of our all-round girls. l-ler faTal beauTy won her renown as our l942 Homecoming Queen, Though she mighf also have been known as The Blond Blifz of Comsfock Field. Sarah is always There when help is needed, and she can pull anyone ouT of a TighT spof before he knows whaT's hap- pened. Lonnie Freebairn is anoTher one of The preaching members of our class. In keep- ing wiTh his preaching, he's one Casanova dileTTanTe who aTTended Family class. Libby Reynolds is everyone's friend, including The Armed Forces, whose morale she keeps high wiTh flighTs of V-mail. And They also benefiT from her efficiency as home eco- nomisT in The form of delicious home-made fudge. EI Evans is a dashing figure on The hockey field or baskeTball floor and can she churn The wafer in The swimming pool! EI is noT only a sfar in Tunic, buT she is also a champ in The classroom. IT you need sympafhy look for El. When Bundymen gaThered in unusual numbers in The Gyp Shop, you could be sure ThaT Duke was eifher pushing a new sale or enferfaining The boys wiTh his varied and unending reper- Toire of aah . . . sfories. Buf Duke was really aT his besf in The Thick of a Tough scrap for a baskefball, or racing Through The Tackle on The gridiron. l-le's The Tough- esT, sTringiesT, scrappiesT player Earlham's seen in many a day. Now Gussie has al- ways been The mosT volaTile, versafile mem- ber of The class of '43 - always on hand To lead a cheer in his inimiTable fashion, or To raise our spiriT aT a pep rally, picnic

Our varsiTy goalie, lVlarTy lvlerriTT, is noT only an aThleTe, she also has had an exTensive execu- Tive career wiTh The PrecedenT CommiTTee, PosT, Sargasso and many oTher organiza- Tions, besides lceeping The keys To Geneva. We saw EmmeT STegall, one oT Earlham's mosT eligible bachelors, sTarT ouT as an En- glish maior and change inTo an accomplished musician almosT overnighT. And EmmeTT seems aT home in eiTher medium: Goddard's sTage will TesTiTy To his musical and drama- Tic TalenT displayed Tor Tour years before The Army caughT up wiTh him. l-lere we have BiTTen Bowen, philosopher oT sorTs, who Tinally hiTched wiTh her philosopher Triend, Freddy l-lanes, in The summer oT '42. She sTarTed The chiclcenl epidemic-re- member? Joe Payne seldom sTepped ouT oT his role oT class poliTician unTil his senior year, when iT ran close second To a newly developed coed underTal4ing. DebaTer and republican, one oT Prexy's inTimaTes, Joe had a neaT way oT Tallcing himselT ouT oT a TighT spoT, and we all remember his plead- ing voice wiTh iTs many crescendos. Loolc Tor BeTsy Ross when you hear WhaT's The dirT, lvlyrT? She has oTTen been on hand To welcome The new Freshmen, and holds down a iob ThaT brings in a loT oT coin- cashier aT brealcTasT-where she caTches up on The laTesT novels. Any class would be proud To have an aThleTe lilce Rex An- derson in one oT The Three sporTs in which he so successTully compeTed. No one will TorgeT The Thrill oT waTching Rex run The high hurdles, race Tor a Touchdown, or sinlc an impossible shoT Trom a melee beneaTh The baslceT.

or bonlire. ln any class lunclion, you could counl on Gussie's being llie life ol Hue par+ . Wilma Fessler would be Jrlie an- swer +o a business man's prayer - elllicienl slenograplier and accounlanl de luxe willw a boundless supply of energy. Pally Bond's liands seem lo be deslined lo wrile lime fragile lyrics Thai skie composes. And lfier wry liumor, or an occasional de- laclwmenl, go well willw lwer sell-composure. We're convinced llial lvlarcus l-ladley is pixilaled, and we ollen envy liim lor il. l-laving cauglwl liim being serious, we know lfie can be, bul liis good liumor is always a deliglillul memory. We all liked Jolinny lvlills because lie liad a good sense ol liu- mor, and l'ie look lwis work and play seri- ously. Jolinny was an old wlieelliorse on +l'ie maroon line for four years and a clean consislenl player on llrie baskelball floor. Lislen for boogie-woogie al odd liours ol llwe day and you'll probably discover biol- ogy-ben'r Pickle on llie ivory. Slwe keeps llfie girls on l'ier floor well enlerlained willn lier wil, and we undersland Anne's a masler of rlwe genlle arl ol reparlee. lvlucli as slwe loves Earllwam, Gene Smillw seems lo liave a soil spoi lor weekends in lier liome lown. Sl1e's versalile, a capable oiciicer, a liome economisl, and a dependable allw- lele. As a bridge sliark we recommend Dagwood Vail. Easy going and reliable, lie could be counled upon lo lend a lwelp- ing lfiand 'ro any commillee clwairman on llie verge of breakdown.
