Philadelphia Normal School Rosie TRACTENBURG 3221 rionument Avenue We have often wondered whether there was anything we should have learned in class that Rose didn't know. lVith the teacher s question as a stimulus, Rose flows on foreverg dates, names, obscure points, fine details,-she knew and rattled off with ease. Wliere would Rose be if she lost her memory? GERTRUDE MAY VVALTER 533 Stanwood Street Keenly observant, ready of Wit, gentle, yet capable. Our noise must smother her, and yet there she is ready to help when we're inneed. VVe feel rather than see or hear her depth and strength as she flows quietly on, slipping into each of our lives. ADELAIDE M. YVALTERS 5523 Girard Avenue GCA.d7! Heard melodies are sweet, but those uazlzeard , Are sweeterg therefore ye soft pipes, play on- She says little, but does muchg and only the very observant detect her achievements, for her little raptures and exuber- ances are quietly confined to her immediate little sphere. , Ensne MILDRED YVHITE 1923 ia. oumbei-lewd street ivhaeyv 'TSun-crowned with life and strengtlzif' Whitey carries the crispness of October, the fresh breath of .april everywhere she goes. It's dihicult to tell which is the bigger, he1' heart or that healthy appetite. No doubt things will hum when she's in the game of life as they did in gym. 52

Ea1'nest, deliberative, serious, sometimes grave, usually reserved, we should have said of her as Juniors, ' but as Seniors we shall add an et cete1'a of occasional promises 1 of merriment and laughter which we have detected mo1'e and A more as we have grown to know her better. 1 ELIZABETH MARJORIE STRAIN 1206 Collonan Street ' Betty Like the whisper of wind in quiet places, Oi' the scent of roses' in gardens old. WVe like Betty as is and hope she'll be 'as lovely to the rest of the World as she has- been to us. 4 ' 1 AMELIA C. SXVENCICKA 3592 Richmond Street e Meal 'Tor never anything can be aniiss When sinipleness and ditty tender it. It is with high hopes for you'in your profession that We observe your earnestness, steadfastness, co-operation and inter- est in your undertakings.
