OUR 1 9 2 9 ANNUAL 29 MARSDEN FIRTH Inscrutable as the Sphinx. To look at him, who would ever imagine that Marsden is a ladies’ man, a pugilist, a horseman, and Miss Wagner’s pride and joy? He is all this, and more. Who would suspect that his mind is seething with some plan that makes him the “life of the party”? That’s the reputation he brought hack from Washington. Add to the above the following: Marsden is a good scout and a terrible tease. Now you have a brief account of him, and you just can’t help joining in our best wishes for his future luck, can you? EMILY FLOYD If we were to have a giggling con- test, I am sure Emily would win it. Nevertheless this docs not detract from her merry personality. Emily is one of our commercial stu- dents. and some day, she will be busy “clicking the keys for her boss. We are sure she will be quite successful, for as a student she has always been first rate. BESSIE GERBER ‘Betty’ “Bets” A dignified young lady floats down the corridors: it’s “Betty!” How can we mistake this “preferred” blonde? Her good humor has kept us in a happy frame of mind for four years. She is one of our classmates who appear on the honor roll frequently. We know she will be a successful teacher, be- cause of her many good qualities.

George has been very active as a member of the Literary. Dramatic, and Debating Societies, and if you do not hear his name read from the Honor Roll, there is some mistake. It should be there.
