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

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.

Carter Glass, High's famous mathematician, The motto of Sam Inertia is, What 'S the use of worrying? lf Sleepy would apply himself a little more he would become a human wonder-but of course., what's the use?-that would take all the pleasure out of life. However, Glassy is a good all-round fellow, ready to argue with anyone at anytime and though vanquished, he can argue still. As a High rooter at the basket-ball games he yells with all his might at the right time and also occasionally at the wrong time. i - '20 Twenty-one AMI '1 ENNIAN,
