CLASS '25 BOOK 3 Margaret Wilson Cunnirjgham Slie is a bonnie wee thing Greta is a typical Scotch lassie born where the bagpipes skirl. She seems to be very demure, but those twinkling eyes contain myriads of sparkling humor. She is an ex- cellent dancer, and it is rumored that she frequently in- dulges in the Highland Fling. School work is Greta's forte. If it were not for her Scotch characteristics, we would be influenced to believe her a French girl on account of her modish attire and ability to parlez-vous. Alfred James Dailey All things come to him who stands and waits Alfred is so unobtrusive that he walks on his tiptoes for fear of making a noise. He lives just on the other side of Moran Square. Even so, he does not get much practice for track because he starts for school too early. Glee Club, Band, Baseball, Track. Stanley Earl Dalbeck Keep her for she is thy life It seems that Dolly's favorite pastime is hanging around the second floor at recess time. It's funny how he always picks on the short and cute ones. A good sport, he has taken part in football and basket-ball. He believes also in doing some of his lessons which is unusual for a young man in his position. Baseball (3-4), Football (4). Mary Leah Daley Jest so that it may not become earnest When Irish eyes are smiling and a hearty spasm of laughter shakes the air, know ye without further introduc- tion that the lady is Mary. Her motto is Omnibus at 7.15 A.M. and 2 P. M., always excepting chance social en- gagements in 26. Mary is rather a remarkable gymnast, and her lively and graceful antics on the floor of the As- sembly Hall, have often aroused snappy comment from Miss Collins. Her real specialty, however, is the Swanee River clog, at which she is adept. It is our heartfelt wish that Mary's future path in life may include no prone-falls or even deep-knee bends. Paul Richard DeBarge Perseverence keeps honor bright Paul is considered one of the popular boys of the class, especially by the fairer sex. Perhaps his snappy appear- ance plus his rosy blush, contribute largely to his success. Elizabeth, his Ford, accompanies him to school every day. Hunting is Paul's favorite amusement and not infrequently does he bring home the bacon. Paul is employed every second week, but he certainly makes up for lost time the next. 18
