Whenever there's a big show, there must be innumerable people behind the scenes whose small deeds faithfully performed have made the performance possible, and Phebe has filled this niche for our class. Many a time has she saved a dress from complete destruction by removing an erstwhile determined inkspot. Also the botany class can bear testimony to her unassuming dependability in sap-collecting season. The same characteristics have given Phebe a staunch position among the Hockey Reserves.

CID. Manolo arrived at Westtown six years ago from Cuba, and we have been laughing ever since. Life is too fleeting for seriousness: therefore he kids Mary Fitz-Patrick to exasperation and the girls to giggles. Joli has a keen eye for business. l-le has a flourishing trade in crackers, has Filled the treasurer's position in nearly every club, and acts as Circulation Manager for these volumes. Manolo has a throne in shop, and was once a most eflicient boss of the Local Chapter of Convicts. Characteristic: Monkey A fool cannot be an actor, tho an actor may act a fool's part I9 MARLTON, N.

If you would like to know an optimist, just strike up an aquaint- ance with Barton. Dropping wise remarks in her wake she wanders along to classes five minutes late without a cloud in her sky. But that's not all. Should you want executive ability, you'll find she's just your person: as examples of this propensity you see Fellowship and North- field. Barton has never been weighed in the balance and found Mt. Holyoke T 1

Sam's mighty left-hook saved many a game for our undefeated soccer team. It would almost seem from his record that Sam is a super-athlete and naught else. For a proof of the opposite theory, behold Sam seated on the high seat of justice garbed in the robes of President of the Student Body. We hear tell that Sam is a graceful dancer in foreign fields, and we have but to watch him on the ice to believe the tale. Characteristic: Toy car Ability involves responsibility Penn State HELEN BACON FALLSINGTON, PA. Entered Fall l923 Atlienians CZD: Latin Club C2D, CID: Home Economics CSD: Union CSD, Secretary CSD. Helen is not often chaotic, but she is sometimes quite audible, expecially if she has occasion to express her opinion. Her favorite pastime is reading, perhaps, for English. At other times she is quite apt to be writing letters or marshaling a sturdygroup of young charges to Fifth-day meeting. Everybody and every group likes to see Helen, for her gentle smile and artless manner act as a soft summer zephyr. Characteristic: Sugar lump I f you would be loved, love and be lovable RICHARD COLLINS BAKER HAVERFORD, PA. Entered Fall l9Z4 Parliamentary CSD: Latin Club CSD: junior Varsity Soccer Team CSD, Insignia CSD, Class Soccer Team CSD. . Richard is one of the shining lights of our class. He ariseth while it is yet dark, and once in awhile we see a faint glow after lights. He studies Physics, Latin, and German, and he studies them mighty hard. The two things he is most noted for are a steady left-hook in soccer season and a sure alarm clock for the Senior section. just remember, Dick, Nothing is denied to well-directed labor.

If you really want to see what a fellow can do in one short year, just look at the above list. I-Iowever. as he has charge of this book. we really can't say all about him that we would like to. FrankIin's con- versation is noted for its quantity rather than its quality, but at that it's as sensible as that of the most of us. Of course, there is no personal reference, but some people can do easily and well what others can't do at all. But as a parting warning beware the fury of a patient man. Characteristic: Cheshire cat E'en tho vanquished, he could argue still Haverford EDITH MARGARET BRACKIN COLERAIN, OI-IIo Entered Fall I925 Union. Among this year's delegation from Barnesville, Mike is one of the bright spots. When she isn't performing some of her Household Man- agement duties. she is pretty sure to be found in the vicinity of her wife, Pat. Among other accomplishments, Edith managed to go a whole semester without getting a discredit. Perhaps her residence at the Bacon Cottage for awhile accounts for this attainment.

CSD, President CSL Union fSj,' Brown and White Board KSU, Associate Editor,- Treasure Seekers KSJ. Marie, la petite Elle, trips to classes with a smile for everyone. We sometimes wonder if they're all for us. She eloquently presides over Le Cercle Francais, and adds her vivacity to the programs as zestfully as she attends Senior Teas. What a goodly wealth of con- versation is stored up in her small body-just listen in at table some- time. Characteristic: Mosquito Flirtation is a circulating library in which we seldom ask twice for the same volume 20
