4 tiie garnet and jviiite CLASS ROLL GERTRUDE ADAMS Commercial “Quietness is a near friend to Dignity.”—Byron Health Crusader IV. Gertrude is one of our quiet girls. Whatever she sets out to do, she does and does it right. She is a very dignified Senior, not fond of sports; but she enjoys get- ting down and tackling bookkeeping, which is more than can be said of most of us. Gertrude is undecided as to her plans, but, whatever they may be, we know she will be successful. Best of luck to you, Gertrude. THOMAS FRANKLIN ALEXANDER General “He loves me best who calls me Tom.”—Bacon Monitor IV; Leadership Story Contest Prize IV; Meredith Contest I, III, IV. Tom is one of our rays of sunlight. He is nearly al- ways smiling, and he is one of the few people who have no enemies. He goes along quietly and cheerfully, and then, all of a sudden, we arc surprised to hear that he has done something distinguished. Even the faculty is sur- prised by his sudden visits to Fame’s portals. We hope that these visits will become more and more frequent as the years roll by and that he will live to a ripe and re nowned old age. He has not vet decided what he will do after leaving W. C. H. S. ANN ARMENT Normal “Let gentleness thy strong enforcement be.”—Shakespeare Monitor IV. Ann is one of the Seniors who, though modest and unassuming, has won an enduring place in the hearts of her classmates. Ann just “filled Elizabeth’s place here this year, and we are sorry the Junior Class has no sister to be left them by Ann as she was left to us, for they will miss a treasure indeed. Ann expects to go on with her studies in music next year, and we know that she is bound straight ahead for fame. CHARLES JOHN BACHMAN Scientific “Great oaks from little acorns grow.”—Holmes Decorating Committee IV. “Pee-Wee” is small but “ full-o-pep. He is a great hit with the ladies. Probably his coming from Malvern has something to do with his numerous conquests, both in school and society, of which we have all heard. He expects to come back to the High School next year to take a post-graduate course, and we wish him luck—and happiness.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 3 SENIOR GLASS OFFICERS EUGENE MARTIN Scientific “See, the conquering hero comes.”—Handel Baseball I, II, III, IV; Baseball Manager II; Football II, III, IV; Basketball II, III, IV; Basketball Captain III; Glee Club III, IV; Executive Committee, General Association I, IV; Captain of Indian Division IV; Class President IV; Hall Monitor IV; Honor Point Letter III. After tlie enumeration of his various achievements very little needs to be said about “Hecker” or bis stand- ing in the class. We all like him and feel great confi- dence in his ability as a leader. We are sure lie will soon be prominent in both the athletic and the social activi- ties of the college so fortunate as to have him enrolled as a student. AMY HALDEMAN Classical “Yet do I fear your nature; It is too full of the milk of human kindness.”—Shakespeare Vice President IV; Captain Sunset Division IV; Glee Club III, IV; Monitor IV. Amy is one of our most popular girls, not only with her classmates, but with the whole school. Everybody likes her; she’s just too sweet not to like. She expects to go to college next year, and we’re sure, though she’ll find many new friends, she’ll not forget her old ones. It will be a lucky college that gets our Amy, too! Best of luck, Amy; keep on through life as you have in High School, and you’ll always be on top. MARGARET T. HARPER Commercial “How near to good is what is fair.”—Jonson Vice President II; Secretary IV; Girls’ Glee Club IV; Cer- tificate and Medal in Typewriting. Here’s to “Peggy,” Secretary of our Senior Class, and one of our distinguished Glee Club members. Petite and attractive she is and always happy. She has made many friends because she is always “nice to everyone.” We wish you every success as “Somebody’s Stenog,” “Peggy.” JOHN CHAMBERS Commercial A gallant in love.”—Tennyson Garnet and White Staff I, III, IV; Baseball II, III, IV, Manager II, III; Glee Club IV; Treasurer IV. According to “Bertie” he has been in love unsuccess- fully all four years. There, are some, however, who would disagree with him. Now isn’t that right, girls? Bertie is one of those boys who wants what he wants when be wants it, and be usually gets it. As bis record shows, his whole time is not devoted to falling in and out of love. Oh! no, not Bertie! And all we have to sav is that some people were born lucky. Good luck at U. of P. next year, Bertie, and “don’t get hurt!”

THE GARNET AND WHITE a DOROTHY B. BARNETT Normal Fair and holy—maid of purity.”—Tennyson Locker Room Monitor IV; Health Crusader IV; Science Club. “Dot has been with us during the whole four years of High School life and lias consistently held a quiet but important place in the class. Her gentle, cheery smile is given to all alike, and, though laughing sometimes, per- haps, at the Seniors playing tag in Bl, she is always ready to help others to have fun. We hope that your life at Normal School next year will be as happy as your life at High School has been, “Dot.” AIMEE LUCINDA BATTIN Classical ‘ Her eyes are clear pools of delight.”—Bacon Assistant Treasurer III; Glee Club III, IV. Aimee is one of these quiet girls who suddenly burst forth and create sensations. This is Aimee’s habit when translating Virgil. One always finds Aimee ready for a good time and lots of fun, and the whole school will miss her when she goes next year to Bucknell College, where we wish her success. ADELAIDE BRINTON Commercial “How near to good is what is fair.”—Jonson Adelaide is one of our “cute” little Seniors. She is now the proud possessor of a medal won for speed in typewriting. She is undecided concerning next year. Here’s to your good luck, Adelaide, and may it be a con- tinuation of your business career. MARSHALL BRINTON General “And both were young—and one was beautiful.”—Byrcn “Torehy” has been an ardent eheerer at all our games, and be and his “Lizzie” are quite familiar sights about town. He has lots ol pep and with the other com- mittee members of tile fair sex will give us a first-class Senior Commencement dance. “Torehy is quite un- decided about next year, but, well, we all wish you luck, old fellow.
