EDITH MAE XEWHARD Tis woman's charms, that lull our cares to rest. Dear woman's charms, that (five to life, its zest. Edith more often called Toddy” on account of her size, has the art of being able to play innocence. She can turn a trick without detection front her facial delineation. Edith believes in being kind to under class men (especially a Jr.) In her freshman year her ambiticn was to go to college, but she has recently decided to become a nurse. She is working hard to carry out this ambition and expects to enter the hospital as soon as she leaves X. H. S. We are sure she will succeed, as she is making a good effort and so has made a fine beginning. Best Luck is our wish to you Edith. HOWARD EREY DANKF.L For Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do.” Did Howard Frey Dankel ? I don't know whether he did, but he seems well done and in reality over-done. Although his surname is Dankel, yet we rather call him “Tangle”, for he is tangled in most everything from a girl to his own curly hair. Howard usually bears a smile from ear to ear that seems very attractive to the ladies and has allowed him to go to Coplay to shoot B. B’s. Although he has always been a night owl. yet in school he showed some undeveloped abilities. He took a great liking to shorthand, probably due to the fact that his long hand did not suit him. Xo doubt with his strong will and good head he might bump into a wall of success. —20—

GLADYS SARA MILHAM “IVhat's in a Xante f Hold your hats, here comes Windy Mil—ham . She seems well contented with the prefix Mil of her surname and never intends to part with it. Gladys can talk and talk and then talk some more and when you think she is finished she can even talk some more. She is all that can be secured in the Edison. Columbia and Victor talking machines combined and possesses an inexhaustible supply of ten cent records. Taking is by no means a fault of her's, allhough some of the teachers consider it thus, but it is in reality a remarkable talent. She was considered one of the best elocutionists of the High School and always made a favorable impression as such. Then she did not use her teti-cent records but used the three and four dollar type. It is very evident that she will be a teacher of elocution and we should be happy to have our children receive her excellent training. SAMUEL DAVID FARBER For e'en ho' vanquished, he could argue still. Samuel David Earlier (for old times sake, Sammy) was fortunate to have biblical names galore—Samuel David. Get that ? Some religious boy. Nevertheless religion and its representatives have done a great deal for the young man. Although he has a very heatlhy appearance, nature never intended him to be an athlete. But we must say, he is a great athletic fan and had actually made a gruesome effort to be a ball player. It is a ball game in itself to see Lefty Farber “pitch his head off trying to make the Varsity. He seems to oossess some undeveloped ability in his left arm and we unanimously advise him to practice slinging the dish rag to get into trim. Yet Samuel has his triumphant sphere, which Ls his intellectual and oratorical ability. He showed remarkable ability by capturing second prize at the Oratorical Contest. We either expect him to become a sales agent or a great statesman. Best Luck, Samuel David. —19—

ELSIE ANNA STETTLF.R “Belter late than never. Although Elsie lives in lower Northampton, the upper part of the city seems to have more attractions for her. She is frequently seen walking up and down Main street (alone?) Elsie is fond of athletics and plays center on the second team of our basket-ball squad. Tennis also has attractions for her. Anyone calling on Elsie, who brings chocolate candy or ice cream is sure to work himself into her good graces. LAWRENCE CLAIDEN SHOEMAKER “H'hdl have we here? A matt? Although Lawrence is a boy, we .are sometimes inclined to think differently, as his pink and white complexion is rather misleading. Lawrence tried his luck at Basket Ball, but failed, altho he did make the baseball team. He was constantly seek| ing ihe attention of the ladies, although for all bis trouble, he was not very successful, except when it came to using his p. cket knife: then he was in great demand. We feel sure he will succeed as an engineer if he can stop thinking about his complexion and girls long enough. —21 —
