IO THE GARNET AND WHITE EARL J. DIVINE General “A quiet chap who does his work and does not talk about it.” Perfect Attendance. I.

IDA MAY DOWNING General “She looks scornfully, but endures human foibles good naturedly.” History Cub. III. IV: Glee Club. II. Class Lieutenant. IV. Ida May is an excellent helper, but is so good natured that she lets everyone impose on her. She has a hobby of missing the Honor Roll by a few points. We know by her ever- readiness to help and determination to finish her work that she will make a good stenographer. Ida May expects to attend Peirce's Business School next year in preparation for her future which '27 hopes will be happy and successful.

HELEN DUNN General “They that govern the most make the least noise. Classical Club. IV: Dramatic Club. IV: History Club. IV. Helen came to us from Unionville near the end of her Sopho- more year. She is usually quiet, but once in a while she breaks into a laugh. Then. too. she has a most charming disposition. This last characteristic will be very useful to her when she leaves W. C. H S.. for Helen is going into training at the Homeopathic Hospital. A very good nurse she will be. Let us wish her health, happiness, and success.
