STERLING RYDER Course : Classical Activities: Cadets 3, 45 Glee Club 4: Student Service 3. Hobbies: Music and athletics. College: Bowdoin. When-and if-Sterling Ryder grows up, he will probably be an absent-minded professor, but professor o fwhat, we do not know, unless it is absent-mindedness-surely not French, for all the world, including Miss Briggs, knows that Sterling hasn't a drop of French blood in his veins.

Do you hear those silvery notes soaring among the clouds? That's Louise pouring out her heart in one of her amorous selections. Someone hinted a while ago that if you wished to hear a pleasing story, ask Louise about the umbrella episode. However, we can add another: just ask Fat about the day she walked into school with her kitchen apron on. DOROTHY SCRIBNER Scribby, Scribble or Dot'i Course: General Activities: Glee Club 3, 4. Q Hobby: C-amp and all the things connected with it, tennis, Adancing, swimming, riding, etc. Ambition: To be able to talk with more ease. Goldie Locks had nothing on Scribby for blond hair, because here is the fairest we have ever seen.

Ask Scribby.
