TAPS 12 Our Gallery FRANCES M-ARY BALNIS—“There is great ability in knowing how to conceal one’s ability.’’ Ladies and gentlemen, to the side you see a picture of Frances Mary Balnis, a worthy Senior of '23. She is a most in- dustrious scholar, and a model of behav- ior for all wild Frosh.es. We can’t decide in which subject she excels. Frances, it’s hard to know what to say. Since we can’t find a lot of faults to enumerate, as we very easily can for some, we just want you to know that you have our best wishes for success. ELIZABETH BENiNETT CAMPBELL —“A lady kind and mild.” Betty (she doesn’t like that, but she detests “Lizzie,” therefore we take the lesser of two evils), Essie, we should say, is one of our most sophisticated and polish- ed animals— except once in a while. She has labored hard and faithfully to capture and retain the fugitive knowledge that lurks here. Go thou and do likewise reader, and be wise. She it was who christened our school paper when both she and it were new in High School, leaving it as a remembrance of her. Bon Voyage in life, Mademoiselle! NANCY ETHEL CAMPBELL— “I cannot check my girlish blush, My 'color comes and goes.” Another of the notorious Campbell Kids. “Petunia” is some actress; if you don’t believe it, ask her and see for yourself; and as for being a mimic, no simian could surpass her. She is some speaker too; who has not heard her from the Senior Room to the lowest regions? We recom- mend you to try a dose of Nance for a sour disposition. Favorable results guar- anteed. She works as hard as she flirts, which is saying quite a lot, you must ad- mit. Three cheers for Petunia!

TAPS 13 ADELAIDE EOiSTEiR GORWITH— “Silenice is of the gods, Only the monkeys chatter.” Who knows not Skipper and Patricia Puddlejumiper? What fire is th|ere, O Catiline, what game, at which she has not been present? How many times has she not sworn at thee, or confounded the race and doings of the magna numina of the Aeneid? How mjany questions has she not asked in Spanish class? In what mischief have not her fiery locks been seen? But let us speak no evil of the great'. She was our President when we were Juniors and she worked hard for us. Now she is ou Vice-President. She is warranted good natured, human, full of fun, and full of pep, so Viva! Viva Adelaide! RUTH LOUISE CULVER—“Hail to thee, blithe spirit!” What do we see herewith? All together now! One, two, three! A pretty picture! Whose is it? Ruth Culver’s! How do we know? We’ve seen her before! Yes, so have we, truth to tell. She is one of the famous three, the Culver kids, as we all knowi She decided, a very short time ago, to graduate in 1923, so we hustled her off to have her picture taken so that you might enjoy it. Wasn’t that kind of us? Good luck, Ruth. CLARENCE CARLTON DEIM, of Wa- ter Mill— “M uch study is a weariness o fthe flesh: Let the world slide.” Friends, Romans, countrymen! Behold the vacant space where his picture should have been! Sad, sad, is it to see the blank that should have been so fair. Never- theless, let us commend him for his kind- ness, for he says that he did not have it taken so we might not have to endure the humiliation of comparing his classical fea- tures with our deformed ones. He is a silver-tongued orator, a wondrous debator (by the way, doesn’t he exercise his talents in the Senior Room, while teasing “Sophy”?) and ;an ardent (aah-dent, should I say?) student of Latin. He is badly bitten by the, at present, ubiquitous radio bug. Amlong his other accomplish- ments Rocky is a runner, and not as bad at basket ball as he might be. Sir, may you lose some few faults, and gain many honors, so fulfilling yourself.
