Class Motto: “To be rather than to seem.’’ MARGARET COOK Margaret Cook appears to be a quiet member of the class, but to those who know her, she is very talkative and full of jokes. Wherever she may be, there is always a smile on her face. “Be accommodating,” is her motto. There is always a smile and a “Yes” when she is asked to do some favor. ANNA RICHARDSON Caesar had his Brutus; Charles the First, his Cromwell; but Edmund Burke, his Anna. She may be very quiet and demure, but she surely gets results. But Burke is not the only one whom she has conquered— Noah Webster must soon resign himself to his fate, for all his secrets will be known by Anna. In sewing, too, she is renowned, for w r e have been informed that she is a clever little seamstress. ARTHUR TIBBALS Just like this fellow to hike all the way from Los Angeles just in time to become a member of the Class of ’22. Lady Luck is his boon companion; autos are his hobby, and the subject of many a long one-sided discussion. Let him sell you one. It is worth the money to hear his line — he’ll tell you anything! Arthur ranks only second to William Loumos in the use of grandiloquent language, and indeed we are told he sometimes soars to the realm of poetry. As for brilliancy, “Tib” shines above the neck, speaking both figuratively and literally. PAULINE STRONG It is well known that Pauline’s name coincides with her physique, for she, the daughter of Hercules, has often saved the class reputation in gymnastics. On the other hand, perhaps Pauline is not exactly a strong student. Never-the-less, we expect that the strong mind acknowl- edged to be hers, after a strong will power has been de- vloped, will develop its strong powers of reasoning, so we shall have a strong impression of the strong character of Pauline Strong.

“Of what shall a man be proud if he is not proud of Ms friends?” — Stevenson. ROSE ALEXANDER Rose very cleverly dresses her hair to correspond with the standard of her lessons. Indeed, we wonder how she places a hat on such a high coiffure. In basketball, she excels, having won both class numerals and letters in that sport. She acted as captain of her team while in the Junior Class. BARBARA GREELISH Poor Barbara’s greatest trial is the taming of her curly locks. As this takes time, and Barbara has none be- tween her arrival and the beginning of school, the afore- said locks have their own sweet way. Perhaps this is fortunate, for they hide her blushing embarrassment in English. Barbara is very reserved and shy in school, but once she steps outside, she sheds that atmosphere like a cloak and reveals a spirit full of life and bubbling over with fun. RALPH BRASSILL “Ralphie” is our “Dapper Dan.” It isn’t necessary to see Ralph’s face to know of his proximity; his cravats loudly proclaim his arrival before his freckled countenance comes into view. But Ralph’s good qualities are many. He is very popular, a good student, and especially profi- cient in all phases of athletics. PAULINE CURTIS They say that fat people are lazy. Therefore, we are inclined to think that our energetic Pauline is not fat. If you want to start something, dx-op a hint to Pauline. It is her hobby. But the best of it is, she will stay to the finish. Not only is Pauline capable in this line, but in singing and writing also. With her untiring enthusiasm and vigor, she wall surely win her way in the world. [ 26 ]

“Of wliat shall a man h( proud if he is not proud of his friends ?” — Stevenson. OLIVE GREER Olive Greer is a petite, vivacious miss, with big brown eyes and blonde, curly hair. When Olive recites, we all love to listen to her sweet voice and sit in rapt attention. But, however, when Olive deigns to sneeze, we are all moved to mirth. Because of her sweet personality, little Miss Greer is one of our most popular girls. DANIEL MILLETT Little? But, oh my! Danny is the sort of fellow who is as hard to move from his view-point as William Jen- nings Bryan. Some college is going to miss a dandy all- round sport and a mighty good student unless our future poultry farmer changes his plans for life. Now, Dan, chickens are all right on the sideline, but don’t they get monotonous after a while? Putting all jokes aside, we are ready to back up Daniel Millett in anything that he has thought out and considers good stuff. All in all, Dan, we are for you soul, heart, and mit. Let the world know that you are in it, and you wall soon be where you belong — at the top. MARY DONAVAN Mary is a very quiet person, but when reciting in Eng- lish, she usually can surpass the majority. When basket ball is mentioned, too, Mary’s tongue is ever willing to support her favorite sport. We hope that even when she leaves school, there will always be someone handy to lend her “a pencil and a piece of paper.” MILDRED SHEDD “ Sheddie ” Mildred Shedd without chocolate- cake would be incom- plete. Every recess time, Mildred may be seen munching slowly on that appetizing bit of cookery. I wonder if it causes freckles? Maybe a particularly large piece caused that one on the end of her nose. Perhaps this causes leth- argy, also, for it is a well-known fact that Mildred’s bed soothes her as long as possible and that at 8:14 4 Mildred comes breathlessly into 207. But in spite of these idiosyn- crasies, Mildred is a very sweet girl, loved by those who are fortunate enough to know her. [28]
