16 The Tatler of 1933 BARBARA SCR1VER Up in the morning’s no’ for me, Up in tlx morning early.’’ Besides being the perfect picture of a haughty aristocrat, she’s one of the few coldblooded heart-breakers in the Senior Room who have never lost their own hearts. In spite of a vapid giggle and talking baby-talk in her off-moments, she is really quite bright; and what a picture on a horse! Our secret ambition is to see her ride side-saddle. She could do it and get away with it. MARY LOUISE SCRIVER I could range the whole world round, For the sake of somebody.’’ One thing we know for certain, her head is usually in the clouds and often her body too (in his little red plane). A creature of habit, she is so perverse that if she is to be removed from her scat in history class, she has to be jimmied out. So set in her ways is she that no amount of arguing will convince her that a six-syllable word isn’t preferable any day to a mere one-lunger.

The Tatler of 1933 15 JANE McMILLIN Her ft!innate out-lust red the pride o' the i print, And, Ob! bow the frolicked—gay on the wing. I am William Turner; Tucker is my name.” Jane’s break in the Lincoln-day play is a classic of the Senior room, but she fully made up for it by her dramatic and awe-inspiring rendition of the role of God of Fate” in the Senior Class Plays. Jane frequently tires of being a Maedchen in Uniform” and asserts her individuality by smuggling an orange dress to school and sneaking it on in the cloakroom when nobody’s looking. EDITH RIZER CHAIRMAN OF ATHLETIC COMMITTEE Oh why the deuce should I repine And be an ill-forehod er?” Edie says she owes her all-round athletic ability to practice gained by slinging Dimp around the Senior Room, but that’s bull-oney. It’s entirely due to eating grapenuts for breakfast and to trying to stuff herself into the waste basket when she hears Miss French storming up with awkward questions. One of the very best things she does is picking-up, wherefore the Hill-Toppers at Hopkins no longer wonder where their pet phonograph record went.

The Tatler of 1933 17 CATHARINE SEYBOLD EDITOR OF PUBLICATIONS Then catch the moments as they fly And use them as ye ought, man!” Because of the horrible practice of giving her the ncrve-rackingcst jobs possible, this poor gal’s now worn to the semblance of a wet wash-rag, and it’s no wonder that she always seems to be hurrying somewhere, muttering Worry, worry, worry” under her breath. If she docs survive those ordeals of Squeezing Money from Scotch Girls and trying to pry baby pictures from the Seniors, it will probably take poor Scyb until 1940 to regain her lost youth. ALICE SPARKS MT« merry, 7m merry, in good greenwood So blythe Lady Alice is singing.” Sparky is a composer. She spends half her time harmonizing tender refrains to Bee-ul” (and the other half peeking out of the window to see if he’s there) which songs we expect will soon be published. But this little lady’s greatest talent is her amazing ability to imitate Stan Laurel in distress, a feat that is simply stupefying when one considers her usual appearance (sec at right) which might easily be said to be attractive.
