Characteristic: Tin Soldier. “We'll see what cates you have— For soldiers' stomachs always serve them well.'' SPEED—that’s “Ally” in one word. lie’s fast all right—when he’s in his auto. When he is in school. Ally and his allies are inclined to he uproarious, his lo- cation in the dining room is always evident from the hearty laugh inspired by his humor (?). Docs he ever sit still on the Senior porch to enjoy nature? Yes, but it’s always human nature; his train- ing on Natural History seemed to lie in the same direc- tion. Nevertheless, Ally’s business head has been a boon to this Year Book, as well as to the Brown and White. Here’s hoping that Ally's speedy ways won’t bring his career to an early end. ROBERT LEE HAINES 54 East Main Street, Moorestown, N. J. Entered—Fall 1919. Brightonians (2): Kustie (2); (1). S): Parliamentary (1). (S): Union (1). (S); Natural Ilistorv Committee (S); Student Council (2); Secretary. Stu- dent Bodv (1): Year Book Board S): Assistant Manager Soccer ( f); Second Hank Skating (1): Class President (1); Triangle (1). (S). Characteristic: Compass. True as the needle to the pole— Or as the dial to the sun.” BOR,.......Feedle,” or “Prof.” are three of Haines’ nick- names, a lack of which lu will never sec. Each cognomen apparently comes from one of Bob’s hobbies. “Teedle” has been known to chase a beetle for a mile or more. When he captures a pet, he cages it up in a cyanide jar for future study. “Prof.” is a cynic who watches a good base hall game drowsily, and after a home run has been made, comments on the good exer- cise to he obtained from running around the diamond. But in reality this is merely a pose calculated to excite the base ball fans to argument. The rest of the time lie is “Bobbing” up in our groups to settle an argument with conclusive facts. Page 20

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.

(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.

If you ever get into any difficulty or get homesick, just let Harry know, and she’ll always help you out. That's the kind of a girl she is. .Just notice Harry’s eyes sometimes! When she was about three she said to her Mother, “Katie has such pretty eyes! and we agree with this idea. Harry’s a dandy sport, too, and for entertainment at a party she is willing to masquerade as—well, even a fool, 1 guess- It always takes some peo- ple like that—unselfish folks—to make up the world.

Characteristic: Egg Beater (A good mixer). tfA perfeci woman, nobly planned to comfort, cherish and command.” WHAT is Hnrtzie’s chief characteristic? Well, I think it is her democratic spirit. There's nothing that she couldn’t do with the help of her determination; and there is nobody in the world that she would turn away from if she saw a chance to help. This is the girl who has faced life as it is, and has found something to carry her along. When you see the twinkle in her eyes, you may have no idea what she is thinking about nor what she is planning. She is always rushed with her work. She evidently believes that to he of use in the world is the only way to he happy, and what she does, she does quickly. When you hear, “Well, I’m afraid that-------- you know it is settled without question. Page 21
