6 THE GARNET AND WHITE CHARLOTTE BAIRD ALLEN Secretarial “Life's a beautiful institution; Let us take things as they come.” Commercial Club 111. IV; Typewriting Certificate; Track III. Charlotte came to us from Lionville at the beginning of her Sophomore year. Although “Charlie” has been with us only three years, she has made many friends by her smiles and gentleness. We feel sure that she will make a fine secretary for somebody, although she is undecided as to her future. LILLIAN E. ANDERSON Classical “Truer than steel and better than gold.” History Club III. IV; French Club III. IV; Perfect Attend- ance III: Honor Roll Charm III; Captain Yankee Division IV; Classical Club III. Council IV: Gift Committee IV. “Fill” has been with us for only two years and what Avon- dale has lost we have gained. By the list of her activities, as shown above, we may readily see that she has lost no time in getting acquainted with dear old W. C. H. S. She is planning next year to go to the State Teachers College, and. as we know her as an A pupil, we know she will be successful. CAROLINE BACHMAN Secretarial “Very quiet, yes, 'tis true; But she will appeal to you.” Class Lieutenant I: Typewriting Certificate III: Dramatic Club III; History Club IV; Commercial Club IV. “Honey” hails from down the “main line.” She appears to be quiet, but she isn’t when you know her as a great many do. “Honey” is undecided as to what her future career will be. but we are sure she will make a success in anything she may undertake. FRANK KIRK BICKING Scientific “Never study, never worry; Take life easy, what's the hurry?” Class Notes and Coments Editor GARNET AND WHITE I: French Club III. IV; Varsity Football III. IV; Varsity Base- ball III, IV; Mixed Chorus I. II; Provisional Track Manager II; Class Lieutenant II. Ill; Secretary of Boys’ Athletic Assoc- iation IV. “Hank” has been one of the main stays of 1928, always active in sports and school activities. Everyone likes him and his winning smile. His playing on the gridiron and baseball diamond is one of his reasons for being popular. Wherever there is a group of people, you may be sure that Hank will be amusing them. His ability to make friends will help him as much as anything when he goes to Penn State next year.

There is a certain knack in being superior to others and not letting them know it. Marie certainly has that knack. She has. for all four years, excelled in all things without a bit of trouble. Not only is Marie able to lead, but she follows well too! She has been an asset to any team or club of which she has been a part. May she never lose that “old pep and fighting spirit” that we all admire!
