PURPLE AND WHITE LESLEY AI.DERMAN Q 19; R. T. C. T9; A. A. T6, T7, T8, T9. “Les” Alderman is first on our lists and we gri-et her with a round of applause. One of the t popular girls whom T9 ean claim, she has managed to obtain and keep the friendship of mo-1 of the school. She is good looking, witty, and fond of athletics—witness her championship in tennis, and her performances on the swimming team, basketball team, etc., etc. Then too, she is a member of that well-known ‘‘Handsome Quintet,” to which we have listened with so much pleasure. To sum her all up in a few words, “Les is an all-round good sport. “I'll put a girdle round the earth in forty min- utes.”—Shakespeare. AGNES ALLYN Q” T8, T9; R. T. C. T8; A. A. T7, T8, T9. It isn't hard to find things to say about Agnes Allyn! She's a genial sort of an individual, whom everybody knows and everybody likes. She’s one of those girls that always have a smile and cheery word for everyone—a comforting person to have around. And Agnes has always taken part in school affairs. In her Junior year, she was one of the cast in the class play, thus proving her talent in dramatics to the school and to the world. Besides, she's always been a loyal member of our school organizations. We all like Agnes Allyn, and wish her well for the future. “Earth's noblest thing—a woman perfected.”— Lowell. BERTHA AUTHIER “Q” '18, T9; R. T. C. '17, T8, T9; French '16, T7, '18, T9. Here's a musician from a musical family. Bertha certainly does play the piano wonder- fully. She has proven it to us in auditorium. Bertha’s talent is not confined to music alone, however. She is an actress. In the play pre- sented by the French Club during the past year, Bertha took the leading role. Indeed, she is one of the most loyal supporters of the French Club. In her studies, Bertha is unusually con- scientious and thorough. Her eagerness to learn makes her a joy to all her teachers; and her interest in everything going on, places her high in the esteem of her friends. Too early seen unknown, and known too late.” —Shakespeare. 21
