Rowland Wii.bur Brown, R. D. No. i, Weissport. On that fair May morn, Rowland Wilbur was born. Who would think that Carbon County could produce a V. M. C. A. president? Weatherly has the honor of his presence as a youngster, but Weissport claims him now. Weiss- port High School will ever be proud to say that he graduated from her school. lie received the mantle for our class from 1910 class. Me expects to teach, which is due, we think, to his great love for the “youth’' of this land. He expects to enter college after teaching and specialize in the natural sciences—botany, of course, as he used to study violets and other “specimens” along the well-beaten path to the “cross-roads,” and zoology, for he studied the birds on the large campus. It is no joke that Brown is not altogether free from Cupid’s dart, as we used to think, for his favorite article in conveying food is the spoon (Spohn). He has our best wishes for success, and we think we already see him as a professor in some college. Yes, Rowland, your Alma Mater will be proud ofj'you. He was a faithful member of Philo. Helen Katherine Buck, • . . . . . . Catasauqua. Helen Katherine Buck, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Buck, first saw the light of day at Shelley, Bucks County, Pa. After enjoying exceptional popularity among her childhood companions, which was due to her sunny dis- position, she entered the grade schools of Cata- sauqua, from which she graduated in 1909. Following her graduation she passed the examina- tions to enter the Middle Class at the Keystone State Normal School. Here, both in her classes and among her classmates, she has always displayed that sunny disposition which for- tunately cropped out in her childhood. She, no doubt, is a strong advocate of the adage, Laugh and the world laughs with you.” After her graduation from this institution, Miss Buck expects to make teaching her profession. She is a member of the Keystone Literary Society. Best wishes for success and continuation of that beneficent smile. 24

Harriet May Boyer, “Smiling Hattie,” the daughter of Charles A. and Emma Boyer, was born at Trcxlertown, Lehigh County, in 1892. She attended the public schools there until 1903, when her parents took her to Tatamy, Northampton County. Here she attended the public schools until she entered Keystone Normal, where she became a member of Keystone Society. Hattie is well known by all of the day students, and no matter how the weather is, she always has a smile for everybody. If more of us would let that be our motto, as Hattie does, the world would seem a great deal brighter. Hattie expects to teach next year, and we all know that she will win the children’s love, the first session; for, as she and others before her have said, “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Edward Ambrose Brady, .... Edward Ambrose Brady claims Minersvillc, Schuylkill County, as his home since December 7, 1892. He was educated in his home town until during his sophomore year at High School, when he decided to continue his mental develop- ment at the Keystone State Normal School. At this place he was a member of the Keystone Literary Society. In the fall of his senior year Edward played a fine baseball game in center field, but the next spring he decided to drop base- ball on account of his other work. He wishes to enter University of Pennsylvania to finish his school education after leaving the Normal. “Ed” comes from among the coal regions, but he takes interest in the Berks County Field and Play Picnic founder’s daughter. He always thinks of “Rapp” when he knocks at the door while visiting. He is always welcome. 23

Emory Adam Buffington, When the bugle sounded the You can't get ’em up,” on the cold bitter morning of December 24, 1889, there was a new voice to answer to the roll call and one more entry to be made in the log-book of the Buffingtons. This bright-eyed Emery first saw the light of day in Valley View, Schuylkill County. 1 le attended different schools of that j)lace, also was a student of Ilegins High School. In 1908 he came to Keystone State Normal, joined Keystone Society, and, as a result, was an anniversary speaker. His future has been predicted as a bright one, as he expects to be a civil engineer, and we trust that lie will be at the head of his chain. Florence Mildred Christman, Here comes Florence Mildred Christman, the giggle of New Building. This young lady made her advent into this world at the insignificant place of Host about twenty-three years ago. Her giggle is always heard, and the girls declare she has an abscess on the brain. I11 connection with her giggle she is a great fuss, changing her dress at least six times a day. At present Floss” is afraid that she will not get up town in the evening in time to play tennis with Patty.” 25
