26 THE CRESCENT EMILY McCARTY “Mac.” “Music washes away from the soul the dust of every day life.” Long live our basket ball star. Emily is our mannish girl. Now we don’t mean a tomboy or nothin’ but just a womanly appearance with a man’s ideals. We hope to see her in congress in the course of time. DEXTER LEE “Dex.” “He had a face like a benediction.” Dex hails from the farm and is a very quiet fellow. But listen, you should have been at the ‘Club.’ He is not English ’cause he can sec through a joke before anyone else. MARGARET MICHEL “Peggy.” “Thoughts shut up want air and spoil.” Margaret is quite a little maid. And yet she’s not at all staid. No wedding bells for her will jingle, for she’s going to remain single. On the farm (If she can). KENNETH ZAHN “Kenny.” “All that glistens is not gold.” As Reddo’s name signifies he has red hair, and perhaps this explains why lie spends all the time from Dec. 1 to Nov. 30 at the famous summer resort, Kute’s-on-the-corners. It seems however, that a crowbar couldn’t separate Kenny from his grin. MARTHA PINOLE “Dutch.” “An honest countenance is the best passport.” We have reason to believe that Dutch is considering taking up work in the missionary fields of Africa as a secretary (?) to Rev. Arend. If she does we must quit call ing her Dutch for the Reverend will never be a Duke.

THE CRESCENT 23 CLYDE STATES “Statesy.” “Be first at a feast and last at a fight.” “Stilts” as a back guard was a wonder. Nothing hindered him from stopping fhe ball, except the ceiling and as for bis baskets, 0! My. He is not an egotist although he does look down on all the rest of us. GLADYS McCAMMON “Mickey. ’ “Splitting the air with noise.” Mickey, our little “Irish Colleen,” is noted for ''■ r excellency in her studies, her sparkling ' ■ winsome smiles and her flirting. A future Alma Gluck and actress as she proved as Celia in “Green Stockings.” HOWARD MOSIMAN “Mosie. “Keep your temper for no one else wants it. Howard is our champion athlete and captain of our football team. Ibis well known by the terrible cases which he develops. Mosie seems to have no regrets at leaving us, but we can’t say the same. RUTH LOYD Babe. “She who means no mischief does it all. Ruth s little but mighty and especially in English class. She seems to have lots of trouble cf her own but we hope she will outgrow them and show her own true jolly self. RALPH SNELSON “Snick. “No one loves a fat girl, hut I’m an exception.” Snick, the fellow with an eye for business. A printer’s devil now, but a future editor, we hope.

THE CRESCENT 27 LAWRENCE SPOON ER “Specks.” “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.” Roth of “Spooner’s” names seem to indicate that he is Irish and judging from his ever-readv smile he surely must hail from the ‘auld soii.’ Is now one of our brilliant History students and present indications point him out as a far-sighted Historian. HAZEL ROACH “Hay.” “When in doubt as to ‘him,’ don’t take him.” Hazel is a demure little country lass who on further acquaintance is found to be more dangerous than she seems. She had us all “skinned” when it came to English and was good as “Evelyn” in “Green Stockings” DeWITT TREES “Sister.” “He that wants should not be bashful.” DeWitt's curly hair, rosy cheeks and baby eyes are very misleading. We all know he isn’t as innocent as he looks. ELIZABETH PARKER “Anna.” “A true friend is forever a friend.” Our canary bird. She not only has a lovely voice but a face to match it and is one of the most universally esteemed girls of us all. At present she is interested in a band near here. MELFOR1) McCANN “Shorty.” “Brevity is the soul of wit.” Although not on the staff, this witty fellow was chief flunkey of the editors. What he lacks in size he makes up in brains and a sense of humor. lie is quite popular, especially with the girls and made a good “Robert Tarver” in “Green Stockings.”
