But behind this mask of fun lies something deeper, finer. She's a friend to everyone and the kind of a friend you like to have.

DONALD H. CRESSMAN lIDonl! Lansdale, Pa.-january l9, l9l6 lJonuld's actions would certainly lead one to think that time spent refraining from talking is often utilized in constructive thinking. At least, he has had no red trimmings on his report card as the result of mischief. Ho is able to swap opinions when involved in a C011- versnlions, and gives a good line on an occasion here and there. We don't know why IUon's appeals seem to be to the girls: but he surely can get along all right. Donald thinks he'd like to he an acconntantg here's wishing him lots of success. GEORGE CROUTHAMEL Crouty - Spats Lansdale, Pa.-October 7, l9l5 c Football tl-2-3-4-lg Basketball tl-2-3-4.Jg Baseball l-21. Spots became prominent in Lansdale Higlfs ath- letic annals as early as his Freshman year, when he participated in several football games. Since that time he has won seven major letters in football, basketball and baseball. Belwen practices he found time enough to demon- strate armstrong heaters to the girls of Souderton and Norristown. Crouty helievs in keeping his past and future a deep, dire secret, apparently, because in tive years we have learned almost nothing about him except that he doesn't haunt the Beehive with the rest of us, and that he goes in for piano-moving in a big way for a little outside exercise. Whatever he decides to do in the future, we know he'll get along.

Her ability to spell has enable her to enter the Pierce Business School spelling bee every year. She is also quite an accomplished pianist but it's hard to tell where the most interest lies, in the music or in the teacher. Gruce's marks rank among the highest in the Com- mercial Class. She also helps the school along by donating her services eveiy noon to the lunch room. We all wish you the best of luck, Grace, when y0u'1'e somebody's stenog. Page Tfwenly-ffve
