THE GARNET AND WHITE 23 David Tobias Ray Scientific “And the last shall be the best. Football. II. Ill, IV; Track. II. III. IV; Freshman Advisor. IV. “Toby’’ is some boy! He has shouldered our burden, both on the gridiron and on the cinder path for the last three years. Being Charlie's brother, he has had a lot to live up to. but he has done well. Next year he hopes to add another Ray of starlight to the Bates College backfield. Good luck. Dave! Alicf; Maud Rfed Commercial May fortune take your hand and lead you on. Assistant Treasurer. Ill; Glee Club. I. II: Typewriting Certificate. Nearly everyone, especially the Commercials, knows who “Allie” is. She is one of those girls that treat everyone alike. She has been a great asset to our department. During her four years here she has made many friends. Alice expects to accept a position as stenographer. Eleanor Agnes Reilly Classical Thy blue eyes Steal o’er the soul like sunshine o'er the skies. Assistant Class Treasurer. II; Senior Advisor. IV; Literary Editor of THE GARNET AND WHITE, IV: Locker Monitor. IV; Second Prize Budget Essay : French Club, III, IV; Dramatic Club, IV: Glee Club. IV. Eleanor's one of our literary lights. Remember how she brought fame to us Freshman year by having a story in THE GARNET AND White? Her stories always delight us: just ask the Fifth Period English class. Eleanor is a rare combina- tion of brains and good looks, and we know she will win further literary success next year at Swarthmore. Ida Virginia Reeves General Just being happy is a fine thing to do: Looking on the bright side rather than the blue. If you feel blue, just go to “Ginny” and she will cheer you up. Not many of us ever saw her in an unpleasant humor. She is undecided about her future, but we wish her health, wealth, and happiness in whatever she undertakes.

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.

Mary Livezey Roberts General “I must have liberty Withal, as large a charter as the wind. To blow on whom I please.“ Dramatics. IV; Radio Club. IV. Mary did not enter our class until this year, and now we cannot imagine how we ever managed to do without her for the first three years. All of you who know her merely as the beauti- ful golden Columbine in the Wonder Hat” are lucky, but still more lucky arc they who know the real Mary, and Rosie,” and The Navy. Mary expects to study at Columbia Uniyersity dur- ing the summer and to resume her classes at Barnard College in the Fall. Frank Ogden Rogers Industrial Scientific “It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves.” Frist prize. West Chester Community Budget Essay. Unk” is our expert mechanic. He's one who knows a great deal but says little. Everyone was surprised when he won the Budget” essay. Unk attributes his intelligence to the fact that he doesn’t bother with the girls—Good judgment. Old Boy. Frank expects to take a position in some shop. H. Edward Roller Scientific “Oh. who can tell, save he. whose heart hath tried?” Eddie has been with us since he was a green little freshman. He always has a cheerful greeting for everybody. He has been pretty busy lately carrying all the Hunsberger’s books to school, but he keeps up in his studies.
