Senior Class History o Men may conic and men may go, But go on forci'er. O the poet pictured the pretty brook, whose waters ever sparkled forth from a perennial fountain. And so we, the members of the class of 1916 must also go forth and join the stream which tne tormer graduates of our Alma Mater have helped, for many a year, to swell to ever increasing proportions. .Not all tile waters of the spring flow down the stream, but much is wasted by leakage and absorption of the fountain-head. So not all of the original class of 1916 as constituted four years ago. upon our entrance in the dear halls of our High School, can now lx counted among those who graduate. Then we were fifty in number; but in the course of four years we dwindled down to twenty-eight. And as streams of waters flow not only from the fountain-head, but are augmented from many another source, so we. luckily, had our diminished numbers increased at the beginning of our last year’s school term by seven favorite daughters and sons of our sister Borough Coplay, making us thirty-five strong, the largest class ever graduated from our High School. While all the wavelets in the bosom of the stream have their peculiar beauty and brightness, yet they all vary in strength and sparkling sheen, and some few notably so. And so the class of 19ib has not one dull member or weakling amongst its number. Yet here and there are some who already have shone in valor of brawn and mental agility, whose sparkling splendor wc take pride to display. 1 here are Russell Kern and Foster Weitknecht, who have won fame by writing sixty words a minute on the Underwood typewriter and have received credentials. Our six-footer, Leo Costello, has made himself the hero of our Basket Ball cage by his good work as center. Of meritorius mention is the work of Hobart Farber in the same athletic sport. Ruth Semmel and Leota New hard are the great pianists and also did good work as guards on the Basket Ball team. But lack of space forbids us to enumerate the many points of worth which the members of our class have acquired under the faithful tutelage of our good teachers. We have faith in the members of 1916 and we are sure that their present worth, bright as it is, will become even more enhanced as years go on, even as the waters of a stream become deeper and more powerful as they flow along the course which Providence, ages ago, has determined.

THE SENIOR CLASS O Class Motto—“Impossible is Unamerican” Class Colors—Navy Blue and Old Gold Class Flower—Sweetheart Rose O Officers Hobart Amory Farber, President Emma Odenwelder Boyer, Secretary Earl Stanley Hawk, Treasurer HOBART AMORY FARBER “IIV know that with the Indies, He's always raisin ) Hades. Isn't he good-looking! The girls all answer this question with gasps of admiration, for there's no denying it. Hobie is some lady-fusser and is the school pet, even if he isn’t the teacher’s. He tried hard to shark it in Virgil, but really we think his pony must have gone lame or else he got one of a wrong pedigree. But nevermind, Hobart, you really could play Basket Ball and we feel confident that you will succeed in your chosen profession. —12—
