I-Ie distinguished him- self over-seas, many a demoiselle's heart straining to the breaking point when their handsome hero left for home. Bill has won his way into the hearts of all by his noble tolerance of the foibles of the world. Nor is this ex-serviee man without scholastic distinction. Many a painful pause in classes have been filled in by his ready solutions to academic perplexities. MURIEL JOY NICHOLS This delightful bit of femininity is famed as a gloom killer. I f anyone is suffering from the pangs of melancholia we cannot do better than recommend them to Muriel. When not strolling about the green listening to the songs of the birds and to the romantic words of a handsome youth not far distant, you will probably fmd her pouring forth lyrics, sonnets, ballads and epics. Indeed, she loves the Classics of the past not less than the present. Withal, she certainly refutes the old idea that brillianey is confined to the opposite sex. '2' CLARENCE HOGAN One of our economists who promises to make his Alma Mater famous. That he has been able to distinguish himself socially and seholastieally to. such an extent has been the amazement of his friends and no small astonishment to his pro- fessors. Once regarded as a Benedict the world woke up in his Senior year to discover their very grave error. Much of the typographical success of the Quest is said to have been attributed to this brilliant youth. ski s$THE GRIPF'I

HOWARD MCGOWAN Mac will forever bafHe the historian. His tem- pestuous nature has made him the romanticist of the campus, and an exploit a day was ever hi5 minimum. Resourceful in argument, Mac has expounded the truth against all comers, and right or wrong, he never gives up the ship. His knowl- edge of women's wiles has ever been a source of wonder to his male companions and his insight into the feminine character a cause for consterna- tion among the ladies. 'As president of House F he was an active executive, but he failed as a worm-hunter. Mac was Ever-Ready when it came to a scrap, in class or out. MARIE UTLEY Marie is a recent arrival, having come to Reed only this year. She is a math major and passes her spare time juggling ellipses, hyperbolas and parabolas in an attempt to make them behave. We donlt know her past, but we judge that it has been as brilliant as the future which we predict for her. LEITH JOHNSTON Leith occasionally donned the traditional horn- rimmed in his senior year, but he didn't loqk scholarly even then. Leith has been Reeds premier chauffeur and auto mechanic for four years, and as a social light he has shone brightly or flickered as the mood willed. For a Whllc Leith and his room-mate, Robbie, were quite a pair. Then, like the amoeba, they divided and became four. Here's to you, Jonah. x Illti'fll

MARJORIE jEWETT THOMPSON A member of the HSororityf' famous for her linguistic talents and a lover of the rural beauties of the campus. 'iDeepest rivers run the most siientlyi' Piutarch once observed and his words seem to find verification in the quiet power of the celebrity on the left. When interviewed as to the future Marjorie answered with an ill Concealed attempt at suppressing a smile that she was going to take up pedagogy. RUSSELL VATNSDAL Not since Newton discovered the law of gravita- tion has the world been so startled as when this prodigy of House F pulled down a one in Math. No less distinguished has been his social achieve- ment. Those acquainted with the innermost secrets of House C tell us that HGoogly is probably the most popular man on the campus today. Nor is this brilliant youth without athletic fame. In the game of handball he has repeatedly covered himself with glory. The college will miss Russell. PAULINE THOMA Is very pretty with a shy manner, a determined chin, and a way of smiling to herself. She gave sermons in her freshman public-speakingHclass.i and with her partner Isabel, managed the Caf in her Senior year. Pauline dodged the first tWO years and dormed the second two, hashed and cafed, thus becoming an all around Reedite. 5116 ranked highest among women in one 'Of the yearly psych. tests, and majored in EngllSh'
