Steering the Student Body and Cwhat's worseD the Student Coun- cil are probably the biggest things Betty has done done since she has been at Westtown. But a look at her list of accomplishments will show what an important part she has played for '26 and her Alma Mater. ln spite of her many duties, Betty always has time for courtesy and a kind word for everybody Characteristic: Scales of justice The soul of conversation is sympathy Skidmore College HOWARD WILLIAM ORTLIP w CHELTENHAM, PA. Entered Fall I922 Brightonians C3D, CZD: Rustic CID, CSD: Parliamentary CSD: Union CSD: Latin Club CSD: Varsity Soccer Team CSD, Varsity W CSD, Class Soccer Team CSD: Supreme Court CSD. We have much to thank Cowslip for, but we would have more if he would forget some of his pet expressions, such as, l'm not as green as l'm cabbage-looking. Butwe forget such lapseswhen we watch him playing soccer-he is in his element there. Howard occasionally has proclivities towards evading some of the well-established rules of this place, but he seems clever enough to get away with it, so it should not worry us.

CSD There's a land l know where the poppies grow, that is Paradise to me! That's Mac and her uke, showing loyalty to her native State. ln spite of her stern rule as a member of the Proctor Committee, Mac has won innumerable friends because of her ready and sympathetic giggle and her generally good-natured outlook on life. Although Mac comes from the land of golden sunshine, the East would be more than glad to claim her. Characteristic: California orange Oh, I am stabbed with laughter Whittier 28

How better can we describe our lone representative from Washington, Pa.? After four rushing seminary years, she embarked for Westtown before entering the loftier heights of college. But activity being born within her, she cannot resist the white lights of West Chester. Lib is a comforting person: she always doesn't think so, too when you clon't. But that doesn't mean that she lacks independence, for when she's in a musical frame of mind. she's apt to remain that way. Characteristic: Brownie's cap Let the world slide, let the world go: A fig for care and a fig for woe THOMAS POULTNEY ELLICOTT MATTHEWS 216 Lee Avenue YONKERS, N. Y. Entered Fall l9l9 Brightonians C3D, C2D: Rustic C3D: Radio C3D, C2D: Parliamentary CSD: Union CID, CSD: French Club CID: Latin Club C3D, C2D, CI-D: Improve- ment in Scholarship Prize C3D: Second Rank Skating CSD: ' Brown and White Board, Associate Editor CID, Assistant Editor CSD,' Assistant Tennis Manager CID. Poultney retires to his room whenever he gets a chance. Some- times we think he studies, at other times he is working to uphold his reading championship or following some correspondence course, for Poultney is ever at work. He says he'll be a doctor, but we think that from the way he answers Master Carroll's demands on the classical department during the study of Burke, that we may soon read prodi- gies of literature which have rolled from his pen. Characteristic: Soup ladle Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all Columbia CLARK NORTON MAXF I ELD 226 West Johnson Street GERMANTOWN, PA.

If you value your life, never address Clark Norton Maxfielcl as Snortin, unless you do it over the telephone, for he enjoys a rough- house. Norton, who has the job of keeping the Brown and White out of debt, developed into a good basketball forward this winter. He also holds two second places in our class-second-best cook and second- best trapper, in both of which attainments his beloved wife is his only superior. Characteristic: Slide rule Smile with an intent to do mischief Haverford 2 7

IT- 5 u Jw--T Ig ,H ,---1 W' SCHOOL sg? Lx X J Xl! BEULA LYDIA PATTEN BARNESVILLE., OHIO Entered Fall 1925 Union: Treasure Seekers. Descending from the throne of Olney's Student Body President, Pat crossed the Alleghanies and entered the rank and file of Westtown students to become a member of the Class of '26. Since her arrival we have discovered a ton of mischief hidden under that self-possessed exterior. Any outdoor sport is good enough for Pat. She's not proud: she'll tackle anything: and if we want a ripping good time, we'll go along with her. Characteristic: Olney pennant There is nothing like fun, is there? , I FRANCES PERRY WESTERLY, R. I. Entered Fall l925 French Club: Latin Club: Union: Natural History Committee: Treasure Seekers: Choir: Fellowship Executive Committee. 9-I6-25 there arrived on Westtown's station platform a second Commodore Perry, commonly called Fran, under one arm a plle of books. mostly Virgils, and in her free hand she grasped skiis and a ski pole. These last instruments have been potent factors in the origin of that well-indorsed sport at Westtown. ln her short stay here she has contracted the malicious habit of getting out on grades. But she isn't always digging: witness the call-downs. Characteristic: Latin grammar Who goeth a borrowing. Goeth a sorrowing. S . h C H mit o ege THOMAS GARRETT RHOADS MOORESTOWN, N. J.

Tom is one of the pillars of '26-not noisy but dependable. He arranges for the First-day evening speakers and has grown sage listen- ing to their counsel. Tom played a season at left-outside on the soccer team and earned his Varsity W at it. Nevertheless, he has an occasional outburst which expresses itself as ordinary playfulness or on very rare occasions in the form of a misdemeanor.
