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

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

je Co ;crsei7 ; Gladys Strain California, Pa. Strain ' Clio; Y. W. C. A.; German Club; Tennis Association. What ever the wealth may be, say we, What ever the the wealth may be, It ' s the songs y sing, and the smiles ye wear, Thais ' makin ' the sunshine everywhere. Strain is one of our jolly good natured girls. The only trouble is, she takes herself more seriously than others do. Why does everyone like Gladys? Perhaps her sunny disposition is the best explanation for we all adm.re that and those qualities which go with it. No one ever sees her idle. She is a loyal classmate of whom it may be said: Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple faith than Norman Blood. Ferne Springer Mount Pleasant, Pa. Jack — not Henry Clio; Vice President Class; Latin Club; Y. W. C. A. .Jack is known for her sunny disposition, and curly hair. She has been very active in every department. Her specialties are Gym. and Domestic Science. However, she has found time for social pleasure and for doing earnest and effective work in the Y. W. C. A. Sweet and modest she goes her way Always ready to do and say The kindest things in the kindest way. Anna Steinbarger Belle Vernon, Pa. Philo; German Club; Y. W. C. A. Anna ' s youthful training was, for a child to be seen and not heard — what a hindrance for a woman not to be able to exercise her vocal chords! However she should get along well with the teachers who advocate the silent onlooker quality in a teacher. 65
