.v run garnet and white 29 HELEN WINANS Secretarial Smiling her way into our hearts, she went.”—Tennyson Certificate in Typewriting III; Medal in Typewriting IV; Bar in Typewriting IV. Helen is a bright light among the C'otnmericals, and doesn’t she like to “kid” Mr. Donnelly and Mr. Fowler? Indeed, yes. Wherever Helen is, there are sure to- he fun and smiles, too. She will become a secretary, and lighten some bleak office with her ever ready sun- beams. RALPH WOODWARD Commercial “Oh may Dame Fortune open wide her doors That you may pass within.”—Longfellow Medal for Typewriting IV. We hope she will, “Pete,” and that you will be ready to meet her well and thoroughly enjoy her when she comes. He has been a rather silent member of the class, but he has proved himself capable and willing at all times. He will take an office position. JOHN ELWOOD YOUNG Scientific “A science of his fife he’s made.”—Butler Member Radio Club II; Member Science Club III; Chairman Decorating Committee IV. “Jack” is a radio “bug,” and on that subject he talks more often and more intelligently than on anything else. He really is a “wonder ” You should sec his “outfit” and hear him expound on its mysteries. As yet he is undecided as to whether to go to college or to take a position as a ship radio operator. We are sure he would be successful in either. Good luck, “Jack!” ANNA ARMSTRONG General Of quiet character, yet strong.”—Shakespeare Anna is of the quiet type of girl and she has enjoyed all her pleasures and her lessons in a tranquil way. N evertheless, she hasn’t been too reserved to make friends, for she has a host of them. Anna expects to con- tinue her studies next year, but as yet is undecided as to where it will be. We wish you success wherever you go, Anna !

28 THE GARNET AND WHITE RUTH TOWNSEND General I have a heart with room for every joy.”—Bailey Class Secretary I; Assistant Class Treasurer II, IV; Captain Indian Division IV. It would fill a page to mention all the eommittees “Rastus” has been on. She is one of those aggressive people that just will have a hand in every thing going; and who could be more competent or more desired than she is. Ruth, the laughing, vivacious “Rastus,” has sobered, somewhat, this past year, and we wonder if it is because the responsibility of being a senior lies heavy on her shoulders? But not the most serious cares of the most, trying )froblems can quiet “Rastus' ” ready laugh and winsome ways, and we hope her future will be as bright as the present is now and that Temple University will be good to our little “Rastus” next year. LEE TAYSON General “A sober lad, but true as steel.”—Hayes Hall Monitor IV; Fire Drill Monitor IV. I.ee's dignity has been one of the greatest assets of the Senior Class, for it has helped to lend an air of stabil- ity to the Class. Lee comes from the country, but he has kept up well in his lessons. We regret that he has not joined more freely in our social activities. He expects to take an office position, and we wish him success. CARMEN MILEY VAN LEER General “A joke—he hid it far below.”—Billet C armen is a quiet fellow who has been with us for only the past two years. Not many of us have really got to the bottom of his nature, but—well, those that have surely have been lucky! He’s deep, he is,” says our president, “and lots of fun.” That really describes Car- men, and we must put lots of emphasis on the last—“lots of fun. Carmen is undecided about his future, but we send him off with our best wishes for “health, wealth, and happiness.” F. HUBER WALTZ Scientific “Consideration like an angel came And whipped the offending Adam out of him.” Glee Club IV; Chess Club IV; French Club IV; Science Club IV. If there is a synonym for honest effort, it is “Tom Mix,” enrolled in West Chester H. S. as F. Huber Waltz from Grove. For four years he has proved him- self a scholar of no mean ability, and this last year we have heard him sing in the Glee Club. Dependability is his watch word in all things. In Honesty and Faithful- ness he is our Rock of Gibraltar, and the best of us could do no better than to emulate his determination. “Waltz- ie’s” natural inclination lies towards Mathematics and French, and it is in these two subjects that he will major in Swarthmore College preparatory to teaching.

