untor College Graduates WALTER BOUMAN, Soest, Ind.—Practical, affable, Walt made his vociferous yet 'gemuetlich'' way about Concordia's halls.

ROBERT BUSSE, Fort Wayne, Ind.—Sprightly of spirit, gay and irrepressible, yet imbued with a determination and a certain serious consciousness.

A Cappella Choir; Sock and Buskin. BRUCE CASSLER, Aurora, West Virginia—Impetuous, an efficient and self-appointed taskmaster—a composite picture of Bruce.

untor College WILLIAM ABRAM, Goeglein, Ind.—Bill is imbued with self- confidence, numerous talents, and an intrepid, almost cocky, outlook on life.

Basketball; Investigation Com- mittee, RICHARD BERNTHAL, Detroit, paclitatos Mich—cConfident and earnest of purpose, living with Dick is an education in itself. Extremely aggressive, he brings to fruition every project he undertakes: for few are able to resist his smooth manners and machine-gun-fire talking. A lively conversationalist, he is a delightful individualist to his classmates. Basketball; Executive Committee; Investigation Committee; Sock and Buskin. EDWARD BIRNER, Mattoon, IIl —The class's tall, dark, and handsome sharpshooter deserves special commendation for his modesty. Despite the lofty position he held in the Can- teen-Gym Crew Union, he never permitted this unusual power to go to his head. Ed is indeed a friend of rare charm and understanding. Male Chorus; Basketball; Sock and Bus- kin; SAC, president Il. The Union displays its masterpiece RICHARD BOLIN, Humboldt, IIl—Dick possesses the pe- culiar knack of making t he most innocent statement sound like a thunderous challenge issued by another Pope Urban the Second. Though giving an impression of simplicity and innocency, this home-spun philosopher presents many a re- freshingly different slant on things. Canteen Crew; Mission Society; Pnyx. Who said college fellows don't study?
