22 THE GARNET AND WHITE Helen May Note Commercial “Where the river is deepest, it makes the least noise.” Typewriting Certificate, Bronze Medal. Helen is one of those silent, unassuming girls who speak only when they have something worth while to say. Too bad more of us don’t possess this gift. Helen is one of the few people who have no enemies. She is undecided about her future. Helen Hurlburt Palmer General “The readiness of doing doth express No other hut the doer's willingness.” Dramatic Club. IV: Senior Advisor. IV: First Prize Senior Essay Contest, IV. “Palmer” did not join us until our • Sophomore year, but she has always been “Johnnie-on-the-spot” in helping everyone and her cheerful disposition has lightened a dull moment for many of us. She surely has a good voice. Do you remember her screams in “The Burglar?” “Palmer” thinks she will go to the University of Pennsylvania next year. Gertrude Kervey Paxson Classical “A smiling look, she has a figure slight. With cheerful air. and step both quick and light.” Glee Club. II, III. IV: Dramatic Club, IV: French Club, III, IV: Chess Club, III. “Gertie is so petite that she wouldn’t make a very com- manding figure in general association circles—not that she hasn’t the brains though! She’s a wonderful dancer and one of our best-loved Seniors. Her voice rings out with the rest of the kindergarten on the Senior steps, and she’s willing to play jacks or ball, or slide down the steps with everybody—even though she does fall down and hit her nose. We ll never forget the time when great big “Sherry” Smith was her little Bobby in the Sophomore pageant. The rest of the school will be happy to know that she’s going to take a post graduate course. John Hoffman Priest General “It may be said he never passed a bonnet Without a look beneath or comment on it.” Who is that good-looking boy over there in the corner with all those girls? That’s John, our famous ladies’ man. But that isn’t all John is. John is a favorite everywhere, known by all. and liked by all of us. We'll never forget John. “Priesty” is undecided about his future.
