MARION SYLVIA SCIIEETZ Always early, never latwthat seems to be her motto. Sometimes despondent, usually cheery, she can easily be recognized by her giggle and her heavy footsteps. She is quite a basket-ball player, and has been n member of the varsity team for three seasons. She is also able to play the piano quite well, and perhaps that accounts for her having so many admirers, even if they do come a great distance to hear her. She is one of the most prominent girls of the class, and is quite a worker. As a member of the Campfire organization, she is one of its strong supporters. She at one time was secretary of our literary society, and she fully rewarded us by good service for he- stowing the honor upon her, AARON TIICJIM1N N7 WII41lD AMPTENNIAN, '20 Our illustrious class presuluit he hold. Phe picture of innocence and bliss, but still waters run deep. As the son of an undertaker he deems it wise to boost a languishing business, and to this end his futher has kindly provided him with two flivvers.-dangerous vehicles at all times. If a honk, a rattle, and a bang is heard in the street outside the school, we know the source. As an artist-he has the temperament but it is not very productive. The Latin teacher has recently advised him to write Views from a Pony, and we are daily antie- ipating its appearance. He does not believe in studying much. for it demoralizes the brain UID, but hc is quite a genius in decorating our stage, and has proved himself valuable by his artistic ability many times. He recently de- cided to become a pharmacist and we hope he will be able to fill our prescriptions in the future. Seventeen

LEILA KELLER Few have ever solved the sphinx-like smile on the features of this lass. Seine say it comes from unworldlinessg perhaps it does. But Leila lives far out in a district skirting the wilds known as Kreidersville, and daily comes to school by the primitive method of walking. Perhaps this explains the healthy bloom on her cheeks and that .s m.ile. Think of the long country miles whiclfshe daily traverses. Alone with herself, there come meditations and thoughts, this we believe to be the solution of the smile that won't come off. But miles of meditation have had other effects upon her. The jollity has been diffused thruout the Class and all have seen what a wonderful hostess this maid can be at will. Ill the annals of our Class that are written in invisible ink, there still stand wonderful tales of neighboring grist-mills, cider jugs stored on spring-house shelves and rides in the darkness, all of which is incomprehensible to the general reader with- out imagination, but are richly reminiscent to ll S. WILLIAM A ARON REYER None but himself can lm his pa.wz.lZnl. Yes, this is Billy, from Sassy Hill. He was very quiet until his Junior year, for now he says: Es is nimmy Wie es war els. Billy is endowed with the capabilities which will make him prominent and successful in life as a Governor of Pennsylvania. As a speaker he used his gift of oratory and eloquence in capturing first prize in the Oratorical Contest. Billy completes the triangle of class come- dians, Aaron and Harold being the other angles. He is full of enthusiasm when it comes to studying Latin, he delights in spending hours translating ittilj. He has a great determination as was proved by leading the Cadillac axle deep into the mud while taking a joy ride, but he was bound to get on the level. We know all about it. He expects to go to college to complete his education and present indications warrant the prophecy that he will rank high as a civil en- gmeer. S'ffDf01'll Aw TFNIXJ KN 20

VERNA KENNEDY She floats into our vision on the syneopatefl strains of Terpischore, and sweeping by, Vanish- es eniginatieally almost before we can form our estimates. Freeze a sunbeam, climb the are of the rainbowg but seek not to plumb the depths of this maid 's mind. Bursting and over- flowing with little idiosynerasies, she is one of the best comrades and pals. Her knowledge of psychological inspiration is miraculous. She has been seen to so spiritually influence the artistic temperanients of our Bohemians that certain of our artists Qeartoonistsj ordinarily inclined to sluggishness have produced works for our publieations that seemed born or driven out by mental steam power. Verna has been a wonderful influence among our class members, and, altho prognosties are tieklish affairs, we may say that we see for her a promising future. ALFRED DA., ID FOLLWEILER Alfred David-one of the pampered sons of the class of 1920, famous for his Cheshire Cat Grin! lf bluffing made great men, Folly wouldn 't have been with us since our Freshman year. But QI. said t'if for Alfred is a very practical fellow l'll have you know. He can talk, and impress more in one period than Tooty and NVieand can in one day. -Doughnuts has a good many excellent qualities but space will only allow me to name the -most important. I-Ie is a. good speaker a good leader, a good violinist, a good fellow and a good sport. Who can remember the time Alf did not display able sportsmanship when things went his way and who can remember some of the things he said when they didn't go his way? Alfred is an idealist-and if you can picture him away up in the North woods in a hut, with a St. Bernard dog and a pipe-whose smoke reveals things not to be printed-then you have a picture of his highest ideal realized-that of woodsman. Good luck, Folly, and plenty of it! Eighteen AMP'rENN1..xN. '20
