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.

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 GEORGE LEROY BROOKS General “Faint heart ne'er won fair lady.”—Carlyle Baseball I, II, III, IV, Capt. IV; Basketball III, IV, Capt. IV; Football IV; Sergeant-at-arms I; President of Class III; Sunset Division Captain IV; Executive Committee of General Association III; Glee Club III; Treasurer of Science Club III. “Chisel, or “Chis,” as lie is commonly known’, though his revered teachers call him “LeRoy,” is one of the most prominent boys at High School. He has taken an active part in all school affairs ever since he was the greenest of green Presides. Perhaps ’tis his ready smile that has won his way into the hearts of so many of the fairer sex; but no matter what the reason, “Chisel” cer- tainly is a “ladies’ man.” His popularity, however, is not confined to either sex, and we are sure he will make a name for himself at the Philadelphia College of Phar- macy, which he expects to attend next year. MABEL BROSIUS Commercial “Your eyes have told me many secrets.”—Bacon Monitor IV; Glee Club. Marne” is one of those quiet girls who don’t say much, but—well, you know “Marne.” She’s got lots of pep and energy, and, although she won’t tell us what she will do next year, we are sure that, whatever it is, it will be both interesting and successful. Here’s luck to you, “Marne,” and best wishes for success! ETHEL BROWN Normal “Oh, keep me innocent, make others great.”—Queen of Denmark F.thel is one of the youngest and brightest members of ’23. And don’t we all just love her? She is just a happy-go-lucky country girl with a very fascinating way about her. Ethel’s bright ey'es and lovable disposition have won her many true friends during her High School year. We won’t forget you, “Brownie.” Ethel expects to attend N ormal. NOTMAN CATANACH “He is full of the very joy of living.”—Shakespeare Class Treasurer II; Member of Improvement Committee IV; Monitor IV. “Nuts” Catanach has been with '23 from start to finish. “Nuts” is quick and active and has done all in his power to help the class along. He has not been a shining star in athletics, but we are sure he would have been had he only attained greater stature. We wish you success in college, “Nuts,” and hope you’ll think of us sometimes.
