Whish, there goes another basket. Maybe the Orange will win, after all. That's Lorry almost all over. The rest is her poetry. If you're ever at a loss for a theme, read her suggestions given in the Literature Depart- ment. All her poems are as good as her athletic achievements, and they are many, as you know. HELEN CRANBERRY WATERMAN MH. G. W7 She would do a Good Thing to Do without thinking about it. -Winnie-the-Pooh. 1929-30-Christmas Pageant. 1930-31-Christmas Pageant. 1933-34-Salon Francais. Helen is another quiet member of the Senior Class, but prepare yourself for a flood of words if you start discussing any current political problem of the day. Could she pos- sibly be related to Senator Borah? Maybe, only we don't advise you to ask, for no doubt she would start to tell you what he said to Congress one nice day a few months ago. 24

SALLY SKINNER casa!!! All sorts of funny thoughts Run round my head. ' -When We Were Very Young. 1932-33-Treasurer of Book Club, Salon Francais. 1933-34-Vice-President of Senior Class, Salon Francais, Orange Hockey Team. Most Sallies are round and fat, for it seems to go with the name, but this Sally isn't. Her nice blondness and blue eyes add to the attractiveness of the Senior Class, and her choice remarks certainly add to its jollity. But if she ever comes to your house, look out for the spoons! For Sal says that her hobby is collecting spoons. fShe didn't say whether she meant paper or silver. Perhaps you'd better find out.J JOA N SULLIVAN acjoanw .... never let things come to him, but always went and fetched them. -The House at Pooh Corner. 1930-31-Paint and Putty, Christmas Play, Spring- Play, Gray Class Captain, Gray Hockey Team, 'Varsity Soccer Team. 1931-32-Paint and Putty, Christmas Play, Gray Hockey Team, 'Varsity Soccer Team. 1932-33-Christmas Play, Spring Play, Secre- tary of Paint and Putty, Salon Francais, CHAT Literary Board, 'Varsity Hockey and Soccer Teams. -1933-34-Salon Francais, Paint and Putty, Secretary of O. S. A., Student Council, Captain Gray Team, 'Varsity Hockey and Soccer Teams, Music Club. In spite of Joan's littleness, she gets more done than many larger people. On the hockey field or basketball platform she runs away with the ball. Indoors she's always willing to help, and does whatever is wanted with a quickness and thoroughness that is surprising. Just go to Joan if you want anything done. 23

LUCY ELY WATERMAN Gilluf! Most faithful of all my Knights. -The House at Pooh Corner. 1930-31-Christmas Play. 1931-32-Christmas Play. 1932-33-Christmas Play, Glee Club. 1933-34-Treasurer Senior Book Club, Chair- man of Tea Committee for Senior-Faculty Tea, Christmas Play, Glee Club, Music Club. If you ever want to know how you stand, or any other personal details--just go to Lucy, and we assure you a perfectly frank answer. Lu is also an authority on teas and other social functions. She ran a very successful tea at Oxford this year and has given several helpful suggestions for others. Perhaps she'll ask you to bring three dozen sandwiches and a tea service next time. We're warning you! MARY THACHER WORTHEN Thach', I have more zeal than wit. ' 1930-31-Christmas Pageant, Voice Ensemble, Orchestra, CHAT Business Board. 1931-32-CHAT Literary Board, Orchestra, Voice Ensemble, 'Varsity Hockey Team. Christmas Pageant, Music Club. 1932-33-CHAT Business Manager, 'Varsity Hockey Team, Orange Class Captain, Treas- urer of Music Club, Glee Club. 1933-34-President of the Music Club, Orches- tra, CHAT Editor-in-Chief, Voice Ensemble, glngstmas Pageant, Student Council, Glee u . 'This is Thach's own choice as being most significant. Everybody makes a mistake sometime, and that is what this picture does. For you are right, Thach is a blonde and not a brunette. Oh, well, what's a little thing like that! And have you seen Thach's new coiffure? She's got the darlingest bangs! And how many times did she cut her hair in one week? Her busyness indeed shows in that respect, but she is often found busy doing other things, too. You'd be surprised! 25
