' Qurple Tliatchm- 4 nel - IOHN SHARKEY LYONS Lawrence, f7Ia.r.racf1u.rel!J Iohn is the equation of two perfectly balanced, yet widely contrasting personalities. At times he is a dreamy, romantic and imaginative person who retires from the humdrum banalities of every day life and creates for himself a more delightful world of fancy. In the light of this it is not surprising that he possesses rare musical ability. He has no desire to display this talent, although playing with equal ease a Brahms sonata or the latest hit. Again there is the quick-witted student, with the courage of his convictions and frankness in expressing them. Jackir faultless attire and debonair mannerisms have won him the title, The Prince. The title fits him well, and for these and many other reasons We unite in calling him a prince among men. B. J. F., I, 2, 5, 4 Chairman Qf Lawrence Club Dance Nexuw Club Dranzafunr, 2 B. V. 171.

m-me cparehevlll IOHN MEAD LYNCH Somerville, l,ldJ'J'tZC!1LlJ'EffJ' It would he difficult to select a man more richly endowed with the masculine virtues than Pally. The mere mention of his name immediately evokes all the laudatory superlatives in 0ne's vocabulary. One instinctively associates with him Horace's Hrohur et aes triplexf' The gloomy grandstand of Braves Field and Harvard's concrete horseshoe have rocked time and again during the last four rollings of the great cart- wheel with cheers for Pallyfr performances. He is the smallest and most valiant of the gridiron luminaries of the College. Pally was not content, however, to clothe himself solely with the glory of the moleskins. He applied himself diligently to the studies, and handled in a creditable manner the confusing principles of Mechanics and the baffling notions of Ontology. We shall remember Pally for all these things, and for his loyalty and un- affected modesty. ZVexu.r Club, 4 B. V. JI.

lg? it e e Q91 W .ag L urnle a ther IAMES CUNNINGHAM MAHER Porlland, zllalne Two words, replete in meaning, and limitless in extension, epitomize the personality ofusmiling lim, -a natural gentleman. With but few excep- tions he is perhaps the most well-read fellow in the class, a veritable Croesus of the written word. But don't think for a moment that this is his only accomplishmentg Jim is an undeniable authority on bridge and plays it as scientifically as Hoyle. And after the strenuous mental demands required in the pursuit of elusive philosophical principles his accomplished mastery of the corridor pastimes is the more to be enthusiastically cultivated. With which observation Jim heartily agrees. But now that the parting of the ways is at hand it will he extremely disap- pointing to miss the witty and sanguine remarks which are so characteristic of Jim and which make him so endearing to his friends, but we bow to the inevitable and allow him to depart with all our best wishes for a happy and successful future.
