BRUCE AMBLER WOODLAND IIOAD AND CLOVERLY LANE, ABINGTON, PA I ACCOMPLISHED the feat of lowering my general average twenty- two points at one crack once, but I should hesitate to say whether this was due to mv love for football or to the company I keep. Cer- tainly, for once, there was no woman at the bottom of it all. My quick smile and Hvah, kid are even better known than my favorite brown leather jacket and moccasins. But I have one woe; for three years T have tried to dance on mv toes, but so far I have never gotten off the balls of my feet. So now, when the noise of passing footsteps outside the entry disturbs my concentration, I seek relaxation in Benny Goodman, glad to abandon my closely reasoned phil papers yet another time. I was born September 18, 1915, and entered from the William Penn Charter School. I majored in Chemistry, and mv activities included: Football letters 1, , 4; Beta Rho Sigma. 19

WILLIAM WILLIAMS ALLEN, III 41 SOUTH WOODLAND AVENUE, WOODBURY, N.J. SENIORS gasped and Freshmen fainted on that crisp October after- noon in 1935: the only Junior manager in the Middle Atlantic soccer league had just appeared on the scene smoking a long, black, fragrant cigar. Who won the game is already forgotten, but me and my stogie will remain forever graven in your memories. It was the start of a meteoric career, for my flair for the spectacular soon led me into new fields. Junior year I understudied Bobby Gawthrop as chief Hoppy-heckler at varsity basketball games, and for 1936-37 I was head boo-leader in my own right. Visiting teams, referees, and Edgar brothers are still looking for me, the moon-faced master of the Bronx cheer, who vanished so quickly after every game. I was born on October 3 , 1916, and entered from Westtown School. I majored in Government. Among my activities were: Soccer Manager 3, 4; Business Manager, Record 4; Founders Club 3; News i, 1, 3, 4. 18]

HOWARD ASTON ANDREWS 480 SOUTH RIVER STREET, WILKES-BARRE, PA. I AM a master amateur. At Girard College I drilled cadets. At Haverford I sang in the Glee Club, taught thankful janitors, and developed surprisingly as an English major. Long will I be remem- bered for my diligence. I held every job. I stoked furnaces. I walked poodles. I typed faculty letters. But the excellence of my typing was far outdone by the excellence of my personal life. You hardly recog- nized the force behind me until I began to propagate the Oxford Group in Haverford and Bryn Mawr. And because of the latter enterprise I became extremely popular, especially before each dance; for if the Group could not convert, it could at least provide blind dates for prospects. In play, as in religion, I am the unquenchable optimist. I was born on July 12., 1915. I entered from Girard College and majored in English. Activities: Glee Club i, 1, 4; Cap and Bells 4. xo]
