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'

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

There are twelve people in the country who under- stand Einstein, among whom are Walter. He is especially interested in good looking women. His room is a gallery of the most beautiful girls on the campus. Next to his interest in art Walter prefers the classic game of tennis, being one of the most formidable raequet wielders the college has ever seen. How he has resisted the wiles of the opposite sex has been a source of mystery to his friends although we have a hunch that uHess. works on the outside. CONSUELO McMILLAN uCon is our campus Sarah Bernhardt. She has not only performed on the legitimate stage, but is also a movie star, having played the lead in the Reed production The Reconstruction of Mary. When not acting, practicing or wrestling with her thesis subject, Con is to be found in the Co-op passing centennials over the counter and making change. CLIFFORD ZOLLINGER They tell us that a man acts upon his beliefs con- eemmg facts but not necessarily in accordance With the facts themselves. Zolly is a living proof Of this statement, and for some time he has been acting upon the belief that i'a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. In the Field of economic Cndeavor one may rest assured that the name Clifford Zollinger will always be associated with Cmciency. He. tells us that his plans for the Cpmmg year have not completely ripened but the $1Ens at least impel the belief that his nest will always be feathered. e 5's- engyr m. unfam-we: .. e
