TIIK CRESCENT 21 ROY MITCHELL “Mitch. “If you wish men to speak well of you, never speak well of yourself.” Iioy is one of our bright lads who is whistling his way to fame. Among his hobbies are foot ball, basket ball and going with the girls. In leaving he leaves behind him a string of broken hearts as long as your arm, but is still adored by all of them. LEONA BENSON. “Benny.” “She lives long that lives well.” Leona always has a smile for every one. Is determined and self-possessed. How she does “shine” and argue in history. MAURICE FAHERTY “Maurie.” “A man’s a man for a’ that.” Manrie, the shoe man. An all around business fellow and the delight of all the girls. As popular in High School as “Wally Reid in the movies.” JANET COURTNEY “Jeanne.” “If thou lovest learning thou shalt be learned.” This little sunbeam comes from the country and brings joy to all who know her. Even “Pop” is not vexed when she arrives at 10 a. m. She receives a box of candy each month from Montana which reminds her that there are Grays in other places besides Ehvood. RAYMOND FAHERTY “Ray.” “Look what a little vain dust we are.” Ray is the envy of all the girls and a jolly fellow among the boys. Ray has been with us during his Junior and Senior years only, but he has made a decided hit and starred as “Henry Steele” in “Green Stockings.”

20 T IIE CRESCENT ANN LEWIS “Hubertie.” “Laugh and grow fat.” Ann is our assistant joke editor and a better one could not be found. She is known by her love for chocolate candy and “Snick.” Any moment you can hear her laughing or giggling. THELMA NEWKIRK “Billy.” “All meat is to be eaten, all maids to be wed.” Billy, with cheeks like roses and hair to match. No wonder you captivate us all. But beware boys, she’s a cunning “vampire.” HELEN DRAPER “Patty.” “Do you know a young and beautiful woman who is not ready to flirt— just a little?” Helen is our curly headed literary editor. You may think she is a very bashful girl, but “Oh Boy,” you should have been at a certain party and seen her flirt. However she is going to be a nurse and is sure to be a success. WILLIAM AUSTILL “Weevum.” “He that eats and saves, sets the table twice.” “Hungry” ----- is noted for his laughing and was the bench warmer in our basket ball team. He takes the sunny side of life and love affairs never trouble “Bill.” Last, but not least, lie is our joke editor (Good luck to “effervescence.”) He made a good looking “Admiral” in “Green Stockings,” too. WILLIAM HIATT “Professor. “Even though vanquished he could argue still.” William is our energetic business manager, who takes the serious side (f life. He’s noted for his curly hair and large shell rimmed spectacles, both of which he just “adores. Bill was all right as “James Raleign” in “Green Stockings.” He’s very much interested in electricity and we see his future as a great electrician. But O, Bill don’t get shocked.

22 THE CRESCENT ELIZABETH MYERS “Betty.” “She loves him best who lives back East.” Our star performer in “Katcha-Koo.” Gifted as musician. Elizabeth has a decided will of her own and uses it frequently. Ask certain Senior boys. She is also our Class Chauffeur. JOE CARPENTER “Oogie.” “Twinkle, twinkle little star.” Joe is a tall, lanky fellow, who would be two feet taller if so much of him was not bent under in the form of feet. Besides being known as a fellow with a healthy appetite, he has the ability of a good singer and he also made a good “Martin” in “Green Stockings.” MARGUERITE O’BRIEN “Bugs.” A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Marguerite belongs to that bunch which is always whispering in the halls, then laughing and looking mysterious. They have a monopoly on her and we do not know her as well as we would have liked. AUGUST COTTON “Gus.” “A sunny spot of greenery.” Cotton, the Frenchman with wavy dark hair and rosy cheeks; a friend to all, an enemy to none. Our future chemist. ELLEN FOLAND “Melinda.” “All’s one to her; above her fan she’d make sweet eyes to Caliban.” Ellen arrives in her Ford from the country each Monday, but nevertheless she always is in the swim of things. Noted for her hair dressing and Elizabeth. Her one fear is that a certain country fellow will find out what she said about him.
