WALTER WALTERS On the Basketball Squad Member of the Swimming Team Baseball Team Member When Walter Walters leaves the school, he will leave a real gap in the student body. hHowever, in spite of his cherubic appearance, Walter is a juggernaut on the gridiron. In the first of his six years at Flintridge he attained a reputation for sling-shot marksmanship which any of the present-day members of the grade-school might well envy. In spite of this early attainment, Wally is now quite peace-loving. Indeed, his present ambition is to be a lawyer, and, in order to further that ambition, he plans to enter Pomona in the Fall. The milk-man, clattering through the streets in the rosy dawn, or the usual revelers, returning from a night of merryment, have often seen the strange sight of Wally, complacently roaring through the quiet streets of suburban Glendale, his faithful blue Chevy headed for school loaded to the ' gunals ' with just himself. But stay, he is muttering! The reason? His secret ambition is to be a lexicographer. C? : -» y= y r W

DONALD BULLOCK Member of the Hoi Polloi Staff Junior Baseball Manager President of the Flintridge Radio Club Senior Manager Swimming Team The first day Don Bullock came to Flintridge, the instructor who asked him his birthplace had to caution him about impertinance when he received his answer. China, said the redoubtable Bullock, and he was right. (hHowever, Don does not use beads in his capacity as manager of the school store.) Lissner looks forward to the day when Don will go to the University of Cali- fornia, and then he will be free from Don ' s inquisition. Just to substantiate Lissner ' s claim about Don ' s bullying, we submit the fact that he was called for roughing up a Junior in the annual Junior-Senior basketball game. Just a big bully, that ' s all! Don shines in engineering, and his dearest ambi- tion is to be a radio engineer. While studying for this end at Cal., Don hopes to become coxswain of the varsity crew. 28

We, of the Class of Forty, hereby publish and declare in the true spirit ot generosity the following gifts: To our cherished Alma Mater we leave our loyalty, devotion, and gratitude for the gifts of mind and soul that she has so carefully developed in us. Dan Frost leaves — with the fond hope that his gifts will be well used — to Dick Munroe the most remarkable ability he has of talking the teacher out of the ' gift ' grades that his pull with the faculty was about to get him; and to Jim Gamble he wills his faultless dancing steps. Upon his graduation, Don Baxter regrets exceedingly that he must give up his title of The Speed King of Flintridge ; but he has at different times been heard saying he wished Frankie had a chance, so it only seems natural that he donate his title to one Mr. Pope. Walter Walters once said, I get my money ' s worth, for I haven ' t been absent from school even one day in six years. In all fairness to the Juniors, he wishes to make Bob Hampton the recipient of this generous Scotch gift. To prove that he isn ' t always Scotch, he wishes to give Brady Johnson his unexcelled quality of penmanship. ' Tis rumored that Don Bullock once talked for forty days and forty nights without pause for even so long as a second; and, as we think to will such a gift to any one person preposterous, we have advised him to halve it up and let Charley Markham and Earl Weaver take whichever half they want, and thus it is bequeathed. Upon quite a little adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying, it was dis- covered that Thorndyke Mackay broke over twenty five windows and received about five hundred demerits in the short span of around one thousand days. He did not have the heart to will all this trouble directly to any one person, so he said the Senior Class could dispose of it as they wished. After much deliberation Mr. Benjamin Earl was made the due recipient in order to falsify his boast that no Senior could bother him. Tom Melin has agreed to will to Reid Allen his enviable ability to grow side- burns plus his conversational quips. And don ' t sell these gifts short, for each and every Junior begged and begged Tom to give him these gifts. Mac Lawrence one day had a change of mind and this is what happened. He willed to Ogden Kellogg his ability to play badminton, ice skate, and even to jitter- bug . My, my, what a versatile lad this Kellogg boy is going to be! To quote Doug Goodan; The thing I hate most is to see a fine student and good athlete who allows himself to become enchanted by feminine pulchritude. This will soon lead to his ruination. Therefore Doug wills to John Eliei his peculiar trait of never letting a feminine character into his life. Since Ted Munroe said that he just couldn ' t see anything in himself that any one else might want, he told the Seniors that he preferred to let the Juniors will themselves any quality they saw worth taking. Upon further persuasion, however, he consented to give, in addition to the above, his persistency to Jim Gamble. 30
