Tfye Ca zfcrsecr ; George Crispen California, Pa. Bravo Clio: Basketball Team: Football Team. Motto: Never do today what you can do tomorrow. Bravo ' s favorite occupation is sleeping. He is doing fine if he gets to school in time for penmanship at one o ' clock. He considers life too valuable to waste time when he might be sleeping in. However some of George ' s ability along the line of tennis playing, dancing, typewriting and taking shorthand dictation, in which he is very speedy, must not be overlooked. We hope that in future years Bravo will have lost a portion of his shyness toward the girls. Let George do it Eva Cozzens California, Pa. Dot Motto: Get rich honestly if you can, and if you can ' t get rich aytyhow. Dot is the shorthand Queen of the Senior class. She is very ambitious to make a success in the course she is taking. She has a great influence over others and we know where to go for consolation if we unfor- tunately hit the wrong key, or make a mistake in a trial balance. Eva gets a telephone call from Pittsburgh quite frequently and this, no doubt accounts for her vast interest in Domestic Science and other household duties. Robert Honn Orcola, 111. Preacher Clio: Baseball, 1916, 1917: Latin Club; Assistant Commercial Instructor. Rev. Honn is engaged in the noble work of ministering the Gospel to sin blinded humanity. Preacher prompted by that broader view of life and the desire to do more forhisfellownnen, decided to take a course in the University and in order to take the lectures as a whole and digest them at his leisure, he decided to take a course in typewriting and shorthand. Preacher has a very congenial disposition and has made for himself many friends among the students who all join in wishing him much success in his high calling. 76

Z e Ca ?crsea 7 Commercial Department [HERE is no more up-to-date, down-to-the-minute department of the California State Normal, than the Commercial School. Thoroly equipped in all used accessories of the modern business office, and most ably instructed by Prof. H. W. English, the graduates of this department go out into high-salaried positions to fill them to the entire satisfaction of employers. The enrollment for the year has numbered twenty-four, of whom eight were taking the Senior work. However, only five of this number; namely: Misses Philips and Cossens, and Messrs. Johnson, Roseberry and Honn will be graduated, as the insistence of the call to position took Misses Shields and Burrell, and Mr. Crispen from school. In both Junior and Senior sections of the class, Efficiency is the Motto, and Perfect-work the Standard; and, the unlimited quantity of work done for teachers in the school, and concerns without the school attest the fact that a highly satisfactory approximation of the goal is reached. There has been a report of a discontinuation of the Commercial Depart- ment next year, but we can see no reason therefor, when judged from the standpoint of enrollment, work done, and financial returns to the school. How- ever, if this report be well-founded, we are assured that all Junior students who are qualified to complete the prescribed course in the Summer School will be graduated with full honors, and receive the regular diploma. To the Class of 1917, the Staff extends best wishes for future success in their chosen work. May their notes ever read right, Their machines strike true, While they in all life. Nobly dare aiid do. 75

Tfye Co ?orsea ? Everett Johnson Waynesburg, Pa. Philo; Varsity Baseball; Treasurer Com. Class. This modern Hercules drifted in one after- noon in the Autumn of 1916, and proceeded to explain to the few venturesome bystanders, who had not talien fright at his stature and vanished in the bush that he came from Castile, located eight miles north of Waynes- burg — big white barn and house that ' s us. Incidentally he keeps Prof. English and Coach Fernald in a good humor at the same while he hurls the grimy sphere in getting a C to grace his manly bosom. Ev will either spend his time raising sheep or in keeping some team in the Pennant race. Bernice Philips Library, Pa. ' •Bun ' Clio; Girls ' Glee Club; Secretary Com- mercial Class. Bun is one of the most energetic girls in the school. Full of fun and a smile for every- one. Bun is a very good student and always willing and ready to help others. We feel sure her pleasant ways will win success for her in the work she undertakes. Ralph Roseberry Rice ' s Landing, Pa. Rosey Clio; Clio President; Chorister; President Commercial Class. Take your time; no need to hurry English is out; so you should worry. Rosey takes great delight in composing short musical numbers dedicated to a few special favorites of C. N. S. His evasive answer Nix, when asked if he is going to stay for society on Friday evening, puzzles us. We have drawn the conclusion that he takes one of his sisters or cousins for a spin in his little Wasp 4-D. Ralph is of a very pleasant disposition, but this can be accounted for by his motto: Consider life a farce, and take nothing seriously. .
