George Aldridge. George has been nick named tlie (jijose, why isn ' t exactly known. He explains it in his own way: Well, why is a circus fat man called ' Slim ' ? At any rate the Jersey sage holds forth regularly, con- linualK , and .uitliDiitat i i ' l - on bridge and baseball. Let ' s deal the [ilacards for a while, lellow s. I ' m the best darn bridge placer this college ever had. I think I ' ll gi e a course on the Aldridge system. Say, did I ever tell ou boys what a wonderful right fielder the White Sox have? ' Phis may go on more or less indeli- niteK ' depending on how much time he can spare awav from that lil)rar ' alcovi ' , his second home. Generally about this time his colleagues contemplate washing the rosy- cheeked Goose down the drain. He concludes the discourse with some remark about visiting a certain fair-haired duchess this week-end. In his more serious moments he monopolizes a library alcf)ve. Alter he makes his mark in this world a plaque will undoubtedly be placed in this corner stating, He did it here. Warren Anderson. Walk into Warren ' s room of an e ening and you ' re likely to see him, sprawled Roman-like over his bed, read- ing Sappho or the Litterae Hominum ()b- scurorum. Or, ])erhaps, he ' s finishing off the prelude to that slightK ' unpla al)le chromatic- fugue. Whatever he ' s doing, he ' s likely to tell you all about it. And by now we can ha e no doubt as to the extent of his erudition. Fenc- ing, fantastic schedules of five hours a week, Spengler, arranging nmsic for the (dee Club, occasional ( orp scholarships, give some indication of his many, and esoteric, activi- ties. What we like best about Warren is his unerring selection of le mot juste. We remember once when, in his capacitv as Supervisor of the Music Room, he returned from Philadelphia with such novel record additions as Adieu Sweet Amarillis, Maidens Fair of Mantua ' s Citv, and selections from the first jazz opera of Krenek. Our comments on which drew the devastating, ( ad, sir, you can ' t pla - Beethoven every day.

Charles Abbott. During his college career, Charlie established the impressive record of being the first person in the dining room every day — rain or shine — morning, noon, and night. Whether it was his regu- larity and promptness or his love of eating, it is hard to say. Probably these two qualities also led him to the Co-op where he ultimately became manager and almost achieved the Her- culean task of bringing the store out of the red. A Quaker from the country somewhere near I anghorne, Chuck arrived at Haverford to spend his Rhinie year with Adams Kay Inc., in third entry. After moving to Found- ers where he could keep an eagle eye on the Co-op, he retired in his senior year to South Barclay with Charlie Schaeffer, another solid up-countr - boy. Charlie never created much disturl:ance. He went about his work quietly and good-naturedly, whether it be as Circulation Manager of the News or squinting through a mi- croscope in the Bug lab. Dependable Charlie liked nothing better than to let out one of those deep-throated resonant laughs. James Neal Addoms. We have always looked upon Neal as a solemn and dignified chap who lived in Lloyd Hall for four years and e ' ery one of those years managed to snare a Corporation Scholarship — a fact that in itself is enough to make us wonder some- times about our little life. It turns out on further examination that Neal does many (jlher things beside study, and remember we many an envious prom evening when our James would toddle in, togged out in all his finery, and place himself gently but firmly in the very midst of the gaiety. The sciences have always captured his somewhat non- mercurial fancy more than anything else, and he has made a fine thing of them. Which is not to say that w c have never heard of Neal getting hilarious at a football game or chewing garlic au gratin in the center-bleachers. Well-rounded per- sonality is one of those expressions to be avoided wherever possible since it frequently applies to someone who can do most things in mediocre fashion. With Jamie, however, the expression carries more weight, and his serious nature is topped off with a keen sense of humour— a phenomenon which will, to our minds, inevitably place him in the hierarchy of Those Who Will Suc- ceed. Bonne chance, Aniigo, and ma ' never that golden bowl be broken!

Dick Bauer. Dick is one of those enviable ( liaracters who led the complete life while in this intellectual rat ' s nest. Knocking down an average that was more than respect- able and grasping a big gob of the extra- curricular pie, Dickie also burst out in 1 )el;orah Debbie and kept Jeanie bursting out over him. About that average though, it ' s rumored that he broke the record for . IBBI BII HIH snap courses set by A. Wearybotton, ' 04. L-,„ Dick ' s voice was often the highlight of a glee club concert but perhaps we will alwa s re- member him most with his vashbasin Wag- i ner. Weaver, Bauer, Weaver and Bauer was ti a quartet quite unlike anything we had ever heard before and its demise is the one bright spot of graduation. Dick is one of the few people we have ever known to go into a florist ' s shop and o rder a narcissus corsage. We asked Dick about this and he blushingly admitted it was a sort of complex with him. Howard Bedrossian. 15ede is the only man in college to average three dates a week (luring his whole stay here. He certainly must have something: we have seen two letters from Mary arrive on the same day. Nurses are his specialty, but secretaries rate high. We can vouch that Howard studies. The f)nly waste of time that we know of is the course he took in heavenly bodies. Alter all his experience we don ' t think he needs Ixjoks on that subject. He has alwa s tried out for sports, but just misses out. We can ' t blame him for that, since our own record is nil. He continually worries over his weight, but you can ' t live off the fat of the land and not gain weight. His favorite meat is Lamb, we hope that ' s right. Howard is moving on to Temple to prepare for medicine. We wish him our best, and hope he succeeds.
