THE OAK LEAF, 1922 Senior Cl ass Annie Margaret Gravatt “Tongue so will}). Laugh so gap. Heart pure gold, Thai ' s ‘Crab,’ I sap. Athenian Literary Society; Jolly Set; French Club. “Grab is a wonder. While the rest of us are taxing our brains with such things as geometry and physics, Grab is providing the entertainment, yet she comes up smiling at the end of the month. If she hasn ' t wit and individuality, then there is no such thing. Her only worry at the present is that she won t be old enough to teach next year, but she won’t allow this to dishearten her for long. If you think so, then you don’t know “Grab.

Radiantly happy, carefree and joyous, yet sincere and tenderly sympathetic, are some of the attributes that have won her a steadfast place in the hearts of all seniordom. Page tmen p

J P Senior Class Vesta Gertrude Foster Her face malfes sunshine in the shad} places Athenian Literary Society. Dignity mingled with sweetness and a touch of reserve describes “Gertie.” She is efficient, having left a good scholastic record behind her; steady and dependable, one of those friends of whom you are sure.

He has been known to sit quietly through one of the stormiest class meetings, calm and peaceful as a summer sea. Further distinguished as a jeweler of no mean degree, the originator of many senior pranks, fondness for flashy socks, and the W hiz Bang. Frances Elizabeth Fitzpatrick “ Frances is a quiet artist — not the temperamental l(ind , And a more agreeable person you ll never find. Athenian Literary Society; Senior Program; Art Editor Oak Leaf of ’22; Secretary Class, ’22; Jolly Set. Frances — attractive to the boys by her charming simplicity; delightful to the girls by her good nature and sweet disposition; beloved by the faculty for her studious habits. The drawings and cartoons which have been so great an influence in making this book a success are due largely to her skill and energy as an artist. Page nineteen
