l S'1'E1.1.A MAY BROXVN FULLERTON Let not semshness your soul pervert, From this most base fault yourself convert. Stella is taking the Commercial Course in our Whitehall High School, and, some day, will be a shining light in the business world. Many have entered this work but not all have made good. Some enter only to grow tired and then to lay the burden down. It will not be thus in the case of this Whitehall student,-she will be one of those who will strive to win. Many l are they who enter this field but soon fall out because Northern laurels turn to Southern wil- ows. The particular field in which this student chooses to labor is that of Secretary to some one who has some big business to carry on. Here will she labor and here not lay her bur- dens down until all is accomplished that busi- ness may wish for. Athletic Association fl-2-3-45, Literary Society UD, Dramatics Q41 ELWOOD AUGUSTUS CHAMBERLAIN FULLERTON By the fireside, linger not too long, l Lest others should grow and be too strong. Elwood is one of our line young men who comes to us from Fullerton and does work in the academic course. He has very much to say about false economy and believes that people do not always reckon properly. One man rejected a daughter-in-law because she was a cripple,-she was lame. The son married another girl, who, while going up the stairway fell and hurt her limb. Well, there were doctors and medicines and bandages and many, many costs. What a saving there might have been if the son would have married the girl who was lame already. There are blessings for all. The man who clrives a car has his, too. While his creditors are riding on the trolley, he drives his car. This is a splendid way of never meeting those whom he owes but will not pay.

DAVID LEWIS ARTHUR FULLERTON Hokenclauqua will let me have my prize, I know it cannot well be otherwise. It is said that David knows the town of Hoken- dauqua so well that he has come to believe that he could find his way through the place at night. Then Holcendauqua is a nice place: this does not say that the people of Hokenclauqua are not nicer than the place. There are some beautiful trees in this same town with many a bough extended and with many a shady recess for loiter and rest. And, when the work of the day is well done, is so well done that rest seems sweet and good, it comes with greater grace to rest if you may talk to a friend while you rest. David is taking the academic course and plans to' be a mechanical engineer. He does not like the study of French but then this subject is not engineering. It would not be nice if any one were to break up his fine relations in Hokendauqua while he, thus, leaves to attend to his studies.

Curl came to High School from Cementon and was always quiet and reserved. He felt very badly about a story he heard of a girl asking her brother what they should give their father for a Christmas present. Answered the boy: l..ct's let him drive the car. Carl always had a little trouble with poems und this one especially perplexed him: Ulysses was a mighty man, and quite a scrappy guy: He proved his worth by poking Polyphemus in the eye. And once upon a time, to prove his nerves were hrm and true. He sailed down past Charybdid-what u scylla thing to do! This was un academic student.

1 i AQUILLA IDA DIEHL FULLERTON Though we prepare ourselves ever so well, All of the future no one will foretell. This girl hails from Fullerton and finds it to be a beautiful town just outside the city limits, yet so free, so isolated, and of such poise as to be one of the finest places in which to live. We have ceased to seek the city: we have found that art is not able to vie with nature, we love the babbling brook, the mill that stands by it, the bridge that is built o'er itg we love these things: they are so genuine. Ida does not give us her opinion about the boys: she wisely says, Let us wait. She will not let them hang on the ate. Gates break S down. This girl, however, loves her stenography and writes her iss and steh very well. When the High School career is over, when those gates will not stand ajar as of old, when the songs once sang have found the silence of their singers. Ida will follow the work of her chosen profession with a will.
