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.

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

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

Johnny matriculated at Westtown when long pants seemed as far off as graduation, and vice-versa. He is manager of tennis and wields a mighty racquet. johnny, being of an independent nature. deserted Westtown last year to gain a little worldy experience, so we had the pleasure of welcoming him into our ranks. He made a strong defense , , at halfback for the Varsity, is an expert on railroading, and occasion- ally keeps company with the telephone in the office or reads articles on the Sahara Desert.

When Beck hrst put in her appearance at Westtown who would have thought that she would have become Editor-ln-Chief of the Brown and White and valedictorian of the class, for she doesn t exactly blow her own trumpet, but she does have a bugle which peals forth at startling and unexpected intervals. lf she sets out to do a'th1ng. there's no use trying to dissuade her from her purpose, especially lf she happens to be imitating the high notes of some opera singer. One of her chief hobbies is being out doors, and the lofty tops of the pine trees along South Walk seem to have a certain fascination for her. Characteristic: Brass tack l would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myseb' than to be crowded on a velvet cushion Grinnell College THOMAS PENNINGTON CONARD 1 55 E. Stewart Avenue LANSDOWNE, PA. Entered Fall l923 Brightonians CZD: Assistant Manager Track CID, Manager CSD: Parliamentary CSD: Union CID, CSD: junior Varsity Soccer Team CSD, Insignia CSD. Tom is a math shark primarily, and a gymnast secondarily, or vice-versa. Whether geometry and trig come before the high bar in this case does not make much difference, but if there happens to be an extra hard algebra assignment, Tom's room is likely to have visitors. He held down left-outside on the second soccer team, and about the same time was busy making out this spring's track schedule. Inci- dentally, he comes in strong for the high jump.
