Did you ever hear him recite, and send shivers up and down your back with the murder of Duncan by Macbeth? Many thanks, Charlie (not for the shivers). Characteristic: Basket of fruit. It is more blessed to give than to receive. Dartmouth GEORGE ASHBRIDGE RHOADS 123 E. Central Ave. Moorkstown, N. J. Entered Fall 1922 Latin Club (2), (1). (S); Brightonians (2); Radio (2). (1); Parliamentary (S); Union (S); Natural History Committee (S); Junior Varsity Soccer Team (1), Varsity Team (S), Varsity W“ (S); Assistant Track Manager (1); Third Rank Skating (S); Class Day Committee (1); Chairman Class Pennant Committee (1). One could do worse than be obliging and courteous. Courtesy is, figure atively speaking, George's middle name. George doesn't mind if we kid him about his form on the ice or on the track, because he knows that we know that he knows that we are just kidding him. George is a good hiker, but often takes his bicycle; at any rate, we make him walk on Natural History Day. Characteristic: Venus. Life is not so short but that there is always time for courtesy.

Our quiet and hard-working neighbor; he is carrying eight subjects this year, so we really can't blame him for minding his own business. He's the only one who can ski on both skis; very often he takes a vacation and has some fun. and some one said he was going to break the discus record. Soccer season is over, but we just want to remind you that he was one of our starriest players. Characteristic: Slide Rule. Let every man mind his own business. Antioch College “Richie’ 28

“Frankie FRANCES HARTSELL OSBORNE Pleasant Garden, N. C. Entered Fall 1923 Class Day Committee (1); Union (1), (S), Secretary (S); Comitia (1), (S), Treasurer (S); Home Economics (S), President (S); Art Club (S); Natural History Committee (S); Proctor Committee (S); Chairman Girls’ Choir (1), (S); Gym Squad Leader (S); Monitor 7:15 Collection (1); Music Club (S); Characteristic Committee (S); Manager Tea Room (S). Frankie is as nonchalant and complacent when you arc trying to fuss her as she is when she is working or studying. Her congenial nature and affability always make you feel at ease. There are not many in school busier than she, nor with as much musical talent; for we cede place to her when it comes to tickling the ivories, which she does remarkably well in such places as the community house or at “sings. Characteristic: Cement machine (mixes well). Carolina sun. I'm lonesome. Guilford College “SlKl ALVIN SCOTT PARKER 311 Hamilton St. High Point, N. C. Entered Fall 1923 Radio (1); Parliamentary (S); Union (S). Scott (Siki) Parker the original battling Siki (pronounced sicky). His pugilistic propensities caused him to join forces with the Democratic party, and never was North Carolina more ably represented. His talent as “rook champion has never been contested; and we know that his party will hang together, if he manages it with the same skill that he does his ten cards. Characteristic: Mule (Democratic). Thanl( Cod. I—I also—am a Democrat. Guilford College DAVID SANS BROWN PENNOCK, JR. 1630 Allegheny Ave. Philadelphia, Pa. Entered Fall 1919 Ataraxa (4); Radio (3), (2). (S); Latin Club (3), (2); Second Soccer Team (1), (S), Numerals (1), Insignia (S), Class Team (1); Brown and White Board, Associate Editor (1), (S); Year Book Board, Athletic Editor (S); Swimming Team (S); Rustic (S); Union (1), (S); Parliamentary (S). There are reports about that Davy used to be a good fighter and a frequent one, but the exuberance of youth has waned, and he now tends strictly to business (his own, too, by the way). In addition to the fact that he plays soccer, writes for the Brown and White, and is Athletic Editor of this book, Davy is a stamp collector, and we know that that requires perseverance, energy, and perception. Characteristic: Telescope. Slowly provoked, he easily forgives. Penn. State 7 Davie”

“Scat' MARY MORRIS SCATTERGOOD Villa Nova, Pa. Entered Fall 1923 Comitia (1), (S): Latin Club (1), (S); French Club (1), (S); Proctor Com' mittec (1); Union (1), (S). Secretary (S); Proctor 7:15 Collection (1); Student Council (1); Northfield Leader (S); Class Day Committee (1); Delta (S); Member of Executive (S); Manager of Swimming (S), Assistant Manager (1), Numerals (1), Varsity “W (1); Varsity Hockey Team (S), Insignia (S), Class Team (S), (1); Basketball Team (1), Insignia (1), Class Team (1), Assist- ant Manager of Tennis (1); Year Book Board (S), Athletic Editor (S); Char' actcristic Committee (S). Did you ever try to argue any point whatsoever with Scat when she didn't want to be convinced? You might just as well try to tell her she can’t swim. She equally excels in other sports, and also provides the finishing touches for our school life and committees by presenting us with her pleasing manner and helpful suggestions. Our social functions require a loquacious, and yet reserved debutante, and here Scat is in her clement. Characteristic: Red Bathing Suit. Society is the spice of life. Connecticut College “Sparky HELEN BERTHA SHARPLESS Toughkenamon, Pa. Entered Fall 1923 Treasurer of Class (1); Home Economics (1), (S); Class Hockey Team (1); Chairman Desk Committee (1); Monitor 7:15 Collection (1); Comitia (S), Clerk (S); Proctor Committee (S); French Club (S); Art Club (S); Union (S); Motto, Mascot, and Flower Committee (S). That innocent look of kindly beneficence and jollity strikes the key note of Helen’s character, and we neither wish, nor are able, to change it. Her credulity in human nature has sometimes relentlessly allowed her to be stuffed. and yet her amiable nature never permits her to resent our attacks. It is whispered among the boys that Helen sets the fashion in ribbons to snitch. Characteristic: Age of Innocence. Let gentleness my strong enforcement be. Pierce Business School ANNA HAINES SHARPLESS Toughkenamon, Pa. Entered Fall 1923 Union (S); Home Economics (1), (S); Class Day Committee (1); Gym Squad Leader (1); Class Hockey Team (S); Comitia (1), (S). “Please, dear, just a moment, does this ribbon match my dress? Experi- ence has taught us that this is Anna, one hour ahead of time, getting ready for dinner. She really doesn’t go to the nursery as often as we say she does, but she spends a lot of her time there, nevertheless. She is blessed with that faculty of not working superfluously hard and yet getting out on grades; all in all, we have found her a good sport and a jolly companion. Characteristic: Pogo Stick. Mildest manners and the gentlest heart. Boston School of Physical Education 29 “Anna'
