Aritrlln (£nrp?r ‘‘Perseverance wins the crown.” Ardella is a quiet country lassie who is oftener seen than heard. She has occupied a front seat all this year tho why we do not know. Her special delight is doing physic experiments at which she is quite a shark. She often entertins the Seniors at her country home,, for which we are very grateful as we always have such a jolly time. Ardella is planning to teach and we are sure she will make trim' ittanyuli) “Come, let me clutch thee.” Ernie is a corking football player. He expects to try for the Varsity when he goes to Bucknell next y ar and we think he will make it. One thing the rirls like about Ernie aside from his many attentions to them is the splendid looking blue suit he vvears. Occasionally we notice a long, wavy, auburn hair cn the coat sleeve of said suit,—an interesting 3 gn. Ernie’s motto is, “On with the dance, let joy be unconfined,”—and he lives up to it, especially when the dance is a Senior party or a sleighride. Delia iRumauifl “Laugh and grow fat.” This jolly, happy-go-lucky person is our poet and one of the inseparable Senior twins. Everyone knows when she and Alma are about by the noise taey make. First one giggles a solo, then both g: rgle a duet. Sometimes they have to giggle with a giggle, giggle, giggle; they don’t know why they giggle, but they giggle just the same. Della never worries about anything; a little thing like a flunk never bothers her. In some classes she has distinguished herself, especially Algebra. Of this she is so fond that she cannot drop it so she has spent four years on the subject. How she will miss it when she leaves school! Jflmifi ODstraniter “What he says you may believe and pawn your soul upon it.” Last year Floyd surprised himself and his school mates by jumping from the Sophomore class to the Senior class. We were glad to welcome him and he has made a strong loyal classmate, and also a good record in scholarship. He has proved himself an athlete being a valued member of the basketball and track teams. He is a jolly fellow and despite quick temper, we have learned to admire his good qualities and have found him a splendid friend.

 Alma Anicrsmt .. “A blush is beautiful but sometimes inconvenient.” It is .unnecessary to say anyting about Alma’s well known bluSh';'it is one of her pet trials and a constant source of embarrassment. Her other distinguishing craracteristic is giggling, and at this she is highly accomplished. It must be a gloomy day, indeed, that does not produce something at which Alma can giggle. Even a flunk does not repress it. She is also a talker and her tongue is always so busy that she was not able to keep it in, even when she was having her picture taken. She has one more failing, her fondness for flowers and greenhouses. Ask her about it. tbutarb (£atliu “Jove knows I love—but whom?” Ed is noted for his loud ties, screaming socks and numerous girls, all of which create some excitement and are very much in evidence. All his classmates have given up trying to keep track where he spends his week-ends and why he misses so much school. The task was too complicated. He was chairman of tne committee on rules for student government and performed his duty faithfully. It is our sincere desire that throughout his life he have the same faculty in finding good times as he did during his high school years. Eiu’liiu Jfulmrr “A maiden, not too bright and good, for human nature’s daily food.” Evelyn is a busy girl with all her numerous duties and more numerous pleasures. She is our best student and sets the pace for the rest of us Seniors, notwithstanding the fact that she indulges in midweek parties. Her greatest difficulties are keeping argumentative Seniors quiet during class meetings and making us get soap orders in on time. She does not worry much however, and if she keeps on as she has begun, she will gain her place in the world. iKautmuti) (Tanlru “I wish the man who invented work had stayed here and finished it.” Here is a good natured fellow who is almost willing to do his share of work but never willing to miss his share of fun. He started the year with three ambitions: first, to keep his pompadour in place; second, to have a girl; third, to graduate. In the first he has been successful tho it has cost him many anxious moments and innumerable interviews with his mirror. In the second he has not failed, if we judge by reports and Raymond’s blushes when he is questioned on the subject. The third seems possible for he can almost catch sight of his diploma if provided with a multi-lens telescope!. However, once he gets his stride in life’s race, he will be sure to win.

Arlrtir ifinlilrn “Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast.” A glance at her picture tells you what sort of a gin Arlene is,—good natured as shown by her twinkling black eyes but with a will of her own as shown by her chin . She is the secretary of the class and not the least of her worries is making the Seniors get their soap order in on time. Tho Arlene has been in our class only this year, she is one of us and enters with a zest into anything which is going on. Arlene is brilliant in all of her school work es-pcciaTy Geometry, in which her forte is demonstrations. She is a talented musician and expects to study at the New England Conservatory of Music. ffii'rluut iSa'lnilmry “Argue on forever you may, but I’m convinced that mine’s the way.” Herbert’s life seems equally divided between two aims: Never to be vanquished in an argument, and never lail the prey to leminine charms. He is always prepared for an emergency in either case and so far he has never been caught. He is a rather serious fellow given to a reasonable amount of study ar.d is sailing thru his senior year untroubled by tne things which harass a Senior less studious than he. We can wish for Herbert that he will be as successful in copeing with life’s problems as he is in mastering the problems of the class room. Sinac iflaher “Thy deeds would make thy ancestors blush in their graves.” As pretty as the flower that bears her name, as witty as the race to which she belongs, and as popular as the Irving Berlin rag which sne ptays. Rose is a valued and much loved member of High School. She is the musician of our class, and she has also shown remarkable dramatic ability in the class play. She has served her alma mater in many ways. She was a member of the first “Tiger Lily” board, and class president in her Sophomore year. She expects to study music in Philadelphia next year, and some day we expect to hear of her as a prima donna singer. UubbpU Iratty “All smiles and courtesy was he.” Russell comes to us from the district school and though he was a little slow getting accustomed to the work here, he has finally developed into a strong Senior. He devotes much time to study and it is probably due to this fact and the distance he lives from town that he could not give much attention to athletics. He has always been a loyal and reliable classmate and is now a Senior representative on the student council where he is doing good work for the success of student government and all other school activities.
