Til 1 1 CALL O PAN OF l».T4 Of all the girls that are so smart There’s none like pretty Sally. Arlliiir l i »|M»r Smilli Art Entered Blake 1930 Harvard Always a star performer in Physics and Mathematics, Art experiences some difficulty in Vergil when he encounters a few of the longer monikers of Aeneas' companions. But with these toils passed he is a free soul for the day, even having enough time to spare for that after lunch bridge game at which he excels, despite the machinations of Harrison to garner every ace in the pack. Smittv is the one member of the class who has done right by his girl. For y’ars and yars he has been true to the one and only, and no amount of opposition on the part of others has discouraged his ar- dor. Night after night during vacation is his modestly colored car (the one that Pence found to be of highly inflammable material) parked before her house. After muttering throaty gutterals for years in the choir. Art was this spring cast as the Mikado in the operetta. Long mustaches and all. his performance was so excellent as to merit recognition in the “Golfer. As extemporaneous speaker he gave Joe Clifford a real battle in the Thorpe Cup Contest, finally taking second place. We wish the owner of the best groomed head of hair in the Senior Class the greatest of fortune at Harvard. Page Twenty-nine

Till-: ( AM. «• l A. OF IO.T I Even Hunt, if asked, would grudgingly admit that Ted studies as much as half the senior class combined. Pages of Latin vocabulary delivered by this lad in a monotone have interrupted more than one of the Special Help discussions on Wine, Women, and What is Wrong with Blake. This avid student has been known to forego bridge games to memorize the biography of Blaine, and when he staggers down that hall with glazed eyes it’s a lossup whether he is reciting Hamlet or Physics formulae. Ted’s composure has deserted him but twice: Once in the St. Paul debate when he thundered loudly enough to arouse Pierson and Atkinson in the last row of My life is on • timid horrid grind.' Edwin Fifilior Hinder Monk Kntered Blake 1922 Minnesota the balcony; and once when Cullen suggested that he be the recipient of a few swats from the Senior paddle. The wrathful figure of Mr. Kinger fairly bristled indignation, and Jim retreated ignomini-ously. The high spot of Ted’s three year career on the swimming team was his capture of first place in the breaststroke this year at the state meet. For two years he has been a member of the golf team, tramping the greens of The Country Club and Minikahda under the tutelage of Mr. Glenn. Two performances in the Blake plays and the manipulation of the spotlight at the “Mikado” helped Ted perfect his dramatic ability. Page Twenty-eight

Till: ( AI.L O l A OF l»» l Two members of the graduating class were not often to Ire found in the well known cave. One was Keeler, who spent most of his time in the Publications Room plaguing Mr. Bosunko next door and quieting the gibbering Silverthorne. And the other was Tom Wagner. Old W9KVI or whatever his number was as an amateur radio operator has his own closet in the basement of the school. Here only the initiated entered, and from here he sent messages to the waiting world. Tom's know ledge of radio and of electricity in general has come in handy on more than one occasion. When the Senior Room radio refused to function. Wag “Secret and self contained and solitary as an oyster.” Thomas Italliff Wagner Wag Entered Blake 1927 Minnesota alone could coax dulcet strains from the battered wreck. And when you were out in the audience watching the Blake Plays doubtfully run their course. I'll bet you never knew it was none other than Tom who was working all those funny colored lights. Wag's phlegmatic composure refuses to be ruffled by even the rarest antics of the History prexy. Watching Cullen and Faegre gargle their food in prodigious mouthfuls across the table, he sedately eats his own fare of the modest portions. He is the one member of the class possessed of the dignity worthy of his high position. Page Thirty
