rum UQ Page Th irty-s i3: IVON ROY TAYLOR PORTLAND Taylor is a newcomer who decided to brave an A. B. from Reed with us. He hails from Sas- katchewan and has been somewhat hard put fmd- ing an outlet for the energies he developed playing hockey there. .His greatest temptation and most Hagrant sin is the buffet, where he has acquired a tremendous appetite for snails and corn-Hakes. He scorns Reed,s reputation as a intellectual grist mill. Which simply proves that experience is a fair teacher. GLADYS ELIZABETH BLAINE SEATTLE Gladys has a mighty line. But she hangs it discreetly. We have seen her emerge from the greenroom to the presidency of the Drama Club, and from plebean ranks to the vice-presidency of the Senior class. After four years, service she has developed a negative complex toward com- mittees. She is a voracious bargain-sleuth. Her room harbors a motley collection of hats, snappy sweaters, and thingumbobs. Gladys, prowess with a canoe paddle is only eclipsed by her dextrous skill pacifying ravenous appetites in the Commons. JAMES WATSON GANTENBEIN PORTLAND Gantenbein holds the distinction of graduating from two institutions in one year. At the same time that he is building a thesis for his Reed College B. A. he is finishing at the Northwestern College of Law. Jimmie has done his duty. He was a Senior councilor, and as president of the Junior class he put the first Reed Day across, and successfully held out for a two-oclock prom. He is conservative, but eccentriCewitness his white socks. He is sometimes known as Judge, but this seems a little previous.

For four years we,ve known her this way. Nothing ruHies her. Not even class oHices, the arduous duties 0fthe President ofthe A. R. A., or four years of daydodging. This year Edith is busy off the campus assisting Dr. Warner at her nutrition Clinic, and conducting evening gym classes. Forewarned is forearmed, thinks Edie; accord- ingly she has her thesis half-done at Christmas. We understand that she is on at least friendly terms with the Reed Day hack. BERTHA MARGARET HAYS PORTLAND The crop of math sharks is good this year. Here is one. Bertha spends her time trying to prove that the shortest distance between two points is a parabola. Or she guides the Freshmen through the mysteries of differentiation and integration. She is an inveterate daydodger, and lets not even that disturb the serene tenor of her way. She is a student from A to Z. MIGNON HOOVER ELIOT PORTLAND This demure maid is one of our most versatile members. When she is not studying she designs artistic sets for the Drama Club, does posters, is frankly literary, or just naturally plays around. In the good old days of the Freshman lawn party, Miggy was the possessor of a row of quaint curls and was a student first, last, and always. Now she is taking a conversation course with her Anna Mann sisters. And occassionally we even discover her embroidering. Mignon scorns grape- nuts or Toke Points when she can have Hersheys for brain food. Present indications are that she will never change her name. There,s a reason. Page Thirty-five

She is a devotee of those who believe that anything that is worth doing at all is worth doing slowly. And she is neat! If we didnlt know her better we should suspect her of cats and canary birds. Decoratively Ruth achieved a triumph for House A last year in the canoe carnival. Her prowess in athletics is pro- digious. Baseball and tumbling is her line. Ruth is a convert from O. A. C. JOHN CALHOUN VAN ETTEN REED COLLEGE John Van antedates most of the faculty. He makes no bones about being perfectly at home, and is the bane of the Commons. College is a serious business for John, and his thesis has been postponed these many years because of the numerous demands on his time. He has manu- factured toy airplanes, built houses, and taught manual training. But a recent trip East sug- gests that John is about to settle down. He is an ardent advocate of campus discipline, and a vigilant watchdog of the unit treasury. If he ever follows up his prowess and boxes profession- ally, he will be known as Gentleman John. HARRIET ELIZABETH GORE MEDFORD The slickest girl in the class. Liz could make murder attractive. During her four years she has defied a point system. Quest, council and now the class-secretaryship have drawn upon her abilities and enthusiasms. But while she shines in these, she dazzles in the chorus. As director Betty takes forty raw voices and turns out a finished choir. She even wields the baton for Fair Reed. But all this has left her unspoiled and naive. Only with grave misgivings did she take even to hairnets. Betty would hate to be one of the mob. One of our choicest memories will always be Betty playing Kammenoi Ostrow with Lucile.
