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

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

DAN FROST Student Body President Annual Staff member Hoi Polloi staff C. S. F. President Tennis Team Captain Hunting for Daniel Frost? Vou can usually find him hiding behind a giant soda in the Pig ' n Whistle, for Mr. Frost is always busy with the dizzy round of social affairs which consume the time of similar bon vivants and boulivardiers. Everyone agrees that it was with his frivolous outlook on life in mind that Dan chose Yale as his college. However, this is only one side to the duplex character of the Great Khan of Flintridge. He is also declared to be, by hitherto reliable sources, a good student. He has been a member of the C. S. F. every semester since entering the school. This scholastic ability should help him to become a lawyer, as this is his ambition. However, if you can show him a place and an occupation where he can make a maximum of money with a minimum of effort, he will be exceedingly grateful. 24
