Leland has made many a dark moment disappear with his smile and has cheered us upon all occasions. He had the school spirit and the ' pep” that have helped to make the class of 24 a good one. You may see by his activities that he took an interest in most of the school affairs and had a good following. We can be glad to have such a friend as Leland.

Alice, otherwise known as “A. E. F.. is our shark mathe- matician. The problems that puzzle the rest of us readily reveal their secrets to her. We all know her policy that, Speech is silver, but Silence is gold.’ She has proved to us that the deepest thoughts lie hidden.

Hennie” is one of our quiet girls that believes in making every minute count. That's not saying she doesn’t have a good time. We all know better than that!

Tom. and we hope to see you at Yale the following year. Mary Olive Gilliland Commercial ‘'Thy modesty's a candle to thy merit.” Typewriting Certificate and Medal. IV. ■■Midget’s one of our little bits of Seniors who tackled a great big course—successfully. True, she hasn’t been in the limelight a great deal (perhaps she’s not been in trouble as often as the rest of us) but we’ve always felt her there—a part of the background, and what perfect picture is there without a back- ground.'' Midget's’’ blue eyes and yellow curls have earned her the inevitable name of “Kitten —but then everyone loves a kitten. We hope “Midget’’ will be blessed with lots and lots of success and happiness.

Greggy” came to '24 in the Sophomore year, and has been an active part of the class ever since. He is the kind of fellow who works conscientiously and steadily, and we are all familiar with his quiet way of going about things and getting them done. We know that he will be a success both in his coming years at Drcxel and in the life ahead of him. Leroy Burnham Hartshorne General “Not bold nor shy. nor short nor tall. But a nice mingling of them all. Radio Club, IV; Science Club. IV. Although the 'Judge” is taking the general course, his desires run more along the electrical line. It is said if you want to know anything electrical, ask ‘ Judge.” He intends to further his desire of studying at some electrical school in Philadelphia. Leonore Baker Harvey Household Arts “Conscientiousness is but one of her many virtues. Leonore is the leading member of her course. She has done some commendable work and has won quite a number of prizes, especially for her cakes. She will surely be an attractive, efficient little household manager and we wish her luck. Charles Eccleston Hayward. Jr. Classical He hath a mint of phrases in his brain, and when his ace is trumped they are forthcoming. President of Class. I: Assistant Editor of .GARNET AND WHITE.

IV: Winner Oratorical Contest on Constitution. IV; Freshman Advisor. IV; Vice President Dramatic Club. IV; Glee Club. IV. Charlie” has turned into the orator of the class all of a sudden, and like all the ”Westtownites.” he has proved to be of real value to the school. No one would have thought that Charlie” was going to be a “six-footer”, if he had seen him in his Freshman year. But he did—and he's worth his weight in gold as a friend and fellow student. The part of Harlequin in the Wonder Hat” fits Charlie” perfectly. We wonder how he will “end up” and with what Columbine? Charlie” is going to Yale next year if he has to walk! We know he’ll get there and stick like a true bull dog.”
