STELLA LUCINDA RODENBACH (PERPETUAL MOTION) “I live to talk all day Ion?. As it might help me along.” Stella Lucinda absolutely refuses to believe that there is any truth in the motto “Silenca is golden”. The only time she is partly quiet is when she is working Trig, problems (which by the way is her favorite study) an I even then she talks when she counts on her fingers to get a problem which won’t come out, although the answers in the back of the book help a lot. Stella uses the expression ‘‘Nothing stirring” ' uite often, which sounds out of place, because there really is always something stirring when she’s around. Not that she talks, or does anv-thing, Oh No!!! Stella’s future desire is to start an office all by herself to give advice to the love lorn until ---? RALPH ERASMUS BARTHOLOMEW “BUFF” “A good cigar is a smoke. But a woman is only a joke.” Look! Look! What we have captured! He is not very good in his studies, but he is some rreat orator. Why honestly, he won second prize in the Oratorical Contest. Hip! Hip! Hooray! He was also the gallant cheer leader of the N. H. S. and gained the good side of some of the prominent lassies of the school. He frequently goes to Laury’s, — to Harry Young. (???) He was always the most prominent fellow at the class parties. He expects to become the janitor at the Allentown College for Women. —23—

MARGARET JONES (JONESY) Here is one of the most populir members of our class, hailing all the way from Weavers-ville. Margaret is a good, quiet girl ml is very prominent in social circles, bein; a prominent member of the Weaversville Country Club. One of her chief hobbies is getting up early. During the winter she comes to school on Number 11, the fast morning express runnin; between Northampton and Bath and on the Northampton and Bath Railroad, leaving Weaversville 6.20 A. M. and arriving at Northampton 6.30 A. M. Margaret’s desire is to become a school-marm. PAUL MARVIN RAUB Silent, but oh my. He sure is some guy. Rauby sure is some good looking fellow,” so the girls say and he gets pretty far with his good looks. The right side of the road from Northampton to Howertown is certainly a good path, for it took Rauby four years to construct it. His hobbies are, coming to school late, training his “plug” for the race-track or singing some old songs accompanied with his bones, with which he made a hit at the minstrel, held in H. S. for the Glee Club. He is a member of the Hopeless Three, (R. W. D.) His nightly wanderings through the country have won him a wide reputation as a “night owi”. His haunts take him to Hatch Gravel. Irish Settlement and Kreidersville. At the latter place he is trying to get a position as sales agent for farm implements. His ambition for the future is to be chief draftsman at some large drafting department. Beware, don’t become a grafter instead of a drafter.

MIRIAM ELIZABETH KLEPPINGER “MIM” A student, good and steadfast friend Was our Mini right to the end. Here you see “Mira Kleppinger. who in her sweet timidity was dear to one and all. Ready to help, no matter how rushed, ready to sym-pathi?e with anyone no matter what the misfortune might be, and always ready to have a good time, this is our “Mim . However, to tease her is to get into great trouble, for Mim does not like her blushes to be seen. Her favorite password is I hope not . Ask her its origin and I'm sure you will be amused with her answer. This summer will probably find Mim a successful stenographer.
