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

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

is pt -Q Qi ai. ROLAND Joy CARPENTER, B.S. l4Carp!Y He more about him, like a 'mmztle thrown, All air of maulzood, tinged with youtlzful strengtlz. Born Feb. 13, 1899, Patten, Me., Patten Academy, Freshman Prize Debate, Forum, 2, 3, Military Science Club, 3, 4, Jordan Scien- tific Society, 4, Manager Baseball, 4, Student Council, 4, Class President, 4. Carp is popular because he does things on time with no noise, because he's got a per- sonality which seems somehow to embody much of the stuff of which Bates' best prod- ucts boast. Realization and recognition of his steady, quiet, non-skid ability resulted in his election as Class President in his Senior year, he's had many questions to solve, a number of disputes to settle, and considering the ex- tremely large number of clashing aims and personalities which have arisen, has done re- markably well. Carp has a sly twinkle belying his otherwise eherubic appearance, and has a ruthless and bumpless disposition-very even. His future, in one sense, seems to be cut out for him in one very definite Patten-how about it, Zet? M1LnRED METHYL CARY, A.B. Womfuz's at best cz contradictioiz still. Born Feb. 1, 1900, Brockton, Mass., Brock- ton Hih, Basketball, 1, 2, 3, Baseball 2nd, 1, Volleyball, 3, Soccer 2nd, 3, Hockey 2nd, 3, 4, Y. W. C. A., Enkuklios, Massachusetts Club, 1, 2, 3, 4, Le Petit Salon, 3, 4, Deutscher Verein, 3, 4, Alethea, 3, Mandolin Club, 1, 2, 3, 4, Numerals. Did Mildred ever miss a practice for hockey, volleyball, basketball, soccer, track, or tennis? Not to our knowledge. Even though she has just heaps to do, often more than the rest of us, she can always be relied upon in athletics. That she has been successful may be seen from her record. Her quiet humor and even temperament have endeared her to those who know her best. 30
