THE GARNET AND WHITE n MILDRED HIBBERD Normal “A heart with room for all.”—Temple Glee Club IV. Mildred hails from Malvern, and we don’t envy her those cold winter mornings; but, in spite of all inconven- iences, she is very jolly as well as attractive, and one can always have a lot of fun with her. Mildred expects to attend the West Chester State Normal School. We surely wish her great success in teaching. JESSIE HOFFMAN General A cheery word with which to start the day.”—Hayes Glee Club III, IV; French Club IV. Jessie is another peaceful lassie, but one who is known throughout the school. She has a ready stock of smiles, of which she is not saving, and her cheery words of greeting have met many an “early bird,” for Jessie has always been a first arrival at school in the morning. We wish her all success next year in whatever she under- takes at Swarthmore. ELIZABETH C. HOOPES General “A smile that glowed Celestial, rosy red, love’s proper hue.”—Milton Basketball I; Garnet and White Staff III; Glee Club III. “Dib” Hoopcs—one of the best loved fjirls in school! Wherever one sees a bevy of underclassmen, and “Peg” Williamson in particular, one can be sure that “Dib” is the center of attraction. Everyone loves “I)ib,” even the Faculty; she is so petite and has such a merry laugh we just can’t help it. “Dib” expects to attend Miss Illman’s Kindergarten Training School next year, and we wish her all the success she deserves. JOHN HOOPES General Bid me discourse; I will enchant thine ear.”—Shakespeare Class President I; Chess Team III, IV; Assembly Program Committee IV. During bis four years’ sojourn with us, John has always been able to uphold his own beliefs, and we look back with awe and admiration to his speeches in our class meetings. We hope that he will bring success to himself and fame to the High School as either a lawyer or a lecturer.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 13 MARY HARRAR Classical There's rosemary; that's for remembrance.”—Shakespeare Joseph S. Evans Prize Speaking Contest III; Valedictorian of the Class. Mary is one of the brainiest people in the class. Ever see tier report? Well! it’s rather amazing the number of A’s and B’s it displays. Mary is pretty and quiet, but very efficient in all she undertakes, and we feel sure she will meet with success next year “out in the cold, cold world” at Normal School. Good luck to our Valedic- torian ! HELEN HEATLEY General The bashful virgin’s sidelong looks of love.”—Goldsm'th Basketball II; Glee Club III; Hockey IV. “Sis” believes in getting the most out of life in all its phases, and we must admit that she likes to dance almost as well as she likes to study. She expects to attend Pierce’s Business College next fall. li e rather expect, however, that after the completion of this course she will obtain a position with some fine business man, perhaps one that will last a lifetime. WILLIAM HEYBURN Scientific “Men sheathed their swords for lack of argument.” French Club III; Monitor IV. “Bill Heyburn has as sunny a disposition as can he found anywhere; in fact, when he hits W est ( liester in his sedan, Old Sol hasn’t got a ghost of a chance. He is quietly industrious and sparklingly sociable. Further- more. lie is a good pal with a ready sympathy and under- standing that have often been used to minister eonsola- tion to his friends. May he never have cause to regret his kindness. So here’s hoping he obtains “A happy life, a pretty wife, and half a ton of money.’ ELIZABETH HIBBERD Commercial “A violet by a mossy bank Half hidden from the eye.”—Wordsworth Health Crusader IV. Gentle and demure is little “Betty.” She has been too busy studying to attract much attention in High School. But won’t she he a great credit to our elass be- eause she has learned to “paddle her own canoe.” She is very much interested in all her lessons, and she has been successful in mastering them. Betty will take a posi- tion.

tiie garnet and white 15 WILLIAM HOOPES “With the soul of a poet a happy man he’ll be.”—Anon. Science Club IV; French Club IV; Monitor IV. “Bill” Iloopes lias not been particularly prominent, but lie lias quietly given his bit toward making up the backbone of the class, and what would ’23 or any class be without backbone? Nothing! So we must not for- get “Bill” who is part of the backbone, and we are sure we shall never forget some of the tilings he has written Here’s success to you, “Bill!” KAY HUMPHREY Classical “Words are sweet as honey from his lips distilled.”—Homer Assistant Editor of Garnet and White III; Editor-in-Chief of Garnet and White IV; Member of Debate Team III; Captain of Debate Team IV; First Prize Junior Essay III; First Prize Senior Essay IV; Honor Point Letter III; Winner of D. Webster Meredith Prize Speaking Contest IV; Winner of Oratorical Con- test held at Swarthmore College IV; Third Prize “American Boy Magazine” Contest; Honor Speaker at Commencement IV. Everybody knows Kay, and “I.iz .ie,” the old Ford. Kay certainly will be missed next year in the debate team, for he is one of the best West Chester has ever had. Another tiling Kay is blessed with is a sense of humor; one never saw him angry except maybe at his brother. Kay expects to go to Swarthmore or Princeton next year, and we shall expect to bear soon of new laurels he has won in debating, writing or speaking. W. EARL HUTTON Commercial “A steady pace—and you have won. —Holmes “Squirrel” is one of those steady workers of our class whose presence is little noted but whose absence would have been sorely felt. He is always smiling and cheer- full and a help to all. He expects to take a position after graduation. We wish him all the success he deserves. MARIAN INGRAM Normal “A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest men.”—Anon. Monitor IV; Glee Club IV; French Club IV; Honorable Mention Senior Essay IV; Joseph S. Evans Prize Speaking Con- test for Girls III, IV. Marian is one of our sweet Senior girls of whom we may be very proud. She is remarkably studious and haG made an excellent record. She is conscientious and always dependable, and we are sure she will make a fine teacher when she grduates from W. C. S. N. Success to you, Marian!
