Characteristic: Notebook (For her Committees) “The labor we delight in, physics pain ” DO you know this young Miss? (be sure not to call her “Cow!”) If you don’t you have missed something. Marion is a good sport in sports, fun, and lessons. She is having a hard time to learn to swim, but that just shows she isn’t a fish. Marion is very loyal to her native land. New Jersey, and is always able to defend it by word and deed, mostly word. Marion’s giggle and sly smile are enough to pull any one out of the dumps. So take my advice and make her acquaintance.

Wellesley. Characteristic: Bluebird (For happiness). “As merry as the day is long.” Though “Freddie” is one of the three Seniors with bobbed hair, no one ean deny that she has dig- nity and a distinet presence, whether she is filling the Student Body President’s place, studying Ethics aloud on her back with her eyes shut, regarding the assembled class, casting her eyes upon you with a twinkle from the hall proctor’s chair as you rush by at 9.45, pro- claiming “The Ballad of East and West” from the platform, or appearing suddenly in the Senior Parlor with “Wlier-e r’s my hooks?” “Turn oft’ the radiator, please.” Whose voice was that at your door? It has a persuasive tone that has been known to bring people to Senior Tea in spite of their piled-up lessons, and all their good resolutions to study them, or many a time to bring quiet to a rebellious and disputing room-full of girls.

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

West Chester Normal School Characteristic: Pair of man's working gloves. “Gardening or husbandry are healthy recreations. ff'pDDIE’ or “Mary has got the push. You should j see her pushing thru her lessons and pushing the hall down the hockey field, it doesn’t make much differ- ence to her, whether the hall goes under, over, or thru people so long as it reaches the goal. “Eddie” pushes people over hard places too, when they get stuck. An- other thing, “Eddie's one of these people you can count on every time, whether it’s Blowing up Basketballs, doing her Best on an entertainment committee, or writ- ing characteristic sketches for the Year Book. ARTHUR WARREN GREENE 40 East 54th Street, New York City, N. Y. Entered—Pall 1917. Student Council (8): Brigbtoni ms (3). (2). Secretary (2). President (2): Parliamentary (1 ). (S). Cnion (1). (S); Prophecy Committee S). Williams College. Characteristic: Orations of Patrick Henry. ’His words, like poetry, are measured by the foot.’’ IF you follow up the melodious notes of the “Love Nest” rendered By a jazz orchestra via the phono- graph, you will find “Greeny” ensconced at his table, reeling off Latin translations to the rhythm of the music. But he sure to read over the dictionary be- fore engaging him in conversation; his Latin has al- ready taught him how to substitute two or three ponderous words for short expressions. His words flow sluggishly through your Brain, every third or fourth one leaving behind a hint of some deep meaning to the conversation. “Greeny” already tends to the firm and massive tread of some loquacious lawyer or statesman.
