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.

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. Characteristic: Billikin ' A clear conscience is a sure card ' MARIE TI-IERESE BREDE. IZ6 Manheim Street PHILADELPHIA, PA. Entered Spring I92I . Alhenians C2I,' Latin Club CID, ISM French Club CII. 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

Brud, the lanky member of Bump and Brud, lnc., didn't get here until this year, which wasn't very nice of him, considering he just had to walk over from West Chester. Brud's virtues are numerous, but he has one besetting sin, namely, a weakness for pictures of West Chester co-eds. But this is mitigated by the fact that many a Senior owes a feed to Brud's generosity, although to look at him you'd never guess he ate anything. Characteristic: Stilts And thou ar! long and lank ALFRED DALLETT, ja. C1-IEYNEY, PA. Entered Fall 1925 Parliamentary: Rusiicg Union: Fellowship of Youth for Peace, Treasurer. Bump, also frequently addressed as, Hey, Snake! has only been with us a short time, but already we have come to recognize a dia- mond in the rough. Bump is a. good friend and lots of fun, always leak- ing good humor. His chief hobby is driving a Ford, and he also has a weakness for negro preaching at Cheyney. He and his inseparable companion, Brud, are the original prototypes of Mutt and jeff, but don't let the secret out ' Characteristic: Freight car Cherchcz Ia femme ' MABEL BARTRAM EVANS MARLTON, N. j.

Ah yes, but if wishes were actresses, Mabel would be a slim and fascinating Spanish girl basking in the fame of Hollywood Hall. I-ler penchant for dramatics, however, doesn't stop her from being a prop on the reserve hockey team or hostess at the Bacon Cottage. She lends her abilities cheer- fully to many committees. Good practice for Pierce and business. Characteristic: Powderpuff She will succeed, for she believes all she says Pierce Business College 22
