CLARENCE EVERETT ALLEN, A.B. HAI!! I count them ofvefr, one by ouc- My lzandkcrclzicfs, my lzcuzdlferclziefsl -Apologies to The Rosary. Born March 27, 1901, South Braintree, Mass., Sumner High School, Class Track, 1, 2, 3, 4, Class Football, 2, Varsity Football, 2, 4, Glee Club, 3, 4, Mandolin Club, 2, 3, 4, Deutscher Verein, 4, Cercle Francais, 4, Out- ing Club, 2, 3, 4. Endowed with a frame which Sandow might well envy, gifted with powers of speech which he fondly imagines gets them all, Al has drifted casually 'through college. His deep voice is well suited to the guttural sobbings of his major, German, and also to telephoning: when a chance passer-by sees him draped gracefully over the mouthpiece and hears him address Ella now, Alice still later, Lena again, ad infinitum, reason totters on its throne and we wonder what charm he pos- sesses. He's always ready for a good time, though the bill for broken furniture may mount into three figures. A staunch friend, a genial comrade, Al is due to arrive somewhere with success gripped in one brawny fist and, we have hopes, a Gilette in the other! MARGUERITE STANLEY ARMSTRONG, A.B. I have a mcufs mind, but a wonzmfs vniglzff' Born Maidstone, Vt., Lancaster Academy, Forum, New Hampshire Club, 1, 2, 3, 4, President, 4, Seniority, 3, 4, Enkuklios, Out- ing Club, Y. W. C. A. Maggie has a very logical mind. If you doubt it, just ask Pa Gould or Prof. Car- roll, or know ye that she's Goosie's assistant in Medieval History. Her mind. is a filing system wherein everything is catalogued: 1, 2, 3, sub a, b, c, continued ad infinitum. Even the great mighties of debating appreciate this quality. And lVlaggie's sense of humor is known to be beyond co iparison, her remark is the unexpected, as frand George says. Remem'ber us, Maggie, in the business world. 24

JOHN WILLIAM ASHTON The blond-haired Saxon, single pzlrposed, strove To reach his goal and, laughing, gained the heights. Born July 11, 1900, Lewiston, Me.g Jordan High Schoolg Forum, 1, 2, 3, Politics Club, 3, 4, Secretary, 4, Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, 3g Spof- ford Club, 2, 3, 4, Assistant Manager Track, 3, Freshman Prize Debate, Sophomore Prize Debateg Ivy Orationg Junior Exhibition, Var- sity Debate, 4, Debating Medal, Debating Council, 2, 3, 4, Secretary, 3, Student Board, 35 Assistant English, 2, 3, 43 Geology, 4, Business Manager, MIRROR, Delta Sigma Rho. Bill is an excellent two-legged specimen of a true Bates gentleman and scholar. If he's on a committee, conscientious and complete work is assured from him. Yea, he spilleth over words in debate even as doth an over- flowing rain barrel drops of pellucid water, nor doth he forget overly much that fair woman constituteth a goodly portion of the race. Brilliant in studies, happy in tempera- ment, Bill will long be remembered by his class as a jolly scout, a real sport, a keen thinker- a triumvirate difficult to beat. By the way, Bill, who's to be best man? And will it be single or double ring service? BENJAMIN WALDO AVI-mr, B.S. UIkey!! The sculptor hacked and hewed at his rough mass, And lo! From out the block appeared a Man! Born Dec. 5, 1901, Jefferson, Me., Lincoln Academy, Manager Bates Student, 33 Man- ager Tennis, 3g Press Club, Class Track, 4. To this youth, with his frank, open face and Elgin movement, can be applied that phrase embodying praise, He can be depended upon. He almost always has a wide grin, yet at times his straw-colored thatch bristles with right- eous indignation as his Uhonah is trifled with, suh! as Marse Watterson might say. Ikey is also a keen philosopher and many times has burbled forth on the Whatness of the Whence in Doc Britan's psycopathic ward over in Hathorn. He's had his A.M. iAlmost Marriedj degree conferred already, and per- haps this goes hand in hand with his ability as a manager. Combined in him a1'e the fine qualities of a real man of Maine together with the best that Bates imparts to her sons, a sort of two in one polish. 25
