HENRY BQURDAN 'iWho said: 'Nobody loves a fat man' Henry is known to all his friends as Fat , because he is inclined to be corpulent. No wonder, his father runs an, grocery store. He lends his jovial nature to all his classmates and clears the gloomy atmosphere of the class rooms into which he enters. 'iHen is generally quiet, but when he goes into action, Watch your step. Someday we expect to see him dashing around behind the counters of his father's store. Commercial -0- LEE BUSH His faults we write upon the sands His virtues upon tablets of love and memory This young man with the coal black hair and heavy rimmed glasses is one of the most popular members of the dignified body of Sen- iors. Lee, while not a woman hater, does not care particularly for the girls, at least we do not see him in their company very often. Ask Lee a question and you will either get a vacant stare or a surprisingly Witty answer. We are un- aware of his probable employment, 'or of his future education, but what he gets, he takes hold of and keeps, r General -O- SARAH CLAMPFFER A sweet, shy gifl, with roses in her heart Now, after reading about all this American talent, we will hear of one from across the wa- ters-Miss Clampffer, of Kenilworth. i'Sally's studies demand a great deal of her time, but she Ends a period or two to slip into the library and discuss general news of the school with sev- eral other benior girls, and boys. The good wishes of the class go with her in all her un- dertakings. Academic C 1 65

f MIRIAM BECHTEL Woman's hair is her crowning glory This verse is indeed very appropriate for Mim . We gaze upon her hair with admir- ation and wonder. Miriam is one of the talk- ers of the class and if you want to hear any gossip, just go to 'iMim . She took part in our class play, The Charm School , and played her part well. We hear that she expects to take up nursing at the University Hospital in Philadelphia. We wish you all the success in the world, Mim : General ,O- EARL BISHCP Great oaks from little acorns grow Earl Bishop, the smallest member of the Senior Class, is better known as Pee Wee . He efficiently managed the basketball team and was always enthusiastic in school affairs. Pee Wee is a quiet lad, oh, indeed, very quiet-so quiet, in fact, that his shrill voiceucan be heard making and seconding motions at all Senior Class meetings. His chief delight is twirling those hieroglyphics called shorthand characters around his fingers. We are uncertain of his in- tended occupation or of the future development of his mind, but we ,are sure success is his in whatever line of business he takes up. Commercial -04 ESTHER BOYER Her talents are of the more silent class Esther came from one Potts to another, from Pottsville to Pottstown. She is an indus- trious girl, usually quiet and of an unassuming nature, but'with lots of good fun hidden be- hind her hazel eyes. Care-free and untiring, she is always ready to join the gang for a good time. When in school, she Worked faithfully for her better- ment and also for the class. Possibly she will continue her education, possibly she will ind a position, but whichever path she chooses, we are certain she will succeed. Technical C157

PAUL CLOWARD Fifteen men on a dead man's chest: Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum Here he is folks, Paul Cloward, popularly known as Pete , the bookkeeeping wizard. Pete first gazed upon this world on a hot day in July, l905g and, ever since then he has kept on gazing at it. He contemplates taking up accounting at Temple University after he leaves the noble halls of this school. Here's to luck, Paul. Commercial -0.- ARTHUR COOLEY The meek shall inherit the earth If this saying is true, Arthur will soon be richer than Henry Ford. He very seldom talks, but when he does he generally says something of great importance. His chief pleasure is mix- ing chemicals in our lab . Someday he might mix the wrong ones and then, farewell to thee, Arthur. He is a good debater and demonstrat- led his ability for the benefit of the Phi Alpha several times this winter. lf he goes to col- lege, and we believe he will, we believe he will become an eminent professor. Technical V . -10.- MARIE CRESSWELL Laugh and grow fat This must be Marie's motto, as she does both and succeeds very well in them. At arith- metic, she is a wizard and can juggle figures as Sarzen juggles a golf ball or as Keller's adroit hands deceive the eye. She is a girl of many and rare witticisms, which are laughed at by everyone. When the school bell knolls her departure, we will grieve, but she will pass out to greater and bigger things. General C175
