NALJTILLJS l937 stmloras ESTHER M. THoMAs Thornton, Rhode Island Science Her large eyes look at you with a royal indifference. Esther might look at me with royal in- difference most of the time, but in Spanish class-ah, that was different. There we had a common bond, so to speak. Esther's look of calm indifference gave way to one of hopeless resignation, which lightened by degrees as the hour passed, and with the ringing of the bell we both banged the covers on Don Quixote and the beau- tiful Dulcinea and grinned at each other with sympathetic comradeship. Ofttimes I've wondered if Esther was not sitting back contemplating, Buddha- like, upon the world and figuring out if possible why we behave like human beings. MARION E. GALLUP Danielson, Connecticut Theology Graduating in January, 1938 In her eyes a thought. Marion is not spectacular. Gently quiet and quietly gentle she goes her way, always gracious, always friendly, with just a hint of wistfulness and sadness. Marion has known sorrow and this knowledge has left its imprint upon her- an imprint vaguely undefinable, but none the less real. A trace of mellow woman- liness? Of sympathetic understanding? Both, I think, are found in her. Marion reminds me of delicate porce- lain, a cup of Chinese rice-ware, say. Nothing flamboyant, nothing spectacular, but charming in its translucent delicacy- a delicacy that denotes true fineness.

l937 .FQ NALITILLIS SENIORS ARVIN A. SCHARER Cleveland, Ohio English When did morning ever break And find such beaming eyes awake! Since Arv has taken unto himself a news aper the above quotation hardly fits, fiat ofttimes morning finds him very much awake-he not yet having gone to bed. Arv certainly deserves an orchid for editing such a splendid paper, which has necessitated numberless hours of work and devotion in the Campy: Camera room. So interested has he become in the various phases of college activities that he doesn't contemplate longer than ten minutes as to which suit he'll wear of a morning, and I haven't seen him twiddle his ears in months. A toy soldier come to lifeda spice geranium-candle flame-Beau Brummel. FLORENCE L. Ssiirn Flushing, New York English An inviting eye, and yet methinks quite modest. Well, well, well, Florence, here we meet again!and this time I shall do the talking. Do you recall Thomas Bailey Aldrich's poem Memory, wherein he for- gets great things like wars and kings, and remembers two petals falling from a wild rose tree? That's what I shall do with your write-up. I shall not mention the many ways in which you've shown your practical ef- ficiency, your spirituality, and your other outstanding qualities. Long after l've for- gotten those great things l'll remember a little hand-made card you sent me when I was sickea card about The Road Bqyoml Tomorroug do you recall it? Truly I am rich in friendships I've made here at E. N. C.

I937 NALJTILLJS stkuoias fGraduating in January, 19385 I WILLIARI W. GARLAND Wollaston, Massachusetts English and History All looks yellow to the jaundiced eye. Bev asked me whom I wished to have do my write-up, hut after thinking over the matter I decided perhaps I'd hetter do it myself. After all, I can't afford to take any chances. I imagine several of my good friends would like to write me up4in fact, several have expressed a desire to string me up! but I'm not one to take chances. I shudder when I think what Ruthie Fader or Parson Bob might say. No, I'll play safe and write my own. Here 'tis. I'm not such an awful had sort after you get to know me. 'CEditor's Note: Mr. Garland is the author of the Senior write-ups.j RUSSELL A. KLEPPINGER Easton Pennsvlvania 7 . Psychology The curious questioning eye that plucks the heart of every mystery. I must tell this on Russ. He was cutting my hair one time long ago and when he got to the shall-I-shave behind-the-ears stage I, being lulled into a false sense of security, told him to go ahead. He shaved the left side and then, with a self-satisfied voice of achievement, acknowledged con- tidingly, D'ya know, this is only the second time I've ever done this? Isn't that like Russell, though? He faces each new problem confidently and says with great self-assurance, Sure, I can do thatufeand goes ahead and does it. Picture: Kleppie unfastening his coin purse to make change for a customer.
