7 fe Co crsec 7 Grace Shaw McKeesport, Pa. Bricky Y. W. C. A.; Clio; German Club: Basket- ball. Grace is one of our many girls who always looks on the bright side of everything. At the beginning of the year, she was very fond of the Mutt and Jeff series, but now it seems she has lost all interest in them (?). Her favorite dress is a Middy and Bloomers. Her favorite animal is a Wolf. LoLLiE Shirk East Brook, Pa. Philo Society; Y. W. C. A. Merry, yet dignified, and at times even serious, LoUie is well-beloved and always welcome. She has proven herself a staunch friend and a loyal classmate. Her motto is, If you cannot do what you like, like what you can do. We know that she will have a happy future, for her cheerful disposition will .win a place for her anywhere. We wish her success. Bruce Smith Stockdale, Pa. ' ' Red Clio; Cripple Club; German Club; -Junior President; third Year Play; Football Captain, 191.5-16; Baseball, 191.5-17. Bruce is our football captain and some constellation also in basketball. We often wonder if it is their similar position and responsibility, that cause him and Markle to converse so seriously and so often. Red ' s favorite poem is entitled, By the Library Door and begins as follows; How I grieve. For My Reve, but we .cannot, we dare not quote the remainder, it ' s ' too painfully pathetic. However we may say, that anyone who ever walked down the hall would always find Bruce at his post whether it was Reve or Ede {1917 revision). 63

ie Co ?orsea 7 Martha Jane Scott Mt. Pleasant, Pa. Marty Hen i ' x a f irl who is cheerful and kind, Thr f 1 1)1 ' tliot is always so hard to find. r :t ' iil, hi ' ipjul, good and true. With rirtios many and faidts but few. Martha absorbed all the knowledge she could get in Mount Pleasant, and appeared soon thereafter at California Normal. The high character of her work proves her earnest- ness and sincerity of purpose, while her interest in Normal affairs bespeaks her loyalty. Her sweet and womanly ways win for her friends who appreciate her true worth. V. F. Scott Bruceton Mills, W. Va. Scotty Philo Society; German Club; Y. M. C. A.; Business Staff. Seek not to direct him for he will choose his ways. Scotty is a uniformly good humored young man with a small body and big heart. He always seems to have so much business on his mind that he can ' t stop long. For that reason, he has been chosen Advertising Manager for the Calnorsean. He has been a faithful worker for both school and class. Married life and school make a difficult combination, but Scotty seems fully capable of untangling its difficulties. Bess Shaulis Friedens, Pa. Bess With a smile on her lips and a tear in her voice. German Club; Y. W. C. A.; Philo; David Copperfield. Bess is a Somerset County product, — one who has an extreme fondness for talking. When we hear her call, Say kids, we know that she has something exciting to tell. She is a graduate of our elocution depart- ment, but since she is so fond of Lowell, we cannot say what she will do in the future. 62

T e Co ?orsea ; Howard Sparks Indian Head, Pa. Pin Philo; Y. M. C. A.; Normal Review Staff; Varsity Football, 1915-17; Basketball, Man- ager, 1916; Philo Play; Junior Play: President, Tennis Association; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet; Keep Mum Society; Sewing Circle; German Club. To the casual observer Sparks may suggest either lazy good nature, or else downright sus- pended animation. We take it as our duty to inform the same casual observer that Pin is every bit as sharp as his name indicates. He is one of our best athletes, dependable in his work, — and claims to be in love — in other words, virtues galore. Ella Zana Smith New Salem, Pa. Zaney Y. W. C. A.; Philo Society. Zana Smith from New Salem has spent three years in C. N. S. She has been a very good student and always has been prepared with each day ' s work. We have never been able to determine along what line Zana ' s inclinations extend. We think it possible that some day she will be a famous dancing teacher, as Zana is always the first person in the Gym. on Tuesday evenings. Grace Snowden Roscoe, Pa. Grace Philo. Grace is quite a demure young lady, which may be due in part to her height and in part, to l)eing brought up in such cultured surround- ings as Roscoe. Grace was never known to be in a great hurry. It really is surprising how she catches the train for even when fifteen minutes late she just gets there in the nich of time. 64
