RETTA MI3f1dHl'A WEITKNECIIT During her High Sehool course Retta has proven herself a remarkably :tudious girl. Betta e::p2ets to furihsr her education upon leaving N. H. S. Sueeess is :ure to follow her in whatever she may choose to undertake. As our first elass treasurer she has proven hor value. When the Le Perle staff nas in need of an Assoeiale Literary Editor, Retta showed herself ably fitted for the work. She is valued ns a student, worker aequaintnnee and friend by all. i..l Pan was our first class president. He dis eharged his duties of the office in a praise- worthy manner. As a basket ball player he has served our elass for two years and our Alina Mater Varsi- ty for an equal period of time. His varied athletic' career has taught him the ins and outs of playing all the positions on the team and he is as good at one position as at the other. Now ' ' Pauline has a great weakness for the female sex and dancing-nothing strange, is it? Some of you fellows-don't get too jealous. Besides being one of our High Orehestrals noted violinists, his sweet bass voiee can plain- ly be heard in the heavenly harmony uttered by the noted aggregation-the Senior Oetette.

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

MILDRED WA RNCKE The period bell has rung, students throng the hall in murmuring groups. Suddenly there sounds a laugh, a rippling, fullehested laugh, trilling down from the upper oetavesg there is the sound of solid tread of leather upon marble, -a whirlwind of chaos,-and-well that is Mil- dred. It could be no other. Living in wild and windy Treiehlers, Mildred 's idiosynerasies, so highly interesting. have no doubt, been in- fluenced by hererural surroundings. Like all good students, for Milly is a leading pupil, this girlie's pastimes take a distinctive form. For instance Cyou may believe this or not, dear Readerj Mildred 's favorite outdoor sport is evening cross-country hiking and moon-gazing. We can imagine, having already experienced it, the romance of the scene-the highway, white in the moonlight, the evening mists rising from the ditches along the road, where the crickets Ucrickf' and all the time the big, round moon hanging up there dodging clouds and looking for all the world like a floating cheese. Ro- rnanee indeed! Since Mildred plans a profes- sional eareer at West Chester, her school studies will undoubtedly help her greatly. Perhaps, tho, there is a pedagogical value in moon-gazing after all, unseen by the novices. We think there is. ROBERT PIIIFER Here we have him. Robert J. Phifer. Bobby is one of our noted Coplay representatives. Now since he is S0 afraid that we will pull off some hot stuff about him we will ease his mind by saying, I'llll'1ll,S the word.-realm yourself, calm yourself-What?--Oh, yes, we 'll remember, Mum's the word. Sawing violin strings is one of his favorite occupations and singing on the Coplay church ehoir is another. Besides being High 's famous violinist he is High 's biggest nut. As a debater and orator he has proved his worth in the inter-Class debate-convineing'?-- Why he can 'make you believe that blaek is white. He also took part in the senior class vla . I Slbme day we hope you may be eharmed by his music and oratory. Twenty AMPTENNILXN, '20
