PAUL HAROLD HANDWERK SCHEIDY,S Love to life 'neath the shining sun. And your days will prove to be long. Paul has a very severe disliking for people who will not understand, though the matter is not deeply laid. He knows geometry to be easy. but cannot understand whylso many of the girls do not like it. He, too, is cross at the girl who could not understand her fr1end's occupa- tion which he had announced as writing: Some problem! The young man wrote to his father ..,. he needed money. Said Nathan Hale, I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country. Paul acknowl- edges this to be history and of the best kind. The history that he studied in his Junior year and the history that preserves patriotism. Paul does not believe in the philosophy of the man who said to his next wife, l regret that I have but one wife to lose for you. Paul is taking the academic course and will prepare to teach school so that he may be able to do the best for growing childhood.

The High School career of Frederick Kermit Heck inscribes high and noble ambition upon the shaft of life. Hailing from the city of Allen- town and becoming a Whitehall product, the most as well as the best is to be expected of this career yet to be. Preparing for secretarial work and taking upon himself the rigorous duties of business and hnance, we have here at once both a colossal hgure and a splendid example of type life. He knows his romance as well as he knows his letters and he knows that others should not know all of what he knows. He will triumph, he will succeed, he will place a durable pillar 'neath his Alma Mater which was his mighty fortress. Cleo Club Q3--lj: Athletic Association U-2-3-45. Page Twenty-four 43-43.

HARRIET AMANDA GETZ FULLERTON In these, the :lays of gladsome youth, Each will try to build up in truth. Harriet holds the town of Fullerton in pleasant memory, loves the place, loves the people there, with fondness views their going out and their coming in. Leaving these pleasant people about four years ago, Harriet sought shelter within the walls of Whitehall High School and, there, in the presence of the members of her class, began to soar into the ver hei hts of the truths there Y g set forth from day to day. Harriet has been a strong student in student daysg set out to do her duty and has done all of it as far as the school is concerned. When, however, the day is done and the night is at hand, Harriet seeks the lovelier precincts of home and thither will she go. Some day, she will be employed in some office in some worthwhile concern where her work will be of the nature it was hereg her employers will like her because of the faithfulness with which she will do her work. Glee Club fl-2-45, Athletic Association U-2-3-45. GERALD THOMAS GILLESPIE HOKENDAUQUA Our friends see the best in us, and by that very fact call forth the best from us. On the banks of the winding Lehigh is sit- uated the town of Hokendauqua. Gillespie hails from this town. As a student, Gillespie will bring honor to his Alma Mater-Whitehall High School. While a student, he made himself thoroughly known from Mt. Pocono to the very crest of the Lehigh Mountains. He was thoroughly known through- out the length and breadth of this stretch both as a'student and as an athlete. As an athlete he engaged very frequently in the undoing of the athletic teams and in the undoing of many a pseudo-athlete. He took what they thought they had and held it by virtue of his holding power. Get Gillespie was the slogan of many a team bearing down upon Whitehall High. Yet, Gillespie will be known as an athlete when most of his sour-grapes antagonists' are truly and well forgotten.

ESTHER ANNA HOFFMAN CEMENTON LOTTIE MAE HEss HOKENDAUQUA Come, let us rest a while, it then will better gog Should we work all rlay long, not all we'cl ever know. From her home in Hokendauqua, Lottie came each day for a period of four years to be in attendance at the sessions of Whitehall High School. Thankful, indeed, to have such school opportunities in the very environments of her home life, she failed not to take advantage thereof. Study was Lottie's highest ambition that she might prepare real well for the secretarial work she will some time undertake to do. Lottie feels that, while the Whitehall High boys are above the average, into her awareness pops the resolution not to wait much on them, as it may take decades for these boys to make up their minds that it is not well for them to be alone. Having full faith in Whitehall High School. Lottie gave it all the support that lay within her power and, when she retreats from the wonderful spot and bears Home Again, she will feel better for having been here. Athletic Association U-2-3-4j,' Oratorical Con- test Dramalics MD, Literary Society UD. Come, now, let us sing this tuneful song And be patient when others are wrong. Esther believes that she will be a nutrition expert. She finds that the average man today eats I0 per cent. less than his grandfather did. and continues: Our fathers were fellows of substance and weight, They drank when they drank, and they ate when they ateg A They made a light breakfast of flapjacks and ple. They greeted corned beef with a ravenous cry, Their luncheon was pork chops, with beans on the side- They lived free and equal. And what was the sequel? They died. Esther took the stenographic course and will work in an office. Literary Society UD: Dramatics U-23-45, Athletic Association U-2-3-flj. Page Twenty-fue
