WILLIAM X. TRUEBLOOD MARTHA DOAN B.A. Earlham College M.A. Earlham College Philosopher and poet. thinks thoughts that no mortal man can comprehend. He admits that he is not orthodox, hut he possesses very definite and decided ideas about things nevertheless. We wish he had more chapel duties to perform. He wants to retire but how can Earl- ham get along without him ' B.S., M.S. Purdue University B.L. Earlham College Sc.D. Cornell University Words fail us. but never Miss Doan. It would take an automatic rapid-fire dictionary to carry on an intelligent conversation with her. She helps us to discover and develop our latent possibilities. Her splendid personality is pure gold without alloy. MARY E. BERTSCH EDWIN P. TRLTJ ' .Loon Diploma from School of Home Economics This is the same picture Mary had in last year, but you can ' t blame her. She can ' t change every year. She is too busy ordering our cereal and tak- ing music to have another one taken. If you saw a flash of vivid color and heard a voice, probably it was Miss Bertsch. B.S. Earlham College Ph.B. Ann Arbor A.M. Earlham College Took a vacation in Florida. He comes back with an added coat of tan and heightened enthusiasm for better Earlham. He hates to lose worse than Coach himself. J. H. COFFIN B.S. Penn College A.M. Penn College Ph.D. Cornell University The Dispair of Beau Brummel. One Prof, who says you don ' t have to keep a note book, but you keep one anyway. He is an advocate of the capillary method of learning. He supplements his ideas of Kant with some gentle but firm ideas of his own. E. MERRILL ROOT A.B. Amherst Prof. Root ' s juvenile appearance and air of innocence is enough to camouflage his official position even in the presence of the most sophis- ticated. Under his seeming impass- ivity there lurks a spirit of jollity. He really comes from Boston al- though Miss Parker will never be- lieve it. One needs to have taken track to keep up when he gives notes.

ALLEN DAVID HOLE SOPHY D. PARKER B.S. Earlham College M.A. Earlham College Ph.D. University of Chicago Daddy Hole ' s pile driver style of bumping into key words is sufficient to keep anybody from going to sleep when he talks. He carries down to bed rocks and can read the earth ' s history at a glance. His is a nature as full of kindness as Clear Creek limestone is full of fossils. A.B. Boston University Parker, the Cynic, comes from New England where they are still learning. She labors under the de- lusion that college was made ex- clusively for studying French. She has passed only one compliment since her arrival, but she will learn. LINDLEY RICHARD DEAN LOUIS K. OPPITZ A.B. Dartmouth College A.M. Princeton University Ph.D. Princeton University A.B. Yale University M.A. Yale University Ph.D. University of Pennsyi Prof. Dean knows that Pi stands for something else besides pastry and 3.1416, although versed in both. He holds daily converse with Dem- osthenes and Cicero. He firmly be- lieves that knowledge of Greek and Latin is necessary for happiness. A rough man at volley ball. He can ' t keep a professional secret. There used to be only fourteen peo- ple in the whole world who under- stood the Einstein theory until Prof, gave the whole thing away in chapel. His long shots always hit the mark. MARY MENDENHALL B.S. Earlham College Is an able assistant to Prof. Wild- man in the Chem. Lab., helping to keep Freshmen from happiness. Her professional reserve conceals the humor that causes the twinkle in her eyes and the joke at your expense. Only once was her poise shaken — when we found out her middle name. MARY LAWRENCE A.B. Earlham College A.M. Earlham College Miss Lawrence, tho ' small, has a huge working capacity : postmistress, bookseller, bill collector, breakage assessor, trunk checker and com- plaint hearer. We see her putting her iron bound money box to bed in the safe every night and can ' t help speculating about its contents. Never known to have a grouch, no difference how many there are around her.
