Ralph Lawrence Brown, '‘Brownie,” l PA Cedar Grove Bridge Academy Biology Brownie is a bug chaser and an ex-teacher, so “rotten” in bis studies, it's a wonder Jimmy Stevens lets him stay in his college. We have nothing against this insignificant, unsophis- ticated youth except that a shadow hangs over his life—his last year’s term bill. Curtice Lowe Caswell. “Cassy,” AT A Portland Bridgton Academy Chemical Engineering Corj oral (2); Lieutenant 3); Alpha Chi Sigma; Scab- bard and Blade. Kings arc bis favorite suit, especially with the ladies. He is an adopted son of Orono. It is rumored about the campus that the hardest work Cassy does during the sum- mer is to play tennis with Prof. Mitchell, after which they indulge in a nap in the chemical hoods with the ventilating fans furnishing the sea breezes. Before Cassy got in strong with the Royal Family W ebster held many attractions for him. Robert Dunning Ciiellis. “Bob,” AX Portland Westbrook Seminary Civil Engineering Campus Board (1). (2). (3): Associate Editor Campus (3); Mandolin Club (3); Secretary Civil Engineering Soci- ety (3); Secretary Campus Board (3); Prism Board (3); M. C. A. Cabinet. We almost expected to sec Bob elected president of the Co-ed Haters Club” and follow in the footsteps of many a wise man. But in the first place his feet are too big. secondly we fear, he has a dear in Deering. All of which proves that the stronger they are the harder they fall. We don’t dare say any more here, but come around sometime and we will whisper the incriminating facts to you. Tsiu Chi Ciiow. “Big Chow” Chekiang, China Tsing Hua. Peking Chemical Engineering T. C. Chow, who recently startled the world and made an important contribution to science by discovering the struct- ural formula for oat-meal in colloidal suspension, gives prom- ise of becoming a famous chemical engineer. Despite his wonderful ability as a chemist, he stated in an interview that he would carry on no reactions in China. -7

Ray Milton Astlk, “Squeakie,” IK-) IT Houlton Moulton High School Chemical Engineering Class Football (2) ; Student Council (3). This little sawed off runt from spud county came down here to impart some of his original ideas in chemistry to the chemical department, and although his enthusiasm has abated a little along that line he still has the same ambitions. He is a co-ed hater and during his Freshman year made pilgrimages to Old Town to avoid their wiles. He is slowly becoming civilized and hopes to become a model student before he grad- uates. Robert Wallace Ayer ill, “Rob A X A Stillwater E lee trica I E ngi n cering Hebron Academy, Old Town High School Sergeant (2) ; Lieutenant (3). This is Bob, and he hails from Stillwater. If you have never heard of him. it is because you have never visited Blue- berry Hill. The only mistake that Bob ever made was to allow his kid brother to transport him to the Island once. He just did not think, that’s all. Boh will deny all of this, but—we know something. Jennie Christina Beaulieu Old Town Old Town High B.A. Jennie came here from the great metropolis of Old Town as a man-hater. Alas, she has been overcome by the wiles of Cupid. For some time she has labored over her “Home Ec” courses and some think that she may put them into practical use. Fred Hopkins Brown, “Pop.” non Bangor Bangor High School Civil Engineering Corporal (2). Allow us to introduce this innocent looking comedian from Bangor, who can imitate anything from a gas engine to a laying lu-n He worked so hard trying to entertain the pupils in “Doc” Easlv’s Freshman chemistry class that he was called back for a second year. We always knew that “Pop” was a high flyer and when he decided to become an aviator we were not surprised. We arc sorry to have you go. Pop, but have pity on the birds. 2d

Junior Week Committee (3); Corporal (2); Sergeant (2); Lieuten- ant (3 ; Scabbard and Blade. Here’s a guy that changed from engineering to “Heck and ever since he has been trying to defend the name of ‘‘Us Agicultural Gentlemen.” Sam is a poet, but you would never guess it from his looks; he’s fond of such an expression as this: “If it is two hundred miles from Caribou to Orono how far is it to Skowhegan? Of course no one would accuse him of having more than one girl. It sure would be an awful smash though, if they all came together. His favorite pastime is messing somebody’s hair and possibly editing The Prism. He is a firm believer in the spoken word (alias the Maine Masque) and is “Windy” Daggett's chief adviser on French plays. His ability in Mr. Maine’s Army will probabh be testified to after the war by the many Boches who may have been unfortunate enough to run into some of the “Hun exterminators that Sam has trained Raymond John Cook, “Ray,” (-) X Worcester, Mass.

Raymond John Pavalowa Cook, the dancing nymph of the I beta Chi house, and the Bangor house. As yet he has not determined his permanent address. He can be found, however, every Sunday PM. in his fraternity house and any night in the week he is in some parlor in Bangor. Raymond is not only proficient with his feet but has shown rare ability as Editor of the Campus. This Campus job almost drove cookie to the wall and when on the mat “Janie” would not believe his story. In spite of the luring lights of the Queen city, he manages to pass his courses.
