MABLE FLORENCE SIIEETZ Maiden with dafrk brown eyes, In whose orbs avshadow lies, Like in dusk the evening skies! We now have the great opportunity of intro- ducing the talkative and jolly Mable. During her four years she made good use of her time. She is a very studious girl, spending most of her time studying. Her spare moments are spent in teasing and worrying others. The sporting blood in Mable runs very strong- ly and she has 'missed but a few of our Basket Ball gamesg and then only when otherwise cn- gaged-usually in eating. She has great vocal ability and can be heard a great distance. Her favorite songs are: Merry Life and Home, Sweet Home. Whatever may be her walk of life, the mem- bers of the class of 1920 wish hor success ' and happiness. it PA UL WIEA ND , Y-Y ..W..,..- . ,f-..-, The raucous calls of klaxons, the roar of engines and the reek of earbonized gas and oil, all these are the very breath of life to P. E. W. Second to a bicycle, with which he surely ' can make knots, the Hnpmobilc is the idol of Panl's existence. An active life of industrial work is open before him, for already he has offers from some of the leading automobile firms of the country. VVieand's favorite branch is chemistry, where he is become renowned L thruout his class because of his romantic Way ' of treating the subject. Really, by him, prosaic, dry and realistic chemistry has been transmuted into a. fairyland of revelations, strange and exciting. He is a. stieker and an unfailing I' friend in need, and, Hast heard what lVieand said? is the phrase most used in class affairs. But above all, laying aside all technical talents, his debonair and smiling ways have made Vifieand famous for his wondrous powers of fascination over the deadlier sex.

BICSSIE MAE NICHOLAS Commercial Bessie is a Jazz Baby. Doesn't she look like one? What is more she can sing and trill a trill that would make Galli-Curci feel sick. She sings orclinary songs too, like Charlie is my darling and On the old front porch, Oh, Charlie, Charlie, on the old front porch--. 'You know all singers sing some plain songs. The only way to get Bessie peevcd is to tell her she looks like a block of ice cream. and then she gets a mad on for a while. But she forgets it when she plays Basket-ball. She 'S some player! You know she is heavy, and those players are always clrearlefl by opponents. Anil new for the things that make Bessie fat! She likes dates-she is simply wild about THEM. One of her beauty marks is her red cheeks, but then, mliflnlt we hear her say, Hold on the health and be happy? ALEXA VD! I? II 1MII TON 1 FDKO We have heie a quiet and 1no1le.,t iepicsenta tive of our local institution. The above state- ment does not always hold true for him, for at times he comes upon us with 110iS6 and mirth, much to the disgust of the teachers. His chief ambition as to the future seems to be his desire to become a Railway Mail clerk. Among his talents, music is by no means the least con- spicuous, for he plays the elarinet and has aspirations to be able some day to control the sounds of a saxouhone. P1-alctieing on the clarinet along the Sunny Lehigh, Alex has pro- mlueed some wieril tones and if he ever owns a. saxophone, he should be banished from this our fair eountry, but let 's hope for the best. Alex was also a member of the famous senior basket-ball team, and we sometimes thought he concealed a horse shoe about himself after some of his fine shots. AMI 1 I NNTAN, '20 T-wevzfy-sevwz 5
