AVCAVXXVin JSv CLASS '26 BOOK 3. Mary Alice Clifford So that my life be brave, what though not long? Mary is a girl who is willing to make a bet any time pro- vided she is sure of winning. She became one dollar richer at the time of a well-known ringside affair. Don't ever ask her to pronounce chrysanthemums for she will be sure to stumble over it. Her lack of understanding the question at hand is often the cause of a period long discussion, which event is cordially greeted by the rest of her class- mates. Ellyn Josephine Coates Her voice was honeysuckle sweet It seems hardly credible that a red-haired damsel should combine a demure pensive mien with flaming locks, but this bright light of our class has achieved it. Ellyn is an original spirit in more than the mere spelling of her name and has, indeed, almost a dual personality: for despite her nun-like appearance, she cherishes a fondness for the bright lights of Acadia and the Rainbow Club, and though she is among the C's she occupies a back seat in Room 22, fourth period. Probably in the future Ellyn will appear at the Lyric during her tours of the country, for she has often delighted us with her clever impersonations.

He is an interesting and un- tiring talker and has amused us at football assemblies with his readv good humor. Football (.V4), Glee Club, Debating Club (4). Arne William Cooke Marks may rise and marks may fall. But mine are high forever Arne is just one of the class who studies, works, and has a good time, too. He studies at H.

He is a marked man on the street because of his height and his Boston bag. 16
