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.

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.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 27 J. MILLARD SUPPLEE General “So steady, quiet, yet so valuable to all.”—Lowell Millard is a very tranquil, unassuming boy, but this makes us like him all tile more. We only wish that there were more like him among the under-graduates. We notice that he has a decided preference for a certain mem- ber of the fair sex. Beware, Millard, they say women are fickle. He is undecided as to what to do next year. GERTRUDE NAOMI TAYLOR Classical “Swift as an arrow from the Tartar’s bow.”—Shakespeare Monitor IV. During the four years of “Gertie’s” High School career we have associated her with a yellow brake-cart and a fat brown borse, and usually the brake-cart is full of happy people. “Gertie” is liked by all who know her because—well, just because she’s “Gertie.” Here’s luck to you, “Gertie,” and may all success be yours at George School! LEROY THOMAS Commercial With a smile as bright as gold he went his way.”—Bacon Hi-Y Club IV; Medal for Typewriting IV; Monitor IV. “Tony” is one of the important members of the Commercial Department. He is so very talkative at all times and to both sexes that we sometimes wonder how he manages to get so much work accomplished; but wonders never will cease! Perhaps he is practicing for his future business career! Whatever it may be, “Tony,” you have our best wishes for your success. ARTHUR THOMPSON Thoughtful, yet of ready wit and readier laugh.”—Hood D. Webster Meredith Price Speaking Contest IV. Arthur Thompson, known to the school as “Ash,” has always been one of ’23’s “old reliables.” Everyone likes “Ash,” because lie lias at all times a cheery word and a ready smile. Here’s to you, “Ash,” you are the kind of boy we like. He hasn’t decided about next year, but we wish him success in whatever he undertakes.
