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

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.

THORNDYKE MACKAY Commissioner of Athletics Vice-President of the Senior Class Captain of the Basketball Team Baseball Captain Member of the Swimming Team Chosen Best All-around Athlete Thorndyke Mackay, woman-hater extraordinaire, athlete par excellance. and one of the best-liked fellows in the school, seems to have a profound dislike for doing things by halves or quarters. When he gets a haircut, there is only a smattering of fuzz left; when he lets his beard go, he looks like the worst hobo in seven jungles; and when it comes to bedeviling the smilingly seraphic teachers, there ' s none his peer. When a freshman, Thorndyke was a continual thorn in the side of his Seniors; (no pun intended) now that he is a Senior, he is the triple distilled essence of leniency and geniality. As his college. Thorny has chosen California, where his father is a professor (coincidence, no doubt), hlow- ever, he is still undecided as to his major. Coach Lyndon strongly advises it be basketball or baseball. 23
