.e- iizfwi x iKnhr1't Qlharlvu Ball Riderwood, Md. Bob, Skinny Marshallg Swimming Team, 1917, 1918. Blushing is Ihr' color Qf virtue Bob hails from below the Mason-Dixon line, tho it is not noticeable in his talk. He is known for his ambitious manner, his French grinding, and his remarkable bashfulncss. We may have the testimony of his room-niatc, who took Bob home at vacation, as well as that of Bob's fellow townsman, that he is not so bashful as he appears if he is given the opportunity of meeting the right one. Skinny is an accomplished swimmer and dancer. Ile is also a Math shark and tho he has to be cautioned about shaking the desk when the marks in Math are handed out, he never fails to get a brace of eighties. .loHNs IIOPKINS 1 . H. Aham Smit Griiiin Indianapolis, Ind. Grifl ' Marshall. Capacily for joy admits lemplalionft That there is a soft spot in Grilf's heart is beyond question. Indeed we consider him one of the most ardent admirers of the fair sex in the class. Speaking in general terms, we estimate that he received about three pink or blue scented letters a day during last term. This indicates the nature of the complaint. Outside of this, his principal characteris- tics are rough-housing and listening to Bed Forsyth's jokes. He may have an incli- nation for the former but we are tempted to believe that the latter are thrust upon him. Griflis ever-present smile, however, seems to indicate that he tinds some little humor in these chestnuts. We believe, Griff, that you will have no cause to lay aside that smile at XVALE SHEFFIELD l 645,44 27 I 'R
