The Tatler of 1953 25 Inglis, Miss Brewer, and Miss Sadlcy. . . . Charlotte is our absent-minded Sophomore who recites Latin verbs at dances and tries her line on Miss Brewer. . . . Just ask Mary I.ou and Lizzie about that schoolgirl complexion and giggle. And if you’d like to de- clop a classy accent just listen to Spiffy for a while and you can't help yourself. Also for information (any kind and every kind) go to the fifth desk in the fourth row of the Study-hall. . . . We hear that Chandy has taken quite a tumble; she says it’s only off her bicycle, but we know better. And speaking of falling!—for the Iowa Pete, Smith, look where you landed!—Now that Larry Moo is driving, it’s Fill up with Philip” for her. ... It seems that all the Sophomores arc going hungry now that the six hundred eighty-fourth amendment to the school constitution has been enforced and Gicky can’t bring cookies to school at noon. . . . Leila, we see, is just getting around to doing last Friday’s Math, and also the council chosen for the disablement of Humphrey hasn’t quite gotten around to murdering her yet although they arc reminded of it repeatedly as she is becoming (Humphrey herself would like us to stop here) more and more unbearable. You see, even though she is a terrible youngster she’s an even worse punster. But even Humphrey takes a beating when it comes to playing bridge against Betty Williams. . . . We all stand somewhat in awe of Dorsey, our AAAAA pupil, because of her twelve cylinder brain and also her gift for putting people in their places. However, any time you want to win back your self-respect just try a little tennis with her. . . . Through much practice Janet is able to control her blushes, but every once in a while her guilty conscience comes to the surface, especially about the other night— but then we don’t know. Nobody ever tells us anything. ... If you find that your boyfriends are not such hot dancers or a little backward in other things just send them to Mary Lou (that is if you can trust them to come back) for a full instructive course in the customs and habits of the ideal modern youth. ... You don’t have to look in the comic strip for Mutt and Jeff, just go to the Study-hall and if you’re lucky you’ll sec our version of them. Penny and Sallie. . . . Our Jean Harlow’s theme song is You’ve got me crying again,” and Toots, our I.ilyan Tashman, has established a reputation for not wearing the same dress more than once. ... If you’ve felt yourself being scrutinized by a rather fascinating, magnetic pair of eyes, we want you to know that they do not belong to Myrna Loy but to Jinny. Now all this we heard, we only heard, it wasn’t told to us, we only heard. . . . QUESTIONS THAT SHOULDN’T BE ANSWERED 1. Who is the girl with the swell alibis when it comes to breaking dates? 2. Who are the two girls who have gone Washburn on us? Also the girls who spend all their holidays at West? 3. Who arc the girls who go walking at six o’clock in the morning?

Virginia came to us a stranger But remains to us a friend. 27 The Tatler of 1933 Always joking, always teasing, Mary Jane’s wit is never ceasing. Edna’s plump and carries a cushion. So when in a crowd, there’ll be no pushin’. Chloc Doerr is never sad. But when in a temper, it’s just too bad. Mary Lou’s light auburn hair. Covers the brains that are hidden there. Hoppy is witty and she’s wise. But she’s a terror for her size. The Greek mythologies Janet doth scan, And figures things as best she can. She's lively and peppy, a slender young lass, Jean Carlcton, the tennis star of our class. Mary Anna’s art in giggle Is much enhanced by graceful wiggle. Though Betty Baker’s a very small lass, She can out-talk anyone in the class. She’s rather pretty and of brains there’s no lack, Of course I am speaking of Betty feedback. Two lines are not enough to cover Kaddy Dain. Mary Sue Zclle, now please keep quiet. You’ve too large a stomach for so small a diet. She bounces balls and gives us rides, this charming Martha Pat, And every day she comes to school she wears a swell new hat. So debonair with flaxen hair, What would we do without Ruth Clare? Smooth red ships with full svhitc sails Arc Peggy Davis’ Anger nails. It is Katharine Rand who’s ne’er on time. And never once a step will climb. What is the matter with Creamer Jane? We’ve promised her clothes and a ride in a plane. And lovely class dues to pay again. Janey Lou Harvey, the authoress of our class. Is an extremely intelligent lass. Betty Ann Eggleston is a dear. She giggles to all a word of cheer. She gives us rides, our Silverthome, In a shiny green car with honking horn. I. S. is as nice as she can be, But she loves to croon like Bing Crosbec! Mary Leslie’s a maiden, meek and mild; She supplies us with gum and is seldom wild.
