Sophomores T is a regrettable fact that this picture does not do justice to the Sopho- more class. We offer this not as an apology, but simply to let you know, dear reader, that we are better looking than we appear. But that dcesn ' t grieve us, because we realize that REAL good looking people cannot be flattered by a picture. Then, too, we must admit that all members of the class could not be present when the picture was taken. This is explained by the fact that some of us had to be looking after the interests of the school, while the rest posed for a picture. Just as it is impossible to get a group pic- ture of our nation ' s great men, so it is impossible to get a group picture of McKendree ' s most illustrious students. But we have done cur best and we hope you will not feel too greatly grieved about the rest of the picture. The gentleman in the front row, wearing a jazz bow is Mr. Canedy, our presi- dent, better known as Snake Brains. Being president of the Soohomore Class is about the greatest thing that can be said of anyone. However, Snake ' s ability to play basketball and to eat more than anyone else in school makes him the envy of all his fellow students, and a shining example for Freshmen. Our vice-president, Mr. J. L. Clements, was one of our number who was delegated to give advice to the Freshmen at the same time the pic- ture was taken. Next to Snake is Marie Crewell, our secretary and treasurer. We will speak of her later. On the extreme right of the picture is a young man in sitting posture, but he has a perfect right to rest. He is Lawrence Cralley, the hustling pas- tor of the Methodist church at Troy, Illinois, and has the distinction cf being the only minister in school entitled to wear an M. In spite of his many responsibilities, Mr. Cralley takes the prize for his hearty chuckle. If you don ' t believe it, ask him to tell you a joke. To the left of Mr. Cralley, we note the likeness of Mr. B. C. Maxey, known by all the students as an all state end. Maxey is one of Coach Law- rence ' s Fighting Football Fellows. He is noted for his successful piloting of the Kitchen Police Basket Ball team to victory in the Scrub Tournament He is the only captain on the hill who has led his team through a season with- out losing a game.
