many cars and romances-but a truly real football player, remember Phil Smith -honorable mention All-State! Tracy trumpets our Senior year as class president. Any hour of the day-at chapel, dishwashing, E. H. Office, and the perpetual jibe is going strong. Here's the ambitious fellow, Tracy, several businesses on the side, many responsible positions f and some irresponsible onesl , and he sees them through with determination.

Gordon, the Deacon, has been undecided as to what his vocation should be, and has changed his mind so far every semester. Dottie Reeder-all round college girl-whose interests include sports, dramat- ics, literature, and anything Earlham, is a jolly bundle of joy who always sees the right side of everything and the best in everyone.
