ELEANOR B. PRETTYMAN NO ONE has ever heard of Boggs losing her digf nity. She is just about the only member of thc Senior class who does not take the stairs two or three at a time, or shout in the halls-in fact, she is something of a model senior. She is famous for her individualism, makes all her own sweaters, which never sag or bag unattractively, and are always bright and colorful. Quiet, reserved, and almost never absent, she is indeed a faithful member of our clan. Boggs is just about the only one in the class who attends the historyfmaking Haverford Saturday evening dances. Can it be that the rest of us are losing our grip? Although you are uncertain ref garding your future, Boggs, we wish you good luck in whatever you do, and here's hoping you make lots of swell friends everywhere. Entered lst. Glee Club 1lth,12th. F all ' H JN ' LUNG ' . hw. QLX Z J. WILSON MYERS PROBABLY not many years from now we will look back on Will as the genius of abstract theories. However, we don't have to look far ahead to see his name topping the list of honors in the scientific journals. ln fact. some day one of his theories might revolutionize something, and that's what we're afraid of. Can't you see every teacher on the Eastern coast turned into a purple dragon? lt's nice to see Will under his car, or on his bicycle working with something he claims is not abstract. No matter what he says, if you plan to ride with him, also be planning to push with your feet through a hole in the floor. However, we're sure the boys at college will enjoy him as much as we have.

r,,v,,,?,, ELIZABETH MILLER l IF you ever want a good laugh hunt up Betty-f you will hoth hear and get one. She has the most marvelous sense of humor imaginahle, so ahundant is it that seeing Betts collapsed in a chair with tears streaming down her cheeks, and hearing her orig- inal, accompanying squeak is not a rare thing. Partly due to this, partly hecause she is a good listener fdon't get us wrong, she's a good talker, too! lj, hut mostly hecause she is always ready to sympathize with anyone on any suhject, she is a wonderful person to have around. Way hack in Sth grade she used to worry ahout her gangly tallf ness and straight hair. Now. we wonder why, for Betty's appearance rates with us, and we'll remem- lwer this goodflookin' gal.

Qs W or lla MARGARET McPHEDRAN MARC is certainly an ohliging person, and will do almost anything for you just for th: asking fafter the proper amount of groaningj. She's quiet hut always has the answers, and is one of those people who love the arts, including the Rodin Mu' seum. In fact, we are often amazed hy the remarks Marg comes out with. She admits sh: can't sing. hut is an ardent listener of Bach and Brahms, and she loves to read poetry. Another favorite pastime is sailing, far removed from the works of Virgil and Van Gogh. Her family is wonderful, and if you haven't spent a weekfend at the Mcl'hedran's, you've missed something. Marg's a great girl, and we're very fond of her. i Entered lst. Roberta lar' din Award.

JOSEPH S OECHSLE OECHSLE-Where have I heard that name be- fore? Oh, yes, that big bruiser who used to come through the left side of the line like the 8:42 Limited. Joe certainly tore that line apart like a cannonball, but is by no means limited to football. He brandishes an accurate pencil where Physics is conf ccrncd, and is endowed with an aptitude for heavy drama. For relaxation he lectures on the mishaps of Livingston in darkest Africa, and explores dewy sea bottoms with his own equipment. joe worries unnecessarily about his nose detraeting from his appeal, for from many sources, especially feminine, comes the comment, Nice, isn't he? fflftffwe Entered Kindevgarimi. 0 Athletic Council 10lli,ll1li. i Pastorian llth.

Secondly it goes beautifully with her witty humor. But in spite of it, we suspect from various revealing clues that she really has a very tender heart. Ginny won't admit any ambition except a hankering to fly, but we have a suspicion that in the not too distant future she will be either a Wiuniaii in White clutching a scalpel in her slender fingers, or an Angel of Mercy soothing fevered brows. Anyhow, whatever she decides that she wants we know she will get, because she's as obstinate and determined as the proverbial mule Entered lst. Tot Lots.
