Centenary Pageant Ig Science Cluh IIQ Ring Committee HI. I-Iere is one girl whom you can depend upon not to let you down. Reha's amiable disposition is one of the first things we noticed about her-and also her red-brown hair. It is hard to im- agzine that anyone could be so consistently charming and poised as Reba. 'llhere is never a time when she is rufllcd and excited. and she is never known to speak in a loud voice. Rcba's character is strong and line, which makes her stand out from the rest of us.

Cert-rude is the name of the craziest, noisiest, eleverest member of our class. These adjectives and many more would, perhaps. describe her. but no matter which you tried you could never quite pick the right one. For there is something about the way Gert-rude does things that makes her a little bit different from most people. lVhen she isn't busy planning class luncheons and being our treasurer, she spends her time running between the pottery studio and the library. lVhat she does in the places, we do not know, but you may be sure that she's one ol the busiest on campus.

Conscientiousncss is another of NIildred's line qualities, although she isn't so busy that she would not gladly serve on a committee, or ellicieutly fill an olliee.

When others are worried blue in the face over a diflicult assignment, Betty laughs.

It is no wonder that Bettyls grand disposition, coupled with her most. surprising conscientiousness, makes her one of the most delightful members of our class. Sixty-two
