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'

Insignia (S); Basketball, Numerals (1), Insignia (S); Elocutionary Contest Finals (S). “Say, Charlie, got anything to eat?“ Charlie may be practicing on his violin but he repeats the well worn “Yea, look under the couch and you'll find some sandwiches, bananas, hot dogs, and- “ A true friend in need. 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. Haverford COMLY BIRD RICHIE 154 East Main St. Moorkstown, N. J.

Varsity “W“ (1), (S), Class Team (2). (1), (S), World Team (2), (S); Track Team (1), Class Team (1), (S). 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

“Percy' CHARLES FREDERICK TAYLOR 40 Forman St. Bradford, Pa. Entered Fall 1921 Brightonians (3), (2), Secretary (2); Rustic (2), (1), (S); Union (S); Radio (3). ( )» (1), (S); Latin Club (2), (1); French Club (2). When first you hear Percy’s voice, it reminds you of a little prairie flower; that is, of course, when he sings. He has been known to dance, and has even been seen going to Phila. Besides being a good actor and always being well dressed, Mabel has an uncommon propensity for collecting lamp shades. Characteristic: Lamp Shade. As good he out of the world, as out of fashion. Mont Alto Dan DANIEL D. TEST, JR. Moylan, Pa. Entered Fall 1922 Brightonians (2), President (2); Union (1), (S), Vice President (1); Par- liamentary (1), (S); French Club (2), (1), (S); Latin Club (2). (1), (S); Brown and White Board (1); Soccer Team (2). (1), (S). Insignia (2). (1), Varsity “W (S). Assistant Manager (1), Captain (S); Track Team, Insignia (2), Varsity “W“ (1), (S), Penn Relay Team (2), (1), (S); Student Council (1), (S), Secretary (1), President Student Body (S); Young Friends' Committee fS); Group Leader (1); Social Committee (S); Music Club (S); Choir (S) ; Elocutionary Contest Finals, First Place (S); Peace Essay. First Prize (S); Motto, Mascot, and Flower Committee (S). Dignified and commanding, oratorical and judicious, and here is Dan, our Student Body president and Penn relay runner. Excuse us, did we say dignified? Only when on the throne of justice, for nobody gets more enjoy- ment out of school life than Dannie. One cannot get his goat, nor is it easy to outspeak him, for he won first place in the elocution contest. Characteristic: Kiddie Kar. Ain't we got fun. Haverford MABEL SUSAN THOMAS Adena, Ohio Entered Fall 1924 Home Economics; Union; Comitia. Allow us to introduce you to our Home Economical expert. Mabel can turn a practical and helping hand at a good many things; in fact, most things. She is endowed with the power of silence when she has nothing to say; and occasionally she detaches herself from her studies, and turns to the lighter task of waiting on the crowds in the Tea Room. It is hard to get Mabel's goat, for her good temper always predominates. Characteristic: Memorandum book. The world is so full of a number of things, I am sure we should dll be as happy as things. 30 “Mabel
