Art-whether it's Wallace Nutting or Cim- abui-but always and forever-Art! And Eleanore's keen interest in art never succeeds in causing her to neglect any other line of work. Have you known of any drama being given at Bates during the last four years without her ceaseless and very efficient labors? Isn't she always ready to join you on a trip to George's '? And we wonder if she ever slipped up on a written-even at the height of her busy time in some other activity. Prof. Gould could probably tell us,-but we know whether or not he would! Eleanore also has a reputation for jazz-and an interest in Am- herst, Mass. HOMER CHENERY BRYANT, A B He argued long on woman and her fzviles, Profcssing dev'lish lfnozvleolge of her ways. Born June 10, 1899, Wayne, Me., Deering High School, Macfarlane Club, 2, 3, 4, Deutscher Verein, 4, Phil-Hellenic Club, 4, Outing Club, 3, 4, Y. M. C. A.

When Homer spilled pint measures of liquid blue notes all over the organ four years ago, we knew his mind must have been elsewhere, possibly in Portland, but there have been times when we have heard him put his whole sole, leather and ethereal, into his playing, and how he can make that instrument weep, groan, howl, whisper, and sing tenor! Homer admits that college has taught him much-how to talk turkey with college presidents, when and when not to blush, etc., we know him as courteous, considerate, obliging, a real musi- cian, and he goes out from Bates bearing deep- stamped in his character the hallmark of a true Christian gentleman of noteworthy pur- suits and ambitions. 27

Born Aug. 14, 1900, Auburn, Me., Edward Little High School, Class Track, 15 Class Football, 2, 3, Acting Manager, 3, Manager, 4, Jordan Scientific Society, 3, President, 4, Chemistry Assistant, 4. Football manager and Jordan Scientific prexy-two of the most honored offices in col- lege life-have both found Bill in the saddle. Long lab hours and off-campus residence have not prevented him from becoming one of the popular men of twenty-two. He is, moreover, a very discriminating lad and spends little time with co-eds, everything in this respect being labeled Outside Activities. If there's a tough job to be done, Bill wrinkles up his brow, takes a fresh hitch to his trousers, pipes a few pungent remarks in his high-toned voice, and goes and does it. He is no self-advertiser, but sufiice it to say that he stands in the ranks of the leaders of the class. No, Rollo, he does not play the ukelele. MAVORETTE EVELYN BLACKMER, A.B. Tile siveetiiess of ll woman is Us 'much in her silence as in lzer words. Born Nov. 23, 1898, Erving, Mass., Cushing Academy, Y. W. C.

A., 2, 3, Le Petit Salon, 1, 2, 3, 4, Treasurer, 2, Massachusetts Club, 1, 2, 3, 4, Secretary, 2. One of the sweetest of them all, a quiet little friend to all, is our Mavie. The only time she is noisy is when she gets behind her pipe organ and makes lovely music for us. Neither an athlete nor a society lady, yet she has her dis- tinct place among us, and we love her for her unfailing friendliness. She is a pe1'sistent and earnest student in spite of her health, which has not always been good. She looks happiest when sihe is beside her dear Maudie land so does Maudiei. The twinkle in her bright eyes has always made us feel that there was quite a big vein of humor there, and we know it is all good humor, too. 26

RAYMOND BATES BUKER, A.B. KKRayH Now, Mercury, hand to me your sandals swift, And I will 'use them in the cause of man. Born Aug. 27, 1899, Foster, R. I., Mount Hermon Academy, Freshman Prize Debateg Varsity Track, 1, 2, 3, 43 Varsity Cross Coun- try, 2, 3, 43 Captain, Track and Cross Coun- try, 45 Politics Club, Treasurer, 4, Phil-Hel- lenic Club, Jordan Scientific Society, Class Chaplain, 1, 2, 3, 45 Leader, Student Volun- teer Group, 4, President, Y. M. C. A., 4. The little Bates man was wonderful, mar- velous, courageous, pulsating-all these and more as he passed the last man and sprinted, a winner, to the tape. That's how a Boston writer described Ray's shattering of the two- mile mark. Bates is proud-and lucky-to have as track captain an international cham- pion. A deep sincerity marks all of Ray's acts, whether it be leading a Y. M. meeting or eating a church supper. He's a chap with ideals and the pep to back them up. Perhaps that speed of his will aid him in avoiding some cannibal chieftain intent on Hbroiled Buker, a la Samoa, when Ray enters his life work in foreign missionary fields. FRANK ALBERT BUOTE, B.S. uBennyn E'en like unto a. magnet, he doth draw Much. work unto himself-'tis fin good hands. Born Aug. 4, 1902, Roxbury, Me., Stephens High School, Military Science Club, 2, 3, 4, Secretary, 4, Jordan Scientific Society, 3, 4, Secretary, 45 Outing Club, Secretary, 4, Ivy Day Speaker, Track Manager, 4, Chemistry Assistant, 4. Hal Ha! 'At's a good one, Pete! and Benny leans back from a desk cluttered with Outing Club tags, track team placards, orders for pins, calculus examples, and books, while he enjoys a little interlude as Pete plays his banjo. Four years in college have left him the same optimistic ever-ready-to-please chap who came to Bates as a Freshman from Rum- ford. He's got a great smile and a swell mop of molasses colored hair, qualities guaranteed by Daniel Cupid to get results sometime. He always has a thousand and one little odd jobs to do, and what's more, he does them. Never mind, Benny, this training in looking out for little things may come in handy sometime! 28 M
