a GRIPPI CLYDE FOLEY 'Inlthe days of Harry Kenin, Clyde Foley was a power behind the throne of Daydodger ward politics. His austerity and quiet power was something akin to the Tammany William Murphy altho, of course, the analogy is not complete. When Harry left,Clyde seemed to lose his political heart. He changed his ma j or study from sociology to economics, completed his work, save for a thesis, in February. and sort of floated out into the gas business. The real contributions by men like Foley are never fully known. THEODORE ELIOT This minister's son majored in Biology and believed in Evolution long before he tooted the bugle at Reed's S. A. T. C. He has a penchant for collecting presidencies,-class, Bi Club, Chorus, and House. He plays handball like a fiend, sings best about midnight, and feeds fish thyroid at the experiment station. He still blushes, though a Biology assistant; and he knows more about antiprothrombin and enterokinase than anyone on earth. He is an assistant at the University of Kansas this semester; it is rumored that his advocacy in the House I uEgoist, of the Dean for the presidency of Reed caused him to accept this position half way across the continent.

a JUNIORS ARD knocks have formed the most conspicuous feature of the juniors. Born in the stormy days Of the war, the class has in time since traversed n0 paved highway. As Uncle Sarnis war babies, the juniors worked hard as soldiers and nurses, only to have their work all go for naught with the signing of the Armistice. In the days that followed, they twice felt the chilly slime of Crystal Springs Lake due to the superior pulling power of the classes before and after. As infants, they were forced to seek their beds on the lawn one night; and it was only with the most stubborn resistance that the ordeal of green caps was averted. This year, the class returned to find its membership shattered from 86 to 38, and from the largest Sophomore Class in the history of the college, it became the smallest 0n the campus. Last March, the juniors were doomed to further disappointment with the loss by a few inches of the Oregon City Relay, which they had conquered without difficulty as Freshmen and Sophomores. But the juniors place much emphasis on the proverb: HHard knocks make the man.H In the success of Reed Day, which they inaugurated to replace Junior Week End, they feel justly proud. Their Victory in the inter-class track meet proved their superior speed and agility. The athletic, social, and literary activities of the class are indicated by the fact that it lists among its members the captains of this years and next years football teams, captain of the track squad, editor, news-editor, and business manager of the Quest, president of the A. R. A., director of the chorus, four all-star football men, a debater, and the business-manager of The Griffin. Robert Chamberlain and james Hamilton headed the class during its Freshman and Sophomore years, while William Stone was prexy during the present year until his election to the editorship of the Quest, when he resigned. The present officers are : J ames Gantenbein, President; Elizabeth Gore, Vice-President; Sibyl Lindell, Secretary- Treasurer; and Harold Robinson, Sergeant-at-Arms.
