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.

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.

if ,-'Tv--rf 'K . I X CHARLES TILGHMAN OSWALD CHARLIE H This merry heart goes all the day, The one unchanging thing, Beneath Time's changeful sky. The possessor of this serious countenance first saw light near Egypt on February 3, lf-308. Charles is known as the bureau of information of the Senior Class, for if any one can't do an algebra problem, he is the person they seek. Charles has been a faithful student throughout the four years of High School, and is to be commended for his patience and perserverance. Charlie can be named a leader of men, as he was vice-president of his class in the Freshman year, and president in his Sopho- more and Senior years. He was also an oflicer of the Literary Society for several terms. Speaking of the romantic part of his High School life we can say that he believes, Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. Charles intends to specialize in chemistry and will take up his studies at Lehigh, in the fall. With his past record as a basis, We know that Charles will have a prominent part in the world of science. Olltgrletio Association Q1 , 2, 3, 4l,' Dranzatics -, 4 . ' ,NX .. ..... . Q 5 XXX .flti 4 1. HILDA KATH RYN ROMICH UBUDDYH O blest with temper, whose unclouded my Can niake tomorrow cheerful as today. Our little Buddy is one of the most popular Seniors. She is from Egypt, and like other girls from Egypt has the rosiest of cheeks which are naturally so-of course. She is the best of sports and every one likes her. You can usually hear her merry laugh in the halls. She appears to be such a quiet girl, but appearances are often deceiving, as one young student from Lafayette can testify. Yes-and it's true! Hilda always has time for her lessons and she is one of the leading stars in the academic section. She shines most brightly in the cooking room. From this fact we conclude that some young man is going to be lucky. She also belongs to the Girls' Chorus and we personally think some day she will rival Galli Curci in grand opera, but Hilda says UNO. She is going to VVest Chester to pre- pare for teaching. In whatever she may attempt we wish her the best of luck. Adieu, Hilda. Athletic Association QI, 2, 3, 43, Chorus CZ, 3, 45, Droniatics CZ, 37. X X x
