A smile and a Good morning, girls. and you would know that Billy” Lear has just pasesed down the hall. Prom the moment Billy entered High School his “pep has carried him into many of the school activities, and he became one of the most popular boys of our Class. And as a fitting climax to his career Billy went back to his childhood days and wore his rompers to school on Baby Day. Billy'’ will go to the School of Industrial Arts next fall to take up stage designing. We wish him as much success as he had in his dramatics at old W. C. H. S.

Walter established himself as one of our best students, and consequent- ly his appointment as class salutatorian was expected by all of us. Aside from distinction in scholarship he has. in his last year, exhibited talent in writing poetry and we have the right to expect big things of him in this line. As yet Walter is undecided as to his future, but wherever he may go he will be assured that he takes with him the good will of ’25.

Marshallton may be a small country town. but. at least, it sends a smile to West Chester every monring in the form of Anna Lilley. From September to June, no matter what happens, the smile remains fixed on Anna’s face, till some of us wonder what a frown would look like. Toby” intends to carry her smile to the Normal next year to brighten np those gloomy halls.

IV. “Jack. so-called by some special friends, is one of the quiet but ever present members of our Class. She is also one of the few golden-haired girls in our Class. Everybody likes her and always welcomes her when she’s around. She treats everybody in the same way: perhaps that's another reason why we like her so very much. . “Jack intends to go to Normal next year, and we wish her the best of luck. Leonora Gladys Jamison Classical “And her voice, it murmurs lowly. As a silver stream may run. Health Crusade I; Glee Club III; History IV: Senior Adviser IV. Gladys has an advantage over most of us crude babbling mortals, because she has gained the art of keeping off her longue meaningless slang and useless prattle. Success to you. Gladys.

She’s taken part in all sorts of athletics and other activities and she certainly shines. We love our “Johnny, and we re glad she’s been able to be with us in H.

18 THE GARNET AND WHITE Anna L. Kearney General “Action is eloquence Health Crusade; Commercial Club: Perfect Attendance Cer- tificate. Anna is one of the well-wishers of the Class of '25. and she has helped to support it faithfully. Anna likes to tease peo- ple. and. when she starts to tickle you. well, just look out! Anna will attend Pierce’s Business School next year. Cecile Kelly Classical Health Crusade II: Class Secretary II: Assistant Class Trea- surer III, IV: Spelling Championship IV: Dramatic Club IV. “She is pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with And pleasant .too. to think on.” Cecile is our little ' cook ': at least, that is the role she had in our school play: and she filled the bill in a charming manner. She is also a champion speller. We feel sure that if she goes to Wilson next year (as she is now planning to do) she will make a success of her work there. I. Lewis Kirk General “The secret of success is constancy of purpose” Basketball Squad I: Soccer I. II. Ill: Captain Soccer IV; Track I, II. Ill; Captain Track IV; Senior Adviser IV. Track and soccer have been “Kirky’s” pet sports, and his excellence in each is shown by the fact that he captained both track and soccer teams. He is also a steady worker at his lessons, so we think that he will be successful in both sports and scholarship at Penn State. Ruth Mason Business “No friend is a friend until she proves a friend.'' Glee Club I, II. Ill; Typewriting Certificate III: Medal IV; Commercial Club. “Rufus” is one of our sweet, gray-eyed maidens, who has proved a friend: she always has a kind word to speak for every one. Don’t forget the many funny days in English class, Ruth! She is going to take a position.
