OUR 1921 ANNUAL LILLIAN THOMPSON CRAIG “She has common sense in a way that’s uncommon.' “Lil” Larkin Grammar School Class spirit? Li] may look quiet, but she is there with enthusiasm every time, Lil has the reputation of being: a hustler. She has convinced us that everything she (loos, she does well. For instance, look in the Who’s Who Department of the Spectrum. Lil’s ability does not end there by far. She is quite an elocutionist. She has entertained us in Chapel on several occasions, and she gave a very interesting selection in our Junior Recital. Lil has loads of friends in Chester. How- ever. she bids farewell to us when vacation arrives. She seems to have cultivated a very soft place in her heart for New York. ISAAC PARKER CROWTHER “Content to live but not to work.’ Lai kin Grammar School “Ik” Duke Ik” might be caiied the man with the smile. This smile, with his winning personality, has won him many friends in C. II. S. In spite of his cheerfulness. Duke usually takes serious par.s in plays. In his Junior year he took the part of George Washington in a short sketch. This year he was the Doctor in our sketch fer the Freshman Reception. Ik Crowther’s face is pink and fair. He’s tall and lank and lean. A right straight part is in his hair. And mussed it ne’er was seen. Oh. she’s little, but she’s wise. She’s u terror for her size; Always ready for some fun; And she’s liked by everyone. Ik never bluffs, and doesn’t shirk(?) And no.—he never blushes! ?) He always does his share of work(?) And yes,—he always rushes!?)

OUR 1921 ANNUAL MILDRED MORTON CONN I’ll speak in a monstrous little voice’ “Milly” Conny” Larkin Grammar School CATHERINE MAY CONRAD Thou art pale in mighty studies grown Larkin Grammar School ■Kitty Conny is one of the silent brigade. You wouldn’t think to see her in school that she could talk, but at home, or out with her crowd, she’s as noisy as the next one. She is fond of dancing and especially of football games; she never misses one. We’re trying hard to find out why, but Mil is more silent than ever on that subpect, if such a thing could be. Conny is a good cook and the man that gets her certainly will be in luck. For he’ll be getting not only a good cook, but what is even more rare, a silent woman! A suffragette she’ll surely be. Of that we have no doubt; For when she'» bustling down the hall, All others, please look out. Behold! the door opens and in steps an alert 11.tie lady. She is Catherine Conrad, our star girl debater; a fellow has no chance with Catherine as his opponent, for she has such an exceptional ability for argumentation. Not only as a debater does she excel, but also as a student. We congratulate her upon her success in winning the MacDade Scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. Miss Conrad has the honor of be- ing president of the French Circle, vice-president of Social Service, and secretary of Debating Club, proving her efficiency in each of these offices. With all this executive abili.y that Catherine has, wouldn't it be interesting if some day we should be asked to call on Presidentess Conrad” at the White House? Our Catherine burns the midnight oil. While pouring o’er her books of toil; Debating affords her lots of fun. And she’s an honor to '21. 26

HELEN MYRTLE CULLIS “Behold, I am a nymph. OUR 1921 ANNUAL Larkin Grammar School One of the most graceful ladies in our class is Helen Cullis. She belongs to the dancing class at the Y. W. C. A. and in her Junior year gave us an exhibition of her art. Helen also debated. She was alternate for the gills' team in 1920. When she leaves these old walls (’. H. S. will surely lose a student and a friend. “Xo sleep till morn, when youth and pleasure meet To chase the glowing hours with flying feet. LENA DAVIDOWITZ The choicest things in lift come in small packages. Franklin Gramma i School “Hen Franklin School sent Lena as one of its best delegates. Lena took the commercial course and has done splendid work. You should see her work a typewriter; maybe she can’t make it go—and she doesn’t use the P. and H. System, either! Len is about one of the smallest daughters of 1921; one can scarcely realize how short she is unless he has seen her stand- ing in front of the measuring stick which was recently used to designate our heights. Len is seldom seen alone; Jennie is always with her, and, indeed, the two of them certainly make the “long and short” of things. The most attractive charm that Lena possesses is that winning smile which never wears off. There is no doubt that her future will be a decided success, if she keeps right on a smiling. A hearty nature and a merry smile Will mean success to you. mile by mile.
