VICTOR JEHOSEPHAT GRATIAS lfvicll Perkasie, R. D. 2, February 1, 1915 Whether a fheckerboard or Magazine, Victor is a ways on the scene. Activities: Educatin' Mary, lg Peirce Spelling Contest, 2, 43 'aHe's My Pal, 4g Vice President of Class, 3, 43 Business Man- ager of Echo, 43 Chaplain, 43 B. C. l. M., 3, 4. 'iVic',, as he is best known, is a friend and pal to everyone. If one hears a wise saying uttered after the teacher has made a statement, one can rest assured 1t's Victor at the other end. Victor doesn't take much interest in Ath- letics, but can he spell? This accounts for his several trips to Peirce Business College for the Annual Spellinff Contest. Women don't set-iam to interest Victor very much, hut one can never tell-the tide may change, some day. Victor is the big boy of our class, having the distinction of being 6 feet 1 inch tall. He rather bemoans this fact, because the job oi pulling down window shades or getting something from a rather high shelf, always falls to him. When it comes to deep thinking, UVic is right there. We are certain that some day he'll be a great lawyer or something like that. However, this doesn't seem to be his aim. He is thinking of taking up chemical engineering. May success be yours, Victor, in whatever Held you plan to excel. MABEL A. WENGER Perkasie, R. D. No. 2, April 10, 1914 If you want to meet someone cheerful and sweet, Go see Mabel, .vhe's a treat! Activities: 'lliducatin' Mary, lg News- paper Reporter, 1, 25 Class Reporter for 'iEcho, 1, 2, 3g Literary Editor for i'Echo, 4g Clee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4g Librarian, 1, 21 Assistant Class Secretary, l, 2, 3g Secretary of Literary Society, 3g Operetta, 33 'LHe's My Pal, 4g Basket Ball, 4: Censor for Literary Society, 4g B. C. I. M., 3, 4. Mabel has come from all parts of the U. S. - Cosmopolitan is the word, I think. Yes, that's right, I found it in my dictionary. She took her first breath in Indiana and has lived in Louisiana and different parts of Pennsyl- vania. Ambition, intelligence and vocal talent: all these are possessed by Mabel, who has used them to a good advantage. When Mabel's eyes sparkle with a mis- chievous gleam you know she is going to tease someone, but then, she has to take her share of teasing, too. One of the nicest things about Mabel is her cheerful, friendly smile, and a very active worker is she, too. Her classmates have realized her dependability by appointing her Liter- ary Editor, which is by no means an easy job. But hard jobs are Mahel's specialty, she can handle them so easily. Mabel is interested in Home Economics, and if opportunity permits, she'd like to take at course in it. Well, Mabel, here's wishing you the best of luck! ll

She is very serious and studious riu all school work, but when you get her mind off of lessons she is a most in- teresting and fun loving girl. Eleanor is an athlete thru and thru. She is our crack forward of the Basket Ball Team and has been our Captain for two successive seasons. Ask Eleanor if she likes to write poetly or essays! She likes History and Trig. a lot better, she says. She's another of our deep thinkers, but don't think too hard, Elly, l have heard it said that it's not good for one, or -- it might not be. Hilltown High School will certainly miss Illeanor, but its loss will be West Chester's gain, for she intends to take up elementary teaching at that College. Here's luck to you, Eleanor who have prov- en yourself a real friend and pal. Farewell! Captain Elly! LAURA E. SHRIVER Fair Hill, Januaryf17, 1915 Laura Shriver is an efficient Miss, To be useful and busy for ber is bliss. Activities, He's My Pal, 4-g Educatin' Mary, lg Librarian, 2. Laura is one of the small girls of our Class, small in stature but not small in mind. She certainly can recite! And can she ,write and compose stories and essays? Well, she's just talented, that's all. We.ha ious girl and quiet girl, but she certainly did take her part well in the play indicating that she has also some talent in other lines. Although she has not shown her abilities in Athletics, she has shown them in her school work, a very good student. finishing school, Laura wishes to en- noble work to humanity as a nurse, ve always known Laura to be a stud- After ter the We are sure that such a self-reliant, likeable lady as Laura, will succeed in her conquest of life's difficulties.

Milton doesn't believe in spending all of his time studying. He spends a lot of his spare time at the home of a certain Junior. Milton is very good in dramatics and was chosen to take one of the leading parts in He's My Pal, our Senior play. He has also proven himself a leader, having been chosen President of the Student Council and the first President of the Literary Soci- ety. Milton intends to continue his education at Penn State, but we're sure heill succeed if it's anything besides spelling. I believe he'd make good at shorthand. He hates to write and art. He plays the drum in the orchestru uso low', that you canlt hear them, either! make Nwhoopeeu? But Betty is a deep thinker md recreation for 1 busy intellect IS neces sary, you know.
