L 6 ELEN -we either run for the radiators or our coats, because it will either be windows thrown wide open or everyone taken for a walk, so Prepared- ness is our motto. You see, Helen just can't get over the idea that this is Pennsylvania and not California climate, but if walking and fresh air can give us com- plexions and dispositions like Helen's we're for bigger and better walks. Some people can't see why you should come from so far away to school, but we all know that Helen came to spread sunshine, 'cause there are never any clouds when she is around, unless clouds of dust. Who but Helen could keep the enemy away from our goal in hockey games with her ferocious scowl and mighty arm? Who but Helen could attempt to race with Duke Kahanamoku in his native waters of Hawaii? Who but Helen can play such a mean game of tennis? And who else could hob-nob around with Helen Wills, and who can store away so many carrots? You see, there are so many things in which she excels that there has to be a halt some- where. We all love Helen, and that's just about the peak of success in this old world, anyway, and the longer we know her the more we love her- Darn Tootin'. Impksssromsric Prcrmuz: The beach at Waikiki.

THE BLUE MGON ANN SHAW HOLLOWAY Annie Bala-Cynwyd, Pa. Entered '24 Treasurer Junior College Class '25-'26 Non-Resident Advertising Manager of The Blue Moon '25-'26 Gold Team '26 May Queen's Maid of Honor '26 I know a reasonable woman, Jolly, witty, and friend of all. E all know what a gloomy day is, and most of us can remember one of those days that started out dark and dreary. Suddenly, as if by magic, the sun came out and made everything spin and all the sordid things bright! Fine! Then put Ann, our peppy and dashing blonde, in the sun's place, and you will see that she has the same effect as the sun wherever she goes. But here's where we have one on the sun, because we can have Ann on the darkest days, and even at night, for her radiance never sets. Ann has not only an enviable personality, but numberless accomplishments. just give her a piano and' see if you can keep your feet still! Indeed, she is the inspira- tion of the school and keeps us informed concerning all the newest plays, music and: dance steps. We all prophesy that soon Ann Pennington herself will have to step aside and acknowledge our Ann as her successor. With all these attributes there is only one fault that can be found. You see, Ann is a day pupil, and we feel that she neglects us a bit in leaving so early each day. But, after all, who can blame her, it would be hard for one so vivacious and charming to give to all her admirers as much of her time as we would like. How could one so gifted ever decide which one of her accomplishments to pursue? N0 matter which is your choice, Ann, we know that you will go over the top with applause and music.

THE BLUE MOON zmzbr College fbktory NLY two short years, but even so, we've developed quite a class. We started with Quality, not Quantity, for Margaret Taylor and Ann Holloway began the voyage alone. Margaret thought Penn was nicer than Lafayette, so she left Easton for Philadelphia. And Ann, not wanting to leave home, joined us as a day pupil. This year these two were joined by eight husky companions. Shall we enumerate? First, the Smoky City only allowed us one of its infants this year. Stewiels small, but- that's not all that counts. Then from out of the wild and woolly West came Helen Whittier. When looking for her always look out of doors First. The Middle West refused to be outdone by California, so in came Mary Ellen, our social light. Are there any more as nice as you out there, Mary Ellen? Sally Adams and Ann Timber- lake kept up the reputation for the Hoosier State. Now we want to see more of Indianapolis. To keep us up on Presidential affairs, Dorothy Duff came up from Washington, and that, like everything else she does, she has done well. Western Penn- sylvania is also represented. Louise May tells us that Connellsville is quite a wonderful place. Though l'm just about through, Dode Messer has to come slipping in-like the greasy girl she would be coming from Oil City, and says that, after all, Pennsy is the best state to live in. Soon after school opened we joined forces and elected officers: Mary Eleanor Stewart, President, Margaret Taylor, Vice-President, Josephine Messer, Secretary, Mary Ellen McLaughlin, Treasurer. ' Our activities haven't been many, but we succeeded in being successful in the Shooting of Dan McGrew late in November. In the latter part of lllay, Mrs. Caskin and the graduates had their annual picnic, at which we all proved our ability to eat, and we wonder if we can attend next year. Mrs. Caskin entertained the graduates at a luncheon at the Bellevue on June 2. Although it surpassed all previous ones, it lacked the speedy descent of last year. Many of us graduate this year, including Mary Eleanor Stewart, Margaret Taylor, Mary Ellen McLaughlin, Josephine lllesser, Helen Whittier, and Ann Holloway, but we have great confidence that Sally, Ann and Dot can 'icarry on for us.
