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

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 J Joseph scorr Track 1, 2, 3; President 3; Orchestra 3, 4; French Circle 3, 4; “In Cherry Time” 4; Circulation Manager LaSalti-anna 4. This is Scott. You don’t know him, you can’t know all of him. Scott is many-sided, versatile. He acts, plays the banjo, and is a speaker of no mean ability. The opinions he has often make the rest of us sit up and take notice. He has that faculty of probing a problem to the very foundation and then analyzing every atom of it until satisfied. Interesting. 1 ROBERT SHIRLEY French Circle 3; Advertising Committee LaSaltianna 4. I arge, dove-like eyes has our Robert, but they are misleading. Although meek and gentle in appearance he has been known to cause quite a disturbance in French class and quite a few arguments in mathematics, by the way —that’s his hobby, mathematics—and like Holmes we can say— “That boy with the grave mathematical look. VIRGINIA SHIRLEY Glee Club 1, 2; Orchestra 2; French Circle 3, 4; Health Club 4. A musical Miss is Virginia, capable of drawing forth fairylike melodies from her violin, but withal quie and retiring so that few are well acquainted with her. Virgil is her hoodoo for in spite of piteous pleas, Jupiter fails to endow her with the secret of understanding Latin. { 1, 2, 3; JAMES STEWART Track 1, 2, 3; Basketball Reserves 1, 2. 3; Glee Club 2; Orchestra 2. 3, 4; French Circle 3, 4; Vice-President 3; Basketball 4; Sports Editor LaSaltianna 4. Here is a fellow who always seems to be just getting ready for a nap. napping, or just awakening from one. He has a slow lazy drawl that suggests waving palms and leisurely caravans meandering slowly across the desert. But at times Jim is very wide-awake and during those moments he accomplishes a great deal. Page twenty 1 929
