Robert Gardner Cokxfortii, “Corny, Seymour. Conn. Seymour High School Mechanical Engineer Musical Club (i). (2) ; Sergeant (2) : M. C. A. Cabinet • Here is a youngster, who has covered his tracks very well, but owing to his lad -killing tactics received a Stillwater Hath in 1915. He claims to be a mechanical engineer but we fear that women have led him astray, for he seems to be rather fond of taking library courses. 1r Caswf.ll Craig, “Cassie” Millinockct Millinocket High School Ulcdricnl Enyinccriny Junior Nominating Committee (3). Here he is. the irresistible Freshman trainer, the irresponsible Junior who could possibly solve some of those mysteries about placing Freshman banners in the chapel. Cas- sie does not care for the co-eds but he says that he has no special animosity for them, moreover a rumor has it that he has a heart affliction caused by a little girl in Providence. He thinks that he will change to Brown. Hugo Silas Cross, “Taxie,” ! r A Guilford Foxcroft Academy Economics Class Basketball (1). (2), (3); Class Baseball (1). (2): Class Football (2) : Glee Club. “Taxie.” the big little Democrat from Guilford. The cream of the Glee Club. He runs the store with three brass balls over the door. He loans candy to supplicating mendi- cants. His motto is. In God we trust.—all others pay cash. He has been recommended to the trustees as an auxiliary heat- ing plant to the campus. His usefulness as a dispenser of hot air should exempt him from the draft. Spherical by shape, square as they make ’em??????, and always round when not wanted. But alas—his “Rep” at Balentiue has been ripped. He almost went to the 1920 banquet. Don't you believe ’em. officer, they’re trying to kidnap me and they are trying to kid you.” Gee. I am a brave guy when I have a cop on each side of me.

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.

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.

Anne arrived on the campus with a smile and free from worry, and this smile she is still carrying. Some might think that Anne is not working for her degree, but the two nights that she is not in the front row of “Ye Strand Theatre, she is working on a deep manuscript entitled, “Defence of Wachiaveli.” After finishing her college course the stage will be her field; whether she will feature in folk-dancing or as an understudy to Mar- guerite Clark is a question to he decided later.

But he has missed his calling, the navy would suit John better, for he has a girl in every port. His latest is a pippin, but. even at that, he can't break the habit of visiting Basin Mills once in a little while. John is a great pianist and we feel sure that some time he will have a Baby Grand.” 3
