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

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

CHARLES ALLEN CLEMENT J24 King's Highway, West Haddonfield, N. J. Entered—Fall 1919. Brichtonians (2), Treasurer (2). (1 ). Rustic (2), (1). (S) Vice President (S); Treasurer (S). Par liamentary (S): Fnion (S): Natural History (S): Radio (2). (I): Pennant Committee (1): 3rd Rank Skating (S): French Circle (S) ; Characteristic Committee (S). Haverford Characteristic: Music to “Smiles.” “The optimist sees the doughnut; the pessimist sees the hole.”. IT’S a ticklish proposition to conic up against “Smiles; ’ if you accidentally brush against his fifth rib, he be- gins to laugh. In fact, he can laugh even when his neighbors are busy eating his crackers and sardines. In- cidentally, he can nearly always be found by following the odors of sardines or corned-beef to their source. Between “feeds” he haunts the dark-room, where he develops film after film which has been wasted on the people around the school, instead of on our pictur- esque country. “Smiles'” other two hobbies are swim- ming and hiking; he is often clever enough to turn hikes into shike, and get away with it too. RALPH LELAND COPE Kennett Square, Pa. Entered—Fall 1921. Union (S), Class Track Term (S); Radio (S). Characteristic: A spring (To push him forward) “A penny for your thoughts.” Y()Lt have to keep your eyes rather than your ears open for Cope. The fellows used to kid Ralph about samples, varying from fit-medicine to tooth paste, which flooded his mail box at the beginning of the year; but he was ever quiet. When the hard pull came towards the end of the year, it was mighty good to find at least one quiet neighbor in that Senior section. Cope’s hobby is said to be aeronautics—let's hope he doesn’t get too flighty when he leaves Westtown. Page 17
