement if it should ever become aware of the existence of this bookshop. The only interesting thing which I. poking my nose into everything, was able to find, was a book entitled “Love in its Var- ious Phases” by Lillian Garis, who is well-known for her at- tempts at writing in The Fashion Magazine, published by Dickey, Howell, Hitchcock, and Ruling. In this book. Miss Garis ex- postulates on the childish, adoles- cent notions which are entertained aliout Love by many persons. With old age and maturity, claims Miss Garis, one becomes experi- enced and finds holes in many contrary arguments. Esther Krie- ger and Arvilla Niece are the two redeeming features in this book. Among the results of our visits yesterday was a sudden deficiency of money this morning when I wanted to give my wife some. Accordingly, I was piloted over to the Figlio Loan Corporation, which advertises loans up to $300.00, at only three times the lawful rate of interest. “Our friendly and private way of doing business.” says the ro- bust, waddling Figlio. “will ap- peal to you.” Yes, it’s crying out loud. Another fellow who has entered financial circles and who seems to Ik making an outstanding success of his business and uncomplaining suckers of his customers is Bennie Krim. Krim’s success undoubtedly is due to his course in Business and Commerce which he took at Alpha Tech. He graduated with the degree of I. (). I '. Norman Kichline, Frederick James. Roliert Kellogg, and Rol ert Hartman are doing a lot of dirty work. They're the ones who count the filthy lucre in Krim’s Bank. Frank Holland, whose recent sales at the Army and Navy Store have been the sensation of the whole district, has filed a petition of bankruptcy before Judge Roland Hall. His lia- bilities total $1.78. In a personal interview granted to Lorena Walter and Olga Ost- lw rg. sob story writers for tin Easton Express, Holland attri- buted his failure to the fact that his partners in crime and ignor- ance. Charles King and Raymond Kindt, foolishly sold all the goods in the store at the advertised prices. Mr. Holland’s nervous break- down is scheduled to take place tomorrow afternoon at half-past three. Admission, ten cents. The Smith Family’s convention will take place next week. They’ll need a lot of place, too. Edward Young, player of the violin and trnm|K t during his high school days, is still quite musically inclined. The next time you get more in- clined, make sure you’re standing on the edge of a roof, and see what happens. This afternoon, I visited the Easton Hospital again. This time it was to see Jack Schatzman, who is in for treatment of a gash on his head that he got when he was hit by n large piece of soft iron. It must have been Jack’s mag- netic personality. Among other details which I noticed around the hospital were Helen Clause, Mary Deck. Anna Gier, and Mary Hart, more nurses. I eavc it to a superintendent like Charles Chcston, that light- headed hero, to think up some- thing entertaining. And Edward Arndt, Bob Flow- ers. and Ralph Fox drive the am- bulance. I’d rather walk. 50 THROUGH THE BIG END THROUGH THE BIG END by David Schwimmcr New York, July 20, 1940 Dia- ry of a modern Pepys: Slept quite late after arriving home at break of day from dear old Easton. Went down to the gym and limb- ered up with Frank Genua. Mon- keyed around the parallel bars, and reached for a piece of sky, which wasn't there. Bounced once, and lauded in bed Iwck home. Revived shortly by pri- vate nurse Naomi Norwood, who reminds me of California. Fin- ally up and about in the afternoon. Came Orville Heller, and tried hard to sell me set of Ivooks on the George Hart Theory of Asphalt landings. Karl l.indeman. a boy who made good in the city: Alice Stead a girl who made good in the city; ami Eleanor Mason the country damsel. Refused the of- fer of these to endorse the Motley- PcfTer Patented Neck Wringer. Admired the new model Frank- lins. designed by William Roberts, but prefer Oliver Seoble's new Dcusenbcrg any day. Again up and out on Fifth Avenue, which seems to be losing its swank. Met Genevieve Fox and Helen Dwyer with their new-found fiances. Wished them luck (the fiances). Dropped in at revival meeting on 42nd