THE GARNET AND WHITE 27 Donald Woodward Commercial “He comes and goes, but always he is welcome. Donald is another of those steady and silent commercials who make more noise with their typewriters than they do with their lips. Nevertheless. Donald is always there whether you know it or not. Donald is going to Williamson Trade School next year to see what a silent man can do there. Helen Woodward Secretarial There are smiles that make us happy.” Typewriting Certificate. Ill; Medal. IV. 'Sis'’ has just the most irresistible gigle. If one hears a giggle, all she has to do is to turn around and there she is sure to perceive Helen laughing at some ridiculous shorthand outline. Helen is going to be “somebody's stenog. William Best General Truth and industry doth kindle honor’s fire. “Bill” has been with us for only a year, so we cannot tell much about him except that he is quiet, studious, industrious and loyal to W. C. H. S. “Bill is undecided as to what he will do next year, but we wish him success in whatever he undertakes. Louise Ballou General She doeth little kindnesses Which most leave undone or despise.” Joseph S. Evans Contest. IV: Music Club. Ill; Dramatic Club. III. IV. “Wheezy” is one of that group of students who have made their high school years noteworthy for good scholarship earned by persistent endeavor. She has. in addition, proved herself a good sport and is for this, a favorite among a large group of acquaintances. “Wheezy” intends to enter Normal School next year. Rachel Denny General Of quiet character, yet strong.” Quiet, but steady! A hard worker who has succeeded through perseverance! She is good- natured and generous, being always ready to lend her aid to those who need it. We wish her success in her future career, whatever it may be. Dorothy Ganges General Quiet, modest and unassuming .” Dorothy is a person whose ways are hard to learn. “Could she be called quiet?” is a question no one can immediately answer. Her many trips to Philadelphia make it doubtful. Dorothy is quite talented in the musical field, handling the bow with great skill. Grace Hobbs General 7 he deed I intend is great. But what, as yet. I know not. Glee Club. II. III. IV: Mixed Chorus. IV; His- tory Club. IV: Monitor. IV. When Grace first came, she was a very quiet girl, with very little to say. In our Freshman year. Grace was a stranger to us. but. as the years grew, so did Grace’s popularity. Grace always has a smile and a good word for everyone. She expects to work next year. We know that the person who employs Grace will be well pleased, as she is a good worker.

28 THE GARNET AND WHITE Thelma Ella Hughes General Mixed Chorus. IV: Glee Club. IV. I am thinking just now of the saying. 1 is often the small things that court in life, and am wondering at the same time if that saying isn t as applicable to a person as to a thing. I hclma is a small body, standing only five feet and weighing 95 pounds. Thelma is quite a singer and anyone who hears her once is anxious to hear her again. She expects to study music next year. Frances Jones General A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck. Frances, though seemingly quiet and unassuming, is a very jolly girl when you are well-acquainted with her. Frances is very for.d of mathematics and has proved herself quite a shark in that study. She is undecided as to where she will go next year. Meta Morris General ' It is more blessed to give than to receive. Meta seems to have taken this as her motto. It would be hard to find a more generous person than she. Meta has won many friends by her smiles and her sunny disposition. She is undecided as to where she will go next year, but we wish her much success in whatever she undertakes. Roland Moore General Why is this thus? What is the reason of this thusness?” Executive Committee. Ill; D. Webster Meredith Contest. II. III. V: Debating Team. II. Ill: Cheer Leader. II. III. V: Tennis Team III. IV: Glee Club. IV. V: Science Club. IV: Dramatic Club. IV. V: Captain Yankee Division. V. “Goofie” was one of the best possible gifts ’24 could have willed us. and from the start we took him to our hearts. He is our official cheer leader, and he surely can bring out the noise. ‘Goof has more school spirit than half a dozen regulars put together, and he has entered into activities with vim. William Munshower General “Of a cheerful look, a pleasing eye. And a most noble carriage.” Did you ever see someone coming down the hall with his head almost touching the ceiling? That was ,Bill.” He looks down on the other mem- bers of this class and seems to say. It's nice and cool up here.” Bili” expects to attend Drexel Institute next year. Let’s hope his grades arc as high as he is. Oliver Parry General “It is the silent ones who get things done. Soccer II. III. IV: Baseball. IV. Oliver has not been in our class the whole four years that we have been here, but we have come to know him in the time that he has been with us. as a boy who conveys most of his ideas with a nod of his head or a ready smile. Oliver is undecided where to go next year, but we re sure that his smile will make him popular wherever he goes. Dorothy Roye General “A charm to banish grief away. To snatch the frown from care. From tears to smiles make dullness gay. Spread gladness everywhere.” Dramatic Club. III. IV: Pianist. IV: Orchestra. IV: Glee Club. IV; Mixed Chorus. IV: Joseph S. Evans Prize Speaking Contest. IV: Winner of Second Prize. The High School owes “Dot” a debt of grati- tude for so cheerfully and so adequately accompany- ing us on the piano in vocal and orchestral work throughout this year. “Dot” is always cheerful, always the same. Her presence in school will be greatly missed in the future. “Dot” may go to Miss Illman's Kindergarten School next year. Louise Schjerup General “Then on! then on! where duty leads. My course be onward still! Weizie.” as she is known to her many friends, just came to our school this year, but she has been one of our loyal supporters. Louise likes oral work very much (?). we are sure. Louise charms us with her voice. Here’s to your success at Normal next year. Don’t capture too many hearts! Susie Spann Household Arts “Prosperity be thy page.” Susie came to us from Carlisle High School. In her two years here she has gained many friends. She is quite talented in playing the piano and also in singing. We have often heard her sigh while playing, and. although we have not been able to find out for whom those sighs were meant, we ima- gine they were for someone up at Carlisle. Hester Williams General “I live in a crowd of jollity ” Hester is full of childish ways. Whenever we hear a childish voice we know she is near. She has won many friends by her smiles and pleasant disposition.
