CLAIRE BROGAN November 29, 1919 Broggie Philadelphia, Pa. COMMERCIAL Ambition : Stenographer. Motto: “We pass tor what we are.” Claire is undoubtedly among the most modern girls of the class. Her poise, humor, and manner of dress give her an attrac- tive personality. She is always “up” on all the modern dances and is known to be quite giddy at times. She must have a lot of boyfriends at home about whom we have never heard. Her “come-hither” smile makes her so well liked that she will surely make a charming secretary to someone. Year Book Staff, ’58; Basketball, ' 34. WILLIAM CLEMENTS August 20, 1919 BILL Charlottesville, Va. GENERAL Ambition: Pharmacist. Motto: “Live and learn to serve.” Is it “Bilks” Southern drawl or his ability to slay them that makes him so popular with the women? His popularity with the women is not his only asset, however, for his good humor has made him popular with all his classmates, and his all -’round ath- letic ability has brought us many victories.

She reminds us of “Elmer, the door-to-door salesman.” Whenever there are tickets to sell or donations to be collected, Marie takes the cake. “Dilly is characterized by her attitude of a go-getter. If she carries this into the future, there is nothing but success before her.

NORMA LORETTA GRIFFIN Norm Chester, Pa. April 21, 1921 COMMERCIAL Ambition: News Reporter. j( Motto: “He who sitteth on a tack shall rise. Though Norma is the baby of the class she lacks nothing ol wit, humor, or personality. 1 his small child s burning ambition is to sign her name at the bottom of an article in one ol our lead- ing newspapers. Here’s luck to you, Norma, and we know you II make the grade— if Hollywood doesn’t get hold ol you first lor vour clever imitations ol Garbo and Martha Raye.

GUSTAVS August 23, 1919 Gussie West Philadelphia, Pa. GENERAL Ambition: Secretary in a dancing studio. Motto: “The sooner the start, the quicker the finish. “Gussie” is the terpsichorean artist ol the Senior Class. She is responsible lor teaching us how to do the “Big Apple.’ Gus- sie” devotes every Tuesday and Saturday, night to her dancing, but she still finds time to be an honor roll student. We sincerely wish her luck in her chosen profession, and we know she will truck” her way to success.

ELMER RANCK HANCOCK August 8, 1920 Pittsburgh, Pa. ACADEMIC Ambition: Civil Engineer. Motto: “If you can’t take pari in a sport, well, be one anyway.” Elmer, one of the most active members of the class, is one of our two academic students. He has taken part in all athletics during his four years ol high school. We re certain that such an all-’round training should prove an asset to him in college circles.

FRANCES HARTIN July 12, 1920 Fran Edgemont, Pa. commercial Ambition: Interior Decorator. Motto: “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Although “Fran” took the Commercial Course in high school, we think that her ability lies elsewhere. Whether or not she will become an Interior Decorator or make Home Economics her vo- cation, it is not for us to say; but we feel sure that she will make a success ol anything she undertakes.
