No matter what the weather is Qriguratively and literally speakingl she's always in the hest of moods, always has time to joke, and yet is always ready to work when she has to. CThis latter fact is obvious when we read month after month the little slip stating that Martha Curtiss may study in her roomj Read the list of her oflices, too, and you'll realize that Martha takes time off to share her enthusiasm and ability with the rest of us.

Why, of course, it's Fatty, collecting more money! I-Iasn't she been on the go like that for three years now? Recalcitrant members of '32 would rather brave parental wrath to beg for class dues than face Fatty pennilcss. Determined practice has brought her also to the enviable point of ability to typewrite in rhythm to the favorite Stars and Stripes Forever. And she is a marvel in the realms of hockey and basketball. Fatty's determined spirit overcomes all pessimism and other obstacles and mal-:es her a staunch supporter of all things S.M.S. Twenty-lam'

G. needs an abundant sense of humor to back her strong con- victions and to perform her duties, she needs depth of sympathy and tactg she must be a practical idealist. Neflie is all of this-and more. She is a fascinating realist with a Hair for wit and nonsense, yet she seldom fails to apply her ideals to everyday life. One feels that here is a distinct individuality, discerning and thoughtful, one who has no foolish illusions, yet is never Chorrible thoughtj a youthful cynic. What we like most among her attractive characteristics is her practicality. Neffie has both feet on the ground and likes it.

Of course, she's won-even though the sun is hot enough to raise blisters on a bare wall! Ioan always manages to come out on top. Perhaps it's because shels a hard worker-you see, it isn't for nothing we've been watching her oblivious concentration in study hall- and elsewhere. We've often met that determination-which heads towards obstinacy in matters of her own locks or the choice of favorite poets-but found it softened by a humor that doesn't mind laughing even at herself. Content yourself! Itis not for her great grandfather that we like Ioan! Twenty-three

Al- though we rush to console the bereaved, there is no denying that this death has cast per- ceptible gloom upon the atmosphere. Suddenly the study hall bell rings and our attempted Hippancies over that sad event are ended by a vigorous shaking of the head and, in ex- treme cases, verbal admonition by Flops, her personal grief now properly submerged as she fulfills her Stu. G. duties. But duty over, grief forgotten Ca new gold Hsh is acquiredj, and lessons conscientiously done, Flops has time, energy, and interest to be a most enter- taining companion and helps direct a half-dozen school activities.

Not for '32, to be sure, but for the in- nocent ones of posterity who may shake the dust from these leaves. If they are entirely conventional and open to the first page, they will discover that a good beginning as Sal editor is also a good ending-to dispute with the proverb-for subsequent pages reveal Barbarais association with so numerous a group of school activities, and, right above here, you may see that our class history has had no small share of her personality and partici- pation. And we advise you to consult our class statistics before you commit our year book to the dust again! Twenzy-five
