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.

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.

18 The Tatler of 1933 HELEN JANE SWEET And her two eyes like stars in skies Would keep a sinking ship frae wreck. Ranking with the most famous coiners in history, Helly is the mother of, approximately, more than a hundred words (beside some that Blimp made up, for which she takes credit); such indispensable portions of Senior Room Vocabulary, for instance, as loot (boyfriend) and hibc-projcctor (candy). Some say that is why she’s so absent-minded, but we’ve got the goods on her. Always having a pocketful of Letters from Yale is never a helpful influence. MATILDA TREZEVANT The blythest bird upon the bush Has ne'er a lighter heart than slje.” Tilly, our walking, talking book of etiquette is a true and illustrious disciple of Emily Post, (with exceptions). To be a guest in her house is to enjoy the lavish hospitality of the old South. Her fondness is for monkeys, alleys, blood hounds, and men named Herman. Her Waterloo, her crowning sorrow, her pit of deep, dark despair is Math! And if you remember the acid stains in the chemistry room and the loud explosions, you'll remember her great experiment in the field of science.
