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

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.

VIRGINIA MASON CLEMENT Entered '36g Glee Club '36l THIS young lady seems a bit on the shy and quiet side, so reserved we hardly even know her'-but we can guess she isn't so sweet and in- nocent as all that! Virginia knows her way around well enough, having traveled most of her life all over the world fthat's 11ot the only place she's gotten around tol. Her taste is mixed with a little foreign element here and there, giving her that exotic look. VVe're expeeting a torrent of bitter words any minute now between the two competitors' daugh- ters in the class, but they've controlled themselves so farg so let's hope it will last till commence- ment's over. Here's to the winner! GFS DEBORAH CLOUD Entered '3-1: Glee Club '35, '36. '373 Operetta '35, 'SSL Lacrosse Manager '37. DEISISIPI is a problem. If you tried to describe her, she'd change her tactics and we'd have to start all over again-she's an individualist all right! Through her subtle humor you're not quite sure whether she's laughing with you or at you, or whether you're laughing at her, with her, behind her-letis start over again. Beneath her fluttering and ever changing exterior we're sure there is a heart of gold. However, she carries even more valuable jewelry than that. Does the silver D around her neek stand for Debbie or daflie? CAgafn turn to statistiesj Look out, worldg don't say we didn't warn you! Youlre about to suffer an innovation. TZL'I6lIf.Il-flllll'
