BOULDER 1940 Robert Alexander Hay A jaithjul jriend is the true image of the deity. Watch for a beachwagon full of boys and at night full of girls if you want to find Robert. His delight in moonlit nights — any ht is okay, however — probably accounts for the fact that his Hbfne work is usually incomplete when he arrives at school, so in panish class he has to do his math and so on. Raefield Millard Hicks Virtue is the path of praise. Industrious is the word for Raefield. When he was a small boy he collected newspapers, later he worked on a truck farm, and now he is helping his father construct buildings. This early training will aid him greatly when he becomes a man of the world for he should know how to work hard and efficiently. Band 2, 3, 4. Robert Usher Holden The more a man knows, the less he talks. Bobs name has been one of the most frequent on the special honor roll. He was co-editor of the Red and Gray and took an active part in the French and Latin clubs, serving as Consul in the latter. He has a diversity of hobbies, including in his repertoire flower gardening, airplane modeling, collecting stamps and antiques.

BOULDER 1940 Herbert Edward Halliday Nothing is more valuable to a man than courtesy. Teddy is one of our more prominent senior boys. Beside being vice-president of both the Pep and Glee Clubs he busies himself with athletics.

As for the future, Ted's headed for the University of Washington where he will study forestry.
