“Of what shall a man be proud if he is not proud of his friends?” — Stevenson. MARIE DOYLE Marie is French only in name and heels. Since she has imprisoned her abundant curls in a merciless hair net, her most prominent characteristic is an engaging smile and ready laugh. But why shouldn’t she smile when the Sunshine looks on her with such favor? Besides this optimistic personality, she has great skill in cooking and sewing, and is a good student. Long life to the girl and the smile! DOROTHY PECKHAM “ Dot ,” who has been one of us since the first grade, is one of the happiest girls in our class. She excels in read- ing, music and interpretive dancing. Then, too, when her license is not lost, she can drive the automobile until your bobbed hair stands on end. JOYCE ELMES Although Joyce has been with us but one short year, she has already found a place in our hearts. “Be glad, Joyce, for your friends are many.” MILDRED LEWIS Mildred is a true lover of Nature. We are sure she ■will follow in the footsteps of John Burroughs, her fa- vorite author. Once you have penetrated her reserve, a rich mind is revealed to you — a mind filled with not only a love of natui ' e, but of hooks, music and art. Mildred excels, also, when it comes to assisting in the social affairs of the class of ’22. Quietly, inconspicuously, she works, but with what results! Those who admired the decora- tions at the Senior Prom, those who marvelled at the suc- cess of the Senior Food Sale, those who will continuously discover her works in this Year Book, will realize why we extend to her such deep appreciation. But what sur- prises us most of all is her quiet humour. No one glanc- ing at her grave face would suspect it, but nevertheless, it is there. Perhaps at the end of four more years, we may have a fair estimate of Mildred Lewis’ rare character. [ 17 ]

“Of irluit shall a man be proud if he is not proud of Ms friends?” — Stevenson. MARIAN HAVILAND Marian is one of the best-hearted girls in the class. If you need help, whether it be with Burke, Carlyle or your Shorthand lesson, you can always depend on Marian. Ap- parently, she is a very quiet and studious girl, but let an opportunity for a joke occur and Marian will always rise to the occasion. As a poetess, Marian has shown her abil- ity especially in our Year-book, so if you see anything in these pages that does not exactly please you, remember that Marian probably said it just to make her poems rhyme and not to be a critic. We admire her for her good-natured disposition, but we would advise you not to arouse her indignation or you must suffer the consequences. ARTHUR SWANSON Arthur has been an unassuming member of the class ever since Freshman days. In spite of his bashful nature, he has occasionally evinced his admiration for the oppo- site sex. He is a born lover of animals and has an un- limited interest in farming. Although he is by no means an “unmanly boy,” he does what a real boy should do around the house to help. He likes all kinds of sport, especially golf. It may be said of Arthur that he is one who does every- thing to the best of his ability. He has the courtesy of the gentleman and is a good companion. MARY MORROW Fun-loving, adorable, capricious and sometimes (oh, just a little bit) mischievous is Mary Morrow. Many times her quick wit and clever ideas have saved us from a day of boredom. Whenever there is a repressed giggle in any part of the building, Mary is sure to be among the guilty ones and very often the cause of the unseemly mirth. Lessons are never so oppressive but that Mary has time for any fun; still her lessons are always ieady. Are you a genius, Mary? We wonder! Here’s hoping, Mary, that your success will continue all through the years to come. WILLIAM LOUMOS When our class is scattered, and memories are all that exist, we shall remember William by his stentorian voice. Billie surely has power behind his vocal organs. He gave an excellent exhibition of this during the Senior Debate, when he opened the muffler; for the audience had to hang on to the desks, in order to keep from being blown out of their seats. William intends to be a lawyer, and if you ever have need of professional services, we advise you to engage William, for if he cannot convince the court with his sound logic, he will intimidate it by his voice.
