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.

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.

Ella Meredith Business Sometimes from her eyes I did receive fair speechless messages'' Tyepwriting Certificate 111: Medal IV; Auditing Committee IV: Basketball III: Health Crusade I. Once a quiet little miss (?) named Ella Meredith wandered into our school and wrapped herself around the hearts of many. Ella succeeded in “catching” one of our former students, and we wonder if that is the reason she is forever writing “B’s” all over her papers. Ella expects to go on to school, and no doubt she will cap- ture more hearts. Success attend you! Margery E. McGowan General Music Club III: Spanish Club III.
