closs officers CHARLES KREIDER, B.A. Wadsworth, Ohio Physical Science, Biological Science President Small, but able to carry responsibility, an unobtrusive leader-that's Charlie. Civen something to do, it is done directly and with ability. His good judgment and initiative have made him a capable and efficient personage on our campus. Nature -birds, animals, flowers-is his specialty. We have h:re a combination of business and friendliness, a serious mind, yet a lively and energetic nature. Plans for next year: Teaching. Class Vice-Pres. III, Pres. IV, Y.M.C.A. Cab. III, IV, C.W.B. I, II, IV, Pres, III, Peace Soc., Treas. III, Vice-Pres. IV, Audu- bon Soc. Ill, Treas. IV, Adelphian, Sec. Il, Critic III, Pres.

MARTHA PLANK Harrisonburg, Virginia French Secretary A will to do, a quiet capability, a hearty laugh: they are all Marty's. Haste is the one word lost from her vocabulary. Always busy, but never in a hurry, she neither wastes time nor crowds it too full of unnecessary action. One is attracted to her by her friendly smile, which is as well known as her laughter. Studious, capable, unruffled is Marty. Plans for next year: Homekeeping Class Sec. IV, Y.W.C.A. Cab. III, IV, C.W.B. I, II, III, IV, Foreign Vol. Band III, Peace Soc. III, Sec.

WILLIAM FRIESEN, B.A. Dhamtari C.P., India Music, English Vice-Presid:nt Some personalities must be searched for, others cannot be hid. Their striking char- acteristics are clearly visible. Musical, artis- tic, literary, clever, and sincere, Bill exhibits an unusual array of talents. He is probably best know for his excellent bass voice, with which he grumbles on the low notes left untouched by others. His ready wit has been welcomed on many occasions. It would al- most be sufficient to say four-square . Plans for next year: Attend Westminster Choir School. Class Treas. II, Vice-Pres. IV, Gospel Team Il, III, IV, Cer. Club II, III, IV, Audubon Soc.

Ill, IV, Music Club, Vice-Pres. III, Pres. IV. PAUL A. KAUFMAN, B.A. Portland, Oregon Physical Science, Mathematics Treasurer Why not be original? The unusual has arrested the attention of those who value variety in life. Qufetness is not an indica- tion of inactivity. When not searching for an unusual picture to take, Paul is deciding upon some unusual trick to play. He is fond of his camera, and is interested and efficient in photography. When working, he is care- ful, quiet, and steady-never too busy to do his best. Plans for next year: Research Work. Class Treas. I, IV, C.W.B. III, IV, Cos- pel Team IV, Cer. Club IV, Audubon Soc.

AGNES CRIPE, B.A. Goshen, Indiana Mathematics, History What would we do without our Wash- ingtons and our Lincolns? What would we do without our rivers and forests? What would we do without the students who at- tend our schools with a sincerity and a true purpose which causes them to flourish? The values hidden in attitudes desirous of receiving every benefit from the work un- dertaken are worthy of acknowledgement. The diligent student is appreciated, and with him rests the responsibility of the con- tinuity of our colleges. Plans for next year: Teaching high school. Vesperian, Treas. III, Women's Declama- tion II. RUTH EBERSOLE, B.S. in Ed. Elkhart, Indiana English, History Music, art, and literature provide mate- rials for building a most interesting life. Ruth is talented in all, and finds time and pleasure in contributing where she is able. A keen sense of beauty and color is given expression in her many drawings and paint- ings. What dull moments there may be in her life are wiped away by what some call the gift of gab . Others would prefer to say Ioquacity . Plans for next year: Teaching in either elementary or high school. Class Sec. I, Ill, Y.W.C.A. Cab. IV, C.W.B. Ill, Sec. IV, Peace Soc. III, Sec, IV, Ed. Club Il, III, Fr. Club I, Audubon Soc. Il, IV, Sec. III, Avon, Pres. IV, Vice- Pres.

IOHN DUERKSEN, B.A. Kingman, Kansas Bible, English One whose maior interest is founded on Christian activity, and whose desire is to further Christian principles cannot but be welcome, Iohn's energy and perseverance quickly won for him a place on the campus, although he has been here a relatively short time, He is a kind, sympathetic, and helpful friend. Ready response and accurate per- formance are combined to form a worth- while career. Plans for next year: Post-graduate work in Bible. Y,M.C.A. Cab. IV, C.W.B. Ill, Pres.

IV, Music Club, Treas, IV. IUSTINE ENSS, B.A. Detroit, Michigan Music, History Violins can speak! And when we hear, we cannot but admire the skill behind that voice which is able so readily to change our mood. We appreciate the ability to a greater degree when it is within our own group, Yet, lustine's talent does not lie alone with her music, as the basketball forward who has been guarded by her well knows. Friendliness and refinement define her char- acter. Ambition pushes her goal always high- er, and although the task of reaching it may be difficult, conscious effort must suc- ceed.
