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-

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 VIOLA SCHLAFFER Are there any more at home like youf Tootsie was a quiet little girl when she first arrived at X. H. S. with the Coplay “bunch”, but after she got acquainted, her timidness wore off and she would talk and giggle until we were compelled to ask her to stop. Ruth took a great fancy to the Juniors, it seems and one of her favorite expressions while in their company was “Oh J. A. B.!” She expects to go to Kutztown and we hope she can teach the Golden Rule to the Kid dies better than she herself ever pretended to understand it. EILEEX LOIS KRAMER Good hlou's the wind that profits everybody.” Thus it was, that a good wind blew Eileen across the Lehigh river to our school. We are glad to have her among our number. Her cheery smile is ever welcome. Her rosy cheeks serve as an attraction for many under class mates, especially Juniors. Eileen is a good student, al ways willing to lend a helping hand. Lately she has become interested in Tennis and is rapidly progressing in the game. When she plays the score is Jx ve” for a long time. We wonder why? But nevertheless, we wish Eileen a happy and successful future. —28—
