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!

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 l(i MARJORIE PAQUITA IVANS General Content thyself to be obscurely good.”—Addison Cheer Leader III, IV; Monitor IV; Glee Club III, IV. “Marge” is our impromptu cheer leader for all times. She is one of the peppiest people in our class, and every- one knows and likes her. “Marge’s” greatest problem has been in trying to keep out of Tin-: Garnet and White pages, but we always had her there somewhere. “Marge is going somewhere to college; and the college that “draws her will get a bundle of pep and energy— the kind that encourages “clean sport and helps to win victories. V. C. II. S. will miss you, Marjorie! JOHN JOHN Scientific ‘‘A man of business and of full efficiency.”—Shakespeare Class President II; Executive Committee II; Class Treasurer III; Assistant Business Manager Garnet and White III; Business Manager Garnet and White IV; Track Manager IV; Monitor IV; Honor Speaker at Commencement IV. John did not burst upon us like a bolt of lightning, hut hv steady industry, determination and a natural aptitude for leadership he has won an enduring place in our hearts and, as his record indicates, in our affairs. That our days will be lonelier without him no one can doubt, but, sorry as we shall he to part from him and his gaiety, we are unanimous in wishing him success at “State.” WILLIAM JONES “A lad of fortune and of grace.”—Shakespeare Baseball Manager IV. “Bill” is an active and efficient baseball manager; however, we hope he .never mixes his baseball dates as we happen to know he has mixed “some” others. “Bill’’ and his big red Stephens are familiar figures about the High School and at all our games; for he takes an active interest in spirts, both indoor and out. “Bill’ expects to go to the L'. of P. next year and attend Wharton School. We wish him success. LONDON BERNARD JONES Normal “Success go with you in your work.”—Pcige Track I, II, III, IV; Football IV. London, the well known track star, was also a mem- ber of tile football team of 1922, and he “did his bit to help defeat Berwyn, our great rival for “Gridiron Hon- ors.” As well as being a winner of medals and cups, he has represented the High School in many other athletic events. London desires to take a two years’ course at the W. C. S. N. and later a course at Penn State. Suc- cess to you, London!
