Class of. func 1923 HELEN YVILILIAMS 1329 North SiXteenth Street Helen, you have impressed us with your perseverance and determination to succeed. Your unexpected remarks, your sur- prising questions and your hasty statements have sometimes set us smiling, sometimes wondering, and sometimes frowning, yet have always impressed us with your earnestness and self- reliance. Questioning, plodding, doubting, persevering-you have reached your goal at' last with us, your classmates! 1 RUTH E. YVILLIAMS A willing heart, fl helping hand Always ready on demmzdf, ' That's Ruth to a UT. She is always ready to lend assistance in any project the class undertakes. Her cheerful, lively ways have brightened many dull days for us. 4 MARIE YOSE YVILLIAMS . 3593 N Eighteenth Street 4'Lilce little ieamlering trails that stray And tempt me ever till I lcnoie-- YVho would ever suspect a little fluiy kitten of being so learned?

These are as much yours as your head and heart and in neither of these were you stinted, think we I ' A pleasant word and a kindly smile always ready on demand, a happy spirit, a congenial disposition, a pleasing sense of humor with the accompanying twinkle of the eye, warrant good cause for the perpetual group of surrounding friends. Our high esteem and hearty admiration are for you and your constant goodwill. , V 2036 Wlest Ontario Street Rufus 53

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

Is it modesty, indifference, or resignation that gives you your calm placidity, Anna? XVhatever it be, happy are those who own your wholehearted, true friendship.
