His good-nature and pluckiness have won him many friends in his scholastic work and on the athletic field. He is a good example for the old quotation.

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.

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.

Underwood III; Typewriting Medal, Underwood IV; Lieutenant III; Track IV. If you want ‘ Rufus,” just page Charlotte. In school or out. they are always together. The “Gold Dust Twins” have nothing on them! Ruth is one of those unusual creatures, who, though she chatters a great deal, accomplishes a great deal. Rufus can help us out of tight places, and we know she will make a successful secretary. CARL BROSCH Scientific “Silence is golden.” Cross Country Varsity II. Ill; Captain IV: Track Squad II; Varsity III. IV: Class Basketball III, IV; Science Club IV; Assistant Football Manager III. Buck is one of our ambitious young people who are going to be farmers.

If something is to be done, we can depend on “Buck.” FRANCES BROWN General Most dangerous are these quiet folks.” History Club IV; Dramatic Club IV. ' Peaches” has been with us all four years. Although she seems quiet to those who do not know her so well, to her friends she is a confirmed giggler. Frances is undecided about next year, but we feel sure she will be successful in whatever she undertakes. THOMAS BURNESON, JR. General “Whatever is popular deserves attention.” Cross Country Squad II: Track Squad II: Orchestra I. Ill, IV: Senior Chorus IV; Operetta III: Cantata IV. Somehow or other. 'Burney” seems to fit into every occasion, no matter what it may be. He has been a faithful member of the orchestra and a valuable support to the track team. Burney” intends to study Undertaking and we wish him “lots” of success in this line.
