SENIOR CLASS VOTING Who prefers football as his favorite sport, is undecided whether to spend a quarter to see Clark Gable or Franchot Tone, is the same way about Claudette Colbert and Janet Gaynor, and would rather wear out his shoes to Glen Gray's music than any other orchestra? The answer to these and many other ques- tions is: The B. F. A. Senior. As a result of the Senior Poll Tuesday, April 28, We now have a composite picture of the aver- age B. F. A. Senior. Some rather startling and entertaining answers were found when the notes were gone over. But enough of this, here we go into the thick of the ballots. Probably the most overwhelming and yet not unexpected victories went to Phil David and Peggy Williams with four first places apiece. Phil took the vote of most pleasing personal- ity by storm, then the most popular boy with Dick Brush a close second, next the most cheerful boy with Dick Brush second, and finished the day by taking first as best athlete with Bud Blanchette on his heels. Peggy was chosen most popular girl by the highest total of the day, 47 out of 60 votesg again in the most pleasing personality she won with Alice Vail as a second, as best athlete, girl, she had no competition, and won the best dancer hands down or should we say without moving a foot. The prize for conversational abundance as most talkative boy goes to Arnold Deslauriers with Lawrence Simpson runner up. The palm for most talkative girl went to Charlene Royce with Ruth Arkinson taking sec- ond honors. On the question of quietest boy, Glendon Palmer and bflerrill Ladd ran one and two. Quietest girl was adjudged to be Martha Hall with Dorothy Mooney also holding her tongue. As most exuberant femme or cheerful girl, Mona Larry smiles on all followed by Charlene Royce and Peggy Williams in a dead heat. When it came to best worker among the boys there was little doubt that Dick Brush de- served this honor with Phil David and Lawrence Simpson in second place. As best worker Qgirlj Wilma Wells, Alice Vail and Janice Spear were I, 2, 3. Arnold Deslauriers and Edgar Miller are best dancers one and two. This year as an added feature questions of current interest were also asked the seniors. Per- haps with a little more thought and time some answers would be changed but here is your aver- age seniorls everyday tastes in condensed form. To no one's surprise the favorite sport is football with basketball and tennis, second and third. One prankster submitted Phil David's name as favorite sport. ln the question of movie actors the average Senior had rather spend two bits to see either Clark Gable or Franchot Tone. Robert Taylor, coming heart throb, managed third place. An- swers to this question ranged from James Cagney through VV. C. Fields, Ken Maynard, Boris Not a cough in a Karloff to the patron of spinach growers, Popeye. VVhen it comes to movie actresses the seniors pass up jean Harlow, Joan Crawford and Mae VVest and cannot choose between Claudette Col- bert and Janet Gaynor. VVhen it comes to orchestras the seniors had rather be stepped on while dancing to Glen Gray's orchestra, with suave Ray Noble and smooth Guy Lombardo second and third. Reading matter ranged from high priced l'isquire through Snappy Stories. 'fVVild VVest Weekly, Spider, to f'National Geographic. But American lylagazineu won easily with Es- quire and Collierls,' tied in second place. l10l L - .
