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.

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.

26 THE GARNET AND WHITE HARLAN SHARPLESS General “And gladly would he learn and gladly teach.”—Chaucer Glee Club IV; Science Club III, IV. Harlan, sometimes identified as “Harpie,” is one of our radio and science sharks. He is usually found in company with other scientific hoys in our school. He “spits” electricity and talks in formulae. Sharpless will surely make a great engineer someday. You have all good wishes for success at college from ’23. ELBERSON SMITH Commercial “I am so merry that I do beguile all one’s hours. —Dante Baseball III, IV; Hi-Y Club IV. Everybody knows “Babe,” our “Home Hun King.” “Babe” is one of our most cheerful boys, and he has a big broad smile that is very contagious. If you are coming- down the hall feeling pretty blue and glum, and you see “Babe’s” smile, it cheers you up right away. We sin- cerely hope that he will keep right on smiling and cheer- ing others as he has cheered us. He is undecided about next year, but we all wish him the best success in what- ever work he takes up. PRISCILLA SMITH General “There’s nothing half so sweet in life as Love’s young dream.” —Moore Garnet and White Staff IV; Captain Girls’ Baseball Team IV; Glee Club IV. “Pris” has been with us only this last year, but her pep and energy have landed her “right on top.” Every- one knows “Pris, and we’ll all miss her next year; for she’s as jolly and as nice as she can be. She doesn’t know exactly what she will do next year, but we feel sure it will be something interesting, and we wish her the best of success. ERNEST M. STELLWAGON General “Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” —Chesterfield Boys’ Glee Club I. “Stelly” is one of our quiet, steady workers who al- ways tend to their own affairs and are square with every- one. His earnestness will surely make him a pros- perous and successful business man. Ernest expects to take up a course in Temple University. He has best wishes for good luck from ’23.
