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.

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.

The Tatler of 1933 19 JANE FEE WALKER The eye that can unmoved he xtlJ The uilJest rage, the Ion Jest storm. One of the things one remembers about Jane Walker is her ability to answer questions that no one else hears (particularly in English class). Aside from this astounding accomplishment. she is one of the non-sports-going league. However, these are not her only attributes. During her lighter moments she may be seen wielding a tennis racket or driving a black sedan with an enviable amount of skill. LOUISE WALKER CHAIRMAN O! ARTISTIC INTERESTS COMMITTEE While men Ijeve eyes, or ears, or taste, She'll always find a lover Louise should be a member of the Canadian Mounted. She always gets her man. But that's not the only thing she's good at. She can describe realistically the most gory details of a new book and always swears so solemnly that every fact is true that she has us listening with Happing ears till Esty says, How do you know? But that’s another story. (Sec page 12).
