EDWARD A. MOOERS. True greatness is sovereign wisdom.” Surely the class of 1914 is lucky in having such a brilliant youth. He shines like a star of first magnitude. He is not a grind but he studies assiduously - if you know what that means. Lehigh University is to be congratulated over this phenomenal prospect--(We’re saying nice things about Eddy” so he will buy a book or two.) Class Book Board, Senior Class Play. JOHN T. MORRISEY. Let be my name until I make my name! My deeds will speak.” Small but how he can talk—that is, when he shouldn’t! Strange as it may seem when asked to recite in class, his voice almost forsakes him. We mustn’t be too hard on him for he is extremely well behaved except when you try to col- lect his dues and then he is a difficult proposition. FREDRICH MULCAHY. A youth so honest, bound to do right An athlete so sturdy, strong in his might.” All hail Captain Mul!” Under his staunch leadership, an enviable record was made on the gridiron last fall. Fred is a clever chap and always meets you on the square. He has high aspirations and is excelled in oratory only by Demosthenes himself (remember that famous football speech.) His failing is his fondness for die Fraulein.” May his H(e)art net him much happiness. Captain of Foot Ball Team, Basket Ball Team, Committee for E. F. A. Entertainment.

 o o LAURA S. KLUGE. A creature not too bright or good, For human nature’s daily food.” Has it ever been your good fortune to meet one of those quiet girls who always have a smile and good word for every- one? Well, that’s just the kind of girl Laura is. During our four years association with her, we have discovered not one fault to censure. She is studious and bright in school and out of it she is just a jolly girl, full of fun. For her we prophesy a wealth of success. ELLA M. KOHN. Whence is thy learning?” Conie’s” friends tell us that she is what is commonly called a shark” in high school parlance. They say she excels in German, though she does go to sleep in the class. Perhaps that is due to the class, not herself. Not alone in school is she remarkable, but she also plays the piano remarkably well. To look at her, you wouldn’t think that so much talent was hidden within her, for she looks like any other girl. But it’s there, we’re sure. We wish you all kinds of success and good luck in the future, Conie.” E. CHARLOTTE LeFEVRE. She just sat there a-giggling.” Charlotte is always laughing and talking and she never fails to have a great deal of gossip to tell people. She and her twin are always together; wherever you see the one you will see the other. A looking glass is an absolute necessity with Charlotte.

FLORENCE MASON. Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.” If you have ever attended any function, where Florence has been you realize how tempus” can fugit.” In original wit and humor Florence certainly leads the procession. And best of it all she can keep a straight face during the telling. Have you ever seen her drawings ? Or heard her play ? And besides all these talents she writes poetry. Just look in another part of this book if you wont believe us. Class Poet. JENNIE E. NEWELL. Be to her virtues very kind, Be to her faults a little blind.” Jennie has both faults and virtues, as every human being has. One virtue is a desire to stand well in her classes, and from that arises a fault, too much studying. Jennie, you ought to remember that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” and is liable to make Jennie a dull girl. You want to be careful, and take a little recreation occasionally. RUTH BELL NEWELL. I have labored and with no little study.” Possessed with a good supply of gray matter” Ruth shines in the classroom and deserves her marks for she works for them. Many times, however, Ruth is seen laughing and whispering so there must be fun in her besides knowledge. It is said that Ruth always has a box of candy at home — evidently there is a man in the case.
