10 THE GARNET AND WHITE ELIZABETH W. ELDRIDGE Secretarial “A daughter of Elysium.”—Beethoven Basketball Varsity Team III, IV; Athletic Captain of “Sun- set” Division IV; Tennis Club IV; Secretary Improvement Com- mittee IV. But a pal for all that, you'd be glad to have.” Sometimes she’s sad, sometimes glad, “Betty” is a real sport in every sense of tlie word. She is well known and beloved by all her classmates, and she has made many friends during her four busy years of High School. She is one of the most active members of the Senior Class. You will never be disappointed if you expect a bright smile or a cheery word, for these are two things of which “Betty” seems to have a wonderful sup- ply. So, “Betty,” we all wish you all kinds of good luck, and we hope that success will attend you in all your en- terprises. NORMAN ENTRIKEN Classical In truth, a lad by fortune favored.”—Shakespeare “Shorty,” as his nickname implies, is not very tall, but that makes no difference, for lie is a good sport and is liked by everyone. Wherever you meet him, he always has a smile which is quite contagious. He is undecided as to what lie is going to do, but we are sure that his buoyancy will help him through life, and he has the best wishes of the Class of ’23. HELEN ESBIN General “The thoughts of sums and such were good to her.”—Dunbar Helen is one of those silent, unassuming girls who speak only when they have something worth while to say. Too bad more of us don’t possess this unusual gift -the world might be a li tie different if there were more of us like Helen. Helen has one line in which she posi- tively excels—that is arithmetic. She has the habit of coming smilingly to class with questions perfectly solved which seemed to us ordinary people nothing less than hopeless. Helen will attend the Normal School next year, and we hope she will specialize in that branch in which she is so proficient. MARIE FACCIOLLI Commercial Quand mime.”—Bernhardt Marie is another one of our quiet girls. But when she once starts to talk, doesn’t she just make us all sit up and listen, especially in reading shorthand notes! Marie, with her black hair and flashing eyes, has gotien along very well in school and—she just loves Office Prac- tice ! ! Marie is undecided as to her plans for next year, but we wish her all success in whatever she may take up.

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.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 11 SARAH E. W. FACKLER Classical “No question is too large for her to solve.”—Shaw Science Club III; Garnet and White Staff IV; French Club IV. “Sally” is one of tlie most popular girls in our class. Everyone likes her, and for this reason throughout her High School course she has been chosen by her class- mates for many offices which cannot be listed here. “Sally” is always cheerful and has that rare ability to see both sides of every question. She has not yet decided what school she will attend next year. JAMES F. GARDINER Scientific “Let music fall upon mine ear and all my senses soothe.” —Shakespeare Science Club III; Glee Club IV; Tennis Manager IV; Foot- ball III. “Jimmy,” one of our best musicians, is known for bis happy smile which is extended to everyone. His bass voice will be sorely missed in the Glee Club next year. If anyone wishes to hear something really good, he should have “Jimmy” give him a few good numbers on his guitar. James is undecided as to his future, but we are sure he will make an enthusiastic, successful student in some college. FRANKLIN GILL General “But genius must be born and never can be taught. —Dryden Chess Club III, IV; Glee Club IV. “Frank,” our good baritone singer, has many friends. “Frank's” brain makes up for any lack of study. We are sure he will make a genius of some kind, because of what seems to be an unseen intelligence that ever ac- counts for itself well. We cannot help but wonder what a wizard he would be if he were ever serious with his lessons. Franklin will continue his intellectual efforts by at- tending the West Chester State Normal School next year. Good luck, “Frank!” DOROTHY GILLINGHAM General “Raven hair and soulfull eyes inspired with peace.”—Longfellow Disarmament Essay Prize III; Debate Team IV; Literary Editor Garnet and White IV. “Dot” did not enter our class until the Sophomore year; but, since then, she has certainly been making up for lost time. She is vety calm, but very efficient. Be- sides her other achievements in the scholastic line, she is one of the nightingales in the Girls’ Glee Club. She in- tends to further cultivate her voice at the New York Conservatory of Music, but she does not intend to neglect her practical education; for she will also attend business school in the near future.
