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

ELEANORE RAE BRADFORD, A.B. Yee have many sfringes to your bowef' Born Jan. 20, 1901, Buckland, Mass., Arms Academy, Baseball 2nd, 1, Soccer 2nd, 2, Soccer, 3, Hockey, 4, Entre Nous, 1, Prize Speaking, 1, Prize, 1, Spotford Club, 2, 3, 4, Secretary-Treasurer, 4, U.

A., 1, 2, 3, 4, Poster Committee, 3, 4, Enkuklios, History Assist- ant, 4, English Assistant, 4, Bates Student Board, Massachusetts Club, MIRROR Board. 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. Advisory Board, 4, Chairman, Church and Community Co-operation, 4, Leader, Voluntary Study Group, 4, Captain, Bates-in-China, 4. 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

ALosco MANSER BURGESS, B.S. HAI!! I scorn. that maid who highcr learning seeks, And find compfmions where fhc lights arc bright. Born Jan. 1, 1901, Auburn, lVIe.g Edward Little High School, Freshman Prize Debate, 15 Class Track, 2, 3, 45 Class Basketball, 4, Var- sity Track, 35 Military Science Club, 2, 3, 4, Jordan Scientific Society, 45 Forum, 23 Deutscher Verein, 3. Al has spent four years at Bates without entering the more or less sacred precincts of Rand, but does that prove anything? Boy, page William Doucette! Given the right crowd and the right orchestra, Al's bashful- ness which the co-eds believe is so much a part of him, disappears, and we may observe a sophisticated man of the world, including Au- burn, Hstepping out with much esprit and eau de cologne. His friends know him as a quiet worker with a keen sense of the ridic- ulous, ever ready to burst into raucous guf- faws of hearty glee, possessing a keen mind beneath a wavy blond thatch of hair. He af- fects a Bowery walk and a cynical smile at times, which fools no one as to his complete lack of sophistication! LL1-:wELLaN ALLISON BURGESS, B.S. GCLe.W77 Thozflt not win ma.iden's heart by any Law Of thy dem' Physics, man! Use thou thy arms! Born Sept. 16, 1900, Rock Falls, Ill., South High School, Worcester, lVIass.g Press Club, 4, Jordan Scientific Society, 45 Physics Assistant, 4, Outing Club, 2, 3, 43 Jordan Scientific Ex- hibition Committee, 4. They say that Lew juggles coils, lines, co- sines, rates of velocity, and amperes as to the spark plug born. That's all very well, and together with that expansive grin and in- gratiating personality, his knowledge is sure to put him on his feet. But in other realms! The laws of speed are forgotten by him when he arrives in the realms of the Coles Philips sex-they say his only really shocking experi- ence occurred in the physics lab-with a tem- peramental battery. In vain does he attempt to pass himself off as a dashing blade, an uncou' lad fa' the lassies, a wee rascal with a naughty eye. Still waters run deep, but we know Burgess won't get in over his head. 29
