Bourne, the class ladies man. l Pil knocks them all dead when he gets on the dance floor. For the way he trips tlhe light fantastic is his supreme creation in the two years he has been here. Tlhe way he saves shoe leather on the dance floor is reallylamazing. Slow but sweet, says he, and he surely ought to know. Pil also drives a Cadillac one-handed remarkably well, too-. However slow and stationary he may be when a dance is in progress, Pil can certainly show what speed and fight are when the gym performs its regular function as a basketball court. Dumlmer has had no better captain and guard than Pil for a long time. This year 'under his leader- ship the team had its best season in four years. Pil is all-so convinced that he can put over the old big league stuff better than any of them. His cheerfulness is a bywordg it is rare indeed when one lfinds him downhearted. He is a loyal member of the Smoking Club, 'but 'he stoops to Lucky Strikes when the majority of that hardened institution are strong for Fatimas. Say, Ham, you ain't seen it? l 26 l

Nort ran quite a restaurant in the Commons for a While. His sign, if he had one might read, Nothing served before lights out. We all used to visit him when hungry, until his playful habit of blowing out fuses put the powers that be on to Mr. Pickering's lit- tle plan of sustaining the starved until the next meal. Nort came back from spring vacation with his head way up in a cloud. It seems he met someone ffemininej who was quite pleasing to the eye. He tries to Write faithfully, and the boys do their best to keep him out of the blues when she's a day late in answeringg but it looks like a case of thinner atmosphere for Nort for some time to come. Nort hu1't his ankle in the early days of the football seasong and al- though it put him off the big team, it couldn't prevent him from playing With the little boys. He took the Junior team, which was badly in need of a coach, and made it what it was last fall. We hope he was satisfiedg the results were certainly gratifying. Nort is another D. S. C. Spec expert, and butt fiend with his choice resting on Lucky Strikes. Another good man gone wrong say the other members of that troublesome institution. I've got to crash one tonight. I 25 l

General Course Entered .School in '24 Preparing for Boston University Chairman Senior Dance Committee 7-Q 27 Football '25, '26 Captain '26 Hockey '26, '27 Track Squad '25, '26 Tennis Team '26, '27 Baseball '25 Smoking Club '26, '27 Hsooti! A man of deeds, not Words. Scot sticks to the maxim that silence is goldeng but When he does speak, his Words are of the highest grade silver. Nevertheless, he made himself heard with marvellous success one night. This silent man from Portland has a pet aversion. It is an extreme dislike for mice, rats, and other night roaming ro-dents. Awakened one night by an astonishing scratching at his door, he raised himself and his voice to their highest possible position and heaved shoes into the darkness. Those in the next room might have been able to account for the noise, but not before Soot used up his vocabulary and ammunition. We think it was cruel to leave a poor little mouse out in the cold that way. We all bow to Soot's prowess as a football player. As a halfback, he is second to noneg and he is the terror of th.e opposition as any linesman that has tried to stop him will testify. He captained the team successfully last season and was one of the high lights of the backfield the year before last. So-ot's Work as a goal guard on the hockey squad was excellent this winter, and he is one of the tennis squad's best players. His Spec ability has not been neglected either. But he has one faulty he would smoke Camels. Got anything to eat, Nort? l27l
