Orchestra, IV. She comes up smiling, more often laughing. Edie never seems to have a dull moment; yet she always finds time to do her work and do it well. Edie is one of the more fortunate girls in the class whose hair is really permanently waved. A few years from now will find her teaching. Who knows? Maybe at T. E.

Ralph, one of the most faithful workers in the class, is usually found working around the candy tables. In spite of his meekness and quiet ways, he has proved his ability to work as shown by his activities. We feel sure that Ralph will make good in the commercial world. ALBERT W. JONES Academic Al I’ve been dying for four years,- now I'm going to live.” Soccer, III; Eastfrin Staff, IV; Year Book Staff, IV, Debating Club, III; Gym Exhibition, I. Albert has a record for sleeping through more French periods than anyone else in the class. He remains unruffled through tests and exams. His favorite expression undoubtedly is, Please repeat the question. He is also the jester of his crowd and his puns have a spice that makes him the center of every witty group— He plans tD prepare for his future profession at Howard University. Good luck, Albert.

Christian combines athletic ability, sociability and scholastic leadership. She exemolifies what the well-dressed Miss of ’37 wears, even to earmuffs. There is hardly an event in the class in which Chris isn’t an active participant. She intends to go on and complete her education at West Chester State Teachers’ College, and, with her pleasant disposition, we envy her future pupils. 19 3 7 Page Twenty-three

GARNET AND GRAY WILLIAM IRVIN HOPKINS Practical Arts Hoppy” Study if you have time!” Basketball, III, IV; Soccer, II, III, IV; Baseball, II, III, IV; Monitors, III, IV; Chorus, III, IV; Gym Exhibition, II. William is the familiar figure on our basketball court. He is a very quiet, earnest, and friendly member of our class. Though he is neither a natural born chemist nor the best of chemistry students, he masters the subject through hard studying. Hoppy has not decided on his future but we know he will be a success. ELIZABETH R. HOVANEC Commercial “Betty A smile, as she used the art. Has the cunning to break a heart.” Chorus, III, IV; Stenographic Awards, ML Bookkeeping Awards, III; Hallowe'en Party Play Cast, IV,- Candy Committee Chairman, IV; Eastfrin Staff, II; Field Day Events, I, II; Perfect Attendance, IV; Operetta, III; Student Librarian, III; Supper Committee, IV; Gym Exhibition, II; Christmas Party Committee, IV. Betty, one of the prettiest commercial girls, spent her leisure time selling candy to put us farther on the road to Washington. Students will remember her as the salesgirl with the pretty smile; but teachers, as a conscientious student—displayed by her commercial awards. ROBERT HUGHES Academic “Bobby” His manners are gentle, complying and bland. Basketball, II, III, IV; Track, I, II, III, IV; Monitor, III, IV; Chorus, III, IV; Hallowe'en Party Cast, III, Year Book Staff; Candy Committee, IV, - Industrial Arts, I, II, III; Operetta, IV; Student Council, III; De- bating, IV. Few times has a quotation been more fitting, for Hughesy is a true gentleman. Genial and fun-loving, he has a host of loyal friends. As a candy seller he is indispensable, and we are confident that Mr. Smeigh would say the same of him as a basketball player. ROBERT ISINGER Academic Bob The man that blushes is not quite a brute. President, II; Football, II, III, IV,- Monitor, III; Year Book Staff; Perfect Attendance, I, II, III; Orchestra, II, III, IV; Band, I, II, III, IV; Chairman Second Dance Committee, IV, Chairman Supper Ticket Committee, IV; Gym Exhibition, II; Annual Play Cast, IV. Whether it be English, French or Chemistry, you may be sure that Bob knows the answers. Diligent though he is, studies do not take all his time. Orchestra and football are prominent parts of his extra-curricular activities. Last fall he was a guard of undisputed strength in T-E's gridiron contests. Page Twenty-two

JAMES F. KELLY Academic Kelly His pencil was striking, resistless at hand. His manners were gentle, complying, and bland. Asst. Manager Basketball, III; Golf, II,- Chorus, II; Perfect Attend- ance, III, IV; Gym Exhibition, II; Industrial Arts Club, II, III, IV; Program Committee, III. It is said that good things come in small packages. This is certainly true of Kelly, because he has been a hard, steady, and confident worker. It may be true, that Kelly, at times mistakes a study hall for a leisure period, but it is equally as true, that he has been a capable and untiring worker in every senior project. Kelly’s ambition is in the journalistic world. Good luck to you. VERNON HAYMAN KIRKNER Commercial Vernie A friend to all, to all a friend.” Football, III, IV, Basketball, II, III, IV; Track, II. Ill, IV; Stenographic Awards, II; Field Day Events, III; P. S. M. A. Chorus, IV. Vernon is an active student both in the classroom and on the athletic field, as his activities above show. In spite of his extra- curricula activities, he still finds some time to spend with a certain feminine interest. He is one lad who is very seldom serious, but he is usually flashing his bright smile everywhere. Because he is a willing worker, we are sure he will succeed in the business world. VIRGINIA LOUISE KLISCHER Academic Ginny” Not bold nor shy, nor short nor tall, But a nice mingling of them all. French Club, IV; P. S. M. A. Chorus, IV; Perfect Attendance, I; Operetta, IV; Bake Committee, IV; Gym Exhibition, I; Hot Dog Com- mitee, IV. Ginny is the possessor of that most womanly trait- blushing. Her blonde hair and blue eyes (incidentally to make her all the more enviable, her hair is wavy) make her the object of a great many Senior girls. Ginny’s” ability to work is shown in the ease with which she translates her French. LAWERENCE KNIER Academic Larry Ambition like a torrent ne’er looks back. President, II, Vice President, III; A. A. President, IV; Football, IV; Golf, III, IV; Monitor, III, IV, Hallowe’en Party Play Cast, III; Chair- man Movie Committee, IV; Ways and Means, IV,- Perfect Attendance, I, II, III, IV; Student Council, II; Orchestra, II,- Band, I, II, Debating, III, IV; Annual Play Cast, IV. Law has caught the eye and won the heart of the ambitious lad. Certainly the profession has never received a more capable candi- date, for in sound conclusive argument Larry has yet to be sur- passed. Between debates he displays his skill on the golf links. 19 3 7 Page Twenty-four
