DAYESYE Charlotte Stephens— She may be small, but oh. my! She has her share of both artistic and literary ability. Some day when Charlotte is a famous artist, with much pride shall we recall our school days at St. Margaret's. Lois Smith— “Ossa” We consider her good looking and she's as sweet as she can be. If the rest of us try to imitate her. remember we are only human. Often Lois sees herself as Portia, “the young and learned doctor, new come from Padua.” Veronica Smith— “Vee” Doesn’t our “Quaintest Girl” look like an old-fashioned picture? She is so quiet that we look around for her when the absence list is called. We can easily imagine “Vee teaching folk-songs to her “chart” class. Lucille Vonder Weyer— “Lu” “Lu” is the president of the French Club. She’s pleasant and most reliable.” These arc necessary qualifications for a successful kindergarten teacher. Well we know that no one could do this work better than our Lucile. Marie Weed— She is clever, witty and the “smartest girl” in our class. Never do we recall the day when Marie had any difficulty in securing the “Ace” mark. We have in our mind’s eye. a picture of Marie as a leading American novelist. Elizabeth White— “Debby” Individuality and “pep.” What a combination! We’re all envious of her Irish wit. In after years our “Debby” will have an office with gold letters on the door. “Dr Debby’ White. Physician and Surgeon of Rejuvenation.”

Foreword I have tried with the limited material at hand to present an unbiased picture of the Career of the Class of 1923. 1 have prepared this paper with the utmost carefulness, writ- ing all the facts with an unprejudiced mind. 1 hope that the results are what they should be. namely, not giving you much more knowledge than you had before. Helen M. Natwick. '23 Introduction I SUPPOSE that the most important thing about the Class of 1923 in the first year is that they were not legally in existence until after the first of the next year when the class was duly organized. And I also suppose that I might do a little explaining about this article, that is. tell what its purpose is. if any. and also what it is meant to be, or else there might be some misunderstanding. Well. I might as well let the secret out now—this is a term paper, you know, one of those things that you lie awake nights about, but yet has to be done, or you don't get your credit. I have explicit directions right here how to write one. but they give everything one doesn’t want to know. Anyway, to make a long story short, the directions say to read a general account of your chosen subject, preferably in some encyclopedia, or something. Then it advises the writer to be sure to make her notes legible. Then it says. Get your material together and proceed to make an outline ' After that. why. the paper just naturally writes itself. I have followed directions carefully : I have my material together, and. as the above foreword states, it is limited. It consists mainly of three outlines kindly contributed by the above named Class after weeks of hard work, and a few themes written on class affairs. I also might say. that the principal material is Charlotte Stephen’s diary, procured after many weeks of pleading (not that she didn’t trust me, not at all.) So I am ready to begin my work. 121]
