24 THE GARNET AND WHITE SARAH DARLINGTON PRATT Classical “Her deeds are writ in golden script.”—Anon. Basketball III, IV; Baseball IV; Captain Rainbow Division IV; Honor Point Letter III; Garnet and White Staff III, IV. “Sats,” or “Spratty” or “Sally,” as she is variously called by her many friends, has never astounded us by any dazzling deeds, but she is one of the strongest ver- tebrae of the “Twenty-three’s” backbone. She lias served on almost every committee and lias done well; she is a member of every club and a strong and active backer of every improvement movement in the school. Lucky indeed will Swarthmore be, when Sarah car- ries her energy and support there next year, and her niche in W. C. H. S. will be verj' hard to fill. CHARLES RAY “Fame and fortune—here you rest.”—Homer Football II, III, IV; Baseball III, IV. “Charley has been the backbone and the star of our football team for three years. He has won us the day, time and again, and long and loud have we cheered, “Ray! Ray! Ray!” Charles hopes to go to Brown University next year to study medicine—and play foot ball. We can well imagine “Charley” saving his patients through determination and grit as he saved his school, and we are sure he will be a great success. ESTHER REAGAN General “A fellow feeling makes one wondrous kind.”—Garrick Glee Club, III, IV; Art Club IV. Esther is one of those lucky people who have talent in the artistic line. She has done good work in this line in High School and given her loyal backing to the Art Club—and Esther’s backing means a lot, for she has a great store of enthusiasm which she is able to pour out on whatever secures her interest. We envy the place where she will take up her activities next; for we know that she will be a credit to it. Good wishes for success, Esther! SARA A. RODEBACK General ‘ A horse is men’s best friend.”—Lyon Health Crusader III. Small she is, to be sure, but she fills a very big place in the hearts of her friends. Ever see a snappy little pony with a snappy little driver about town. Well, that’s the Rodeback “outfit,” and we wish we might always see her small person about school. However, we wish her luck in whatever she undertakes next year, and we beg her to remember us all.

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. Since lie has been in High School, he has made a wide circle of friends through his genial nature. He always has a smile for every one. “Pratty is doubtful about his future, but we wish him luck. 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.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 25 YEARLD F. RODENHAVER General “The sex is ever to a soldier kind.”—Homer Relief Leader IV. If “Bud” were as good in Iiis lessons as lie is at danc- ing, he would have topped the class. And girls? Well, we won’t give “Bud” away. He is undecided about his future career, but we wish him success in whatever he undertakes. WILLIAM RUSHWORTH General “Little said is soonest mended.”—Whittier Track I, II. “Bill” hails from Malvern town, the famous city on the Main Line. He is a quiet fellow and doesn’t say very much in school, but outside—lie’s a good sport through and through. Although he’s been with 11s only two years, he has made a place in our midst for himself, and it will long remain vacant when he has gone away to college “somewhere.” FLORENCE RUTH General “A nature such as thine will sure succeed.”—Lane Monitor in Girls’ Locker Room IV. Is “Flops” good natured? We’ll say she is! Why, you know she is, just to look at her. We know that some where there is much valuable work for her to do just in cheering and helping people. She will take a position. HILDA DE MUTH SCHUCKER Commercial “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”—Old Proverb Certificate in Typewriting IV; Medal in Typewriting IV. “Hibby” is as quiet as a mouse until—until you get her started, and then, oh my! She is a good student and the best kind of friend to have. Every one who knows her likes her. Hilda will take a position.
