During this period we dubbed him The Sleeping Beauty. He had the earmarks of a talented undertakerg our belief is strengthened by his desiic for a grave occupation. Only after much practice could we pronounce his name, the g being silent, like the L in Frankford.

NIARTIN SIXLAR 722 VVinton Street Day by day in. every way. Philadelphia Normal School CHARLES OTTO ROESER W 5311 Chancellor Street Dutch HA modern Adonis was he, and worthy mate to Venus say we. Dutch, otherwise known as Chollie and Royser, was our modest and blushing boy, popular with the fellows as well as the girls. A good basketball player it was once rumored he scored a held goal. Our Beau Brummel, yet not spoiled- much. ' i'Mike ' Mike, one of the most popular boys in the class, always kept his stable clean of ponies, yet graduated with flying color. He was so short that when in a crowd the fellows had to take great care not to step on hi1n. His frequent smiles made him a suitable model for a tooth paste ad. BARNET SHEAR 1626 East Passyunk Avenue Barney '6Hooray for me. It seemed to us that Barney did not eat to liveg he lived to eat. Barney's parents were well rewarded when inspect- ing his reports. But oh, what a gas bill they must have had. Barney was quite successful in the Normal School, and were it not for his feet he would have been a good dancer. Type- writers were Mr. Shear's staff of life. ALFRED STARK 4619 North lvarnock Street C6-lil!! Fm a psychologist. Although only a vest pocket edition of the real thing, Al had many ideas beneath his hat. He admitted he is a psychlogist. NVe don't know where he got that idea--must have been affected by Colvin. A1's mental capacity was in inverse ratio to his physical form, but in direct proportion to 11is ego. 62

The answers to our niost dijienltl tasks, Carrnelia knows ere the teacher asks. ESTHER ELIZABETH DRUMMOND 5117 Regent Street ' Esther7' Esther was famous in high school for her happy manner and hearty laugh, or is it a giggle? No matter what it is, it has taken her successfully through the perils of physics and chemistry tests, practice teaching and luncheons. Our advice is, Don't ever lose it, Esther. ETHEL NANCY DYSART 2035 East York Street ffaaw With such hair and- such eyes, what cannot be done! . '6Eth's always ready to join in the fun,- Throngh the many dry lessons that we'i:e had to sit, - She's kept its awake with her ready, dry wit. 1 CLARISSA MARKLEY GREEN 5030 Saul Street Greefnfie W'hatetver is worth doing at all is worth doing well. 1 Because this is G1'6QI11C,S motto she successfully accom- plishes everything she undertakes. It is our fault that she failed to live up to this motto once during her career with us. Alas, we elected her class treasurer. 64
