Page Th irty C I Wumm m s x a. WILLIAM TAYLOR PURDUM PORTLAND Purdum graces the French table and thereby perpetuates the linguistic powers so suddenly dls- covered while in France. His affability and patience persist despite four years of the madness of daydodging. During the summer months he takes to solitude, and watches from storm- swept peaks for forest fires. He must have been born cautious, for he avoids complications of any sort. MARIE WOLFE WHEALDON NASELLE, WASH. Marie wonlt have to grow older all by herself. Matrimony got her two years ago. But Rowan has been mending his own socks this year while Mrs. Marie came back to take her degree in biology. And so while the rest of us are courting she goes snailing or plows through Freshman biology papers. Evenings she is chief queller in the library. When Marie is at home the Anna Manners all know it. Her noisy enthusiasm is all-pervading. Marie is an unusual girl. She avoids complexes by saying what she thinks. RAYMOND OSWEL SMITH PORTLAND Our most individual individualist. Ray is fancy-free of anybody else,s isms, theories, pre- Judices, or personalities. His hard sense has translated itself into math abstractions and pitiless cynicisms. As campus electrician he strides fearlessly in where the most priviledged halt. He has never proclaimed himself a woman- hater, but inasmuch as he is the first man in years to turn the lights OFF alone, we are sus- picious. Oswel will never be a snuggle pup.

Achievement comes about as easy to her as humdrum existence to the rest of us. Her cups testify to this, as well as her election to class oHice, athletic council, and presidency of the women,s dormitory. She sings alto in the Chorus and dispenses Chewing gum and golf balls in the Co-op. Opal deserted us for one year at California, but returned to the fold for her last year. She is modest in spite of her ability at husky jobs. Not even pleading calls to go strolling will distract her when her mind is made up to study. Her ambitions include a brilliant future. JAMES THOMPSON HAMILTON PORTLAND This man rounded his career of activity upon the Reed college campus with the presidency of the Senior class. Quest, Drama Club, football, basketball, track, house presidencieseall these were meat for him. Besides these Hamilton as a member of the old firm of Ham and Hunter and as an independent more recently was the star photographer of the campus, and has been re sponsible to a great measure for the success of the three GriHins. In spite of all these responsibilities, Hamilton is a Cheerful cuss, and we wonder why he wasn,t called Sunny instead of Jimmie. MARY GERTRUDE OPP PORTLAND Gertrude is full of vim, vigor, and vitality, despite being president 0fthe Amanda Reed Asso- ciation, singing in the chorus, and dissecting luck- less pups. Although C assumes the dignity of quiet, it is rumored that Gertrude makes it a veritable F among the womenis houses. Most everybody in C keeps company. Gertrude is no exception. Her constitutional timidity in Fords would almost belie her dexterity in turning cart- wheels. In this latter accomplishment she is the envy of every CO-ed in college. Page TuwnIy-nine

Perhaps that is why she has never been called Lihl Eva. She has been a persistent daydodger, and this past year she has enjoyed the luxury of a Ford. In her junior year as class treasurer she piloted us through the fmancial shoals of Reed Day and the Prom. She has helped the Senior girls garner in a fair proportion of the points they have won on the gym Hoor. Sibyl is intensely practical, but once she sub- mitted to the marcel iron. Sibyl is a good scout. ALVIN WALDEMAR PEARSON CARLTON A1 is a mere youth in years, but he has the poise and aplomb of the man of the world. His dignity strikes terror and yearning into the hearts of raw young Freshman women. His mind absorbs like a sponge, so that he has much time for braving the night air, be dean of the moppefs union, and dream dreams of a Ph. D. at Harvard. His appearance belies his Mercurial legs, that may be trusted to carry him across the tape a hero. Alvin 3 single vice is a puissant cigar, though golf is making insidious inroads. ELLA META ATKIN KALAMA, WASH. Better be nice to Ella Meta. She knows why you throw water on cats, why you eat somebOdy else,s apples, or where you,ll go to if you forge a check. When she isn,t at Salem or up in Wood- stock getting a line on the latest thing in morals she is up in her room wielding a wicked needle or poring over the Modern Priscilla. She is the most formidable hasher in the union. But that,s bluff. She enjoys getting you thirds on library paste or canned grapes. Meta belongs to that extinguished group of Anna Manners.
