SHEFFIELD Pumps Yale Wheflield! What are you doing? Before you know it you are encircled by his long arms and completely surrounded by Goon. If someone suggests turning on the vlctrola, Shef yodels, You do it, explaining why he can't with numerous argu- ments introduced by, Do you realize-. Renowned as a fabrica- tor, Fi Fi's pet anecdote deals with a friend of his who drove a golf ball ten miles down the Hudson River in mid-winter. We have also discovered that Whef is not the only male off- spring in his family. The gawky one is quite a crew man when he is not Hopping around on the piano. Some say that his secret ambition is to become a zeppelin commander.

Whether a question of formal wear or of a costume for a Tyrolean Party, Gardner Harte is always ready with advice which can't be beaten. After all, he is a great musical critic. though limited in expression to the one phrase, Gawd this is good! A great traveler, Gar has many tales to tell of experiences in gay Paris or among the movie stars of Hollywood. The quality of his criti- cism and mockery is surpassed only by that of his witty puns which, as a matter of fact, are rather boring. They say his advice to the Love- lorn is unbeatable. Perhaps he is that way too.

WILLIAM BARCLAY PARSONS, JR. Harvard You never know what Pars is going to do next. If you should ask his frank opinion. he'd tell you that his ruling passion is to lead a jazz orchestra. But one never knows. Bill often reminds one of the old Down East chore man who says he has 101 jobs to do every day. but only gets 100 of 'em done, and, as a 64355 result, in a constant state of dis- ,, Mn organization, confusion, and dis- orderliness. But somehow he always 5 K seems to come through, nobody knows how. Who ever heard of a V missionary society or a minister's convention without Pas-a swear word or cross word by Bill-an evil thought or drink in Bill? He claims J to rate as a B.M.0.l'., but in ten 'a years his semi-idiotic qualities will probably land him under a table in some booze parlor, or in a home for the feeble-minded. 1 I Aoousrus fiIBSON Pi-x1Nr:, II Princeton We always recognized Stavy as being meticulous, clothes wrinkless, never a hair out of line, but there broke upon us the final jolt when he shipped his baseball shoes off to Brooks for reconditioning. You know, being St. Mark's social dictator, he has quite a following around here. VVhy, not long ago he was the cause of a minor s,, catastrophe in the life of a certain traveling salesman. He announced fthff to the press and the world at large f 1 that young men today are wearing 4 their trousers without pleats. Uonse- 'i quently every suit being fitted that gk day had to be sent back to the shop ' L for the removal of the pleats. He has ' an passion for telling the most un- Y believable stories. For this reason some of us have taken to calling A . . l him Hyperbole, That works like dynamite. so if you use the word in Stavy's presence, be on your horse. M1958

less, and if he gets you in DAVIS WESSON ROCKWVELL Harvard Minnie the mouse is an astounding character whose main ambition is to defeat Mr. Baldy in golf. The Fodder is merci- one of his thumb screw holds, you're as good as gone. Although a brilliant scholar, Dave hates to be classed as a grind. Rock hopes to spend his life doing absolutely nothing or else leading a proletariat revolution in South America, and finally becom- ing a dictator. His fear, and prob- able goal, is that he will lead a nor- mal life. K '5 ' ' , if -A ihvfii Pi-.sk Q A, .tl . Q , GERALIJYN LIVINGSTONE REDMOND Harvard Gerry spent the summer with Captain Bob Bartlett at the North Pole, came back to school with fabulous stories, and took up navigation. It's too bad to think how his experience will be wasted when he makes the rounds of the Deb parties this summer. But then those of us who Y know Gerry, realize how invaluable to him will be the ability to dead reckon. Perhaps someday he will take up blind flying too. He should have done so long ago, for he is constantly in a fog, and it is a miracle that he ever gets to first base in anything. A short summary of Gerry may be put into the words ol' acharming young lady whosighcd, ..WlllD,S the Greek God? 11, Hfazflsysi I .i in 2 - x l' 27 v 938
