LEOTA GRACE NEW HARD “Patrons and fellow classmates. am to disclose wonders.” One of the wonders of our school is Leotn. She was brought up in Northampton and this probably accounts for her good health and spirits. She belonged to our Basket-ball Team, which is in itself a praise of her merit, and although she did not score any goals in this game, she was successful in scoring in some other games. The Orchestra also has always valued her services as one of the pianoists. Leota is inclined to take things as they come and has a cheerful outlook on life and therefore will succeed. RUSSELL WOLFE KERN “There is a gift beyond the reach of art,—• of being eloquently silent Russell belongs to the Country Club”, that is, this lad hails from Kreidersville. He is noted among us for several things. First as a musician, he surely can make a piano give forth harmonious melodies. Probably this fact is the cause for his superiority over all his classmates (and former W H. S. graduates) in typewriting, which is his second noted specialty. He has attained the speed record of 74 words a minute. But with these characteristics, Russell has been somewhat shy and rather quiet. However his shyness seems to be disintegrating towards the end of the course. Russell thinks his destiny is to be a stenographer. Ottr best wishes for success. -•26-

RUTH HARTZ G AX GW HR Giggle and the world giggles with you. Gangway, here conies Miss Gangwer. Her “cloudy” expression hails from Weatherly and the simultaneous giggle probably from the nitrous oxide (laughing gas) found in the coal mines. Although she seldom has this cloudy expression, nevertheless we would rather see her with it than without, for when she giggles the only way to stop her is to scare her to death or tell her something that will make her cross: the former method has often been used to some avail, yet the latter has proven itself the better remedy. Whenever there is a noise in High School she is in the vicinity—looking innocent. In the lab. she seems very fond of accidentally pouring away prepared solutions and acids to show her house keeping ability in washing glass ware. Her ambition is to join the Grand Army of 1 eachers. Can you imagine her telling her pupils how good she was when she was a dear little school girl: The best of luck be her’s. HAROLD AMOS FREY “Cupid “As long as his name is short. Well! Well! Here we are. the matchmaker of the class. Harold tried to play basket-ball, but did not succeed very well because his feet were always getting in his way. We thought that it Harold kept on going to school for about live years, thev would at last turn out a sport, but we all had something of a shock when we went for a sleighing party. Cupid” is quite a good Commercial student and some day we hope to see him sitting at a schoolmaster’s desk. (Only watch your feet. Harold.)

ELLEN CHRISTINE HESS And then she would talk. Oh my, how she would talk. Ellen always held true to her motto. She was studious enough, but somehow always had a little difficulty with German. One day in translating she brought a surprise home” instead of bringing a bride home. She was very fond of carrying on a conversation with Howard and. to his great sorrow, he had his seat changed. We never quite knew who it was Ellen was saving her kisses for, but some day she’ll surprise us. Success Ellen. CLARA LOUISE HOAGLAND “She looks quiet, hut oh my! Clara always was a quiet little girl taking things as they came. At speaking she was great, having won a prize at our oratorical contest. Bu: when boys and duty clash, then let duty go to smash. was her motto. Neither teachers or school mates could persuade her to study after she had once set her mind upon certain attractions not in her High School course. You should have behaved better Clarissa”. -27-
