IV: Hall Monitor. IV: Class Lieutenant. IV. “Reedec comes from a farm along the Brandywine, not far from Marshallton. He was always a willing worker and although not an Honor Roll Student, was not one of those who just barely pulled through. We feel that wherever he goes, if it be to gain a higher education, to enter business or to become one of those very necessary, though much ridi- culed farmers, he will find a place to fill and will fill it well.

It must have been “AlleyOf course, you know “Alley”: she catches the eye of everyone with her merry smiles and curly hair. We all know that when “Ailey becomes a “stenog” after going to Peirces Business School, she will brighten up the dullest of offices. “Alley's” a good all-around sport, never loo studious or too gay. RACHEL ELIZABETH REIMER Commercial “Good nature and good sense must ever join. Rac joined our class in her Junior year, but during these last two years she has made many friends. She is always smil- ing and full of fun. She possesses a wonderful hand for writing, and we know her employer will be obtaining a good bookkeeper. Whatever Rae” attempts, we are sure she will accomplish and make a name for herself in the near future. HELEN M. RIGG General “Hang sorrow! Care will kill a cat; And, therefore, let's be merry!

Although “Tubbic” is leaving High School, she will be a regular visitor, for she is not going far away. Helen is going down to Normal School. We know she will be as popular and jolly down there as she was here. Helen was not especially fond of lessons, but did not neglect them for other things. She was a loyal supporter of all the activities in the school. Rain. hail, or snow. “Tubbie” would be seen cheering loyally for W. C. H. S.’s football team. Like wise she supported everything else the school undertook. We are sorry to lose her. but are glad she is not going far away. Come visit old W. C. H. S. often. Helen. You will always be welcome!

She is going to con- tinue her gymnasium work at the Normal School next year. Carol is full of pep and she certainly can dance!

THE GARNET AND WHITE 25 BLANCHE VIRGINIA SEWELL General “Ever ready with a merry joke, She’s sure to cure your blues.” “So Big” is a regular doctor of blues, but she can be serious at the right time. She is always willing to part with some of her store of knowledge. She is going to take up nursing at the Mercy Hospital in Philadelphia. Her light-hearted and care tree laugh will be missed by all of us.

When we see a petite figure rushing hurriedly around the corridors we all know ‘Val'' is on some mission. All those who are her pals are proud of the fact. She is undecided whether she will go to Normal or to Temple University, but we know that she will make friends either place as easily as she has here.
