School of Horticulture Nancy Stump Webster Aberdeen, Md. “Rare is the combination of beauty and modesty.” “First or not at all” is Nancy's motto for breakfast and that is why we cither don’t see her until chapel time or meet her coming back as we dash over to breakfast after the second bell. Nancy has been generous both with her car and of her own time and has saved many a student or faculty member a trip by taxi. Formerly Student. Mary A. Burnham School, Northampton. Mass. After graduation— Anne Beasley Wertsner Germantown, Philadelphia, Penna. “Bolddipped. rich tinted, mutable as the sea. The brown eyes radiant with vivacity. Anne can crowd more activtics into twelve hours than an ordinary mortal could accomplish in twenty-four, and yet she always comes up smiling, talking. Although Anne already has quite a number of offers for positions the class in woody ornamentals is hoping she will choose the nursery business, knowing that she already has a line collection of cuttings. Haverford seems to see lots of outstanding points in Anne but it is Pocono which holds her spellbound. Formerly—Student, Germantown High School. After graduation—Alpine rock gardening, Haughton Estate. Paoli, Penna. Fifteen

School of Horticulture The Class Will THE Seniors being about to depart this life and enter another, possibly more fruitful but scarcely more pleasurable, have surveyed their possessions and decided to give away altruistically those which they esteem to be of most value to the be' nighted instructors and Juniors remaining to carry on the work of the school now that the mainstay and support, as it were, of that institution is to be so fatefully and inevitably removed. To proceed—it was set down as follows: Miss Florence Bertermann to Miss Elizabeth Lansing did give and bequeath, since it was evident that the latter young lady would never choose any line of horticultural endeavor as her life work, her potentialities in the circus business. Miss Jessie Craven to Miss Susan Arrington gives her wonderful control when working with animals and machinery (dictionary of obscure swear words furnished with this). Miss Anne Jelinek gives and bestows upon Miss Hollis Brautigam what gray matter she has beyond that required to pass her various examinations and emerge from the school. Miss Anne Wertsner gives to Miss Henderson her appreciation of a rquare meal with the hope that she may some time be able to indulge it. Miss Peretti gives to Miss Pollock her capacity for animated conversation. Miss Chadwick gives to Miss Elsa Borst her butterfly characteristics. Miss Hawkins, having decided not to enter the sphere of the seers herself, doth give to Miss Smith her faculty for causing mysterious appearances and disappearances urging her to take advantage of the gift on Sunday mornings. Miss Nancy Webster leaves to Mr. Kaiser her bent toward biological inquiry. Miss Mowry leaves to anyone who can bear the weight of it, her passion for Mr. Test. Miss Brill gives to Miss Wenz her capacity for foundatioivshaking laughter. Miss Hubbard gives to Miss Woolston her pleasure in watching the snails whiz by. The whole class doth give and bestow upon Miss Anna Nagy three dollars and fifty cents ($3.50) with which to buy a monogrammed fountain pen. Then the entire class passed resolutions leaving to the faculty sympathy tor hav' ing parted with the most noble, upright, and progressive class they will ever see at Ambler and to the Juniors a fine, outstanding example of what they may aspire to with their so far worthless lives.
