Class Poem IN the past and distant ages E’er the rise of men and sages, God did give a chosen place Special beauty, charm, and grace. He gave it fine and fertile land, And shaped its form with His own hand, He made it gently sloping hills, Deep and winding vales and rills. He dotted it with lofty trees Whose pointed crown one scarcely sees. Here and there He placed the oak, And poplar, elad in glossy cloak. Thru the glens and shaded bowers Did he scatter dainty flowers, And gave to each a fragrance rare To charm away His children’s care. ’Twas here our fathers did deeree Our dear and cherished school should be Where we one and all might find Good for both the soul and mind. From Westtown portals every year A class has passed with memories dear; And in each student’s heart is fixed The joys of sport and duty mixed. So now the Class of Twenty-two Sees the parting day in view, And grieves to leave the rosy dawns. The lofty trees, and rolling lawns. But each is taking in his heart The truth and light she does impart; So now where e’er we chance to go We’ll be a light with steady glow. We’ll keep in view our highest aim, Build for character, not for fame, And bear aloft the high ideal Wcsttown’s sons and daughters feel. Anna Moffitt, ’22. Pate 13

DONALD GAY BAKER Haverford, Pa. Entered—Fall 1920. Parliamentary (S): I’nion (S): Class Soccer Team (S); Second Soccer Team (S) ; Insignia (S): Characteristic Committee (S). Haverford Characteristic: Cereal Dish “Born but to banquet and drain the bowl.” |T’S NOT a railroad conductor, but merely Baker ex- ercising his lungs on “Philadelphia, Trenton, New York,” with the intervening stations thrown in for special occasions. He is distinguished as the youngest hoy in the class; and he acts the part quite well, es- pecially when creating a disturbance with his water pistol. He lapses at times into study, and again lie is distinguished as the only Greek student in the school. When the “Brown and White” comes out, humorous comments on the few mistakes flow from Baker’s room, quite irritating the editors. But the editors' vocifer- ations arc swamped with a steady stream of glib com- ments, till Baker finds himself conqueror, alone in his critic’s lair. ANNA MAY PENNING 908 Berkley Ave., Trenton, N. J. Kntered—Fajl 1919. Athenians (2); Home Economies (2), ( H. (S): t’nion (S); Treasure Seekers (S): French Club S): Chairman Pin Committee (1): Proctor Committee (S); Characteristic Committee (S): (ivin Team (1); Class Hoekev Team (S): Class Basketball Team (1): Comitia (S); Soup Committee (S). University of Pennsylvania Characteristic: Jigger for a victrola. “Her very foot hath music as she comes up the stair.” “Rivers so blue, so blue and bright. As dawn’s pearly hue, as dawn’s sweet light..” rVD you hear that? Know who it was? Why that’s Ben. Ever hear her sing the Blue Danube Waltz? Well! you just ought to, for it certainly is beautiful! It s a case of “Hail, hail the gang’s all here!” when Ben begins to sing, ’cause she surely can draw a crowd. By the way, ever taste any of Anna's fudge? If she starts to make it at a party, she's the “Belle of the Evening” for everyone crowds around her then. But say, ever get Anna sore at you? Well, just look out then—for when Ben gets mad it's almost worse than the Egyptian plagues. But in spite of this latter fact we expect suc- cess for her in the world. Pag» 14
