22 THE GARNET AND WHITE JAMES NIDER Commercial To be strong is to be happy.”—Longfellow Baseball Team I, II, III, IV; Basketball Team II, III, IV; Monitor of Boys’ Cloak Room IV; Football Squad I, II, “Oliver is our “chewing gum kid.” Without a stick of gum, “Oliver would be as useless as Steve Brodie without a chance to take. “Oliver” lias been a member of the baseball team as well as of the basket ball tea.u for four years. Surely W. C. H. S. owes “Oliver” thanks; for more than one victory has been won for her through his efforts. James is undecided about his future. ELIZABETH TAYLOR OAT General I was not born for courts or great affairs I pay my debts, believe, and say 017 prayers.”—Pope Assistant Treasurer I; Secretary Class II; Glee Club III, IV. “Libby” is one of our “general favorites.” Everyone knows her. Ever see her speeding down the street in a Reo; most everyone has! “Libby’s” a good sport and plays baseball with lots of pep. She expects to attend ilson College next fall, and we wish her all kinds of success there. FRANCES O’NEIL Commercial Capacity for joy she has.”—Browning Glee Club IV. Frances is one of the strongest props in the Com- mercial Department. She is ever on hand when she is wanted. Nothing makes her cross, and her wit will ever bring her success in the future. Good luck, Frances, in your future undertakings! We are sure you will be successful. EMALINE PASSMORE General Slowly but surely into our hearts she crept.”—Lamb Glee Club IV; Basketball IV; Captain of Yankee Division IV; Winner of $100 Prize in B. end O. Railroad Company’s Poultry Club Contest. Speaking of fun, if one wishes to have a good time, just get acquainted w!th F,maline. She is always ready to laugh, which proves that she is nearly always happy. Kmaline intends going to State College, and we know that with her determination she will surely succeed. We wish her the greatest success possible.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 21 MARION MEREDITH General A serious lass wherein lies deep a sense of humor rare.”—Strong During Marion’s years at High School she has made many friends and enjoyed the fun created in High School. We hope she will like college, and wc wish her the best of success as a future teacher. She expects to attend Drexel Institute next year. HELEN MELLOR General “Silence is a virtue here.”—Tyler Science Club IV; Basketball IV. Helen is one of '23’s quiet girls; at least one would think so to see her in her classes; but when out of class sbe is the most lively person one would wish to meet. She intends to go to State College and to study Agriculture there. After she finishes College, she is going to stay at home and “run” the farm. Helen, we know you will revolutionize things so that women will soon be the best farmers obtainable. JAMES PAUL MOSTELLER Commercial “His path—, may it be ever smooth and straight.”—Shakespeare Monitor IV; Member of Sanitary Squad IV; Baseball III; Football Squad IV. “Jim” used to be full of pep, but he seems to have used up some of his ambition and to have lost lots of sleep on account of that rattling, little old Ford of his. We are glad that he belongs to us, however, and we shall miss his ever-ready smile. He will enter Drexel in the fall. MARIE V. A. MUSANTE General And still be doing, never done.”—Butler Marie is noted for her good nature, which has won many friends for her during her High School course. She possesses a rare, contagious laugh which very often bursts forth unexpectedly, so I’ve heard it said. Marie is uncertain about her work next year, but whatever she attempts she will accomplish. Good luck, Marie.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 23 ESTELLA M. PASSMORE Normal ‘What is beautiful is good, and what is good will soon be beauti- ful.”—Sappho Secretary of Class III; President of Art Club IV; Glee Club I, III, IV; Joseph S. Evans Prize Speaking Contest IV. Estella is a most earnest and yet a most happy girl. Her studious habits show in her marks, for she always has excellent ones. Her chief talent lies in drawing, as most of us know who have seen the posters she has made. Estella intends going to Normal school. We wonder how long she will teach? We wish her success in what- ever walk of life she takes up. LEROY PRATT Commercial “Smile and the world smiles with you.”—Jessie Wilcox Monitor IV; Typewriting Certificate IV; Typewriting Medal IV. “Pratty” is another one of our faithful Pocopson stu- dents.

MARIAN BALDWIN PRATT Classical “Whatever anyone does or says, I must be good.” —Amelius Antonius First Prize Disarmament Essay III; Assistant Class Treas- urer II; Spelling Team IV; Captain Second Debate Team IV; Honor Speaker for Commencement IV. Although Marian has been with us for only three years, she has become a most valued member of the class. In Latin and French she is indeed a shark, and she helped beat Coatesville in both spelling matches. Mar- ian is not lacking in pep either for she has entered into everv kind of school activity, and we wish her a great deal of luck at George School next year. MERRIL PRATT Commercial “Knowledge is power.”—Bacon Certificate in Typewriting IV; Baseball Squad IV. “Yes, “Prattie” is a member of the famous clan who hail from Pocopson. “Prattie” has always been a bright light in the Commercial Department with his little win- ning smile. He expects to take a position as a steno- grapher. We wish him a Ford full of luck with more success added each time she stalls.
