E, K, Entered, 1922 Born, July 4, 1908 O lhou arl fairer lhan lhe evening air, Clnd in the beautv of a Ihousand slarsf'-Marlowe. E. K ., for as such she is known, has been with Brimmer for five years. She proved her skill as a forward in basketball in the Fourth Class, when she made the squad. Sinee then she has steadily climbed to her present position on the team. ln the open season she plays tennis. For two years she was runner-up in the tournamentg this year she eame out on top-and now the cup is yours, E. K.l Despite the faet that Elizabeth is sueh an athlete, she could easily impress a stranger as being frailg but a girl who eats dessert as extensively as she does. could not be very delicate. E. li. is a great talker--over the telephone! This is her favorite indoor sport and, here again, she ranks as a speeialist. Perhaps all this seems to have little eonneetion with the words of Marlowe so happily chosen for Elizabeth. but one glance at her profile will prove their truth. Pnyr 'I'uwnly-Ium Eleetetl to .N A..

1927 CLASS BOOK PHOEBE FOLGER JORDAN Address-House C, Navy Yard, Boston, Mass. HPHOEBUS,,, Pm-:BEM Entered, 1918 Born, August 13, 1909 Bid-me discourse, I will enchanl thine ear. -Shakespeare. We defy anyone to guess how Phoebe will look on any given morning. Her appar- ent age varies from twelve to twenty, according to her fickle fancy in hairdressing. As to her real age, if we believed in reincarnation, we could have no doubts on that point. Her information about the private lives of Greek gods and goddesses is suspiciously accurate and detailed, and Diana was notoriously fond of gossip. Phoebe's chief talent, aside from writing, which it would be trite to mention, is in the gentle art of conversation. Here her ambition seems to be, not to make as much noise as possible, but rather to break her own record of the number of words which she can utter in the space of one second, on the subject of, say, Byron the Poet and the Man, or the merits of the Navy, or of her dog. Phoebus' philosophical specu- lations are sometimes quite startling, but we have not read William James and Phoebe has, so what more need be said? THE SENIOR CLASS QNSP Elected to A.
