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,

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

irflihni LILLIA N DILLIA RD Some are popular for one thing, others for another thing, but Lilly is popular with all and everywhere because she is Lillian Dilliard. She is an A No. 1 sport and a thorough-bred. Among the many offices which she holds with distinction among the girls is that of Class COIIIIIIGIHGIIHS. Lilly and her Smile are insep- arable. But to the public this maiden is known mainly for one thing-basketball. If we live to bc as old as Methusla. Qwhich is quite un- likelyl we will always hold in our mind 'S vision the many battles of 1920's star center. We will always see her, in a skirmish of the game, or rushing out of a Catasauqua Clinchll with the lball held aloft, and screaming at the top of her voice to her eo-mates in the game. Thus forever after, when N. N. S. shall have grown mellow with age, and we of 1920 shall, perhaps, be Fitting cheek by jowl, wrapped up in shawls in invalids chairs, muttering. Them was the days! tradition, rising fresh in our hearts will tell of the Past and of Lilly, the Amazon of the Cage. II. YETIL Who is this noted personage?-Shrimp Yehl, Esq., City of Laury's. Tootie is not much of a. whale at his lessons but when it comes to telegraphy and manual training this son-of- a railroader becomes one of the bright lights. If Tootie keeps up the good work, he might be able to make some of these sharks in tele- graphy look like a. crowd of pikers. Here 's to your future Tootie.-What?-Why ask such a foolish question?
