GRETCHEN SMITH The class of '21 rejoiced when Gretch changed her mind and decided to cast her lot with us. We scarcely know where to start to point out the accomplishments of this little lady. She is a basketball player, a runner, a marvel on ap- paratus, a dancer who is rushed on every sidea in brief, she is a genius. Her fame extended even beyond the limits of the institution when she was announced in a local paper as the proud owner of an Essex. We understand Miss Smith has lofty ambitions but we are seriously inclined to think her rare physical attractions will prevent their realization. HOMER SIBLEY Hail King, we neophites salute you! You who have long held sway over the commutersa awarded the imperial garter by common consent-- and sustained in office by lack of opposition. Sib. has made himself famous through his ability as a conversationalist. If asked, ulsnit it a nice dance? he will answer, UOf course, it is a nice dance. Isn't it a nice dance? and at times he regales his gentleman friends with risque stories from abroad. But it is as a college athlete that he exceeds all fond hopes--he held the handball championship for forty-eight hours, and has hOpes of repeating the feat in chess. The last antic of his genial humor and undaunted cynicism is this Griffin. It is a motto of our affluent Omar thata Uthe only way to overcome temptation is to yield to it. HENRI ETTA BETTINGER For four years Henrietta has majored in French. As a Daydodger of note, she has also disproved all the old arguments against Daydodging by taking part in every festivity on the campus. As chairman of endless dance committees and the author and perpetrator of a decorative scheme for a record-breaking Prom, she has demonstrated her executive and inventive ability. This year she has divided her time pretty carefully between the young girl in French drama since 1850 and her freshmen friends. sax :0RS7 . t n Wyma .u

RUTH ELIOT A representative of a distinguished American line who has upheld the family tradition. She Was the amazement of her class in the sublime in- difference with which she faced the oral examiners and the consummate ease with which she re: sponded to all interrogations. How she has mastered so many tomes and yet never taken on the pallor of the book-worm is likewise an enigma. The cheery smile of Ruth will be missed on the campus. WILLIAM B. STEWART Blair has only been with us for a year, but we have learned to regard him as one of us. His hobby is economy but he does not confine himself to that as his acquaintances can testify. Before coming to Reed he was noted as a woman hater but the fair environment has completely revolutionized him. Stew plays tennis, but it is not as a racquet weilder that his fame will live. His chief Virtue is consistency, which he demonstrates by pulling down a hundred in econ. every week. EMMA jo STEWART Emma Jo is another Senior who has proved that she could daydodge gracefully for 3 h years. Now, technically lodged in House D, she is at home with her family of rodents in the psyCh lab. She feels the need of a psychological atmosphere while performing the biological experiment of administering thyroid to innocent pink eyed rats recently imported from southern climes. ' . This is the only remaining trait of her BOlShCVlSth mental makeup which she portrayed in her coiffure of last year.

KATHERINE H. KERR The busiest, brightest person on the campus famed for her bright smile and just ways. She: has held offlces in the Drama and Biology clubs. In her Junior year she was a delegate to Des Nioines and secretary Of the Student Council. In her Senior year she was president of the Women of the Dormitory and Vice-president of the Student Body. She has written a thesis on Salamander's tails and is the flrst daughter of a trustee to graduate. r, , MW WM MARY WHITE The most Vivid personality on the campus. She has a ready smile, is a clever talker and a spit-flre when aroused. She has sung alto in the chorus, been an active member of the A. R. A. and a delegate to the student convention at Des Moines. In her Senior year she was a member of the council, wrote a thesis on Wm. Kemp of the Shakespearian Company and was one of the flrst strollers to announce the arrival of spring. Every- one knows Mary. ELIZABETH PEAT Beth has hair that curls eoaxingly around a little flnger, eyes that twinkle, a laugh like the call of spring, and the charm of fine manners. She is noted for her proficiency as a physical ed in- structor and for her ability to keep little boys interested in horrid old studies. She owes her perfection, in these lines, she says, to a little observation, much practise, and the ability to ward off all irrelevancies. The reader is advised to watch the Y. W. news items for further information of Miss Peat, but if a personal interview is desired she may be 863m leaving the gym at five o'clock every evenmg m special company, to the city Via Reedway.
