' Marcella graduated from the Township schools with highest honors. Throughout her High School career she has shown special ability in mathematics as well as every other branch of study. Small in stature but great in mind, is the g'girlie who represented Hilltown High in the Peirce Spelling Contest for the past four years. How do you like that for a record? This year she had the honor of spelling over the radio. Marcella isu't athletically inclined, but scholastically, she's hard to beat. Marcella has performed most successfully f- the work of Treasurer for our Cafeteria all this winter. That isn't a job that doesn't re- quire patience, either, but she endured. She does things so good-naturedly, too. Marcella is quite happy if she can have a good book to read and meditate on during her spare time. Our litle one doesn't believe in speaking unecessarily. That's good, Marcella. If only others agreed. Marcella expects to attend the West Chester State T eachers' College to prepare for the teaching profession. May good fortune attend you! 1- FRANCIS MOYER Sellersville, May 4, 1915 A . Francis Moyer from Silverdale, Comes to .school thru rain or hailfi' Activities: Chaplain of Literary Society, 45 Peirce Spelling Contest, 4g B. C. I. M., 3, 4g Basket Ball, 3, 4, Baseball, 4, He's My Pal, 4. Francis is another of our athletes and musf icians. One of his extra -curricular acitvities is engaging in an interesting game on the Basket Ball floor. - Francis plays both the harmonica and Ha- waiianvGuitar and has shown his ability sev- eral times before the Assembly with the com- bination. Francis can sing, too. It's just been dis- covered recently that Francis is in possession of a very good tenor voice and endeavoring to make the best of this talent, he's trying hard to cultivate it. Francis is a very kind-hearted and good-nab ured boy, willing to do anything for anybody at anytime. We certainly are grateful to him for seeing us to and from so many Basket ' Ball games. He was one of our persuasive land agents H in 'He's My Pal, and was certainly a wise schemer to put old Cal on his feet and at the same time salvage Mrs. McCay's cash. We don't know what Francis expects to do after he's departed from this worthy Institution of Learning, but we wish you a great deal of success. 8

RALPH MOYER Harvey Blooming Glen, ,luly 26, 1914 Who is this irresistible sheik?- He's the president of our class Yes we all know he,s fond of- A certain blue-eyed lass!

Ralph, the shiek as well as president of our class, is widely known for his various activities. Harvey is just another of our Baseball and Basket Ball knock-outs. For the entire four years, he has been on both of the teams: on the first as a regular and in Basket Ball a Forward And is he good? Well, some people are just natural born ath- letes, that's alll He has proven himself both a good sport and has also won the fellow- ship of his fellow students. Ralph is also musically inclined, being able to play the clarinet almost to perfection and being in possession of a very fine voice. Ralph was in the Glee Club and Orchestra for four entire years, participating not only in those, but in various outside activities as a soloist. Ralph was just the 'gfine young man in He's My Pal. I know lots of girls that were rather envious of another! l Be careful Ralph! GRACE M. DETWEILER Perkasie, R. D. No. 2, November 28, 1913 Who is this dainty little Miss? W hose happiness gives others bliss? It.: Grace, an all around sport W ho is mighty, tho, kind 0' sh0rt.

Grace is a little black-eyed girlie with dark hair and a personality that's undescrib- able. Une can tell by the mischief that pops out. that she is a first cousin to Charlie. Grace is an amiable friend to everyone who always offers a helping hand when needed. She is a good student and pianist. Grace plays 'igua1'd on the Basket Ball team and she plays very well. Grace has an advantage in being small'-she can get into some places to get the ball where some others canlt. I believe tho', Grace would rather be a bit taller. She has a considerable distance to come to school, but Grace and her passengers always arrive on time with the exception of when a tire thinks it's time to blow out. Grace is planning to further her education willing worker combined with her friendliness bring honors to herself as well as others. 7. at West Chester and with such a kind and and ability to make friends, we know she'll

GRACE CASTLE Fair Hill, March 24. 1916 Those laughing eyes, and that winsome smile Surely makes this life worth while. ' Activities: Basket Ball, 2, 3, 45 Peirce Spelling Contest, 3, 45 Librarian, 33 He's My Pal, 43 B. C. I. A., 3, 4. , Grace is one of those graduates hailing from thefbig town of Fair Hill! But you don't know anything about her yet. Not un- til you see her play Basket Ball, or hear her spell and see what ability she has along liter- ary and poetical lines, will you agree with us that-she is some girl! She is extremely interested ,in books -- reading novel fiction or anything containing excitement. She seems to like reading better than any particular study. Grace is an efficient speller, which ac- counts for her being sent down to Peirce Spelling Meet several years. And as for the works that she composes, one might mistake them for works of a much older person. Her poetry is unsurpassed in our class. She takes an especial interest in the Fresh- men romn for some reason or other, for it's there that her dreams seem to come true. Oh, yes, we know you have your eyes on ANNA LONG' HAnnn Blooming Glen, November 26, 1914 Anna Long, a quiet 'gal' Sits and dreams, but she's a pal. When pepped up, she's in the 'swimi With fun. and sense she's going to win. Whenever you see a rather tall girl walking in the direction of H. H. S. about 8 o'clock every morning, it's Ann going to absorb more school work. She not only absorbs but she contributes in the form of reports and outside readings. Give Anna notebooks, some pencils and time to think every once in a while and sheis content. One never sees Anna engaged in Athletics, but you can surely find her elsewhere in the roam meditating, either on school work or - im. She seems to be fond of Problems of Dem- ocracy as are we all! ! Anna never told us what her intentions are after graduating, but whatever it is, we hope and feel sure she'll make good. One never sees Anna sitting around engaged in gossip nor finds her speaking sarcastically of the less fortunate humanity and this is one of the greatest attributes to success. She feels that if one can't say something nice about a person, he hadn't better say anything. that certain person! Grace thinks she'd like nursing and with a strong physical make-up as Grace's we are sure she would do very well. Best wishes for success, Grace, from Class of '32. . 9
