ELLA GARDNER. Basketball Team, 1912. Bright gems instinct with musicis' vocal spark. Here is one of our athletic girls, Central's dreaded center, and also, during the latter part of the year, a noted high-goal thrower. Ella carries away with her a well-deserved HC. She has also a very sweet voice which leads the sing- ing in German class. Her bright, happy face mirrors her sunny disposition. MARIE E. GATCHELL. A mild and seemly maiden. Marie certainly did earn her popularity among her classmates of the February group, with her friendly disposition. Her gay laugh often broke out in the class room and only served to echo again her merry moods. JEANETTE GERSHANICK. fennie. And join both profit and delight in one. Jennie is fascinating as well as clever, and the more you know her the more you like her. New York was kind enough to send us this little maid. Jennie's star subjects are history and civics Creference, Mr. Lampsonj. She also takes a great interest in debate. When she leaves Central, she expects to take up a course in po- litical science, 28

EDYTHE MARIE EVANS. You smiled, you spoke, and I believed, Bu! every tvard and smile deeei'z'ed. Edythe is another one of those girls who is especially interested in cadets. lt is queer how shoulder straps appeal to the feminine heart. Edythe tells us she spends a great deal of time studying, but we notice that she hnds plenty of time to attend all of the Tech dances. But, se- riously, she is a mighty jolly girl, and we all like her. Ask her who her favorite Bible char- acter is. The bet is she'll say the slayer of Goliath. ALBA VON EZDORF. She could songes make and well eztditef' We may say of Alba what can be said of but a few people. She is absolutely dependable. lf Alba says she will do a thing, it is Ado or die with her. Because of this and other Hne char- acteristics, we know that she will make a fine teacher. During the coming summer, Alba ex- pects to spend much time gardening, a pastime to which she is much addicted. FRANCES FLEMING. Francois, A daughter of the gods, DZ-Z'lA726l3' fall and mosz' dizuffzely fair. Although Frances has always lived in Wash- ington, she seems to Find Annapolis a much greater center of attraction. Social activities, studies, a good time, etc., are all the same to Frances, who takes everything with equinamity. She is going to Smith in the fall. and if she goes through college as serenely as she Went through high school, she'll make a wonderful teacher. 27

FLORENCE C. GOLDSWOIRTHY. A girl of o thousand graces. Florence was one of the most popular mem- bers of the mid-year class, as well as being one of the brightest-faced creatures who ever ap- peared in our midst. Her studies were on the same basis, too. HELEN VIRGINIA HARPER. To know her is to love her. Helen is another of our accomplished pianists. If one should glance at her reports, one would see nothing but E's and G's, and yet Helen is not one who is always studying, either. GERTRUDE HEILPRIN. Nature hen' was so laz'i.rh of her store That .che bestowed until .she could give no more. Gertrude has aided this year's Review and BRI-3CKY materially by her remarkable artistic talent. She is also a fine student. Gertrude has made many friends not only among her class- mates but all over the school. Next year she will study at the Corcoran Art Gallery. 29
