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 ANDERS Better to smell the violet cool, than sip the glowing winei' This native of Fagleysville and an ambi- tious student of this school usually dashes into this 'Aburg in his i'I'livver speedster at about 8.20 a. m., every morning, just in time to hear Mr. Hartranft say: Last buzzer, boys. Paul also answers to Skinny, but he really isn't, no, not so awfully. He expects to broaden his mind at some business college, but we are sure that whatever he may decide upon. he will make asuccess of it. Technical -O- HAROLD BARR He's a jolly good fellow Ahoy, shipmates, lend a hand, here comes that rollicking Harold Barr. Good-natured, jovial, always a smile on his face, that's Har- old. He is inclined towards athletics and is now piloting the baseball team. His school activities were many and varied, but not, as a rule, those that ought to have required close attention. When his school days are over, we believe he will swing a tailor's goose. Commercial -O- EVELYN BAUM Our deed will travel with as from afar And what we have been helps to make us what we are rf Evelyn is a resident of the Sixth ward and a studious member of the graduating class. She can usually be found at home, that is, when she is not in school or at the movies: tickling the ivory keys of her typewriter in an endeavor to turn the required amount of work out for Miss Stewart, She is light haired, and say fel- lows, it isn't bobbed: or rather, shegrdoesrft have a cabbage head , as the stock expression is for it. She will most likely find employment in some ollice after leaving school and we wish her the best of luck. Commercial C 1 43

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
