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!

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 17 SARAH ELIZABETH KERR General “A merry heart goes all the day.”—Shakespeare Assistant Treasurer I; Garnet and White Staff III; Vice President III. “Betty” is the glad girl” of our class. “Betty” never worries about anything or anybody, and she is al- ways laughing. She has laughed her way into all our hearts, and we shall miss her cheerful comradeship when we are all going our separate paths next year. We shall all remember “Betty” and her smile though, and we feel sure that she will make many new friends at Temple University next year. JANET KIFT General “A tower to the skies; she'll pluck the sunshine there.”—Anon. “Lankie” is one of the “little flower girls” of the Senior Class. She is very fond of sports and always seems interested in the games between Norristown and our High School. She will be remembered by her class- mates as a “Lady of Style” in the plays in which she has taken part. She is undecided as to what she will do after leaving school, but we are sure she will make a success of whatever she undertakes. KATHERINE KNOX General “I must have liberty Withal, as large a charter as the wind, To blow on whom I please.”—Shakespeare Glee Club I. Ill; Garnet and White Staff III; Editor Notes and Comments IV; Honorable Mention Senior Essay IV. Everybody knows “K.” She is one of those irresis- tible people that you just have to like. One would never guess, to hear her laugh and see her flit—no other word quite describes it—from one place to the next and usually back again, that beneath the surface a genius lies. Yes, “K” is quite the poet of the class, and she is remark- ably clever and original. Her brain lias been adequately developed and constantly kept in training, not in keep- ing her out of trouble, but getting her out after she once gets in. Characteristic of “K,” she has not decided what she will do next year, but never mind, we love her just the same, and we wish her all kinds of luck no matter where she lands. F. EVELYN LAPP Classical “------ and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all she knew.” Assistant Treasurer I, III; Honorable Mention Junior Essay III; Glee Club III, IV. Evelyn is one of our “peppy” Malvernites and is surely a good sport. Evelyn with her high marks, num- erous love affairs and cheery smile, always accompanied by “Copie.” has been a familiar and much-loved figure in our class, and we pass her on to Mount Holyoke with good wishes and—regrets at losing her.
