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

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.

Twenty-iwo MARGARET BURNS CARSON Entered '24g Glee Club '35, '36, '37: Hockey '35g Gym '35, '36, '37. WHEN it comes to doing impossible tricks in gym class, Miggie always manages to emerge the winner-maybe because of her bow-legs fshe always was fond of riding and dude ranchesj. But her athletics never snoiled that look of being Winsome, sweet and dimpling, so innocent to see. But don't let her fool you-there's more iniquity and deviltry penned up inside her than you could imagine. That giggle and that meaning look, which have been known throughout the class for some time, don't go very well together. However, it seems that those studying the science of vision donit need glasses themselves in order to see what she is, if Weire not mistaken! GFS JOSEPH ALBERT DAVIS Enter'd '31: Soccer. Manager '36: Basket- ball Manager '37, Dance Committee '37. THIS handsome brute joined our ranks back in 7th grade, and Mr. Platt,.whose nicknames have a. peculiar way of sticking, called him Spud, after a big league ball player Cno, no other resem- blancej. Now Spud is one of the mauling types, otherwise known as a Cwoj manhandler. If you're not on guard he'll tear you to pieces, so keep up your left. Eighty percent of the time his face matches his hair-tska, tska, Joseph, youlll have to over- come this, it's a stumbling block in your path to the successfulihandling of the fair sex. Spud has a u11ique way of writing illegible as- sembly game-notices fbut he does write them, which is more than anyone else doesj, and an un- intelligible way of muttering when he reads them, but somehow the idea is usually gotten across. He's one of these heroic types who will do any- thing you dare him to. so be careful, or youlll find yourself guilty of killing or of any other offence.
