“Dot i» DOROTHY ELLEN CRAWFORD 67 Price St. Lansdowne, Pa. Entered Fall 191a Athenians (2); President (2); Gym Squad Leader (2); Monitor 7:15 Col- lection (2), (1); Treasure Seekers (2). (1); Class Hockey Team (2), (1), (S); Comitia (1), (S), Speaker (S); Union (S); Varsity Hockey Team (S), Insignia (S). Manager (S); Characteristic Committee (S); Northfield Leader (S). “Ha! Ha!” and there goes a credit off for Dot. But she isn’t laughing all the time, as the Tea Room and Hockey schedule will show plenty of hard work. As for poor Joan of Arc burning at the “steak,” she can tell you all about it. Even a broken ankle can’t keep her down, and we know her pep will never give out. She enlivens any part of the school or campus where she happens to be, filling us with jokes and nonsensical absurdities which we are always ready to accept. Characteristic: Magnet. I love fools' experiments; I am always making them. Pierce Business College “Walt WALTER EVANS DARNELL 23 Prospect Ave. Moorestown, N. J. Entered Fall 1922 Brightonians (2); Radio (2), (1), (S), Secretary (1), President (S); Latin Club (2), (1), Quaestor (1); Union (1), (S), President (S); Triangle (S); Peace Essay, First Prize (S); Characteristic Committee (S); Parliamentary (S), Clerk. Pity poor Walt. He's had seven Plane Geometry exams so far, and only has gotten 100 in six of them. He carries four mathematics, and always counts on them for A’s; usually he gets them. You can almost always find Walt in Colonel’s room, either listening to the radio or fixing it. Walt’s going to play baseball this spring and show us that he can cover short-stop as well as run the Radio Club or preside over Union. We have also made him serve such lowly positions as clerk of Parliamentary, but Walt’s not proud. Characteristic: Log Book. It is only the ignorant who despise education. Cornell CAROLYN VIRGINIA DeCOU 3 West Maple Ave. Moorestown, N. J. Entered Fall 1922 Athenians (2); Latin Club (2), (1); Comitia (1), (S), Clerk (S); Union (1), (S); Pennant Committee (1); Monitor 7:15 Collection (1); Gym Squad Leader (1), (S); Art Club (S), Secretary (S); Young Friends' Committee (S); Year Book Board, Art Editor (S); Student Council Member (S); Vice President Athletic Association (S). Carol has two favorite pastimes: one is disturbing classes by marching with a military tread overhead, and the other is drawing; for Carol is an artist of repute, bearing the title of “Art Editor. An honor student who is both happy-go-lucky and full of pep is hard to find; Carol adds to this still another admirable quality; she tells you frankly what her mind is. Characteristic: Halter. A short saying oft contains much wisdom. Penn. State 19 ‘Carol”

CARROLL BUNTING CHIPLEY Linn St. Bklleponte, Pa. Entered Fall 1923 Union (1), (S); Latin Club (1); French Club (1). (S); Comitia (S); Art Club (S); Brown and White Board (S); Year Book Board (S). Buried beneath the pages of' some forgotten lore—by a slow process of excavation we finally resurrect Carroll, and in answer to our query, we find that she really did get an “A” in English this time. She is blessed with the power of concentration, and equally the ability to write, an accomplishment envied by all of us, and some of the boys. Even as we write, she is probably penning some prodigious lines for this book. Characteristic: Encyclopedia. And torture one poor word ten thousand ways. “Polly MARY BALDWIN CONARI) The Knoll Lansdowne, Pa. Entered Fall 1922 Athenians (2), Secretary (2); Monitor 7:15 Collection (2); Assistant Hockey Manager (2); Gym Squad Leader (2); Proctor 7:15 Collection (1); Student Council (1), (S). President Student Body (S); Comitia (1), (S); Union (1), (S); French Club (1), (S); Latin Club (1), (S); Second Hockey Team (1). (S); Proctor Committee (1); Young Friends’ Committee (1), (S); Religious Life Committee (1), (S); Delta (1), (S); Cum Laude (S); Northfield Leader (S); Secretary of Athletic Association (1); Brown and White Baird (1), (S); Characteristic Committee (S). There isn’t much Polly can’t do. Between frequent explosions of laughter she may be seen with stern brow and commanding countenance haranguing the student body or signing up as a member of Cum Laude. Then, too, she furnishes amusement for the Algebra class, not always knowing the subject under discussion when called upon. Between the cut-ups of herself and her wife, her room invariably gets a call down on the average of once a day. Characteristic: Funny Paper. Laugh at your friends, and if your friends get sore, So much the better, you may laugh the more. Mt. Holyoke FRANCES GARRETT COPE Media, Pa. Entered Fall 1922 Athenians (2); Proctor 7:15 Collection (2); Gym Squad Leader (2); Proctor Committee (1); Northfield Leader (S); Class Secretary (1); Basket- ball Team (1), (S). Insignia (1). Varsity “W (S); Hockey Team (1), (S), Insignia (1), (S), Captain (S); Comitia (1), (S), Treasurer (1); Union (1), (S); Delta (1), (S); Cum Laude (S); Brown and White Board (S); Mantle of Dignity (S). That halo of hair and perfect profile remind one at once of an angel, but far be it from “Garrett to be angelic. She has lots of pleasing little tricks, ranging from falling in streams to sketching portraits and standing on her head. We won’t dispute her title to the Mantle of Dignity,” but only men- tion it in passing. Having no regard for the feelings of her mortal companions, she continually gets all “A’s” and as a finishing touch and crowning victory, she steps into the Cum Laude. Characteristic: Quaker Bonnet. A daughter of the gods, divinely tail and most divinely fair. Mt. Holyoke “Garrett” 18

“Clara CLARA ROSELLA DEWEES Route 4 West Chester, Pa. Entered Fall 1920 Home Economics (1). (S); Union (S); Comitia (S); Art Club (S); Class Day Committee (1); Year Book Board (S), Art Editor; Class Hockey Team (S). Clara must certainly have joined the U. S. postal service corps, for dees she not present us with our mail each day? She dees not advertise the fact that she is an excellent artist, neither does she care much about other people's business. Her art work may be seen gracing these pages, and she may often be seen accomplishing those little tasks which we so thoughtlessly forget. Characteristic: Paint Brush. How doth the little busy bee— School of Industrial Arts “Disease' THOMAS ARTHUR DEWEES Route 4 Wcst Chester. Pa. Entered Fall 1919 Rustic (1), (S), Chairman Business Committee; Union (S). Here is the true “rusticus abnormis sapiens, for what Tern doesn't know about farming and agriculture could be printed in a very small space. Tcm is very loquacious and inquisitive, and has even been known to be supepextra' noisy. And yet. when you want a favor done, whom do you ask, and who proves your friend. Why, Tom does; and you ought to see him tear around the track. Characteristic: Fog Horn. His barl{ is worse than his bite. “Cicero” ROBERT DONALD EDGERTON Langhorne, Pa. Entered Fall 1923 Natural History Committee (S); Rustic (1), iS , President (S); Union (1), (S). Treasurer (S); President Athletic Association (S); Member of Exccu' tive (S); Characteristic Committee (S); Latin Club (1), (S). Princeps (S); Parliamentary (S); Class Day Committee (1); Varsity Soccer Team (1), (S), Insignia (1), Varsity “W ($); Varsity Baseball Team £1), (S), Varsity “W” (1), (S), Captain (1), (S). “Cognoscere Ciceronem est amare Ciceronem. Cicero doesn’t mind if we tell him he's foolish because he knows he is always trying to make us laugh at some brilliant witticism of his. He's pitcher on the baseball team, plays soccer, tennis, basketball, and just burns up the quartepmile track. It goes without saying that he knows Latin, for we find him presiding over the Latin club. Although he denies it, yet must we say that he has a mania for collecting movie stars' pictures; witness the mural decorations of the glass house. ;r Characteristic: Jackass. Come out, my lord, this is a world of fools. Penn. State 20
