THOMAS SETH BARKER, Jr. 445 WEST DALTIMORE AVENUE, MEDIA, PA I EXIST for most of vou only as a rumor and a flitting shadow, for a day student ' s life is always shrouded in mystery. You see me in the chem lab occasionally, dehing into the secrets of decomposed vegetable matter; you observe my dexterity in snipping buckshot at members of my German class; I can drink warm milk with equanimity; but you don ' t know anything more about me! You must respect a man who gets up at 6:15 in the interests of higher education, and who has done it for four years, regularly and without interruption: my stamina must be unlimited. If you knew me better, you ' d know that my means of preparing for exams is communion with nature: in the spring and fall with a fishing-rod, in the winter with traps and snares. I was born October lo, 1915, and entered from Westtown School. At college I majored in Chemistry. [ i

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]

KENNETH ANTRIM BECK 3315 TILDEN STREET, PHILADELPHIA, PA I USUALLY hide my light under a bushel of math books, and rarely exhibit my form except in pole-vaulting. To those who fear the terrors of the termited tomes I should like to unfold a new personality. Always in good humor, the only thing to provoke even a trace of indignation is the dearth of legible script among the Rhinies whose math papers I help correct. When you think of me, you usually think of Kelly, and it is difficult to separate the two. Me and Kelly dashing into class fifteen minutes late, explaining that the bus wasn ' t on time. Me and Kelly spending all night on accounting. Me and Kelly in the observatory taking sun pictures. Thus abideth these three math majors — me, Kelly, and Frysinger; but the greatest of these is me. I was born August 11, 191 5, and entered from the William Penn Charter School. I majored in Mathematics, and my activities in- cluded: Track i, 1, 3, 4; Secretary of the Mathematics Club 4. [ ]
