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?

(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.

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.

“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

“Fran” MARY FRANCES GOODWIN 1148 Sterling St. COATESVILLE, Pa. Entered Fall 1921 Student Council (3); Gym Squad Leader (3); Proctor 7:15 Collection (3); Proctor Committee (3); Class Chairman (a); Athenians (3), (a); Latin Club (a), (1), (S); French Club (2). (1), (S); Young Friends' Committee (a); Home Economics (1); Class Day Committee (1); Union (1), (S); Delta (a), (1); Class Hockey Team (S). Here's a giggler for you, for Fran laughs all day, and a good part of the night. If you ever see her looking glum, you may score one; for we never have. No one need ask where she is after lunch; as per usual, she is having her Latin read to her in Senior Parlor, but in other lessons she usually plays the “magister.” As a result of her good management, she is in constant de mand for responsible positions and many committees. Characteristic; Laughing Gas. Hospitality sitting with gladness. Wheaton College Willie' W1LLITS PARKER HAINES, JR. 839 Wesley Ave. Ocean City, N. J. Entered Fall 1921 Radio (3). (2), Vice President (3), President (2), Treasurer (3); Union (S); Parliamentary (S); Chief Inspector (2), (S); Year Book Board, Photo' graphic Manager (S); Insignia in Soccer (S); Captain Swimming Team (S); Group Leader (1), (S); Class Swimming Team (1), (S); Student Council (3), (S); Characteristic Committee (S); Social Committee (1). If Willie hits you once while on the soccer field, you will call for help; and yet if you were in the surf at Ocean City, this same call for help would be answered by a veteran life saver. Willie's the foundation of the swimming team, chief inspector (and most severe), and class characteristic and group photographer. He has taken some good pictures this year, witness the con tents of this book. Do you hear the mellow strains of an accordion or a mouth organ? Maybe he is playing “Home, Sweet Home” or “What'll I Do?” We just can’t leave Willie without saying that he is the campus shick. Characteristic: Duck. A solitary sh(r)ief(: the bubbling cry of some strong swimmer in bis agony. LaFayctte DOROTHY LUCILE HALL 1610 Compton Road Cleveland, Ohio Entered Fall 1924 Union; Comitia; Latin Club; Art Club; Girls' Choir; Motto, Mascot, and Flower Committee. Oh, I’m so thrilled” yes indeed, that's little Dottie with the golden brown curls and bewitching smile, expressing her feelings. She has been trying desperately hard to prove to us that the West—(i. e., Ohio) is not wild and woolly, and we regret that she did not start some years sooner. When the rising bell rings, and we hear a little pitter patter in the hall, we know that Dot is up, ready to inspire us with pep and frivolity for another day. Characteristic: Mellon's Baby Food. The grass stoops not, she treads on it so lightly. Wheaton College Dot” 22
