And what would we have done without Red to laugh at, argue with, or blame for our misdieeds? But aside from a mere :superficial funniness , she is to be admire-d for the unquenchable spirit, the firm loyalty, and the unerring sense of sports manship that have marked her way through high school.

We always used to think of him as the cherubic little boy with the radio magazine. Now he is no longer little, nor yet so very cherubic, but he still carries the radio magazine. We are 'thank- ful 'for his quietness, comparative though it may beg it is well that a few people sit back and develop brain -cells while the rest of us exercise our tongues. Cornell I9 --.

HELEN RITSCH G. R. l, 2, 35 Walking Club 3, 4g S. A.: Giee Club l. Helen sits back quietly and watches things happen, then she comes forward and startlez one with a terse observation.

Lois can coax beautiful tones from a violin, and 'praise of her playing brings a flush of pleasure to her cheeks that betrays the true artist. ln ad-dition to this. Lois has an exen temper and is a worthwhile friend. VAUGHAN HOFFACKER President of the Radio Club: member Science Club 35 Student Association. This is such a serious worl-d that we should never speak at all unless we have something to say. That is 'probably how Vaughan feels about it for we seldon hear him speak unbidden.

Like all quiet people, Norma accomplish- es much while the rest of us are chattering. She is nice and agreeable, which makes it easy to become acquainted with her, and she is so serenely dignified that it was a trium- phant victory for the Pro-Bobbecl society when Norma was won over to their ranks. 2l
