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.

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 CAROLINE SMEDLEY Carol Ardmore, Pa. Entered '25 Non-Resident Advertising Manager of The Blue Moon '25-'26 Blue Team '26 The mildest manners and the greatest heart. HO is the quietest girl in the Class? Why, of course, Caroline is-our sweet little Quaker maid. She is a persevering student and would never dream of going to class with a lesson unprepared. Although she is dignified and quiet, she is always willing to join in and lend a helping hand, no matter how difficult the task, Caroline is always smiling and cheerfully performs it. There is not one sport or game in school that Caroline,does not enter into with great enthusiasm. ln fact, she is never missing when there is any function at school. When Caroline is not busy doing something for Caskin's, she is interested in Camp Aloha. Here Caroline spends her summers, and very enjoyable and interesting ones they must be, to hear Caroline tell about them. And speaking of the things that Caro- line does for us all, we mustn't forget to mention the wonderful tea that she gave, to which the lucky Seniors were invited, and about which the rest of us heard alluring details. ' Caroline has a most decided gift for music, and next year she is planning to go on with her studies along this line. Perhaps some time the alumnae of Caskin's will be able to join that proud and hearty band of I knew her when-. And not only will we have many nice things to say about her playing in that long-ago year '26, but we will have many nice things to say about her sweet smile and readiness to help, and her quiet, charming personality.
