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.

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.

Thls icture does not lie, and yet Cecil is a math shark, though he has never been caught studying. And would you believe that on track or basketball Hoor he is the relentless pursuer of sure Victory? It seems ridiculous, but it isntt. Early in his Soph year he. adopted a seat in the library that commands a charming View. He may be found there again after 9:30, but it is Hoors, not books, that busy him. A hard winter at home made him master of a Chandler, which helps make courting easy. He is a silent chap, but hell be heard from yet. DOROTHY DELL ROSSMAN PORTLAND Dorothy Dell is another of our latest acquisi- tions. She deserted Sunny Cal. in her next to the last year for the pleasures and perils of an oral and thesis at Reed. We discovered her histrionic talents soon after her arrival,when she amused us with some funny lingo at the Dorm bonfire. After Suppressed Desires we feared her psycho-analytical powers for days. Dorothy has a positive genius for making other people work. She is famous on the campus for her wear-ever smile, no doubt the result of long exposure to a sunny climate. HOBART EDWARD BENSON PORTLAND We present Coop Benson, otherwise known as Fifi, Svensky, Little Cleo, and in stupendous moments, Hobart. His preposterous elongation tCoop likes big wordsi has made him an imposing figure on the football field or under the baskets. But he has greater glories. As a co-op manager he takes the crocheted tennis racket. He can make a ten per cent dividend absolutely painful. No woman has ever stepped with Hobart twice consecutiyely. His date-list prevents such a peril- ous experlence. Hets the best wetve got.
