THE GARNET AND WHITE 15 Ira Hicks General “Why is this thus? What is the reason of this thusness? Science Club. II, III: Radio Club. IV: Track. IV. “Hicksy” and his Ford are prominent folks up at High School. When ever you see a suburban model Ford coming down the street you know it is “Hicksy. You’d be surprised to count the number of boys in that car some days after track practice. It doesn't seem to have any limit to its capacity. “Hicksy’’ is undecided about his future, but we know that wherever he is. his generosity and thoughtfulness will win him friends. Morris Wesley Holman General “Silence is virtue. “Shorty is another one of our boys who have not been with us all the way through. He is a hard worker and we feel sure that he will make a good machinist when he has finished his education. Catherine Eleanor Hoffman Commercial But genius must he born and never can he taught. Joseph S. Evans Speaking Contest. IV. “Hoffie is another studious commercial student who hails from Malvern. She has made many friends during her High school career, and we feel that she will ever be a shining light of the Malvern delegation. She is undecided as to what she will do next year, but we wish her the success in anything she may attempt. Richard Raeder Huey Scientific A quiet chap who does his work, hut does not talk about it. Monitor. IV: Science Club. II: I rack. I . “Dick believes that silence is golden, and puts his beliefs into practice. He says little but accomplishes much.

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.

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.

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.”
