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.

FRANK R. ELLIOTT A.E. Wilmington College B.S. Earlham College A.M. Earlham College A.B. Earlham College A.M. Columbia University Elliott can give the philosophical as well as scientific reasons for the spots on a frog ' s hack. His classes are a complete curriculum in them- selves. His flow of words ripples gently on, punctuated by a subtle joke, but watch closely or you will miss that roguish smile tucked in the corners of his mouth. He says it is a waste of time to argue with a 5-ton truck. HOMER L. MORRIS A.B. Earlham College A.M. Columbia University Prof. Morris is the economist who figures the high cost of breakage in Bundy. His statistics show that re- inforced concrete and armor plate are the cheapest in the long, run for building dormitories. He has almost become converted to the theory that boys will be boys. PAULINE PRITCHARD A.B. Earlham College GERTRUDE BARTEL A.B. Earlham College Lover of Latin, Miss Doan ' s right hand woman, assistant to Prof. Markle. Miss Pritchard moves among us with low voiced greetings and quiet steps. Miss Bartel is a rather exclusive member of the force, being rarely seen. She has a business air which leads one to think that she can not be bothered, but she is never too busy to help a struggling student. LOUIS T. JONES B.Sc. Wilmington College A.M. Kansas University Ph.D. State University of Iowa ALENANDER C. PURDY A.B. Penn College B.D. Hartford Theological Sem. Ph.D. Hartford Theological Sem. One week of Prof. Jones ' assign- ments will convince any Freshman that the good old H. S. days are gone forever. Outside of preaching at two different churches on Sunday, teaching History through the week, and helping with the family wash on Saturday, he lives a life of ease and comfort. His color scheme shows originality and impartiality to hori- zontal or vertical stripes. Prof. Purdy is a fearless holder of convictions. His masterly ser- mons right from the heart hold one spellbound. His goodness radiates to those about him. He possesses a keen sense of humor that the most old fashioned of churchmen can neither resist nor criticize. His is a life that counts — a man at his best.
