College: University of Maine. Here he is, gentle readers-the original inspiration of Kipling's mas- terpiece called Boots There has never been any doubt in our minds that Rudyard must have had a vision of Emery slogging', into senior English when he wrote the immort-al Boots Howsoever, we know plenty of girls who are willing to shout themselves hoarse cheering for him at a football game, and we don't wonder. He is a fullback to be proud of. x HARRY DODGE xbktfi' Course: Scientific Activities: Cadets 1, 2: Band 3, 43 Orchestra 2, 3, 4, Breccia Board: Football 43 Class Treasurer 4.

'M 'M WINNIFRED DYER I:Wi1l1Zi6,J Course : Commercial Activities: Glee Club 4. Isn't Winnie a fine-looking child? Her sleek, glossy brown hair, her twinkling brown eyes, her quiet manners, and school-girl complexion make us envious. She studies, too, we say that she'l1 make a good old-fashioned wife in the good old-fashioned way. MILDRED ELGEE Course: College Hobby: Reading. , We don't know Mildred well enough yet to dig up and divulge to the world all the scandals of her past life, because she arrived only last fall from Limestone and has been so quiet as to escape even the lynx-eyed grind committee. We like your quiet studiousness, Mildred, and will write you a good recommendation any time. - if HAROLD A. ERICKSEN Blo1zdy i Course: Scientihc Activities: Football 2, 3, 4, 55 Basketball 1, 2, 3: Cadets 1, 2, 3, 43 Major in the Cadets, D Club 5. Blondy is the fellow who held down the center job on the football team, and was picked as the best school center in the State. The only thing he needed was a big guard on either side to keep his square head from getting chipped: as he had these, he was safe. For four years he was also a Cahoot -and rose from potato-peeling private to gor- geously-garbed generalissimo of the gang with imitation ten-cent pieces on his shoulders. Af? .

p un THE AMETHYST ROBERT L. GETCHELL Course : General If the shade of the late Mr. Hoegg could come to earth and wander about that portion of Portland known as Woodfords, he would make friends with Mr. Robert Getchell, that debonair dandy who devotes his days Cand nightsb to the su port of the multiple industries enshrined in Hoegg Hall. As far as Robert is concerned, Omnes Deering in tres partes divisa est : the dance hall, the pool room and the high school, and the greatest of these is-Oh, Robert, are you sure you didn't study too hard to pass that Algebra four years ago? CHARLES H. GUPTILL ,ff frGuppyu ELL ' Course: Classical Activities: Cadets lg Sophomore-Junior Debate 2: Varsity Debating 3, 4g Pres. Debating Assn. 43 Latin Play 4: French Play 45 Breccia Board 4: Prize Speaking 43 Lyford Prize Speaking: Cumberland County Prize Speakingg Class Play, National Honor Society. Hobby: Talking. Ambition: To talk. College: Bates. Hail to our Salutatorian and cherubic, silver-tongued boy orator! If there's one thing Guppy can do, it's talk. Nature didn't make him very big, but she did give him a tongue, and we'll say he knows how to Wag it. He is noted for his humorous sarcasm: it is even said that not Arad himself can surpass the boy when it comes to making wise cracks. Sometime in his high school career Charles acquired the gentle art of blushing a little trick which has made him the envy of all the senior girls. As to why he should blush-well-are you really sure you can tell them apart, Guppy? GERTRUDE HAM Course: Commercial Activities: Basketball 49 Hiking Club 2 3: Track 25 Winter Carni- val 3: Student Service: Asst. Mgr. Class Play 4. Hobby: Outdoor sports. Ambition: To be a nurse. Sift together a quart of unseliishness, a spoonful of generosity and a dash of wit. Add a cup of friendliness, a piece of helpfulness the size of a basketball, flavor with a smile. Just before serving cover the whole with a generous sprinkling of sunny disposition-and the result will be Gertrude. MARIAN HAMMOND Dimples Course: General Actixiifiesa Student Service 45 Geology 45 Dramatic Club 43 Class ay . Ambition: To be a high school teacher. Marian is one of our best-informed geologists. Those who went on the Bar,Harbor trip know what an enthusiastic mountain climber she is--provided, ofcourse, she has someone to carry her burdens. D Though Marian convincingly acted the part of a spinster in the charming little comedy, All on Valentine's Day,'f we seriously doubt her intention of ever becoming one,-the evidence is all against her. WALTER HANSON Course: Scientific Activities: Track 43 French Play 4. Hobby: Gunning or swimming. Ambition: Civil engineer. College: Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Walter is a young man.of many eccentricities, the most notable of which is his unusual originality in translating French. He will long be .remembered asgthat member of.the French class who sent. the reci- tation into convulsions. While taking the hero's part in the climax of a thrilling and romantic French .play, he ardently informed the heroine that he loved her, adored her, and VENQEERED her. But French is not the only study in which Walter shines: he is a math. shark, a public speaker, and,.as he? demonstrated in the French plays, a come- dian of .no mean ability. For one with such varied faculties as these we predict an illustrious future.
