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.

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.”

Lydia Lucretia Way Luke” College Prep. Course Patriotic League “Luke” is the source of inexhaustible news of current events of High School and College students. One of Lucretia s favorite diversions is driving to Stormstown across the famous tract of land known as the Barrens” preferably with gallant Penn State Sophomores as guides. These trips are prompted by her great love of nature and the out-of-doors. Lucretia says she diets, and takes an hour of exercise each morning with ‘Indian ( lubs, but we are inclined to doubt it. She is a good steady girl and we are sure she will “hold down” a good position whatever it may be. “As firm as faith.” Lester Minnich “Dutch” “Alfalfa” College Prep. Course Base Ball (2) (3) (4). When you see a little, sawed-off individual, wending his weary way toward the old “Academy,” and wearing a grin that doesn’t wear off,—that’s “Dutch”, He is another one who pre- ferred TN to '17. “Alfalfa” is a mighty clever little ball player and usually leads the batting list. Minnich s ability to grow a crop on his lower jaw makes him deserving of his second nick- name. A good scout, and as Proxy's right hand man we pre- dict for him a big success. “Men are hut children of a larger growth.' Grace Stevens Commercial Course Grace is one of the girls who has spent all four years within the walls of S. C. H. S. She could tell you the history of the en- tire class if she had a mind to. We are glad she is not much of a talker or she might tell “tales out of school”. If you see a head of black hair bent over a book, it’s Grace, but don’t be too sure she’s studying, for you might be deceived. “The only rose without thorns is friendship.
