GRACE WINN BRACKETT, A.B. Berwick, Maine She smiled-and a light was on her face, A clear, cool kindlinessf' Born August 4, 1902, Berwick, Maine: Su!- livan High School 1920: Tilton Seminary 1921: Entre Nous: Y. W. C.

With us she has grown up a little-just enough. She smiles still, and laughs, and sings, and plays hard-but often she falls serious, and thinks big thoughts until they shine out in her eyes, to us, everyone, her friend. ELSIE FURBUSH BRICKETT, A.B. MARY NUTTER BROCK, A.B. Waterboro, Maine The meeting points the sacred hair dissever From the fair head-forever, and forever. 'Born July 20, 1903, Waterboro, Maine: Al- fred High School 1920: Hiking 1, 2, 3, -1: Soccer 2nd 2, 3: Hockey 2nd 3, 4: Volleyball Znd 3, 4: Basketball 2nd 3: Numerals: Entre Nous: Y. W. C. A.: Outing Club: Cercle Francais: Deutscher Verein. We didn't think Mary would really ever do it: you see. there are families-and others- to be considered. Do they like your hair bobbed in Waterboro, Mary? We do, and we hope you'll never let it grow again, even when you are a dignified French Teacher. Mary has kept training rules faithfully in every season of the year, and won her re- ward in athletic honors. She takes her studies seriously, and loves a joke as well. Moreover, she has lived on first floor for three years: what wild tales could she not tell of midnight callers and the cards they leave! Brix Scranton, Penna.

Elsie!-the tea-wagon, the delicate tea-set, the bright napkins. the artsquare, the pretty formality of teas and ten o'clock creamed chicken and bridge parties. Elsie !-typewritten notebooks, fragrant and snowy-topped dresser, sharply creased knickers, a silk tie matching a leather belt, a stiff. shining collar just from the laundry. Elsie !-never busy, always ready. Elsiel-primarily, continually, exquisitely nice.

HAMILTON REED BAILEY, B.S. Ham Dresden, Maine I will a round unvarnished tale deliver of my whole course of love. Born January 17, 1905, Dresden, Maine: Bridgton Academy, 1921: Freshman Prize Debate: Jordan Scientific 4: Y. M. C. A. 1. 2, 3, 4: Outing Club 1, 2, 3, 4: Ritie Club Z. Due to some oversight, Ham has negr- lected to list co-education 1, 2, 3, 4, among his activities. He certainly has hit this partic- ular course for everything that's in it. but since Ellen is one of our own classmates we can't verbally chastise our Romeo. Ham has found time to make many friends when he wasn't in Auburn and you can be sure it is the kind of friendship that will stand like the Rock of Gib1'altar. We expect Hamilton to make the same sincere, honest impression upon the world as he has made upon us during the last four years. MORTON COVELL BARTLETT, B.S. EUTERPE BOUKIS, A.B. Zippy Haverhill, Mass. The hidden soul of harmony. Born Sept. 4, 1903, Lorissa, Greece. Came to the U. S. in 1913. Haverhill High School. Y. M. C. A. l, 2, 3, 4: World Fellow- ship Committee. 2, 3: Bible Study Committee, 4: Christmas Bazaar, Chairman of Publicity Com. 4: Hockey 2nd 1, 2, 3: Volley Ball 3. Znd 1, 2, 4: Basketball 2nd 1: Phil- Hellenic, 1, 2, 3, 4: Vice-President 3, Sec. and Treas. 4: Junior Exhibition: Alethea 2, 3: College Choir, -1: Seniority, 4: Women's Cheer Leader. Honor student, Phi Beta Kappa. Tip as leader of songs and cheers, mar- shalling us into Hathorn and the rallies, leading: our cheers on the hockey field. We admire her scholastic standing, all of us, and her executive ability. But perhaps longer remembered is the Tippie whose hidden soul is harmony. The simple haunting melody of a Greek song. the perfect harmony of two voices blending-Tip's and Al's. Morvich Plymouth, Mass. Happiness, our beings, end and aim. Born August 7, 1901, Plymouth, Massachusetts: Plymouth High School 1920: Military Science 1, 2, 3, 4: Secretary Commons Committee 4: Director of Outing Club 4: Y. M C. A. 1, 2, 3, 4: Manager Baseball 4: Varsity Club 4: Class Basketball 1, 2, 3: Hockey 1: Football 1: Rifle Club 3. It's a gift Bart, that ever-ready smile that has made every classmate and associate a friend. Even in a Harry Rowe job at the Commons you have not lost the respect or popu- larity you earned long ago. As an Outing Clubber, we don't know how we'd get along without you. The comfort of the cabin at Sabattus is largely due to Morvich's proficiency with hammer and saw. As a baseball manager he has proved very capable and efHcient. But, we wish you every success, and hope you get Hoyt.

Born September 1, 1904, Portland, Maine: South Portland High School, '21: Entre Nous, 1: Portland Club, 1, 2, 3, 4: Secre- tary-Treasurer, 3: Student Government Ju- diciary Board, 2: Alethea, 2, 3,: Y.

W. cabinet meeting, a pile of Bib. Lit. papers to correct and a speech or two on her mind, Verdis still retains her calm, cheerful disposition. That laugh which you have heard above and between the con- stant chatter in Rand Hall dining room belongs to Vardis, too. A happy heart, con- scientious work and splendid efficiency are characteristics that make her an ideal Y. W. president. KATHERINE COLBY BURKE, A.B. MEREDITH FREDERICK BURRILL, A.B. Augusta, Maine Pete For he who is honest is noble Whatever his fortune or birth. Born, December 23, 1902, Houlton, Maine: Brewer High School, 1920: College Choir 2, 3, 4: Librarian 3: Track 1, 2, 3, 4: Glce Club 2, 3: French Club 1: Orphic Society 3: Personal Editor Mirror. Here's a man of many talents, an athlete, a singer and above all a prominent graduate co-educator. Harry Rowe has filed a protest against Pete because it has cost the college so much putting in new wires on the telephone. You see, Pete has kept the wires so hot between here and Woodsvillc, that they have burned out several times. Pete also has been known to burn the boards and has contributed to our successful relay teams. Kay Hiram, Maine. 'Tis the mind that makes the body rich. Born October 17, 1903, NVorcester, Mass.: Northfield Seminary: Y. W. C.

K's interests and activities are many, you can see. She is not a scholar only, scholarly though she be, but a keen participant in athletics and sports. Did anybody ever see the '25 goal-keeper fail to stop that hockey ball? Her nature is that of the thoroughbred, riding on her nerve. and as thoroughly dependable. A speech, left to K is sure of the proper touch- wit, sense, and a certainty of success.
