THE PARTHENON 19 Doyle, Edna—“Eddie”......................C. P. French 242 North 5th Street...............Undecided I hate nobody. 1 am in charity with the world.” What is the best descriptive word for a young lady who plays hockey and basketball: who gets high marks in gym; who is a fine gym captain? Why, athletic, of course! Such is Edna. But athletics is not the whole thing in Bar- tinger as Edna realized. Therefore she joined the Science Club, French Circle and was a member of the Parthenon Board. She was also prominent on the IB Reception Com- mittee and 4B Social Committee. Edelstein, Lena— Palestine . C. P. French 275 Park Avenue...................“Simmons “The reason firm, the temperate will Endurance, foresight, strength and skill.” Readers, this is not the Lena from Palestine but our own renowned Lena of Room 31.

We arc trying to imagine how Sol- omon will sound, wisely expounding doctrines in Spanish. For to him Spanish is more of an obsession than one can guess.

20 THE PARTHENON English, Jean—“Bubbles”. . . Arts Course 21 Fabyan Place........................ Undecided “Wit, love, and beauty in her person shine.” Jean’s nickname is certainly appropriate as she is always bubbling over with some witty remark. Even when she is told by a teacher that she is due for detention on account of her eternal tardiness she is the same pleasant Jean. But we are sure it was not “Bubbles’” tardiness but her many loving characteristics which got her into the («iris' Patriotic League, IB Reception Committee, Alumnae Committee, 4A Entertainment Committee, Parthenon. Beta Pappa Phil and Sigma Chi. Fitzsimmons, Howard— Fitz”.. .

General Spanish 248 Clifton Avenue.........Brown University “He wears the rose of youth upon him.” We all know Hugh too, and we all like him. He is never known to frown. Hugh has been on the track team since 1919 and he played on the hockey team in 1920 and ’21 ’Varsity baseball is another one of Hugh’s successes. He belongs to the Science Club, the Radio Club and the Span- ish Club. The Commencement Committee gave Hugh a good opportunity to work off some of his energy. Frey, Eugene— Genie”...........................C. P. French 89 Third Avenue...................... Rutgers “Poor, poor lad, he seems overworked.” One of the great wonders of Barringer is to decide whether Genic” is going to cry or not when he flunks a test. He has what one calls a serious sense of humor. Anyhow he doesn’t lack school spirit because he belonged to the French Circle, Science Club. Radio Club. Senior Acropolis Board, 1 B Reception Committee and the 4A So- cial Committee.