Street. Paid a dime ad- mission and almost got hysterics, for the evangelist on the box was no other than the former chorus girl, Joyce Ingham. In the even- ing to watch a basketball game at Rupelli's Fifth Avenue Gym- nasium. ami Dorothy Stoneback and Bet tie Transue arc wonders at finding the basket. Strangely wondered whether Mary Ma er had married yet. Ditto for Dor- othy Miltcnbcrgcr and Florence Nusim. Rode home in Leon Hartley's cab, and bluh-blahcd over phone with Bus Shafer for half an hour. And so to bed. This morning, while phoning, I got peeved, and said a few some- what unnecessary words to the operator. To make my point clearer. I went down to the phone office and complained about the service some operators were giv- ing. I saw Saraceni, the head man there, and he turned the case over to his assistant. Paul Stark. He gave up hope too, and was relieved by the other assistant superintendent. Francis Meyers. He made no headway, and was succeeded bv the janitor. Bernard Trenberth. After running through practically the entire office force and getting no satisfaction. Care- taker Paul Messinger introduced me to some of the operators. Ami when June Woodring, Dorothy Yetter, Laura Tanzolla. and Kathaleen Wagner, all opera- tors in their own rights, started to argue with me, my debating instinct took sudden wings. Now I know why they want to establish a World Court. One of the most important scientific discoveries in years has just been made by Anna Funk, the famous child psychologist. M iss Funk, assisted in her ex- tensive research by Mary Shum- bat. the celebrated authority on mannish instincts, and by Caro- lyn Sehurz, the well-known ex- pert on clothes, has discovered and proved to her own satisfaction that when a child cries, there is evidently something the matter. Miss Funk also advises that children not be allowed to take their fingers into their mouths, because it is a bad habit. THROUGH THE BIG END by David Schwimmcr New York, July 21. 1940 — Thoughts while strolling: Won- der whether Clarence Whitehead ever married that brunette that lie ran around with a year ago? Catherine Brodie, Mary Cam- brone. Lucy Burgia, and Dorothy Bryant ought to form a quartet. It’s a wonder that Olive Dewalt and Catherine Donnelly don’t join Marcella Case in getting a job at the Bugen Bugcn Revue. A gray-headed policeman. Ter- esa Calanti and Marion Simon- etta surely are rated high as stenogs. Mae Siegfried, the new- ly elected secretary of the W. C. T L. Esther Ried has acquired that harsh nasal accent common to students of the German lan- guage. The smell of hot dogs. Marion Hockman flipping pan- cakes in a lunchroom window. What did my wife tell me when I went out? Grace Sterner and Mary Strebcl don't belong on the stage. They belong back home with Ruth Strauss, Lois Tilton. Anne Weitzman, and Betsy Wil- liams. And hubbies. Mary Sa- mos. Grace Reiss, and Nicholas Zangli just back from an extended trip to Italy. A nice swim would be refreshing. Wonder if anyone will ever know why Gladys Schlough jilted Charles Youngkin. Despite their sex, Audrey Hille- gass. Anna Herster. Dorothy Hincliuc, and Marguerite Miller have all been presented with diplomas and are now certified draftsmen. They always were quite compe- tent in creating drafts. For the same reason, it strikes me as rather appropriate to have Elizabeth Shick. Hilda Schwarz, and Kathleen Riey selling hot- air heaters. But then, most of the fellows are already married. Word has just reached me that South Easton Suspension Bridge—• you almost got suspended from school for shaking it—has been given up for lost by Samuel Wei- ant. known to the boys by the affectionate term “Sammy”. The collection of tolls on the bridge will henceforth be taken care of by Laura Wolfe, who heads the Honey and Sap Corporation. 1 haven’t learned yet who the sap is. Visitors in town this week are Mr. and Mrs. Frank Zettler. Mrs. Zettler. better known to her followers as Esther George, the actress, and her husband have come East after a strenuous month spent in making their latest talkie, “The Indians are Coming”. 51 Qutograpf 52 Junior Class Officers Second Row, Left to Right: Budd Palmer, Mr. James, Sr., William Kieffer.

