7 ie Ca ?crse0 ; Grace Rankin Grace Philo Y. W. C. A. Grace is pleasant and friendly toward all. She never worries but takes life as it comes. In the class-room when called upon for recita- tions, she assumes a very ferocious look, either to frighten the teacher or because the labor of thinking is so great. Francie Reynolds Donora, Pa. France German Club; Clio Orator; Two Little Rebels. A form more fair, a face more sweet Ne ' er hath been my lot to meet. France wears an expression of seriousness but withal is well aware that too much study is a weariness to the fiesh. As an orator she ranks high. May she be enrolled among the notables in the oratorical field, is our wish. Esther E. Rhoades Mount Pleasan t, Pa. Essie Clio; Latin Club; Y. W. C. A.; Secretary Athletic Association; Calnorsean Board. As pure in thought as the angeles are, To know her is to love her. Essie lives in the vicinity of Paradise Alley, but was never known to leave her room in study hour. It is rumored that she has attended late feasts, however. All her spare time is devoted to sweeping her room, and to lending her sympathetic ear to the woes of her friends. 57

j e Co ?crjea ; Eleanor M. Philips Finleyville, Pa. Reddy Philo Society; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet; German Club. Reddy for some reason does not have much to say. When it comes to German she shines, but that is not the only time. She is one of our best students and we certainly feel proud to have her a member of the Class of 1917. Sarah H. Philips Library, Pa. Pose Blue eyes so brightly dancing She ' s a maid that ' s most entrancing. This little lady is best known to C.N.S. as Posy. She has been with us for two years and not only will the seniors hate to part with her but the under classmen too will miss her help and advice. Pose makes many little week-end trips home, but then who wouldn ' t want to see Papa and Mamma? But does that explain her diamond lavalliere or does that tell why she studies W. J. catalogs so industri- ously? Theodore Phillips California, Pa. Tedo Philo. Tedo came to us after graduating from California High School, altho his earlier educa- tion was received in our training department. The most striking feature about Tedo is his eyes. Frequently you hear a pretty Miss in the hall say, My, I think Tedo has wonderful eyes. He is one of our very best students, always on time, and always prepared. We have never seen him case in the halls, but we have often wondered who might be fortunate enough to own the pretty little ring he wears on his little finger. 56

Tfye Co fcrsecr Mary Richards Donora, Pa. ' ' Box Philo; Pan ' s Anniversary. As hrighl as burnished gold her hair, A belter friend you ' ll find nowhere. Mary is one who travels a long way each day to be with us. She was not satisfied how- ever with coming all thru the winter months but begged to be allowed to continue thru the summer; hence Box ' s education exceeds that of some of us. Mary shows great ability in Art and Gym. work. The latter is mis- pelled on her program. She says it should be Jim. Eleanor Richardson California, Pa. Kirk Cho; Deutscher Verein; Y. W. C. A.; Class Prophet; Clio Play; Clio Secretary; Editorial Board; Maker of Dreams; Girls ' Glee Club; Pan ' s Anniversary. No, she isn ' t an Italian though those dreamy black eyes and her Italian dialect stories might make one think so. Now Kirk is a hard worker but it is a secret, no one knows it but herself. Yes, she does hang around the halls some, but generally near the Post Office and when her mail is handed out its either a letter that bears a foreign Post Mark and has been opened by the Censor or it ' s candy from Rochester. It has recently leaked out that the C. A. M. C. on her sweater sleeve means Canadian Army Medical Corp. No wonder she spends her library period reading war news. Her motto is I ' ll worry about that day after tomorrow. She tied for first honors in danc- ing, care of room (?) and jokology. Adelmina Riva Charleroi, Pa. Riva Clio; Deutscher Verein; Latin Clu As I list to a bird in its singing, Out in the evening dew, There ' s a wonderful joy in its ringing, That reminds me, Adelmina, of you. Riva is one of our Charleroi High graduates. She speaks Italian, Fremh and German fluently as well as English. Sometimes when we wander near the Gym. or Society halls we think Whence comes that sweet responsive strain. Impassioned Song with soft refrain, and then we realize it is Riva practicing her Model School lesson for Mr. Glover. 58
