THE BLUE MOON ANITA RENEE KAUFMAN flNi,all New York City Entered '25 Literary Editor of The Blue Moon '25-'26 Blue Team '26 Knowledge is the foundation and source of good writing. 66 ITA! O Nita-where is your whatchamacallet ? We hear this wild call every hour of the waking day issuing out of room seven or eight--only to find that the watchamacallet is in its proper place-and maybe some dates or nuts or some such longed-for edible near it, to which you are perfectly welcome. Now, what do you really think of lklichael Arlen ? Again Nita shines 'cause there is no book or author or literary light that can hide under a bushel out of the sight of Nita, How she gets it is a mystery to the other poor souls, who have to rack their brains to remember who wrote 4'Grimm's Fairy Tales. But all joking aside, Nita is darn worth while, and we've decided that if she does get tucked away in some Idaho potato farm it will be over our dead bodies. You see, we are all concentrating on Cambridge and the law--who can escape that? Nita is not what you might call athletically inclined, but she is the best little rooter in the school, and when the teams hear her husky voice cheering for them they certainly give all they have. As far as we have been able to find out, Nita has only one failing. You see, she is French, and no doubt that is the reason Why cinnamon buns tempt her so. Whenever she is missing from our ranks, we can take it for granted that Mr. Mclntire has had a caller, and that caller spent her monthly allowance on those horrid buns. But you are always invited to join in on her bun orgies, so it really isn't a bad trait to have after all, and her very English air rawther outshines everything else around here, anyway. Yes! You've guessed it-we do think our Nita is a pretty O. K, specimen, and we're not afraid to tell the world so, either. IMPRESSIONISTIC PICTURE 2 Purple pansies in the sunlight. New York at midnight.

THE BLUE MOON CHARLOTTE LOUISE COLES llcharfl Troy, Ohio Entered '25 Valedictorian '26 Hockey Team '25-'26 Blue Team '26 True wit is like the brilliant stone Dug from the Indian mine. WORD from the wise is sullicient if one ma twist a maxim and in this case n by , I sullicient to set us all into gales of laughter at just the proper moment, whether it be a dramatic moment or just a plain moment, we can count on Charlotte for the wit. The wiseness is self-evident. She is our valedictorian, well chosen and heartily applauded. just incidentally, she hails from Troy, Ohio, a city so gruesome that we might feel quite some apprehension about sending her home, but there are Princeton men in Troy, too, and what's a murderer or two to a Princeton man when Charlotte's safety is involved? Nor can we close without a mention of dramatics. Twice Charlotte has deserted her sex to play stronger roles, as it were, on both occasions she was knockout, In the Senior play we caught her herself again, and none the less dramatic. She ives us a lot ' h fi ld g in t at e , too. Neither will she quit our portals the same demure child she was at entrance. Long, wavy locks, smart earrings and countless gowns, quite rivaling Paquin, yet products of her own art, are among the big acquisitions. And wherever these same wavy locks go in the years to come, there will be warm thoughts waiting from all of us, won't there? You bet! Imvmsssiomsric Picrunez Apple blossoms on an oak chest.

THE BLUE MOGN ISABEL PRIESTLEY LAY Curly Oil City, Pa. Entered '25 Assistant Joke Editor of The Blue Moon '25-'26 May Queen's Maid of Honor '26 Gold Team '26 A daughter of the gods, divinely tall, And most divinely fair. URLY'S golden hair is all that her nickname implies, for it retains its beautiful wave in spite of heat or rain. It is so perfect that she is often accused of having just had a Marcel or permanent. She smiles sweetly and informs one that it is natural. One of Cur1y's many accomplishments is dressmaking, and we should not be surprised if she were one day to be world-famous in this art. She appears frequently in smart new frocks, and when questioned she often admits modestly that she has made them herself. We sigh enviously and think of the clothes we might have if We could but sew. We shall all remember Curly's splendid male impersonation as Lancelot Briggs in The Trysting Place on Dramatic Night, and as Willie Baxter in Seventeen, the Senior play. She is excellent in such parts, even though she is thoroughly feminine in appearance in everyday life. That we all admire Curly is made evident by our voting in the school statistics. Being attractive is not her only attribute, however, and we all respect her for her intelli- gence and dignity of manner. We feel certain, Curly, that your charm will bring you great success and happiness in life. IMPRESSIONISTIC PICTURE I ' Swans on a clear gold pond. A black lace parasol. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