Football Captain—George Purdy Manager—Harry Siff | 'HE call for football candidates this season was answered by an unusually large A number of aspirants. With Captain Purdy, Warner, Heinrich, and Williams as veterans, the forming of a formidable team was no easy task. The schedule was one of the hardest ever faced by an Easton High School team. Facing such schools as John Harris, Norristown, Bethlehem, Hazelton, Allentown, and Phillipsburg was a stiff proposition. We are sorry to say that this year is the final year of “Pat” Reilly’s coaching activities at Easton High. His coaching career for the past nineteen years has been a remarkable one. Throughout these nineteen years, the football teams of Easton High have established a record of many victories and very few defeats. To show its appreciation of Reilly’s contribution to the school sports, the E. H. S. A. presented him with a check of 1,000. at the end of his coaching term.

The schedule was one of the hardest ever attempted and the team has come through with flying colors. Much of the team’s success is due to Coach Notestinc and the managing efforts of Eugene Reilly.

The lack of var- sity players from last year did not daunt her nor the team in the least. Everyone went to work with the idea in mind to have another successful basketball season. Their efforts have not been in vain, because the season was successful and the school is proud of the team and coach. Captain Dorothy Stoneback and Manager Elsie Maurer deserve credit for the work which they did for the team. The sportsmanship of the whole group is to be commended. The team and school want to extend their thanks and appreciation to Coach Agnes Cummings for her constant and faithful endeavors to make this past season a success.

The relay teams in the Penn Relays, Bethlehem Relays, and Scranton Relays, made an impressive showing. The team strengthened their hold on cups won at Bethlehem and Scranton. Much credit is due to the coaching of Clyde Notestine and Manager Alfred Torrance.

The relay team has been one of the steady winners. An intensive schedule has been undertaken and the team has proved itself worthy of the schedule.

The club’s main interest is athletics and its aim is co-operation. Its membership is limited to fifty girls. In the beginning of the year and at the end of the first semester, girls arc elected to the club and are initiated in a very novel fashion. There is an evening initiation and, later, an initiation dance. Their active season is closed with a formal dance. The Leaders have charge of one assembly and spend much time in preparation for this. 72 “E” Club FOOTBALL George Purdy (Capt.)

Last year, in 1930, the teams won the new Ursinus Debating League Trophy, and the 1931 team worked hard to win it a second time.

Stone THE Hi-Y Club is now one of the best organized clubs in the school, its purpose being “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the School and Commun- ity, high standards of Christian Character.” During the year the club, which has an enrollment of about forty members, was entertained by a number of interesting speakers. It also sponsored several cam- paigns in an effort to encourage clean living. Much of its success is due to Mr. Stone’s interest in the organization. 80 Girl Reserves President—Lillian Garis Secretary—Rosedith Sitgrkaves Vice Pres.—Carolyn Schurz Treasurer—Ruth Peifer Advisors — Miss Reed, Miss YVillauer, Miss Votter ' I 'HE membership of the Girl Reserves, re-organized again this year under the direction of Miss Reed, their faculty advisor, exceeded for the first time the one hundred mark. The girls have retained their excellent standards in school life and have done the same fine V. W. work as in former years. The morality play which they presented to both a Senior and Junior High assembly was very well ap- preciated by the students. The organization owes a great deal to Miss Willauer, who substituted as chief advisor in the absence of Miss Reed during the second semester of this year, and Miss Yottcr, the assistant advisor. 81 FA-MOW Boys’ Glee Club Fourth Row, I .eft to Right: Anthony Maiorana, Harry Weisel, Earle Sylvester, Rover Semple, Dick Lear, Ernest Fortino, Irvin Seidel, Vincent Slager.

