Lorraine Stuart With a steady suing and an open brow” She’s good as Old Gold, so slender and tall; She’ll play on the team till her arches both fall. Proficient in Algebra, History, and Art, She goes home each day in his little blue cart. Gertrude Swanson Head oi Entertainment She conies, the Spirit of the dance” ’'Gertie,” our chairman of entertainment, keeps us perpetually in anticipation with her plans and threats for the next dance, and we’re certain her bargaining with orchestra leaders will help her in later years. Her $1.95 lisle hose and her immaculate kid gloves (non-washable) are two things that vaguely suggest civilization in the senior room. Like most red-heads— “When she is good, she is very, very good, but when she is bad, she is horrid.” ■ Pane Tuehe

Barbara Southall President of Senior Class The young Astyanax, the hope of Troy.” 'Barby,” our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, has striven upward and onward with the worst of us and cheerfully looks even farther ahead to much prominence and glory in Smith— such as Olympic teams and French scholarships. And when you see the black smoke rolling in from Paris, you’ll know she’s burning up the town—successful at that as at sports and everything else. (We have just been informed by the subject of this paragraph that she is not scholarly.) Betsy Strout President of Northrop League Foolish hoy! Why tremblest thou?” Behold our noble league captain, who has guided the bouncing ship. Constitution, through the perilous waters of this school year! Not only does she steer a clear course on the high seas, but also she seems to have a man in every port. Betsy is an exceedingly versatile personage, and her dramatic talents have entertained us often. Whenever you feel the building tremble as if from a shock, you know that it’s only Betsy exerting her magnetic personality. Vive la belle capitainc! Eleven

Betty Thomson Perchance thou italliest with the morning hour.” Irresponsible, good-natured Betty, whose happy-go-luckiness is half her charm, looks like a crowned angel in her picture, but—well she’s the pride and joy of the class when we’re looking for fun. Unbelievably, because of her fairy-like proportions she holds steadily growing aspirations to be the class bully, but, inspite of this tendency to roughness, or maybe because of it, we consider her pretty near what her picture makes her seem. But Betty also has the added attraction of twelve or a hundred seven passenger buses and at least ten chauffeurs, which she cheerfully shares with the rest of the school. Laura Van Nest Puffs, powder, patches, Film Fun, and billets-doux.” Laura, we all think, would have the honor of being the only member of the class in the Glee Club if she didn’t always choose the same two songs to harmonize. By all the mail” and telephone calls from the East we know that she is as popular with the other sex as she is with her classmates at Northrop. Her untiring efforts toward athletic perfection are admired and wondered at by us all—(she has taken gym of her own accord at least twice this year). Page Thirteen
