College: University of Maine. Here he is, gentle readers-the original inspiration of Kipling's mas- terpiece called Boots There has never been any doubt in our minds that Rudyard must have had a vision of Emery slogging', into senior English when he wrote the immort-al Boots Howsoever, we know plenty of girls who are willing to shout themselves hoarse cheering for him at a football game, and we don't wonder. He is a fullback to be proud of. x HARRY DODGE xbktfi' Course: Scientific Activities: Cadets 1, 2: Band 3, 43 Orchestra 2, 3, 4, Breccia Board: Football 43 Class Treasurer 4.

'M 'M WINNIFRED DYER I:Wi1l1Zi6,J Course : Commercial Activities: Glee Club 4. Isn't Winnie a fine-looking child? Her sleek, glossy brown hair, her twinkling brown eyes, her quiet manners, and school-girl complexion make us envious. She studies, too, we say that she'l1 make a good old-fashioned wife in the good old-fashioned way. MILDRED ELGEE Course: College Hobby: Reading. , We don't know Mildred well enough yet to dig up and divulge to the world all the scandals of her past life, because she arrived only last fall from Limestone and has been so quiet as to escape even the lynx-eyed grind committee. We like your quiet studiousness, Mildred, and will write you a good recommendation any time. - if HAROLD A. ERICKSEN Blo1zdy i Course: Scientihc Activities: Football 2, 3, 4, 55 Basketball 1, 2, 3: Cadets 1, 2, 3, 43 Major in the Cadets, D Club 5. Blondy is the fellow who held down the center job on the football team, and was picked as the best school center in the State. The only thing he needed was a big guard on either side to keep his square head from getting chipped: as he had these, he was safe. For four years he was also a Cahoot -and rose from potato-peeling private to gor- geously-garbed generalissimo of the gang with imitation ten-cent pieces on his shoulders. Af? .

Ambition: To talk like Guppy. College: Bates. John Davis, a miniature dynamo, the ever helping hand, almost be- come a national liability! We wonder if there ever was a more noto- rious case of mumps than that which John fostered in his cervical regions. Never before had we realized that so many seniors came in such close contact with John until that fateful day when half the senior class bewailed the fact that they had walked to school some two or three blocks behind him. What a way for -a boy like John to spring into prominence! He is a member of Deeringis triumphant debating teamg he has guided the business destinies of the Debating Club and the Breccia 5 he has made a name for himself as a public speaker, but it took a c-ase of mumps to make him a public issuel WALTER DAVIS ffB0gyJ!

DEARBORN frDebby:1 rrpolau Course: Classical Activities: Class Play 45 French Play 4. Hobby: Skiing? and all outdoor sports. Ambition: Dietitian. College: Colby. This, dear reader, is Eleanor Nellie Mae Pola Negri Dearborn. The weight of such a name overweighed her mind to such an extent that she descended to us from the class of twenty-three. She carries around a little vanity case to hx her Pola .bangs-and we can tell you on good authority that she s lost more vanity cases than any other girl in the senior class. Her greatest fault seems to be rushing home fifth period to find a letter from Tufts, and she's never dis-appointed! JENNIE M. DENSMORE rfDintyII Course: Commercial Hobby: Outdoor sports. Ambition: Success. Dinty Densmore makes new friends everywhere she goes, No one knows just why it is she can make no foes5 Maybe it's her common sense, or her quiet way. Really, she wins someone's heart every single day. GEORGE DIBBLEE Course: Commercial Now at Portland University. What do you make of this one? Why, nothing wrong, couldn't find a thing. He was a good friend to those who knew him, rather drive a Ford afternoons th-an go out for athletics, and he did good work in his studies. So St. Peter let him by.
