WILLIAM SCOTT RUSSELL. “Sometimes sit and thinff, Sometimes just sit.” W.ll lam comes from a family who have all been valedictorians or salutatorians of their classes, but I do not think William is so am¬ bitious. There’s not much gotten from read¬ ing, though, that he doesn ' t know. Keep coming to school with pep” every morning, William, and you ' ll succeed after awhile. ELIZABETH EWYING SACREY. “All the world loves a lover. Manager of the Basketball Team, 1919-1920. Libber has rightfully obtained the name of The Vamp with her wonderful auburn hair, and it is a known fact that she could give Alma Gluck a few points on singing, as well as Irene Castle on dancing. Libber’s’ present fad is furniture, and her newest is the Davenport.” With her many talents we have no fear for “Libber in the future. “5

EMELINE LEE STEARNS. “Precious packages are sometimes put up in small parcels. ' Dramatic Club. Why should the Senior Class of 1921 rob cradle? But little Emeline is all right. We are sure that she will some day receive the highest honors of the world for her fluent h rench. She is an actress, too, for we never have a successful play unless Emehne’s black curls and dark eyes are there as the leading lady. BERTHA MAYNARD WHITBECK. “A stitch in lime saves nine. H ere is a girl who is not a will ’o the wisp, but has a will of her own, and a sweet, one, too. Who can make a dress better than Bertha? Not only is she good on sewing but anything she does turns out a whooping success. She has an ambition to take up designing, and with her talent and persever- ence, we are sure that she will make success of it. 26
