“Lily ALFRED CHAPMAN BURTON 294 West Main St. Moorestown.N. J. Entered Fall 1923 Radio (1). (S), Vice President (S); Rustic (1), (S); Union (S). Parliamentary (S); Junior Varsity Soccer Team (S), Class Soccer Team (S), Insignia (S); Varsity Basketball Team (S), Varsity W , Class Team (S); Assistant Man ager of Baseball (S). When one sees Lily's six feet two blocking up the soccer goal, his en- thusiasm for a charge rapidly lessens, and Lily masters the ball. His delicate blush reminded us of a rose, so we called him Lily, or maybe it was because he used to be a milkmaid. If you see a grape fruit rind sailing down the hall, and glance in the direction from which it came, lo and behold, there is Lily reading “College Humor.” Characteristic: Flower Pot. The man that blushes is not quite a brute. Drcxcl “Wee' WILLIAM ALFORD BREEDLOVE 1223 Euclid St., N.W. Washington, D. C. Entered Fall 1919 Ataraxa (3); Brightonians (2); Parliamentary (S); Union (S); French Club (S). Wee certainly does love to play. At what? Oh, anything at all, just so he has a good time. Sometimes he is sad; maybe he misses his brother, or maybe he is just going to French class. He is wielding a mighty tennis racquet this Spring; and Ye Gods, how he could argue in Parliamentary. Characteristic: Goat (Lafollette). Men are but children of a greater growth.

My. aren't these heart-breakers numerous. You know, Lou has the most fun when he's playing tricks on some one. especially his wife. Lou doesn't mind walking around the edge of the roof, either; he knows he couldn’t go clear through the ground if he fell. The most credit is due to him, tho, for keeping the A. A. money straight, and cutting out our varsities. And generous? Well—it's a toss up between him and Lolly. Characteristic: Clown. Beware the fury of a patient man. 5 “Lou' Swarthmore

LYDIA LOUISE ALLEN 231 Poplar Avc. Woodbury, N. J. Entered Fall 1924 Union; Comitia; Latin Club; French Club. Louise reads Virgil with as much volubility as we might expect from an oracle of Apollo. Doc will not be hurried, and allows no one to ruffle her imperturbable disposition; we are told that she is capable of quelling even a Boh shevik uprising with one of her frigid glances backed by a dignified reserve. Her ambition leads her on to a medical career, and if she puts as much real energy into that as she has displayed during her short visit with us, we know she will succeed. Characteristic: 19th Amendment. Mistress of herself, though China fall. Wellesley Louise Ed' EDWARD FRENCH BAILEY Tacoma, Ohio Entered Fall 1924 Union; Rustic, Secretary; Class Song Committee. If you catch a glimpse of a woodsman Cutting down a tree. Glance a little closer. And then perhaps you'll see that it is Ed working in the arboretum, laying low the mighty oaks. Ed is a member of the Skeptics' Society, and then, too, he often plays office boy and answers the telephone in the business office. Characteristic: Telephone. Little strokes fell big oaljs. Ohio State ALBERTA MAE BANGHAM Orchard Avc. Lebanon, Ohio Entered Fall 1924 Comitia; Union; Music Club, Secretary; Treasure Seekers; Girls Choir. When you have a craving for music, it isn’t necessary to trouble yourself with the vie, but only to go sec Bert. You can't help forgetting all your troubles when she sings, or plays the violin; in fact she can aid at most any' thing. She even made a success with mayonnaise dressing when suddenly called on to make some. We are glad she was given the inspiration to come east for a year, and we only wish she had joined us sooner. Characteristic: Fiddlestick. Music is well said to be the speech of angels. Ohio Wesleyan “Bert 14

(S), Vice President (S); Parliamentary (S); Year Book Board (S), Editor in Chief (S); Brown and White Board (S); Triangle (S). No one really needs an introduction to Shiek, whose hand rules these pages. Shiek always docs accomplish everything he starts out to do, and he does it carefully, neatly, and thoroughly. He also possesses that rare quality of thinking before he speaks. When the melodious notes of a “sweet potato or a mouth organ drift toward you, you may know that Shiek is soothing many savage breasts with his musical charms. Characteristic: Mouth Organ. Few things are impossible to diligence and slpll. Sam SAMUEL THATCHER BRINTON 213 Euclid Ave. Haddonpield, N. J. Entered Fall 1920 Brightonians (3), (2); Radio (3). (2). (1), (S), Secretary (S); Second Rank Skating (1). Numerals (1); Union (S); Parliamentary (S); Class Day Com mittee (1); Class Track Team (4), (3). If you hear a pair of bones rattling, you will know it is Sam; or if you get hit on the head with a golf ball, you may know that he is somewhere about. Sam is always happy and in good humor when we can disengage him from his work long enough to talk to him. Have you noticed that stamp collectors arc always good in math? Sam is a physics expert. Characteristic: Pair of bones. Right is right, because to follow right were wis.lom in the scorn of consequence. Havcrford ALICE DEBORAH BROWN 328 Franklin Ave. Cheltenham, Pa.

Varsity “W (S); Reader Commencement Essay. Had we twice as much room, we could not say all about Brownie that we would like to. She is the mainstay of the girls' side in athletics, lessons, literary accomplishments, and political prowess. She is exceptionally well skilled in the arts of arguing, skating, paddling, and drinking tea. As one of our first members, she probably knows all the ins and outs of her class mates, and we hope she regards them with the same spirit of good fellowship as they do her. Enfin. “Dux femxna est. Characteristic: Tea Cup. Hear thou. Great Brownie whom three realms obey, doth sometimes counsel take—and sometimes tea. Bryn Mawr 16 Brownie”
