LA SALTIANNA STANLEY KELLY French Circle 3, 4; Basketball 4. Stanley is one of those good-natured, congenial, easygoing chaps who falls heir to many a job just because of his evident willingness. “Something is always taking the joy out of life” and in Stanley’s case it’s French verbs, those elusive endings that do have a maddening faculty for being absent when most needed, are the bane of his existence. ANNA KRIVONIAK Glee Club 1, 2; French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4; Interviewer Salt Shaker 4; Circulation Committee I aSaltianna 4. Irrepressible, unsquelchable Anna! “May her shadow never decrease.” The bane of her teachers but the joy of her friends! Witty, gay, giggling Anna. Does she ever take anything seriously? Mais GUI! Underneath that happy-go-lucky exterior one finds a really cool, clever, capable character; one who can accept responsibilities and them through with a bang! Elle parle beaucoup. LUELLA LONG Glee Club 1, 2; French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4. “Gentlemen prefer blondes,” said one writer, and when one sees Luella one knows why. Blue eyes, flaxen hair, and a pleasing manner has Luella. She is, in addition, one of our most enthusiastic exponents of the gentle art of studying and devotes a large share of her time to textbooks. But just start a little music and bang goes the textbooks and Luella’s on her toes looking for a partner “to trip the light fantastic.” JOHN McPHILIMY Orchestra 2, 3, 4; Basketball Reserves 2, 3; Basketball 4; “College Cinderella” 3; French Circle 3, 4; Business Manager of Salt Shaker 4; Advertising Committee La-Saltianna 4. This boy with the flaming hair is a strong believer that “variety is the spice of life.” Who wouldn’t be such with that combination—sea-green eyes and red gold hair? Johnny is the type one likes to meet in the halls, on the street, in fact anywhere—for he’s always ready with a cheery smile and a friendly “Hello.” Page eighteen 1929

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

LA SALTIANNA ANASTASIA RABICKOW Donora 1, 2, 3; Health Club 4; Stenographer Salt Shak er 4. Anastasia having: exhausted all the educational facilities of Donora came to Saltsburg to graduate. A bit of old Russia is she, bringing to mind Cossacks stamping and swaying to weird music, their feet encased in shiny boots, and—speaking of boots have you noticed the eye-catching pair that protect our “Nellie’s” pedal extremities from the biting frost and cold north winds? WILSON RHEA Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 4; Sports Editor Salt Shaker 4; Advertising Committee LaSaltianna 4. Noted among a favored few for the way he can drive a Chevrolet at break-neck speed as calmly as the rest of us eat a chocolate sundae. Very adept at turning curves on two wheels, and an ardent advocate of the theory of “stepping on the gas.” “Beanie” has thus far miraculously escaped a court summons. THELMA ROSENSTEEL Glee Club 1, 2; Track 1; Secretary 1, 2; “College Cin derella” 3; French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4; Circulation Committee LaSaltianna 4. If Clara Bow has “it” then this blue-eyed lass has a large share of “that, them, and those.” Demure and sweet, never boring one with too much chattering or disappointing one with too little. Pleasing and attractive to the eye. Thelma has had her share in wounding the hearts of our high sc hool Romeos but the wound is never too deep nor too last’ng to harm. EARL RUPERT Track 1, 2, 3; Basketball 3, 4; Circulation Committee LaSaltianna 4. Tall, broad-shouldered, athletic. Earl brings to mind tales of strong gladiators thrilling Roman crowds with deeds of valor and courage. Very popular with basketball fans. With all his strength “Rupe” is very peaceful, only now and then being provoked into quick outbursts of temper which soon pass over, leaving him even more calm t.ian before. 1929 Page nineteen
