Borty starts the day i)nnetually at ().o( with a dive out of bed. A couple of minutes later a handsome youth with that business-like look which accompanies most small men, saunters into the dining room. Borty looks equally unconcerned whether he is conducting First-day collection, giving a class party, managing the business end of the “Brown and White,” or presiding over Parliamentary. He gets fussed only in Geometry classes. Borty runs under the other fel- lows in soccer and kicks the hall through their legs. But don’t ignore him even if he is small, a player didn't see that Borty was there once, and in falling over him acci- dentally broke a collar hone. MARY EILEEN BRINTON 123 South High Street, West Chester, Pa. Filtered- Full 1020. Monitor 7.13 Collection (1): Pennant Committee (1); Kxeeutive Committee for Class i uy (1): Cnion (S); Comitia (S): Year Book Hoard N): Class Hockey Team (S). French Club (S). Secretary (S); Proctor Committee (S). School of Industrial Arts, Philadelphia, Pa. Characteristic: Kitten “Hang sorrow! care'll kill a cat.” H I l’SSY wants a corner.” This was the way that 1 • Eileen felt when she came to Westtown two years ago; hut it didn't take her long to find a corner in everyone's heart. Eileen's Huffy hair reminds one of a kitten, and if you rub her the wrong way—especially about polities look out! Although Kilcen may he kit- tenish in many ways, I never knew any kitten that could get on the scholarship list, or play hockey and basket- ball. Did you ever see baleen blush? Well -she surely can. A good sport? Well—I'll say she’s the best ever. Page 15

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

SARAH WRIGHT BRINTON 123 South High Street, West Chester, Pa. K n to red—Fall 1 !0. Monitor 7.1 Coiled ion (I): Treasure Seekers (S): Comitia (S), Treasurer (S) : I’nion (S): Mascot. Motto and Flower Committee (S): Dress Commitlee S : French Club (S): Class Gym Team (S); Class Day Com- mittee (S). School of Industrial Arts, Philadelphia, Pa. Characteristic: Primrose ' The best goods come in small packages.” “Anybody here seen Kelly? Kelly with the green necktie?” “No! But I’ve seen Surah, Sarah with the little red tic.”’ SAltAlI believes in the saying -“Silence is golden, hut when she speaks we all realize that “The best goods come in small packages” We realize this in more than one way in class affairs, for she can play hockey, and decorate for parties. “Her hair is light and her eyes are blue, and she is Irish thru and thru,” and it always takes the perseverance of the Irish to accom- plish things. Therefore, we expect Sarah to have success as an artist at the School of Industrial Arts, in Philadelphia. VERNON LEE BROWN 1327 Irving Street N. W., Washington, D. C. Filtered—Fall 1919.

Varsity • (S); Captain ' lass Track Team (1); (S), 2nd High Scorer Intra-School Meet (1). C haracteristic: Anchor (To keep him steady) “It is the talent of human nature to run from one extreme to the other.” VT ERNY” puts the pep into about everything that can he called athletics. The soccer hall has a mighty poor chance when Verity’s between it and the goal; the basketball looks at home in “Captain Brown’s” hands; and baseball and track come in for a share of his time. Evidently athletics interest him more than lessons. But stubbornness appears when you try to tell Vcrny that lie’s wasting his time in a little gentle hazing. “You have to get some fun out of life,” and he does; he never appears to he worried. But he’s another of those who are quiet; quietness is a rare asset to school fellows. Page 16
