Ve entered W. H. S. in the beginning of September, 1921. She immediately 'won many friends, not only among her classmates, but among the other classes as well, because of her friendly disposition. Verna's greatest weakness is the opposite sex. We often hear her talking about twins, but we have not been able to investigate the matter further. We all wonder what the Fates have in store for her, because she often has such a faraway look, but probably some day all these puzzles will be solved. This also is the lassie who is fond of all athletics, especially tennis. Verna is a great supporter and cheerer at all W. H. S. games and sport. Many a time she is heard above the rest cheering for Whitehall. Ve's last talent, but not least, to be mentioned, is her singing. She possesses one of the best soprano voices in school. After leaving high school, Verna intends to further her study in voice culture at West Chester. We hope that some day her voice will find for her the path which leads to fame. The class of '25, bids you farewell. Athletic Association CI, 2, 3, 4D,' Chorus CZ, 3, 4J,' Dramatics CZ, 3, 41. A lion among the ladiesg' Tame! We wonder! Behold! This young man who first saw daylight in the village of Egypt on August 3, 1907. He attended the public schools there and entered Whitehall with the class of '25, Sparky was very enthusiastic with his studies when he chose to be, but the sad part of it is that he often forgot so to choose. He soon made a large number of friends with his cheerful and happy disposition. He was also a good athlete, being a fine ball player as well as soccer star. He also was one of the mainstays on our crack tennis team. I Sparky is a great admirer of the fair sex. At present his eyes seem to be directed toward one of our bashful Senior girls. Sparky expects to enter Lehigh next year and we expect to hear from him later. Whatever he chooses to follow we wish him a happy career.

GEORGE EDWARD JORDAN PICK Through thick and thin. This promising young man made his appearance in the town of Fullerton. He attended the public school at Fullerton and there completed his elementary education. He entered Whitehall High School in the year 1921. Pick's hobby seems to be girls, but we bear him no malice and hope he will succeed in winning the quest of his heart. George has made manifest his class spirit by serving as our vice-president during the junior term and ffurthermorel has shown his spirit toward his class by attending all class affairs. George was a model student and nothing was too difficult for him. Besides being a good scholar he was a good athlete. He held down the position of short- stop on the varsity, outside left on the soccer eleven, and with his fast playing helped to win the tennis cup. Pick expects to enter Penn, where he will take a course in dentistry. We hope to hear of him again as a successful dentist.

Patsy is Irish as the name implies and she is by no means the quietest girl in the class, nor is she the loudest. She is very fond of dancing and is always showing the girls some new step. She is also fond of basketball. We wonder why! She is. a singer of some note and is often found trilllng some pretty melody. She is quite a shark in physics, although we have already found her in deep meditation. She has taken quite an interest in class affairs, especially in the social part, and has attended all the parties. She has also taken part in many plays and in this way has proved herself to be an actress of no mean ability. She intends to take up the profession of instructing the future generations in the three R's. W'e expect to hear more of her in some higher institution of learning. Here's wishing her the best of luck and a happy future. Adieu! Athletic Association fl, Z, 3, 4D,' Chorus CZ, 3, 4j,'Dra1natics CZ, 3, 45.

I 1 N- A - :':f EDITH MAY MATTHEWS WILLIAM MCQUILKEN EDUMs Broom Little girlie, d01'lll you cry, Miles of smiles. You'll get afrat pin, by and by. Edith is our beloved baby. Although the youngest, her mental powers are among the foremost. She is a great devotee of baseball and is never as happy as when she is rooting. Edith is known for her sunny disposition, for she likes to laugh and make mirth. She never allows her pleasure to interfere with her studies, taking particular interest in physics and chemistry. She is very popular among all her classmates, but we believe she took a special interest in a certain graduate last year. She received a gift over the Christmas holidays but would not explain the source. We wonder who! Neither has Edith shirkecl school activities, being a member of the Glee Club and, taking part in various plays, always delighted her hea'rers. Edith has one ambition and that is to go to some institution to take up a course in physical education, where we are sure she will attain great success. VVhatever her aim may be, we wish Edith success in the fullest measure. Athletic Association CI, 2, 3, 4J,' Chorus CZ, 3, 4D,' Dramatics CZ, 3, 45. This congenial lad made his first appear- ance in the town of Hokendauqua. He suc- cessfully passed through the grammar grades and then came to Whitehall. He soon became a great friend of all his classmates and was greatly admired by the fair sex. His bright smile was like a bright light beckoning from afar and brought him many friends. He is especially friendly to a certain Senior girl. He is very much interested in sports, as he is on the baseball team and on the soccer team. He is one of the best soccer players on interscholastic teams in this part of the country. We undoubtedly shall find Biddie entering the business world and wish him a successful career. Whatever his aim may be we wish him success to the fullest extent. Closing this little biography we will bid our friend adieu.
