8 THE GARNET AND WHITE BEATRICE COX Commercial “A quiet smile, a kindly word and we are well content”—Holmes “Bee?” Oh, yes! That very tall, sedate girl with the brown eyes. “Bee” is undecided about next year, but we are sure that if she decides to take a position her dignity and air of responsibility, together with her abil- ity, will win her success. AMELIA CRAWFORD General With loving words she soothed her friend”—Nelson Amelia is a gentle little miss with a very big sense of humor, and her merry, and often unexpected, laughter has brightened many a dull class. Amelia is the kind of person who always has “something nice” to tell one when one feels blue, and we’ll all miss her cheery little self when we are “far away’’ from each other. Here’s luck to you, Amelia, at Normal, and may you ever go on being a ray of sunshine. EDITH P. DARLINGTON General Smiles will drive all cares away. —Long Basketball IV; Monitor IV; Art Club IV. Edith, better known to her friends as “Seeds,” must belong to some club or society whose motto is “Smile and be Happy,” for she is always ready to do some mischief or play a trick on some one. Aside from being a good all-around pal, she is a good student. We wish her the best of luck in her course at State Normal. THORA DAVIS Normal The wiles which do beguile my heart are thine.”—Anon. Tliora is the kind of girl whose presence makes school a place worth attending. She likes everybody; consequently, everybody likes her. Long after our school days are over, we will remember her impish eyes and her irresistible giggle which brightened many a dull class. She insists that she will go to Normal and teach three years, but we doubt if such attractive “wiles as she possesses will permit this! Tliora, may you have all the success and happiness that you deserve!

GEORGE D. CONN Commercial “And good luck go with you.”—Shakespeare “Reds” is one of the quiet members of our class. He hails from Glen Loch, a large metropolis in the direction of Malvern. “Reds” is always a favorite with the girls and at all times has quite a bevy around him. George is undecided about his future, but we wish him luck. GEORGE W. CONWAY Scientific The man that loves and laughs must sure do well.”—Pope Assistant Manager Football III; Manager Football IV. George is one of our most popular Senior bojrs. He became so used to making dates for the football team that lie hasn’t stopped yet; only he makes them for himself now. George is a regular “ladies’ man,” but, in spite of that fact, he went out for sports all four years. George expects to go West this summer, but he is undecided as to his plans for the fall. ANNA B. COPE Classical “With roses in her cheeks, their sweetness in her smile.” —Shakespeare Assistant Treasurer II, IV; Monitor IV. “Copie's” rosy cheeks are quite renowned about High School, and one never can resist her lovely smile. We feel sure “Copie” will meet with success at Temple next year, where she will go and carry with her our love and best wishes.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 9 CATHARINE DAWSON Commercial Gold, gold, gold, gold, Bright and red, hard and cold.”—Hood Glee Club III, IV; Monitor IV. Billy?” You don’t mean to say you don't know “Billy!” Well, see that red bobbed itairr That’s “Billy.” You can always tell her by her fiery bobbed hair and contagious smile. They sav, you know, that people with red hair have tempers to match, but we’ve never seen any evidence of such an undesirable trait as that in Billy,’ and we have yet to meet the person who has. But be- cause her temper is calm doesn’t sav that she is. Vim, vigor and vitality, that’s Billy!” ROBERT H. DECKER Scientific “With roguish look and merry laugh.”—Tyler Orchestra III and IV; Monitor IV; Cheer Leader IV. Since Bob” entered High School, he has made a host of friends. We might add that he, too, is quite a “ladies’ man.” We all like him, and we wish him the best of success. He intends to enter either Penn State or Tuft’s College. EDYTHE DONAHUE Classical “I am a part of all I have.”—Bulwer Lytton Health Crusade III; French Club IV. Kdythe has quite a number of nicknames, but the one by which Bl knows her is “Dizzy.” She has been with the class for only the last two years, but she is a friend and a great favorite of all. She is always happy and having fun with the rest of her classmates. We shall all miss her next year. She expects to go to Philadelphia Business College. LOUIS WILLIAM DUTT Commercial “Zealous, yet modest.”—Beattie “Duttv” is one of those unobtrusive fellows who are always ready to smile and joke, no ma’.ter how busy they are. Dull times and “Duttv” are not very good friends and are never found together. He expects to take an office position after graduation. We know he will “make good,” and we wish him success.
