I uould be friends with you and hate your love. —Merchant of Venice Hello, there! A cheery good morning to you! Such is the sudden hut expected salutation you receive, if somehow you meander to the upper floor, at the top of the girls stairway. Sure enough, there stands Miss Kistler, ready to greet you with her infectious, and disarming smile. Graduated from the school of “Home lessons on typewriter tactics,” she is now the proud possessor of a “silent” machine, (So as not to disturb the Seniors while compiling tests;) a group of willing Girl Reserves; an aquarium of goldfish; a croupy Plymouth; and a creaky cat, who must be referred to as Rusty.” Subjects: English III and IV. Graduate of : Wyoming Seminary, West Chester Normal School. Post-graduate uwfc at: Pennsylvania State College, University of Pennsylvania Graduate School. ARLINE KISTLER Speak not at all, in any wise, till you hate someuhat to speak; care not for the reward of your speaking, but simply and with undivided mind for the truth of your speaking. —Carlyle Beep, Beep! Look out! Make way— here comes Tink’s” chariot with the all-around congenial personality at the helm. This gentleman drives other things besides “chariots,” namely: his debating team in attacking current problems, assisting the baseball coach; and in his mellow moods, sits 'neath a mountain stream, reciting poetry to the finny denizens of the shallowness, in hope that some will become furious enough to froth at the gills and snap at his hook.

IRA L. SHEAFFER, Principal 2H1 Main Street Deep sighted in intelligences, ideas, atoms, influences. —Butler Due to a beaming smile, with a radiant personality, it would be hard to place Mr. Sheaffer’s picture on the space alloted here for him. Acting as impromptu student advisor, many students have been gratified to find that his acceptable manner is of a most pleasant nature, and his timely discussions on relations of individuals and future preparation point him out to be a thoroughly capable leader among young people in Senior High School. Besides knowing the nature of the young men and women with whom he comes in contact, Mr. Sheaffer has a broad and sympathetic knowledge of the plant and animal world. Quite interested in the subject of biology, he teaches classes of eager Sophomores who, if they schedule his course, orient themselves with a great deal of interest to the needs of a high school education. The dignity of this kind gentleman impresses everyone of us so that we call him affectionately “Pap.” Histones are as perfect as the Historian is wise, and is gifted uith an eye and a sold. —Carlyle “Mr. Smith’s room ?” The room at the end of the hall.” “That’s right, where you hear the laughter.” “What a ‘swell’ Hi-Y club he has!” “And don’t forget the ‘neat job’ he’s doing as faculty manager of athletics.” Expressions such as these represent in but a small degree the boyish recognition given this outstanding faculty member, Mr. Smith, for his convivial attitude, likable personality, whole-hearted sportsmanship and his ability to lead and guide youth in the classroom, Hi-Y Club, and on the athletic field. Do you wonder where he has cultured these unusual qualities of character? Well, we’ll tell you, . . . trout fishing! Subjects: History, Problems of Democracy. Qraduate of : Northampton Senior High School, Keystone State Teachers College, Muhlenberg College. Graduate work at: Columbia University, Penn State. RALPH F. SMITH Science and art belong to the u hole world, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality. —Goethe After a blackboard performance of problems in geometry or algebra and the chalk dust has settled in the small mathematics room, the smiling countenance of Mr. Fegely is seen. This “Jack of all trades and master of many is as much at heme in his class room, printshop, and laboratory as he is in the small “tink-ershop” at his home in Maxatawny. Scientific and mathematical problems are the chief but not sole interests of “Al.” He has a definite inclination toward music, being able to play the piano and organ. The printing of this annual speaks well of another of his interests. Subjects: Physics, Plane Qeometry, Solid Geometry, Algebra, Printing, Trigonometry. Graduate of: Keystone State Teachers College, Franklin and Marshall College. ALVIN N. FEGELY

Men, even when alone, lighten their labor by song however rude it may he. —Quintilian Easy now easy! Don’t be frightened by that booming voice that echoes in the hallway. Mr. Ronemus is in a humorous mood telling the kind of jokes Seniors tind laughable in there commercial classes. Even while he is teaching under-class mates his strong voice pierces the walls of classrooms; yet how sweet this tenor voice becomes in song! Step up to him and you will be greeted with a smile that folds his chin. He is quick in his responses and genially alert in his ability to plan window decorations and direct a chorus of boys. Subjects: Commercial Geography, Bookkeeping, Commercial Law, Commercial Arithmetic, Advertising and Window Decorating. Qrad-uate of : Temple University. Post-graduate workat: Muhlenberg College, Temple University, Penn State College. Self -confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings. —Samuel Johnson Here we have a small, amiable, Welsh woman who is intensely interested in the finer things of life. Besides making clothes, beautiful in their simplicity, Miss Roberts, is an excellent conversationalist. With the vast store of knowledge which she derives from books, furthering the intellect, and from travels, she can hold you spellbound for many an evening relating her experiences in the New England States, where people are cold and aloof, to the warm southern states where people are hospitable and genuinely courteous. Subjects: Sewing. Graduate of: Keystone State Teachers College. Post-gradtuite wttrk at: Muhlenberg College, Columbia University. ELEANOR ROBERTS Blasen ist nicht floeten, ihr muesst die finger bewegen. (To blow is not to play on the flute; you must move the fingers) —Goethe Ambitious, carefree, jovial, these are but few of the adjectives describing this little gentleman. But he, too, has his “melancholy” mood in which he directs the orchestra and band in the absence of the conductor; takes charge of musical equipment. Besides his heavy curriculum schedule; he tutors the new members of the band in the art of handling instruments. We hope he will continue to keep our school in tune, with his scintillating humor and refreshing vigor. Subjects: German, English. Graduate of: Muhlenberg College. Postgraduate work at: Lehigh University, Temple University, EDWIN BERG
