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.

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.

She has been in consistent de- mand as a Chairman of decoration committees, her big achievement being last yearls Prom. Helen makes a dreadful furore when she is about to study but can be readily distracted if there is something good afoot. She is vivacious, but does not giggle. Although a heartbreaker, she is so with such skill that she leaves her victims at once addled and contrite. We can Visualize Little Kaye as a schoolmalm. WILLIAM TREADWELL STONE NEW YORK CITY Bill is our all-around man. Only among the hashers has his name been missing. Run down the list of activitieSefootball, basketball, clubs of all sorts, council, mop-pushers-and you will find his name at or near the top. As editor of the Quest he rejuvenated that former self-perpetuat- ing oligarchy and made it an all-campus nuisance. He larded in his college career with a trip to England. Bill has been the author of much re- prehensible publicity about us in small-town newspapers. He does all these things, but on what will always be a mystery. We nominate him for the campus Hall of Fame. GERTRUDE BREHAUT ROBERTSON PORTLAND Mrs. Robertson has the distinction of having come farther to get her degree from Reed than any other of us. Her first college work was done at Prince ofWales College, Prince Edward Island. For her thesis research Mrs. Robertson has adopted whole families ofsnails, and she has them in residence under almost any of the dr00ping cedar trees hereabouts. They react very well to her faithful care, even salty soup failing to daunt them. Mrs. Robertson formerly lived in the dorm, but now she does a daily constitutional up the Woodstock hill.
