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.

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

CAROLYN CHERRY Entered '35, Glee Club '35, '36, '37, Oper- eita BECAUSE she is one of the most unassuming girls of the class, we ean't piek out any vices to write about Carol Cexeept dimplesj, but surely. she's not quita all virtue! It's decidedly not that she ean't be lively, or talk and laugh, but her voiee, being ever sweet and low, gives the impres- sion that she isl more quiet and timid than she really is. You'd think her patience might be tried by her more boisterous comrades, but she always appears as calm and serene as ever, with nary a hair out of place, even if she doesn't feel that wav. GFS KARL de SCHWEINITZ, JR. Entered '24, Glee Club '35, '36, '37, Secretary '36, Operetta '35, '36, Class President '34: Alzebra Award '35, Baseball '35, '36, '37, Soccer '35, '36, Captain '36, Basketball '36, '37, Captain '37, Athletic Council '34, '36, '37, Secretary '36, Pastorian Board '35, '36, '37, BLUE AND VVHITI-: Board. OH Pagliaeeil' Immortal strains! Uh cruel fates, what have I done to deserve this? Immortal plaintl I feel about as ambitious as King Kong. Immortal indolence! Things have a habit of attaching themselves to Karl, so that they become his particular property. VVho could fail to guess the author of the above utterances? But enough of this prittlin 'n prat- tlin'. Karl has many serious interests, one of them symphonies. Another is the basketball floor, and the local press appears with whirl-wind write-ups of Art Smith's Giant Center. Clly the way, we meant to ask that editor his fees.j Under strong pressure, we resist the temptation of mentioning Milwaukee, leaving that in com- petent hands elsewhere in this book. See, Karl, our record's clean anyhow! 1 aenfu three
