HER laugh Qwe wouldn't call it a gentle snicker, eitherj is contagious to anyone within two 1niles around. She gets the most consuming desires to do things fusually pertaining to calsthenicsj then goes at it with a pep, vim, and vigor, which is only sustained by numerous trips to l.eedom's. But in the end, she usually attains her goal Cyou guessed it, that's what she guarded on the hockey teamj. Betty's Cl5att'n to youj longest obsession has been that blue tin thing which is usually jammed to overdowing with hilarious girls whom she generally carts to their destinationsg but even when they're not there, she always has her black dog and the red sweater to keep her company. May she never lose her joviality, and never grow husky with 'igel GFS BARBARA BACON BEURY Entered '24: Glee Club '35, '36, '37: Operetta '35, '3G: BLUE AND WHITE Board: Pas- torian Board '37, Elocution Contest '35, '36, '37: Dance Committee '37: Hockey '37, Vol- leyball '36. EN'EN if no one else can get near this celebrity in years to come when they knock hopefully on the stage door, we're going to demand a reception -or at least some front row seats at a premier or two. Even now there is quite a rush for the first benches in the assembly when Miss Beury is billed to appear. We can clearly vision the day when the Germantown Theatre Guild four star's favorite hangoutj will be boasting of the part it played in the shaping and molding of a great actress. She has more than one talent, however -in fact, once in her youth she was going to be an opera singer. Like most artists shds a bit temperamental- one minute shouting with joy, making faces and mimicking people, the next her mouth's down at the corners in gloom from disappointment or half- imagined abuse by her classmates. You'll have to refer to the statistics for her private life-and there's plenty of it! But even if she does seem a little moonstruck at times, all is forgiven, for she really is pretty nice.

PHYLLIS BARBA Entered ,255 Glee Club '36, '37. HFIR autobiography was too good to be true, but we do sympathize with her for not wanting to be taken over the coals too much. Of course, we wouldnit know, but 'she has a rep. of having a very smooth attack presumably in a rumble seat. Apparently this has become a boomerang, for, while being sutllcient to attract older ones, it left her in the lurch when they went off to college. Having only the small fry now, she has become utterly bored with life in general, and tries her best to be cynical and sarcastic. But her subtle wise-cracks and great fondness mixed with inces- sant chatter, save her from any comedown by her classmates. Maybe it's that debutante slouch, her Irish eyes, and goodwill toward all which do the trick. Our advice might be- lie good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever. GFS OWEN CHAMBERLAIN Entered ,345 Glee Club '36g Operetta '36: Baseball Manager '37. AH, but Franky, stein- and so be most persuasivelv ding scientist. Just explain the principle my dear, according to Ein- another theory is about to f?l expounded bv our bud- ask Professor Bird-legs to behind a coherer or merely mention the electrostatic forces, then settle your- self in a comfortable chair for an interesting CU hour. VVhy does Owen put so much wear and tear on his hands, and how do they manage to withstand it? VVe feel that it must give him consolation in times of stress. And who can forget that inimitable smile in times of satisfaction such as when he has just confounded Mr. Breininger CFD or when he has just successfully made a conquest with some pick- ups? VVe've yet to find the physics problem that will stump Owen. He says he is going to give Mr. Bennett an A-in that course this month.

MARGARET BODINE Entered '24, Class Treasurer '36g BLUE AND VVHITE Board: President B.T.C. '33, '34, '35, Athletic Uouncil '33: Vice-President '36g President '37g Lacrosse '34, '36: Co-Captain '35g Hockey 35, '36, Captain '37, Basket- ball '34, '35, '36: Tennis '35, 36. BODIE will decidedly do for the class philoso- pher fwith a few other classes thrown in for good luckj. More fierce arguments have been caused by some of her peculiar ideas, than could be caused hy the entire class. After you've gotten nowhere from an hour's talking, she adds in a seemingly trivial tone, Oh, well, I just wanted to convince myself I wasn't right. This is forgiv- able, but when it comes to her sense of humor! Her puns are a little too much to be endured even in polite society! Uh, yes, we'd better mention her office for three years as president of the B.'l'.C. club, which gave the honorable class of '37 its name. C011 yeah? '1'hat's what the girls think.l Bodie's likes and dislikes are too numerous to mention here, she's a lady of decided opinions and not fickle about expressing them. GFS WILLIAM MORRIS DAVID, JR. Entered '24: Glee Club '35, '36, '3T: Treas- urer '3T: Operetta '35, '36: Football '36Z Baseball '36, '37: Business Manager Pastorian '37g Business Manager BLUE AND WHITE: Ring Committee '36, THE Orange Cleaners have hired a man to follow Bill wherever he goes and continually remind him of their easy payment plan, just as a gentle hint that that all-purpose coat of his is mostly tomato soup. VVe strongly suspect that if all the spots were removed, there would be no coat left. Be that as it may, Bill's appearance seems to he good enough to impress the younger co-eds of our school or to persuade unsuspecting firms to waste their money on BI.l'I1 Axim wvliI'FI4Z ads, for which thankless task we owe him something. Frank and Owen have offered to install a tele- phone in his tremendous Buick, but on second thought they decided his voice, via his nasal organs, would easily carry twice that far. Trceufy-0110
