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.

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.

Page Thirly-lwo MAURICE WARREN HOWARD PORTLAND Howard has from the first been a pillar of the Class. Undaunted though alone he has stood for his principles despite the baying oflesser hounds. He has retrieved himself from consistent mem- bership in the Defeated Candidates Club by being elected at the eleventh hour to the preSI- dency of the men's council. Maurice is Intense, whether it be Y. M. C. A., football, or driving theiChevrolet. He has a penchant for weighty movements. But he has lighter moments. Only a genius could have evolved his barrel costume, and when he dances he grows downright frivolous. Hsst! He whispers in Chapel. MADELAINE MATHILDE STEFFEN PORTLAND Madelaine stars. She has been a senior councilor and headed the Drama Club, as well as a contri- butor of enthusiasm to any limping 0r thriving cause upon the campus. She is a headliner in the physical ed department, too, being particularly devoted to tennis. Matt is exotic in her tastes and has, a'genius for strange and happy colors. She has gdaydodged, and run the gamut of the campus, even breaking into the closed corpora- tion ofHouse B, but she ends up in the democracy of Anna Mann. All this sounds like perfection, but we suspect a lurk. LEWIS WEBSTER JONES OLYMPIA, WASH. After living successive years in F, G, and H, we suspect that Lewis decided to graduate this year to avoid the inevitable I. He has indulged in athletics somewhat, but his major forte is de- bate, whether formal or not. This ability led him on one occasion to the eminenceofapulpit. He is the recognized student authority on politics and phil- osophy, and he leads the plodders into meta- physical mazes and out again with ease. The other sex has always found him a desirable but elusive young man. We predict notoriety, if not fame, for him in the future.
