19 4 3 BOULDER CLASS OFFICERS Roderic Amro Hyatt With me for your guide, ye men, dispel your anxious cares. Dignity, poise, and personality have made Pete a popular and successful president. Although he had an injured knee and could not participate in strenuous sports, Pete enjoyed hunting and watching the more active sports.

Since machines, have always fascinated him, Pete plans to become a navy machinist. Football 2 Class President 3, 4 Bend Sales and Junior Victory Committee Thanksgiving and Senior Prom Ticket Committee Seneca Perry Congdon Gee, but I'm a busy man! Perry was one of the lucky ones who started in at Tufts in January. We missed his wise-cracking and joking which helped make him so popular as our class treasurer. On the serious side, Perry's ability to get results in all that he did, will probably carry him far in the future. He was particularly interested in dramatics, dancing, swimming, eating, talking, and any class activity.
