When Polly goes to France all the natives will probably sit around with their mouths open listening to her amazing vocabulary. In our humble French class she often leaps into the breach to rescue some one wrho is floundering hopelessly. Polly i“ also famed for her plentiful supply of jokes, which she cracks on all occasions, and for which we are duly grateful. A little humor is great to help us along our weary wav to college. We’re sorrv to hand Jane anything so hackneyed as a '•sunny disposition, but the virtue is so obvious that wc can hardlv let it go im-uienlioncd. We certainly appreciate anyone of this nature in our class of grouches. Besides this good quality lane has many other things to recommend her. among them Ix-ing her ability as a hockey player, and her talent as a singer. although she's extremely modest about this last mentioned fart.

|l f M E I Q g 7 T A T L. E P. ll 'o Betty is an unusual pirl. She has sustained the class’s interest for the whole year, merely by her frequent changes of jewelry. There arc not many who, like her, can trip lightly through school on very Itigh-hcelcd slippers and still make a very great success of it. Perhaps the easiest way to explain her good fortune is to admit that she employs unusual tactics —whether military or football, we could never decide. Though she is a shining French scholar and has read more French novels and plays than anyone else in the class, you have to fairly die out this fact, for “’Croc is one of those self-effacing people. However, she forgets that she is a retiring nature in a basketball game and bangs around quite roughly. Though she hasn’t been at Northrop as long as some of the rest of us, she’s indispensable to the class, one of her chief merits being her ability to get people out for basketball. {’age Eleven

Chill ha 11 ('harm which is, as usual, hard to define, hut we attribute a pood deal of lirr success to the fact that she always seem to hove plenty of pep. Her clowning has broken up quite a few study period but we’re very Erateful for the fact. No doubt most of our uoks would have lieen pitched disgustedly onto the front lawn by this lime if someone hadn’t been funny occasionally, ('hill has been in the class a long lime and will always be re-tnemliered a one of it most valued members. Shirl goes on the theory that there’s a divinity that shapes our end.-. and let things slide accordingly, Hut in spite of her seeming nonchalance she carries more work thun anyone else in the class and does it a good deal Itetter than most of us. There’s no one who doesn’t envy her the ability to draw good looking people, clothes, and cars, not even the teachers whose classes have long suffered Itecause of her artistic propensities. ‘a; e TUitlf H
