Ella Busse “Polly” College Prep. Course Class Treas. (3). “1 must go home and practice” This is what wc hear almost every day from this studious little body. She has never flunked a subject, but to hear her talk before exams you would think she would flunk them all. From childhood Polly s aspiration has been to become an accomplished musician and we little fear for her success since she is such a persistent worker. Here’s our love to you Ella. “Patience is a plant that grows not in all gardens.' Charles Harper Hosterman “Chawley” “The Devil” College Prep. Course Inner Circle (4). Class Reporter (4). This congenial looking speciman got an early start at Boals- burg High, which institution closed for repairs after his grad- ation. “Chawley” is gaining fame as a ball player, and we ex- pect the Philies to capture him before long. He is a good little “Devil” so long as there are no “Angels' about. He expects to win fame and fortune as an Engineer. Co to it boy, we wish you luck. “All blessings await the man who is possessed of valor. Pauline Lola Owens “Polly” “Peggy” College Prep. Course Class Reporter (3). Y. W. C. A. The five minute bell is ringing, where’s “Polly?’’ Oh she’s coming over the hill, she’ll still be in time. This charming little Miss came to us from Clearfield High in her Sophomore year. She immediately became enthusiastic in High School activities and has especially aided in the singing. “Peggy” was a strong advocate of gymnasium exercises for girls, but this year when a gym. class was started she gave the extuse that she had enough gym (Jim) at home. Best wishes for your future. ‘‘Next to love, sympathy is the divinest passion of the human heart.”

MAE OON and GE AY sends with them its best wishes for their success wherever they may be in the future. r I ‘'HE Minstrel Show which was given about two months ago was pro- nounced a success by everyone who saw it. The sum of money taken in was approxi- mately $179.00. This sum is to be used in some way to benefit the school, but it has not been decided how. Suggestions were called for from the school, but most of the suggestions were for immediate use to be made of it for things that would not last. Surely if we stop to think we would de- cide to use it for some lasting improvement to the school, such as have been suggested —a victorola, for books to build up our Library, for a clock to be placed in the assembly room, for apparatus for the Physics Laboratory—something that can be used by future classes as well as by the present pupils. You may think that most of these things which I have mentioned should be furnished by the school board. Probably they should be, but since there are so many things needed we may have to wait a long time before the board will be able to furnish them. If we show the inclination to help ourselves we will be more likely to receive help sooner. At least we will not have the feeling that we have been selfish in the use of the money. War Saving Society V T the urgent request of the Govern- ment the State College High School has organized a War Saving Society of 106 members from the various classes. This is a fairly good record from a school of 150 pupils, but we wish the other fifty would en- roll. This does not mean necessarily that upon becoming a member you should buy stamps, but it does mean that you should encourage others to do so. Don’t l e a ‘slacker’ but get in and get to work.

I .oleta Mae Cohl “Leta” College Prep. Course V. W. C. A. Leta” lives here in the winter but she spends her summers in the village of Pleasant Gap nestled at the foot of the mountain thus putting the State Penn between Old College High and her- self. She is a diligent student and commands the respect and admiration of all the boys and girls. We know that she will make a dependable Stenog. “Her voice was never heard. Wayne Merton Breisch College Prep. Course “Ah! I got ’em all. They’re easy!” That is usually the salutation of the large, handsome, Gentleman on my right. (Ain't he dignified lookin’?) Wayne is a new arrival among us this year, and his ability to bluff the Profs and get away with it has found for him a niche in old S. C. H.S. Breisch's chief de- light is trying to overwork the post man. He has already worn out two, and the third is getting bowlegged carrying those pink envelopes from---------(censored). A good scout and a warm friend, we wish you success old boy. “Man must have something higher than himself to think of. Mary Catahrine Watt College Prep. Course “Well you know how it is,” was Mary’s greeting when she came to us from Pine Grove last fall and she has been repeating it ever since. Mary has actually been accused of speeding when giving three minute talks in English, and we all hold our breath so that she may have the full benefit of all the air in the room. When Mary begins to tell about the dance she has been to the right before you may just as well sit back and listen for she will give all the details even though you haven’t time to hear them. Her future is undecided, but we hope that she will always be able to have her say. “Another flood of words a very torrent.