There were fifty members on the roll. During that year they gave an assem- bly program and sang over the radio on Station JZ. This last brought responses from all over the country. They have tried hard to make this, their second year, as successful as last year, and they have succeeded in many ways. Easton High School can be proud of being one of the few high schools in the country with such a really excellent Boys’ Glee Club. 82 Easton High Band Advisor- Mr. Beam HTHIS year the Band took bigger strides than ever before. This was due to the co-operation of the members and the work accomplished by Mr. Renkwitz during the year. The organization made an excellent showing at the football games, and was a credit to the school. We were fully convinced of the musical ability of the Band by a concert given in the Spring. 8.3 Advisor—AI r. Ren kwitz 'T'HROUGH the excellent work of Mr. Renkwitz, the Orchestra has again grown A into something of which Easton High School may well be proud. The school would be like a fish out of water if the Orchestra would suddenly cease functioning in assembly. Its presence was felt not only in regular assembly, but at the Oper- etta, at the Senior Play, and at other occurrences. Its concert in Senior High as- sembly was much appreciated by all. It is hoped that next year the Orchestra will again be something of which we should not be ashamed. The graduating class wishes to thank Mr. Renkwitz for his fine work and sacrifice in making the Orchestra a success. 84 Miscellaneous Clubs LA FRATERNIDAD ESPANOLA President—Daniel Moyer Secretary—Margaret Hclme Vice Pres.—Arthur Habrial Advisor—Miss Melva Kuntz The Spanish Club was re-organized this year by Miss Kuntz. Its membership is open to all second year Span- ish students, and its purpose is to give these students a better knowledge of the games and customs of Spain. LE CERCLE FRAXCAIS President—Adalinc Plank Secretary—Lorena Walter Vice Pres.—Donald McCluskcy Treasurer—Rosedith Sitgreaves Advisor—Miss Reed The French Club is comprised of the students of the third year French class and has been supervised since its organization by Miss Reed. Its purpose is to acquaint the French students with French customs and the tongue as it is spoken. USHERS’ CLUB Head Usher—Philip Hoffman Advisor—Mr. Hagerty This dub, with a membership of from twenty to twenty-five boys, is another excellent example of Easton High’s unselfish service. Under the management of our assistant principal, Mr. Hagerty. the Ushers’ Club again lived up to expectations and again became noted for its courtesy and service at the Senior Play, the Operetta, and all other performances in the auditorium. The school wishes to thank Mr. Hagerty and the club for the service they have rendered. QUILL AND SCROLL CLUB President—Ruth Kahn Sec.-Treas.—Virginia Wysor Vice Pres.—David Schwimmcr Advisor—Phyllis Gregory The National Honorary Society for High School Journalists was re-organized this year by Miss Gregory. The purpose of the club is to develop creative writing in its members, all of diom arc honor English students. It is a national organization and has possibilities of becoming important in the school curriculum. JUNIOR HIGH ORCHESTRA Advisor—Mr. F.rb The Junior High Orchestra under the capable direction of Mr. Erb has made a fine showing this year and has greatly helped in the success of the Junior High assemblies. LITERARY CLUB President—David Schwimmcr Scc.-Trcas.—Dorothy Ix hr Vice Pres.—Merrill Hartzell Advisor—Miss Laura White The Easton High School Literary' Club, formed last year through the efforts of Mr. James T. Pole, began its activities immediately at the start of the school year. The purpose of the club, to foster literary interest in the high school, was carried out successfully. The meetings, which were held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, were featured bv talks by members of the faculty. Outstanding among those who spoke was Mr. E. Joseph Miller, member of the High School English Department. Probably the most noteworthy accomplishment of the Literary' Club this y'ear was the second annual Literary Contest, which was open to all students of the school. This contest was conducted shortly after Easter. 85 Senior Play THE annual senior production was held only one night this year, March 28, 1931. The play chosen was Carlyle Moore’s farce comedy, “Stop Thief”, which deals with the actions of two thieves turned loose in a house full of wedding presents. To make things more complicated, two of the main characters believe themselves to be kleptomaniacs. Everything is finally righted and three weddings close the play. A large part of the success of the play was due to the able direction of Miss Emma C. Greider and Mr. Elmer J. Miller and the excellent portrayal of the differ- ent characters by the members of the cast chosen from the senior class.

Part of the credit for this success goes to Miss Elizabeth Hillyer, the dramatic coach, Miss Mclva Kuntz, who trained the dancing, and Louise Erhardt, the accompanist. The beautiful settings showing a part of the college campus were designed by Miss Edith Sturtevant, and were painted by the students of the art department under the direction of Miss Peterson. 'Phe success of all our operettas is due to the fine co-operation of all the various departments of the school.

