THE PORTICO THOMAS MOODY PARAMANANDAM India , A.B.-PHILOSOPHY Whose armor is his honest thought and simple truth his utmost shellf' Mr. Paramanadam comes to us from Pasadena, California, where he completed the first three years of his college work. And, incidentally, he came to Pasadena straight from his native India. We have tried hard to make Mr. Paramanadam feel at home in America, but it is not at all difficult to see that his heart is in his home land. We have all enjoyed the missionary chapel talks which he has given us from time to time, and we have watched with sympathy and appreciation as his eyes lighted up and that quick smile flashed across his face While he talked so eagerly of going home. , . ,.., EDNA CHARLOTTE DICK Kylertown, Pennsylvania A.B.-EDUCATION 'Tor she is just the quiet kind Whose nature never variesf, Secretary Medical Societyg Secretary Bowne Philosophical Society, Student Teacher. Edna goes briskly about her own business, letting few people know what is be- hind the student we see in the class room. That student is reliable, conscientious, well-poisedg one whom the professor can count on. Nothing seems to distract her or disturb the evenness of her mind. Vlfhen she recites with her pleasant voice and well- chosen words, we respect her knowledge. Yet she displays another side of her nature in her freer hours. She is friendly in spite of her reserve, and at times-would you believe it-almost reckless in her humor. Always alert, always busy, equipped with just those abilities which will make her a successful teacher. As she goes out to take up her profession, we wish her the best success. 20

THE PORTICO JOHN FOSTER WELWOOD Richmond Hill. New York A.B.-THI-:o1.ocY Rep0se and cfzcerfulness are llze badges of cz g6lllI6l1lIllI.,- Treasurer Freshman Classy Advertising Staff Nautilus '31g Student Council '33, '34g Treasurer Bowne Phil. So- ciety '33g Male Quartet '33, '34. When we first knew John we thought he was unusually quiet. but he certainly had a surprise in store for us. He surely can see the funny side of life, and what is evcn more interesting, he almost always sees the joke when he wants to look serious. Wie will leave you to guess what happens then. He is good company, and good fun. If you want further proof of this ask the remaining members of the E. N. C. Radio Quartet. Now, lest we leave you with the wrong impression, let us say that ,lohnls sense of humor newer conflicts with his testimony. The consistency of his Christian life has won our confidence and we have every reason to believe that he will be suc- cessful as he enters the ministry. MARY TGLORINE STEVENS Sumner, Iowa A.B.-ENGLISH LITERATURE ufllcelr and mild, bu! a true friend to all. If vou only know Clorine as she goes about the campus with her reserved and studious manner, then you don't know her. True, she recites ably in low- well-modu- lated tones, seldom parts with a book. and takes advantage of all the library hours. The way she has carried her very heavy course is indeed admirable. But she came to us here at E. N. C. only this year. and perhaps you havenlt heard her fling out some saucy remark or seen her tease some classmate in a most unruly fashion! There is a modest type of gayety which occasionally crops out from beneath usually lady-like behavior. Perhaps the latter quality was acquired when she taught school out in lowa. At any rate, we are sure that with her perseverance and serious purpose she is well fitted to teach English as she has chosen to do. 19

THE PORTICO l WILLIS EDWARD WEAVER z Grand Rapids, Michigan A.B.--THEoLocY '6He is a rich man who hath God for a friend? Vice-President of Evangelistic Association ,33j Chaplain of Oxford Literary Society '33, Conscientious-perhaps that one word characterizes Willis as no other word could. He is a conscientious student, and a conscientious Christian. To those who are not particularly well acquainted with him he may appear dignified and reserved, but frequently he surprises us all with an unexpected flash of dry humor which is all his own. He is always quick to champion the cause of anyone who happens to be in need, and his sympathies are usually enlisted on the side of the loser. Both Mr. Weaver and his wife are line singers, and they expect to enter the ministry together. ROBERTA EVANGELINE CLOUGHER Johnston, Rhode Island A.B.-ENGLISH LITERATURE uHer air, her smile, her motions, Told of womanly completeness. College Life Editor Nautilus '31. Who would guess from Robin's quiet, serene bearing in the library that so much originality and sparkling wit was bubbling just beneath the surface? How- ever, those of us who have been with her in classes have learned to approach any clash of opinions warily, for her emphatic statements are generally so cleverly spoken that we feel discomforted even though reason land logic! may be on our side. In writing, as in class discussion, Robin expresses exactly what she thinks, in no uncertain terms. And since she seems a bit undecided as to her future we would suggest that as a familiar essayist she would supply a long-needed tonic to American literature. Robin enjoys her studies but is not at all a book worm. You will find her on the basketball floor playing or in the sidelines cheering, with the same vivacity and erthusiasm which she evinces in classroom arguments. Whatever her future occupa- tion may be, we predict an interesting time for her associates. 21
