Enter Grogan, the ,lohn Barrymore of the Senior Class: exit all the feminine hearts. Grogan is as big a hit off the stage as he is on. He is quiet, butforceful, unassuming, but dominant, a regular fellow and one of the most sincere members of the Class of 'Z7.

His heart is as big as his body when it comes to helping the other fellow. He's feathering his nest to be an M.D. so that he can make everybody indis- posed sit up and sing, like the proverbial lark.

Mary is an excellent Math student which means that she has shrewd judgment. keen perceptions, and a practical mind. Mary wants to be a Math teacher, but we predict that six years hence she will be more interested in a cook book than any that Stone-Millis can devise, for Marv By YQ' X is adept in finding both the 'lunknown quantities -- x and it P.
