4 THE GARNET AND WHITE (Class J nll Lewis Armstrong Commercial “On their own merits modest men are dumb. Lewis came to our school only this year. I hough we haven’t had the chance to know him well, he has helped to increase the dignity of our class in that time. He is undecided about his future. Alta J. Baily General “A smile for all, a greeting glad, An amiable, jolly way she had.' Basket Ball III. IV; Indian Division (Basket Ball) Team. IV; Study Hall Attendance Monitor. Ill; Science Club. Ill: Glee Club, II; Dramatic Club, IV. Alta expects to attend Normal next year. She is known among her friends as “Sock.” Her motto is: “Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone.” That laugh of hers startles us sometimes when everything is quiet, but we like it. Edgar Donald Bailey Classical “The secret of success is constancy of purpose.” Monitor, IV; French Club. Ill: Science Club, III: Dramatic Club, IV: Glee Club, IV. The school day wouldn’t be quite perfect without Donald and his witty sayings. He has a mania for pansies and he certainly can cultivate them; the girls know that. He has worked con- scieniously at his lessons and at managing the B4 traffic, too. Donald expects to go to Wharton later. James Williamson Baily General “An honest man is one of the few great works that can be seen for nothing. Track. II. III. IV: Science Club. II. Ill: Radio Club. IV; Soccer. III. IV: Dramatic Club. IV. “Jim” is another one of our sturdy, dependable “farmers.” He doesn't shine in speaking contests, but you can always count on him to perform his duties and to perform them cheerfully and well. He has worked hard on our track team and fought a lot of stiff competition, but he has always been game and Helped to keep up the spirit of the team. We know you’ll succeed at Normal School, Jim.

THE GARNET AND WHITE 3 Jiinmir (Class (Offic i'rs Jesse Roland Smith Scientific ”What's the earth compared with love found, gained, and kept.?” President of Class. IV: Vice President. II; D. W. Meredith Speaking Contest. IV: Freshman Advisor. IV: Monitor. IV: Sports Editor of GARNET AND WHITE, IV: Captain Indian Division. IV: Glee Club. IV: Dramatic Club. IV: Football. II. HI. IV: Track. IV. If you don’t know “Sherry.” you don’t know one of the best fellows in ’24! “Sherry.” “Smitty,” or “Rollie.” as he is variously called, does not confine his activities to any one line, as his list of accomplishments shows, and he does them all equally well. What would we have done without “Smitty” in football, the “fastest” man on the squad? We wish him the best of luck at Penn next year. Dorothy Biddison General “All wool, and a yard wide!” Vice President. IV: Basketball Varsity. IV; Hockey. Var- sity. IV; enior Advisor. IV: Dramatic Club. IV. “Dot” hails from the illustrious city of Frazer. We don’t know what our class did in the Freshman and Sophomore years for she came to us only last year. “Dot” succeeds in whatever she undertakes. Her first year out for basketball she replaced one of the old standbys, and the batter’s knees commence to wobble when “Dot” winds up in baseball. If you want a laugh just hang around “Dot”. In short, she’s just one of the best sports that ’24 can turn out. and we wish her as great success at Con- necticut Froebel Kindergarten Normal as she has enjoyed at W. C. H. S. Anna L. Fairlamb General “A nature such as thine will sure succeed.’’ Assistant Treasurer. Ill: Senior Advisor. IV: Senior Monitor. IV; Secretary of Class. IV. Here’s to “Anne.” our secretary, one of ’24 s general favor- ites. Ever see her riding in a “little Ford? I think most of us have! “Anne” has been with us all four years, and. although inclined to be reserved, she is liked by all. She intends to take up kindergarten work next year, and ’24 wishes their secretary the best of luck. Vincent Donald Farley Scientific “It is a pleasure to jest opportunely.” Honorable Mention Junior Essay Contest. Ill: Honorable Mention Lincoln Essay Contest. Ill: Monitor. IV; President Dramatic Club. IV: Glee Club. IV; Freshman Advisor. IV: Treasurer of Class. IV: Oratorical Contest on Constitution. IV. “Farley.” the Malvernite. is one of the “biggest bugs” in the class: in fact, he measures six feet three or four inches. Like all those hailing from Malvern. “Farley” is vested with a habit of playing jokes on his friends—but do you remember when “Smitty” ripped his coat in the lunch line? “Vince” is a true sport, though, and a fine friend. We’re expecting great things from him next year, when he’s in Cornell.

Don’t think she is fickle—she’s not! “Bake” is the most popular and loyal member of the Class of 1924. and she supports every stand it takes. “Bake’’ does not need to take a “horse shoe” to Goucher with her next year be- cause: “Fame. Love, and Fortune on her footsteps wait. Joseph Fraley Barclay General “Mix a little folly with your serious thoughts. Soccer, III. IV; Foot Ball, III. IV: Track. Ill, IV, D. W. Meredith Prize Speaking contest. III, IV; Vice-President Science Club, IV. “Joe’’ has been in High School only since the middle of his sophomore year, but even so his list of accomplishments is rather large. Joe isn't very tall, but the way he skirted the ends for the foot-ball team made you lose any idea that a short fellow isn’t to be reckoned with. We envy his friends, who will be with him when he takes a Post-graduate course next year! William Albert Bishop Industrial Scientific “Always ready to work and always ready to help. Member Soccer Team. IV. “Bish” is one of our quiet fellows who doesn’t say much that’s unnecessary, but he knows what to say when it is called for. He believes in sticking right at his work and not bothering others, and for this reason he has made many friends and no enemies. “Bish” expects to start work at his carpentry trade next year. We know you'll make a good one, “Bish,'' and we surely wish you luck. Dklmont Kirk Bittle General On their own merits modest men are dumb. Fire Monitor. III. IV: Vice-President Radio Club. IV; Base Ball Team. II. III. IV; Captain Base Ball Team. IV. “Del’’ believes in explaining himself by action, and he certain- ly does show lots of it when he’s on the mound twirling the old pill. “Del’’ is also one of our radio “bugs.” He has made many good friends among us. and we all wish him luck in whatever position he may take next year. Go to it. “Del.’’ We're with you.
