JUNE THE O ICI H I 1921 SYLVESTER L. SUTTON. This long-connected blonde with the blue eyes and the ready grin and greeting was always a foolproof sunshine dispenser. No matter how dark the day or how rainy the weather, Sylvester was always on deck with lots of optimism an I friendliness. MARGARET SUSAN SWISHER. Margaret is a brunette, self-possessed, quiet, and charming. Ever since we can remember, she has Peon able to write better, talk more pleasingly, and act more at ease than we. She has steadily improved, and during her last year of school, she has done some splendid things. She has written a lot of good stuff, some of which has appeared in the OiC:IIi from time to time, and some of it in Miss Love’s classes. At the Senior picnic, she proved herself a jolly good sport, and she was as vivacious and peppy as anyone there. THOMAS TRAX. “Cupid’s” brother, Tommy, is the older of the two Trax boys of our school. Yes, he is—we asked him once. lie is not quite so colossal in his propor-t:ons, and he never played football, but he is “there” all the same. We once saw Tommy loading a barrel of cider on a truck. If either of us could do that, we wouldn’t ho afraid to ask Mr. Bacon how he liked the weather or even how he felt about the high cost of living. FLORENCE TRUDCEON One cf our very nicest girls. Quiet but not shy. Ready for fun just as much as any of us, but she never lets fun interfere w'th her studies. An ideal girl. Page Thirty-One

JUNE TH E O I C I HI 1921 WILLIAM B. SMITH, JR. X When they start male beauty choruses as the proper thing, ‘ Bill” will be found “there,” decidedly there. His wavy, well brushed hair is his crowning glory. Add to that a modest blush and a contagious, infectious smile, and you can hearken up a fair idea of what kind of an impression “Bill” makes upon people. MARY SNYDER. One of the jolliest girls in the crowd. Always game to do anything. She’ll try anything once. GEORGE THOMAS SPETTIGUE, JR. Treasurer, Athletic Assn., 1919. n Editor, OiCiHi, year 1919, 1920. Mgr. Football, 1920. Asst. Mgr. Basketball, 1920, ’21. “Nothing But the Truth,” 1920. George has done more for the school during his four years than any fellow we know. He has not confined himself to any one line of work, but has succeeded in all. His efforts were largely responsible for the launching and success of the Athletic Association in its first year, and the OiCiHi, went through its first year under his guidance. He was manager of this year’s football team, and he was assistant manager of the basketball team. In the school play, “Nothing But the Truth,” he was really good. He is versatile, brainy, clever and a natural leader. He has chosen a future profession in which he will be sure to succeed. Engineering Administration, and we entertain great hopes for him. FLORENCE ELIZABETH SPRINGER. Betty is quiet, but “still water runs deep.” She has been so quiet about it that everyone doesn’t know that “he” goes to Penn State. We’re sorry, but since there were sixty-four girls to thirty-six men in the class, we’ll forgive her. Page Thirty

JUNE THE O I C I H I 1921 FERN TURK. Fern was always interested in her school work and also play. The girls tell us she was a great humorist and helped dispel the gloom on blue days. We have no fears for Fern’s future, for a humorist can always take care of herself. ROBERT S. ULMAN. X “Bob” Ulman can ask more questions per cubic minute than any other fellow we ever saw or heard of. Some of thc-m are sensible. He is going to college in the autumn, and we wonder how hi« broad-ides of questions will strike the ‘ profs.” We rather fancy that they will strike them upon the ear. EDITH CATHERINE WATTEKSON. No, we don’t think that E lith is Ruth’s twin, in fact we know that she is older. Having thus betrayed her, we feel that she deserves a good writeup. So we shall try it. Miss Love cannot for the life of her tell them apart, and Ruth is Edith and Edith is Ruth, in spite of all their objectirns. They know each other apart, however, and that is all that matters, anyway. MARJORIE RUTH WATTERSON. Ruth was one of the one's who collected one of those highly desirable, though somewhat rare little pets, a “steady.” He is as stable as ever, and we would not think of seeing Ruth sans Eugene. But, we’ll forgive her for that, unpardonable as it is, and admit that we can’t blame him. Page Thirty-Two
