Frances has been our school librarian for two years and in that situation attained the unique distinction of being a Junior in T , She is a very good librarian, thumbing her dinner buckets at a great rate of speed. Fran is also known to exercise her extensive vocabulary frequently. Frances is one of the youngest graduates. She has been having a great deal of trouble in deciding what school she will attend but at last the decision is made and she is going to Goucher College.

She possesses all the charm of a beguiling Span- ish senorita,-or perhaps if one may use such a homely metaphor, she is a cherry julepl An exhilarating beverage radiating minute, sparkling, beaded sprays. just like an effervescent julep, Rose has bubbled gaily in our presence and, what's more, we like it. Ro will grace some fortunate oftice and continue to charm this mediocre world. Russell Frederick Redding GLRUSS77 English Course A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Ir. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, Alt me, why slmulzl life all labor be? Sometimes we think that Russ does not always put first things first, but we are glad that he does not put them off until it is too late. Russ has surprised us in the winter by coming to school without a hat. This has happened so often that we would hesitate to recommend him as an accurate weather prophet. In Russell we have found a friend who is always willing to step over the half-way mark, we all like to do favors for him because he shows his appreciation. Russ is going to jerk sodas for another year, then he is going to the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science. ll'e like your sodas, Russ , so we'll all drink to your health and to your future.

THE MIRROR Ruth Stauff er Palmer ccRuc1ya7 Classical Course Ir. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Dramatics, '26, Girls' ll. B., '24, '25, Girls' Glee Club, '24, Jr. Civic Club, '24, '25, '26, '27, Girls' Hi-Y, '27, Torch Staff, '26. In her tongue is tlze law of kiml1zess. Rudy has several hobbies, the most important of which are dancing and sports. NVe have often tried to find out which she enjoys most, but -all to no avail. When Ruth hears some good music, her eyes begin to dance and her feet to move, but O, lNIy! you should see Rudy on the basketball fioor. She can out-jump almost anyone, and when she de- cides she is going to get the ball-O, Well! You might as well hand it to her. But these pleasures are not the only things in which Ruth excels, for she is also a tennis player of no mean ability. Ruth is going to Buchtel University next year and with her go our best wishes for success. Mabel Lucille Payne Commercial Course jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, Commercial Club, '27, Commercial Vlub Play, '27. Like 41 flower tlzat cannot all unfold. ln two senses lNlabel reminds one of arbutus. To really find and become acquainted with Mabel you must peep behind her mask of self- reserve just as you would lift the leaves to find a fragrant blossom of arbutus. 'l'here is no doubt that you will find a lovely blossom of true friendship behind her concealing leaves of reserve. Then, just as the faithful arbutus comes closely behind the heels of Spring, lylabel never takes the initiative but faithfully follows the leader. Mabel will do stenographic work in some office, where, we hope, success will await her. 'l'r.v ufj'-fum' 5713 George Russell Postlewaite Scientific Course Jr. Red Cross, '24, '25, '26, '27, A. A., '24, '25, '26, '27, Debating Society, '27, Bond Issue Speech, '27. Friends, I come not here to talk. George very rarely has anything to say, but when he does, it usually has great import and is generally clear and concise. But, if he feels out of place and awkward, he somehow finds it hard to enter into the discus- sion. However, he never fails to do his best and does not beat about the bush when he is not sure of himself. He is quiet, he has his own ver- sion of things, he has personality and he possesses a high sense of humor and wit which seldom crops out in his classes but which springs forth when he is at home with his friends. George is going to College but he doesn't know when or where.

Her emotional ahilities are so varied that she can make the stern Sphinx hold his sides with laughter, luring her merciless critics to tears, or even make a notor- ious Vhicago gun-man quiver with fear, by the mere intiection of her colorful voice. Of course she has had oddles of practice for she is always apparently chattering upon girlish nothings If Twila is not on the go , you may be sure she is reading a book in hot pursuit of the villain. Tidy is going to some school and we hope she decides to go to a school of elocution for that is decidedly her calling. less Time , '27. through a microscope.
