LA SALTIANNA ALICE COFFMAN French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4. “Beware of the quiet ones!” Alice’s reputation for silence and unobstrusiveness would make a clam blush. But secretly she cherishes the commendable ambition to be a writing teacher and if her beautiful penmanship is any prophecy she’ll be a success in her chosen field. ELIZABETH CUNKELMAN Glee dub 1, 2; French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4; Alumni Editor Salt Shaker 4. “A daughter of the Gods divinely tall and most divinely fair,” and yet it is Elizabeth’s dearest wish that she were a “petite brunette.” She worries quite a lot about her lessons and yet stands very high with “the powers that be.” For an example of a good student, a true friend and confidant “Bettina” might well be chosen, as shown by the h:gh regard in which she is held by her fellow classmates and friends. HELEN FENNELL Librarian 1, 2, 3, 4; French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4; Circulation Committee I aSaltianna 4. Always ready to do her part that’s Helen! “When a feller needs a friend” Helen can be counted on every time. Precise, neat, every line in its place, hair curled just so—she will make some one a marvelous housekeeper and helpmeet. If music hath charm to sooth the savage beast Helen is on the lookout for one because there is always a melody at her finder tips ready to peal forth as she sits down to “tickle the ivories.” JACK FRANKLIN Basketball Reserves 1, 2; Basketball 4; Glee Club 2; “College Cinderella” 3; Advertising Committee LaSalti-anna 4. This black-haired young gentleman is the fortunate possessor of an enigmatic personality. He has a disarming smile, an engaging manner that draws around him an ever-increasing number of friends. Perhaps our “Jaques” is rather unlucky in studies but if certain stories are authentic he makes up for it in love. Page sixteen 1929

LA SALTIANNA PAULINE ALLENBAUGH Secretary 3; French Circle 3, 4; Activities Editor La-Saltianna 4; Health Club 4. She takes her lessons seriously does Pauline, and her report card gives its own reward. But when textbooks are forgotten and school is a “has been” then one finds in Pauline a most companionable character, the possessor of a peppy spirit, of an indefinable charm that endears her to her friends. j I-ENA BERGMAN Vandergrift 1; French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4; Exchange Editor Salt Shaker 4. Whether they named her for the Lena River in Siberia or—sentimentally—for that dear old melody “Go to Sleep, Lena Darling” has never been disclosed for she keeps family secrets to herself. We should like to recommend her as a fitting wife for some struggling young preacher, for his “divine fire” and her “divinity fudge” would make an ideal combination. EMILIE Glee Club 1, 2; French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4. Happy are those who are gifted with perpetual good humor. Nothing daunts Emilie! Sweet but not sugary; peppy but not tiring; very agreeable. Emilie would make an excellent suburbanite for she has grown accustomed to commuting by her twice daily treks on the “Iron Horse” from Livermore to Saltsburg to attend our famed “Temple of Learning.” ROBERT BURNETT Class Basketball 1; Glee Club 1; French Circle 3, 4; History Club 3; Orchestra 2, 3, 4; Manager Basketball 3; “College Cinderella” 3; “In Cherry Time” 4; Editor-in-Chief LaSaltianna 4. Clash of cymbals, grand flourish of trumpets! Enter Roberto Burnetto, the leader, possessor of a “three-decker” brain, and a magnetic personality. Silence! I et the “big medicine man” be heard,—With my own amazing ability have I done it—I act—I sing—-I write—I play the “jazzy sax” there is nothing impossible, no object insurmountable. Hear! Hear! 1 1929 Page fifteen

LA SALTIANNA jCHARLES GOSNELL Charles is our rising politician. We wouldn’t be surprised to see him in years to come haranguing the populace from some lofty balcony on a pressing political question. An ardent student of Problems of Democracy he has lately taken to reading the lighter literature— “Sociology and Modern Social Problems”—Economic History of the United States” and even “Political Prob lems of America.”—“Professor, how could you!” ELIZABETH GOSNELL Glee Club 1; French Circle 3, 4; Health Clu| 4. “Libby”—blue eyes, chestnut hair with curls achieving a tempestuous appearance—and when her bewitching giggle is heard one knows that some delightful tid-bit of gossip has reached appreciative ears. If the sky fell, “Libby” would come “smilin’ through” calmly asking, the excitement?” She hasn’t anything against studying but she asks—why bury yourself in a dry textbook when there are so many, many more delightful things to do? GEORGE GRANTZ If Ulysses had ridden in a Ford instead of a ship Georgie’s autobiography would read like an Odyssey. But even Ulysses couldn’t quite duplicate George’s skill in changing tires and manipulating spark plugs on a refractory flivver. His line is Science and we wouldn’t be surprised if he should startle the world some day with some amazing discovery—that is if he doesn’t blow himself up in the meantime. •J EARL GREECE Dark, almost to swarthiness is Earl, recalling to mind chivalrous Spanish noblemen, possessors of fiery spirits, and temperamental characters. Reserved, quiet, always busy with his own thoughts; few of us know him well, but to the chosen few Earl is a staunch friend, an ever-ready sympathizer, a true comrade. 1929 Faye seventeen
