7W1yNf if 1 'f EGARGUYLEXIHEE , ARLENE BARNES Three Years College Preparatory for Vassar Athletic Association Treasurer of Class of 1926 President of Student Government Dramatic Club Choir Reserve Hockey Team QSub.j GARGOYLE Board Senior Ring Committee Wearer of E. W. A Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul. RL has a dual personality, Everyone in school knows her as our dignified and capable leader along the uncertain paths of Student Government. She has for the position the qualifying traits of determination and foresight. Being class treasurer is no easy task, but we confidently chose Arl, knowing she would success- fully manage our finances. Some of us are fortunate in knowing Arl's other side. She is a true friend and a delightful companion. Whether addressing the girls, or talking informally, her sparkling personality, her tact, and her power of express- ing herself fluently, make her deservedly popular. Twenty- six remembers with pride when Arl won the debate for us - - by her forceful speech and clear thought, There are many qualities we admire in the modern girl, but, after all, are not loyalty, sincerity, and faithful- ness to friends and to an ideal, those which hold our lasting admiration? They are some of the qualities we have found in Arl, and are a few of the reasons for our enduring love for her. 15

GARGUYLEIHEE . CATI-IARINE BAKER Two Years General Course Athletic Association Glee Club Choir Reserve Social Committee Senior Play On with the dance! Let joy be unconfned! AY not only trips the light fantastic toe on Saturday nights in the gymnasium but also trips through the dreary routine of week days. She is never too busy to cheer us, whether it be with the latest dance steps or with an amusing episode. It isn't that Cay is frivolousg she is just a born optimist. Nothing is so dark that she can't see light shining through. But Cay has moments of seriousness. She is a helpful friend and classmate, an ever-sympathetic listener to a tale of woe, and a cheerful aid. She is probably most serious when she is pursuing knowledge in the li- brary. We really can't help admiring Cay's quick trans- formation from a gay, lively person to a meditative student. ' ' With her fine power of concentration she gains results. 14

' GARGOYLEIEIEB L JANE BoLToN Three Years College Preparatory for Smith Athletic Association Hockey Team Dress Committee Library Committee Wearing her wisdom lightly. ANE is the most naturally brilliant student one could imagine. She does not have to study 5 she just seems to absorb knowledge. Oddly enough, she is always quite convinced just before reports appear that she has failed in everything. Strange to state, however, her report usually contains a monotonous string of A's. jane is not only a good scholar but is also efficient in other lines. She is a star wing on'zo's hockey teamg she is a clever conversationalist, and imparts surprisingly enlightening knowledge on all subjects. lt seems almost unbelievable that one small person can possess so much information, all of which is extremely interesting to the group of individuals who come from a certain mid-western city. We are not quite sure whether it is ,lanes superior in- telligence or her attractive personality which makes her on intimate terms with the Faculty. Although we justly envy Janes abilities, we are equally proud to have her for our classmate. I6
