Class Motto: “To be rather than to seem.” MARJORIE FROST Wherever there is excitement, there, also, is Marjorie. She is full of “pep” and good fun, but when the occasion calls, she is as reserved and decorous as any. She led her class basket-ball team to a glorious victory, vanquishing all opposition. READ WIGHT It was a re-awakening for the Class of ’22 when this dapper gentleman of obvious talent was opportunely or- dained President. With him at the helm, all things are possible because of his magnetic personality and demo- cratic spirit. Actor, artist, writer and humorist, but most of all, true gentleman as he is, he cannot help but succeed in the world. OLIVE BLAIR It is said that brunettes are steadier and more reliable than blondes. If this is so, Olive Blair possesses those admirable qualities to a great degree. Olive is a music lover and can play the piano and sing. Furthermore, she is a capable dressmaker, having taken advantage of our splendid course in that line. RUTH ROBINSON Ruth is our quiet, unassuming little lass of 208. Never- theless, she is one of the class favorites. We do not wonder at this, because she has a smile for everyone. She is very industrious, and her progress in the Sewing Depart- ment has been especially noticeable. Happiness, we know, will accompany her journey through life. [ 29 ]

“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]

“Of what shall a man he proud if he is not proud of Ms friends?” — Stevenson SYLVESTER MEADE “Ducky Sylvester Meade has been very prominent in athletics, having been a member of the Basket Ball Team and also of the Hocky Team in his senior year. He is of a very quiet and friendly nature and is well liked by all his class- mates and also by his Teachers. GENEVIEVE STEELE Every graduating class has its beauty, its humorist, its brilliant students, but what class has a combination of them all? Genevieve possesses all these virtues, with the result: a quiet, studious gixd, who is always in the right place. If it is a game, Gen’s voice cheers as loud as the rest; if it is a study, her work is admirable; and in con- versation “Gen is very interesting. FRED PETERSON What a frolicsome lad is Fred! But he is a faithful student. We all know that Fred is now dancing, not quite to fame, but to his own enjoyment. He has always enjoyed sports, and we believe that Belmont is fortunate to have such an excellent manager in Baseball. [30]
