“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

“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”

SARA GERTRUDE EDGERTON 37 Elmhurst Ave. Trenton, N. J. Entered Fall 192a Proctor Committee (2); Latin Club (2); French Club (2), (1); Athenians (2); Poetry Club (2); Elecutionary Contest Finals (1); Assistant Swimming Manager (1); Union (S); Comitia (S): Home Economics (S); Class Poet (S); Art Club (S). Sentimental Sally may often be caught in the very act of scurrying across the late line, or breathlessly entering a class rocm. Other times she may be reading poetry or reciting it from the rostra, whistling the tune of “The Highwayman. In full cognizance of her poetic ability wre have chosen her as our poet. Characteristic: Alfred Noyes' Poems. Better I ate than never. Cornell ‘‘Sally' “Peg’ MARGARET COOPER EVANS Riverton, N. J. Entered Fall 1922 Athenians (2); Monitor 7:1? Collection (2), (1); Hockey Team (2), (1), (S), Insignia (2).

(S). Here's good old “Cooper to sympathize with us and cheer us over the rough spots. She has shown us how to play basketball, and win varsities right and left, but in spite of all these honors, or maybe because of them, good fun is by no means lacking. She is a hard worker, and anything in her charge is sure to be done well. For an all 'round good friend, we take off our hats to Peg- Characteristic: Golden Rule. Little deeds of kindness, little words of love. Help to mal(e earth happy, lil{c the heaven above. Mt. Holyoke “Georcie GEORGE SELLERS GARRETT 463 Runnymede Ave. Drexel Hill, Pa. Entered Fall 1922 Radio (2), (1), Treasurer (1); Brightonians (2); Parliamentary (1), (S), Treasurer (S). Vice Speaker (S); Union (i), (S); Young Friends' Committee (S); Group Leader (S); Class Day Committee (S); Member of Executive (Si; Student Council (S). Senior Member at Large; Soccer Team (1), Junior Varsity (S). Captain (S), Insignia (1), (S), Class Team (S); Varsity Basketball Team (S), Varsity “W (S), Manager (S); Baseball Team (1), (S). Insignia (1), Assistant Manager (1); Class Track Team (1); Class Swimming Team (1). George doesn't mind if you ask him to name all the players on a certain team for a certain year. The rest of us know Babe Ruth, but George knows them all; and there arc volumes of baseball magazines on his desk. George also represents us on the student council, and is the able manager of our basketball team. Can you punctuate this as we would? “Follow Garrett road to success. Characteristic: The Baseball Magazine. What a man has, he is sure of. Haver ford 21
