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.”

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.

 28 THE CRESCEN T THOMAS DAVIES “Tommy.” “Let the great hook of the world be your principal study.” This star mathematician is a favorite with his teachers because of his quick correct answers. He is our only tme Welshman, but if they all shine like him we would like to have a dozen. May you make your mark in the world as you have in your school work, Thomas. M AR( 1ARET SWEENEY “Etta.” “A penny .for your thoughts.” Margaret, your rosy cheeks are the admiration of the boys and the envy of the girls. May their rosiness never fade and your gentle ways become not so. ESTHER YARLING “Red.” “Woman is most perfect when most womanly.” Esther has been with us for four years, although we did not get to know her very well because of her quiet and distant ways. Hut if you should meet her in that little burg of New Lancaster, watch out, you may be a victim of one of her jokes. EDNA STOOKEY “Key.” “Mingle a little folly with your wisdom.” Although Edna is very timid she is liked very much by her schoolmates. It is not known what her intentions are, but at any rate she is taking cooking lessons to prepare for the near future. ETHEL SNODGRASS “Peg.” “A lovely girl is above all rank.” Ethel is one of that ambitious branch of girls who wish to make a great name for themselves and so she became a star basket ball player. However, she is quite timid and demure until you know her.
