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

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

TED MUNROE Editor-in-Chief of Annual Commissioner of Finance of Student Body C. S. F. Secretary Swimming Team Captain Letterman in Baseball Pi Lambda Kappa (honorary chemistry award) Of all the Seniors, Ted Munroe is the easiest to write. The simple explanation is that he has been by far the busiest. (Also the writer has to get a good word in for his editor!) An inveterate canvas sailor, Ted could launch his ship as well as a tirade against power yachtsmen, at the drop of a hat. Recently his father bought a power launch, and this tack had to be abandoned. Ted is a crack swimmer, and one of the high points of his career took place when he conquered the National Junior champion in his own pool, thus bearding the lion in his den. Down at Balboa, the old salts sit around on the quay and talk of the day Ted will go North to Stan- ford to major in engineering. They also speak of his numerous scholastic achievements while at Flintridge, and they speak the truth when they say that the future is indeed pleasant for Ted Munroe. 25
