Z e CoZ fcrsea Nelle Robinson Charleroi, Pa. Nelle Philo. Nelle is one of the most practical girls in the Senior Class being able to adapt herself to any situation. To strangers her appearance may seem quiet, but to her chums she is a jolly, talkative, fun loving girl. We cannot tell what the future has in store for her but whatever it is we know she will be a success. Elizabeth Rodgers Jefferson, Pa. Bethj Philo; Y. W. C. A.; Latin Club; Philo Vice President; Secretary, Eight Weeks ' Club. Our Betty came to California to pursue her favorite study. Domestic Science. She surely has a vast amount of practical knowledge as a basis for her scientific pursuits, and will make an ideal domestic scientist. She is prepared to teach larie numbers but may choose a class of one instead. Her disposition is usually sweet and tractable; but call her Lizzie and her eyes flash fire! She is fast learning to keep the corners of her mouth turned up. We shall miss the daily contact with her good humored raillery, her clever repartee. Josephine Rodgers Washington, Pa. Joe Philo. Joe is a pleasant, energetic little damsel, who hailed from Washington. She was one 01 the first students to enroll in our New Sum- mer School and we, the people who stayed are not sorry. W e are sure that she will not fail in whatever she undertakes. No one is prouder of her Reckard than she — unless it is Lester, of course. 59

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

7 fe Ca ?crsea ? Ciio. Maude Russel W. Brownsville, Pa. An atmosphere of quiet and studiousness hovers about this dainty girl. Never jarring upon the feelings of others, with a contagious smile or laugh when occasion justifies it, Maude is a true Normal girl to be loved and admired. Mary Rutan Dunn ' s Station, Pa. Mary Clio; Latin Club; Deutscher Verein; Y. W. C. A. Her face, her manner all who saiv admired, Courteoiis and gentle yet a little bit retired. Mary is a sweet maiden with meek brown eyes. She is quiet and reserved but neverthe- less has a bountiful supply of good nature and sympathy. All who have been in her classes know that she is always on time, faithful, conscientious and an all-around good student. Emma A. Sacco Coal Center, Pa. Clio Society; L ' Circle Francais; Latin Club. A prodigy of learning. In her lexicon, there is no such word as fail. To those who know thee not, no words can paint! And those ivho know thee, knoiv, all ivords are faint. Without half trying, Emma is on the honor roll year in, year out. To her, Virgil is mere child ' s play. Physics a game. And whoever heard of her failing in anything? She dotes on English Grammar and teaching in the model School. 60
