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.

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.

NALJTILLIS I937 SENIQRS CGt'aduatir1g in anuary 1938 EUNICE S. LEVENS Newport, Rhode Island Theology There are eyes half defiant. Wild strawberries - sage tea - Lady Rowena polishing brassgyellow water- lilies-clouded amber. Eunice begged me not to mention a certain blond young man in het write-up and so sweetly did she plead that I'll say nary a word about him-nor will I make mention of the oversized portrait she has of him. Rest easy, Eunice, your wishes will be respected. Being an assistant dean hasn't dampened Eunice's light-heartedness, albeit she couples it with a sweet, womanly dignity -and a trace of feminine curiosity. Don't misunderstand me. From her honest eyes of blue shines spirituality, shines seriousness of purposeg shines gentle- ness of spirit-shines the soul of noble womanhood. RUTH E. MooRE Warren, Pennsylvania Biological Science Eyes so transparent, That through them one sees the soul. Faithful, persevering Ruth. What shall we say of her? Those of us who have as- sociated with her through the past few years have often been put to shame by the sight of her industriously tracing the nervous system of a mudworm. Put an amoeba on one end of a micro- scope and Ruth on the other, and you have a picture of a perfectly contented science student. Too, Ruth is famous for her parties which are so enjoyable that those fortu- nate enough to be invited just can't break away, even though the bugaboo of the re- tiring hour hangs over them. May your paths lead into pleasantplaces, Ruth, paths of contentment and peace.
