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.

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

One of our first rememberances of Elsie was when she impressively recited Laska before Athenians. That same year she proceeded to attain the summit of elocutionary possibilities by capturing first place in the Finals. But seeing her in a giggling mood, which is a common occurrence, one would hardly recognize the declaimer of humor and pathos. These two abilities and her persistency should make her a capable and entertaining nurse W Characteristic: Song sheet I , The only way to have afriend is to be one ESTHER STOKES SILVER ABERDEEN, MD.

But, however valiantly she may try, she doesn't succeed in her protestations of snobbishness: if you're minus a pin, paste, or any other necessity, Esther always turns up with the desired article and sound advice on its usage, tempered with a welcoming smile. Blest with Eve brothers and coming from Maryland, she is naturally well supplied with conversational ability.

Here we End a loyal supporter of Olney, and we cherish the fond hope that in the future she will be as loyal a Westtown Alumna. .She doesn't muddle her thoughts with lengthy dissertations, but this is not caused ,by lack of material, if we should gauge her ability by the length of time she spends studying. On the other hand, those living at the Bacon Cottage can testify to her delectable culinary products as forming an achievement in themselves.
