Robert R. Abkrnethv. Hokendauqua In the little village of Hokendauqua, one September day, about nineteen years ago. was born Robert Russell Abernethy. His first ambi- tion was to grow and to this his entire energy was concentrated until he arrived at a height some- where near the seven-foot mark. After passing through the Hokendauqua public schools, he entered the Whitehall Township High School, coming to Normal in the year 1913. Here he proceeded, as well as he could, to live up to his second ambition—to run things in his own way, at his own rate. The class, seeing in him a noble lad with a praiseworthy ambition, determined to smooth the way for him and for this reason elected him class president at the beginning of senior year. From this lofty position he swayed the class by his wonderful oratory, but his whispers seem to have a greater effect than all his speeches delivered at one time can have. For ’tis said that more than one maiden sighs in vain for this tall, handsome lad who cares for none and yet likes all so well. After leaving Normal he will attend some college, to become either a Presbyterian minister or a lawyer. Calvin Eugene Afflerbach, 500 Vine St., Perkasie Here we find a jolly, but very sincere class- mate. The fact that he once desired to be called Zwingli” instead of Calvin proves that he is a great lover of the ancient Christian leaders. Without this most wonderful character in our midst the gloominess which is so mysteriously dispelled by his presence would be quite a bur- den to many of us. Because of the close relation existing between Calvin and the president of V'. W. C. A. at the time of their last bazaar, he was persuaded to be auctioneer for the remaining goods after the scheduled hour for closing the bazaar had come. In order to keep and strengthen his stronghold on Helen’s heart lie certainly did auctioneer to the best of his ability. We all feel that in the days to come we will hear nothing but good reports concerning these two characters, who undoubtedly will some day lx? known as Mr. and Mrs. Calvin E. Afflerbach. They depart from us with our best wishes for success. 2d

Mary Elizabeth Anstock, . 1016 K. Center St.. Mahanoy City “Maria was born in Mahanoy City, some- where in the nineties. She began her educa- tional career in her home town and was graduated as an honor member of the high school class of 1913. Desiring to increase her knowledge she came to K. S. N. S., where she gained many friends. Mary worships at the altar of ambition and all her energies are directed toward fulfilling her aims.

She was a faithful member of the Keystone Literary .Society, also of the V. W. C. A. She expects to teach for several years and then— well—! Ah. me! for aught that ever I could read. Could ever hear by tale or history The course of true love never did run smooth. Anna Gertrude Baer, .... Who came to this big world in the town of Oley, at least eighteen years ago, but Anna Gertrude Baer! She attended the schools of this famous city, and after completing her course there, she entered K. S. X. S. Even as a first- year scholar, Gertrude was not unknown to the hoys, and once, when in sore distress with pain- ful lips, unhesitatingly asked for tulip salve, which without doubt was willingly offered her. If we only knew of whom it was demanded. Gertrude has a strong liking for Schuylkill County, especially the town of Mincrsvilte. But we know why, when we remember how she enjoyed to “bob in and out of the rooms of fifth hall. Never mind, Gertrude, we know walks into the country and games of tennis arc attractive to any one and then—what must they mean to you and B.? Oley
