GEORGE ROBINSON He would make a public speaker, but that isn’t his idea. George is interested in all things mechanical, and takes great delight in ‘‘tinkering”. He’d like to take a ride in an open cockpit plane. DONALD SHAY “Don” “Don” can be relied upon to do the task assigned him. He has a weakness for wasting nickels in slot machines. CARLYLE SMITH “Lyle” Here’s a quiet fellow whose chief interests are hunting and fishing. He prefers dark colors, and likes to read. “Lyle” likes to travel. LYNN SMITH ' Lynn has high aspirations —aviation is his chief in-. terest. The fact that he plays a trumpet does not indicate that he’s an angel. EVELYN SPENCER She sings, and dislikes prunes and murder stories. Evelyn collects stamps, post cards, and souvenirs, and likes to write letters. She also saves the ones she receives. She’s an omnivorous reader. PAUL STAFFORD A basketball player who hates farming. Paul doesn’t have a lot to say, but he did tell us that his favorite song is “I Have No Use for the Women”. Now, how can that be? Give the girls a chance, Paul. (He blushes divinely) ELOISE ROCKWELL “Tommy” Any kind of sport suits her, just so it’s chock-full of action. She just can’t stand inactivity. With “Tommy” around, there’s never a dull moment. She likes to camp, and wishes that she were a boy so she could be a forester. CHARI ES SKINNER “Scoop” “Scoop” takes his duties as class president seriously. His reputation for being bashful has been ruined by senior parties—eh, girls? A radio fan. JOSEPH SMITH “Joe” A fisherman is he—and a zealous one. His favorite occupation, however, is sleeping “Joe’s” suppressed desire is to sleep for twenty-four hours. (Suppressed?) CHARLES SOPER “Soapy” “Soapy” is a baseball player, who twangs a mean Jew’s-harp. A good-natured, earnest fellow. He has intermittent attacks of Ford trouble.

MARIAN MUNN Marian would be happy if it weren’t for Caesar. It’s the curse of her life, but she still has a smile. She would like to be a stenographer in California! ELEANOR PARKS “Parksie” Personality plus. “Parksie” would rather dance than eat, and eating is her favorite pastime. Her secret desire is to take dancing lessons. If she stubs her toe, she never fails to go back and walk over the bump— that’s her pet superstition. MARGUERITE PARK “Jean” No, not Guy’s sister—his cousin. She likes to collect pictures of model homes, and make candy. What more could a fellow ask? “Jean” would like to exterminate all drivers who take their half out of the middle of the road. JOHN PECK “Johnny” “Oh gummy wad!”—that’s what he says. A good manager. Unless you have the whole day free, don’t get “Johnny” started at reciting poetry. His favorite oration is “Casey at the Bat”. (He says he knows “Casey’s Revenge”, too.) ANNE RAMEY You’d better keep your eye on Anne—she’s a souvenir collector, and an ardent one. She likes to dance and to read good books. She says she intends to become a laboratory technician. DAVID RILEY “Dave” Baseball is his favorite sport. Riley says that operas are his pet aversion, and that if he had a day to do as he pleased, he rould sleep, sleep, sleep. JAMES MURRAY “Jim” Quiet and serious—especially about a certain junior. Book reports are the bane of his life. GUY PARK “Parksie” One of our football heroes. Guy says he simply can’t stand blondes with no sense of humor. Come, come now! He loves to eat and have a good time. (The eating is essential.) NAOMA PARKS “Nomie” Practical and capable. She cordially hates loud radio music and “three point” books. Naoma says that two things she would like to do are to go to New York, and to ride horseback. DONALD PUTNAM “Don” He has a big ambition—at least it sounds big—he wants to be an osteopathic surgeon. “Don” is very fond of bicycling, but his favorite occupations are eating and sleeping. MARGERY RAWLEY “Marge” Can she tickle the ivories! A pianist of the first degree, who likes to knit in her spare time. “Marge’s” great desire is to own and operate a swanky ladies’ dress shop.

BERT SUMNER “Butch” His hair might be what you’d call rose blonde. He is always in the hall on business — (monkey business?) Bert seems to have a weakness for brunettes. He’d like to race Sir Malcolm Campbell or Armstrong. JOYCE TERRY i' To be a nurse is her aim. r Joyce is the kind of girl who ican be depended upon, and (Who is always willing to Vjhelp. She likes to knit, and hates liver. EUGENE WANDELL “Gene” The merry twinkle in his eye belies his reputation for being serious. One of Van’s pals. IDA WELLS Short and jolly.

CARLTON WITTIE He's a serious chap whose pet aversion is snakes. He, too, likes to tinker with cars. If he had a day to do as he pleased, he’d take a long boat ride. DOROTHY TALADA “Dot” A faithful friend. We don’t wonder that she wants to be a home economics teacher— she wields a deft needle and doesn’t burn water while boiling it. “Dot” is very fond of dancing, swimming, and camping. MARIAN WALLIN A collector of poems, and another potential nurse. Marian would like to be able to play some musical instrument. She is the possessor of beautiful fingernails—so pretty they had to be mentioned. LAWRENCE WEED You can usually find him in the typing room, but we don’t know’ why. His pet aversion is dandelion greens. Lawrence likes to tinker with a car. JACK WHITE Radio is his hobby, and joking his favorite diversion. His laugh is infectious. Jack is a German student, and writes all his notes in German. Is that fair? LOIS ZIMMER “Dutch” “Dutch’s” pet superstition is the wearing of someone else’s birthstone ring. She would like to travel all over the world, but has to be satisfied with taking long walks. How about rollerskating or horseback riding, “Dutch”? Page fifteen