At the time of the Great War he was percolating through Mis- souri with a one-man. one-dog medicine show. The show didn’t pay. The dog had a limp, a cold, and numerous fleas. The man had what he called a crimp in his style. The Missourians didn't have any- thing. and so the mail hopped a one-way express, making good con- nections with u Federal steamer, and barged away to the War. His name wasn’t on any official line-up. He had never touched a bomb or a gun in all his varied life. He couldn't find any unoc- cupied uniforms lying about. He hadn't had an introduction to the army (or whatever the name of the chap at the head of the jolly old war was called) and so he slept in a lifeboat and ate sparing- ly of the two dozen sandwiches that the street vender on Dock Street had missed some time back. The see was rather rough. The man wasn't an experienced sailor. A lifeboat tips about as much as the steamer it's on. The man ar- rived, by a miracle, minus a «lec- tor’s aid. on the shores of sunny France. In the midst of a terrible rain storm he progressed, by methods all his own. from Brest to the val- ley of the Meuse-Argonne. He immediately took possession of a two by four tin lean-to which he supposed had l ecn re- served especially for him. He liv- ed happily for three «lavs waiting for things to happen. They «lid. After it was all over the man conceive«l an acute necessity of wandering out, at three A.M.. to a large field between two rows of trenches, one of which was held by some unfriendly Germans, the other by a few of just as unfriend- ly Knglish. Human and «inhuman ! odics were scattered promiscu- ously about. Most of the bodies were held together by small strips of khaki cloth. Nevertheless, after three or four hours, the man « ol- l« cte«l an impressive and miscel- laneous supply of helmets, guns, boots, identification «Uses, water bottles, and everything required of a good soldier except the authority to act. This done, the man settled down to a humdrum life, telling himself such jokes as h«‘ thought the Mis- sourians wouldn’t like, and waited for other things to happen. They did. too. This time the man didn’t wait ’till three A. M. He was there when the first johnnie blew «•IT. He was there, t x . when the last one whistled home. He, or what was left of him, was there eighteen hours later when the re- lief brigade went out. When they found him. he was lying on his back smiling into the sky. He was taken back. No one claimed the body. No one ever had any claim upon it. The dog of his Missouri days had long since b« en adopted by a new medicine show. The laxly was sent latek to the States. There is a white marble tomb in Arlington Cemetery, which sohl- iers guard both night and day. The man lies there. THE ART OF LIVING H. Mayer. ‘8S “. . . . But the world shall end when I forget” Som« onc has said. “Art is the expression of the spiritual in terms of the material.” I always apply this definition of art to the art of living, although few proplc possess a talent for it. and still fewer have develope«l their talent. I am quite sure that I have talent for the art of living, be- cause I collect impressions of the spiritual in order to achieve the enjoyment of the material in life. As a collector of impressions, which makes up the spiritual part of life. I canvassed the hours, and I got most worthwhile things the laughter of chihlren, a sash of mauve ribbon, the smell of a tiny sprig of arbutus; sounds, sights, and scents that are recalled by present joys to help me liear the material part of life, the disagree- able side « f it that must be colored by these various impressions. “. . . . Look, what I luck my mind supplies: Lo. thus I triumph like a king. Content with what my mind «loth bring.” The title of the poem from whi«:h the above is taken is: “My Mind To Me a Kingdom Is. This title. I think, explains my ability for the art of living. “AS YOU LIKE IT” Stephen Koji, '31 Life is «‘xciting « r uneventful, wonderful or terrible, beautiful or ugly, fascinating or dry; but it is a game. We ourselves, are re- s|M nxihle for what it is. We nre the players and it is up t« us to Iilay the game � f Lib well. In ,if« we can recall a play or move as much as we «-an make time move back for a minute or even a split se xind. Fiustcin theorizes that we «•an see the world move Imckwards if we speed from the earth fast enough. But even that great scientist does not claim that Time or Life goes backwards. We must keep playing every minute and also watch the oilier players so that we can make and take advan- tage of the opportunities. It is rarely the case that the a«r«ls are stacktxl in our favor. That is what some people think. They just sit back ninl think that the game will take care of itself. It will not. Not only «lo we have to play well but we have to Ik g«xxl play- ers. You may soy: “What’s the difference between playing well and being a g xx! player?” There is n large difference. We must be good sports whether we are win- ners or losers. Remember that we cannot alter the facts of Life by losing in a hard manner. We are the on« s who are responsible for the outcome « f « ur game. In the iK'ginning, we had everything to gain and nothing to los . So we should not take our lack of gain t � h« art t«x� much. Better yet, we should not lost an«l we will not if we play the game right. Even now, in s h x l. wc should b playing the game. E«lueation is one � f the b« st cards in our haml. Take advantage of it be- cause it is a part of the prej ara- tion. Most of the great states- men. inventors and geniuses spent most of their live in preparation. When they were prepared they played the game and won. If wc wish to make a success of life, wc should begin to prepare ourselves now. Let us play this interesting game « f Life with g«xxl cards in our hand. 93 Alma Mater The arch with its keystone—our symbol of strength, The hills where the green forests grow, And the Delaware Forks bring a message of old, Where the great rivers murmuring flow.