:iO THE GARNET AND WHITE MARTHA BATCHELOR Normal “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.’—Longfellow Martha is one of the quiet members of our class, but, although usually silent, she surely has an aptitude for lessons. She is undecided about what she will do next year, but we wish her success and feel sure she will attain it, for she surely has succeeded here in High School. MABEL COLLIER Commercial The gayest hours trip lightly by.”—Shelly Mabel came to us from the Berwyn High School in her Junior year. We think sometimes she is a little homesick because she is so quiet, but those who know her say she always brings smiles by her “happy-go-lucky” way. Mabel expects to take a position. Wc wish her the best of luck. MILDRED C. EDWARDS Commercial “Earnestness and foolishness are mingled here.” —Horner “Dolly,” as she is better known to us, is jolly anti ftdl of fun. but she is also serious-minded and earnest when occasion requires, for she has taken a complete commercial course in the High School and has won a certificate and a medal, in typewriting. She wishes to take a Nurses’ Course at Mercy Hospital, Philadelphia, and we wish her success there. EDITH FLAGG Normal “Blithesome Lss of joy.”—Shakespeare Basketball I, II; Glee Club III, IV; Baseball IV. “Mutt” has been one of ’23’s athletic girls all four years. She has always been interested and active in athletics and gymnastic work, spending most of her vacation in playground work. She is going to attend Normal School next year with the 1923 delegation. BEULAH ELIZABETH GLADMAN Commercial “A cheery smile and merry laugh She offers to her friends.”—Longfellow Glee Club, I, III, IV. “Betty” has taken an active interest in all school activities and especially in Glee Club. She has won a certificate and a medal in typewriting, and she hopes to take a special course in stenography at Temple University. As she is very much interested in kindergarten work and very fond of “tiny tots,” she will make an extensive study of this line of work. Here's wishing you luck, “Betty!” KATHRYN GRAUL Commercial “Sunbeams play about like smiles.”—Shakespeare One who will always be a credit to ’23. what- ever she may do! Kathryn has gone along in her own tranquil way, paying more attention t her lessons than to athletics, parties, etc., hut making many friends just the same. Kathryn expects to take a business position for a while, and wc wish her all kinds of good luck. ADA HEED Normal A peaceful citizen and liked by all.”—Holmes Glee Club IV; Lunch Rocm Cashier IV. Ada is another quiet light in the class; yet in her own way she shines quite brilliantly. Ada was a fine soprano in our “Three Springs,” and the Glee Club will! greatly miss her support next year. Ada expects to attend Normal, where we wisli her joy and success. HERMAN HOOPES Commercial “Hail, to the chief who in triumph advances!” —Scott Captain Rainbow Division IV; Football I, II, III, IV; Captain Football Team III. “Hoopsie” is one of our star athletes, and many a time Assembly Hall has rung with cheers for him. Ever see any one playing football with lots of pep and no headgear? Well, that’s “Hoopsie,” and we feel sure lie’ll go “right on” in life as he did out in the mud and dirt, when he helped beat “our enemies.’ He expects to attend Normal School next year, so we’ll still hear about town of his football achievements there. HELENA V. LEWIS General “She moved us all—and held our feelings taut.” —Pierce Who remembers that great day in chapel tv lien the words “Louder! Louder! LOUDER!” were uttered from the platform? We all do, for it was Helena Lewis who spoke them while dramatically reciting Poe’s “Telltale Heart.” Helena wishes to take a course at W. C. S. N. and later a course in elocution. She surely should succeed in this work, for if there is anyone who has possibilities along the line of elocution, it is Helena. CHARLES LOWERY Commercial “A small niche in the world, well filled.”—Howe “Reds” is a hard worker, both at home and at school, and he deserves success. Although he is always busy, he never fails to have a pleasant word and a smile for his friends, who will always remember him. Charles is undecided as to what he will do next year, but we wish him luck in whatever he undertakes.
