DOUGLAS GOODAN Senior Class President Member of the Swimmin3 Team Senior Manager of Basketball Douglas Goodan, the capacious caliph of the Senior Class, has only one love ... his ranch. Minor fancies are his horns and a variety of automobiles. Doug has been at Flintridge the better part of two years, and in this time those in the know report that his list of speeches is negligible. Probably the verbose boys of the Senior class elected him to the highest position they have to offer out of pure admiration for his sobriety. A good student, Doug is Stanford bound. He is not quite sure what he will major in yet. His ambition, and indeed the ambition of all of us, is to be a Phi Beta Kappa. Doug is seventeen, slightly younger than many ..m K of his class-mates. Possibly the only basketball man- ager to get through the season without complaining about something or other, Doug has set an enviable record for future managers to follow.

The attainment of the final year, toward which our efforts here have been constantly directed, brings forward the realization that our leaving entails both a sense of jubilance and also a good measure of regret. It is jubilant because of the vision these years of preparation have given us to anticipate more fully what lies ahead; it is a regret because of the reluctance with which we must give up many pleasant associations and experiences participated in as Freshmen, as Sophomores, as Juniors, and finally as Seniors, that are to be no more. There comes to the mind of every Senior as these days come to a close, a retrospection of the events that have lead us to our goal — an endeavor to assay our course, to synthesize the most worth while things that may stand out as beacon lights throughout our future endeavors; and they may be found in the ideals that characterize Flintridge: honesty, discipline, loyalty, kinship with student and teacher, and through- out everything a good sense of humor as a balancer of our ills and proficiencies. This is the school tradition and the inescapable sense that each member is a part of it. At no time is the privilege more deeply felt than on becoming a Senior. At no time is the desire more sincerely sought to have that tradition carried on by each class as it begins, on through until the last rites are said, than at the point of fare- well — to this the die is cast — farewell. • — Douglas Goodan 20

MAC LAWRENCE Business Manager of Annual Secretary of the Senior Class Pi Lambda Kappa (honorary chemistry award) C. S. F. member Baseball letterman Hoi Polloi reporter Macllvane Lawrence is liable to dispatch with alacrity the first unfortunate who fails to call him just plain Mac. In his many years at Flintridge Mac has only recently shown an interest in matters concerning the outside world. Now suddenly he shows great interest in conditions in the Mid-west, even going to such an extent as to carry on postal communication with people in Chicago. Whenever Jimmy Lunceford, Count Basie, or a host of other favorite bands of his come to town, Mac hurries to see them. - e is an inveterate swingster; however, unlike so many of his brethren, he never makes his love of jive obtrusive. On the contrary, anyone looking at Mac would see only a studious young man, interested in going to Pomona. A prominent Senior because of his intellect and not his size, Mac is a C. S. F. member and also a star of Flintridge ' s successful chemistry team. Possibly the future will reveal him as a fine chemist, but now all one hears is: I gotta letter. 22
