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.

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.

Page Thirty-e ight CLINTON ABRAHAM WILSON PORTLAND We expect great things from Clint. Like a good pre-medic, he is a real student. He deserted G because F was too noisy, and retired to the heating plant as Chief Stoker. If the heat gives out prematurely, there are lively suspicions that Clint has gone courting. Besides rivalling old Jonathan Swift satirically, he has the horse beat at his own neigh. In a few more years when the horse is extinct this will be a valuable talent. Abe is a stranger here; Kansas is his home. LORRAINE HINSON PORTLAND Lorraine passed us up for three years while she went to McMinnvilleenow Linheldefor the easy part of her education. But this year she thought it would be fun to write a thesis. And so, being unused to Reed custom, her thesis was done long since. History is her chief interest, but we presume that she does not live entirely in the past. You may identify her by her red- gold hair, her freckles, and owlish horn-rims. HOLLAND HERMAN HOUSTON PORTLAND When in need call on Holland. He will deco- rate for parties, mend automobiles, or meet timid ladies at the street car. Hs is a jack-of-all-trades in your emergency. Being an all-star in football and basketball is old stuff for him-student body finances ditto. As an assistant in the physics department he has guided many an experiment to a tedious conclusion. Long residence in House F has made Houstie death on rolling hell-bats.
