DORIS ALEXANDER So shy and retiring is Doris that in all the years we've known her, Welve been unable to find any fault with her. As a sportswoman, she holds her own with the best of them, particularly in hockey and basketball. As a student, too, she is faithful and industrious, But it is in music, on the piano, that Doris far outstrips the rest of us. We predict that in the years to come she will be hailed as the second Paderewski and we will indeed be proud to say we were schoolmates of hersl Ifor the present, however, Doris intends to go to Simmons where, we know, she will still be unable to hide her light under a bushel.

IRENIQ BAKER A newcomer this year and such a quiet one that we've scarcely had time really to know her and find out all her virtues. Be that as it may, we did succeed in discovering, while practicing for the exhibi- tion, that Irene far excelled almost all of us in the Terpsichorean art. That, coupled with the fact that she reels off Latin as we others do Iinglish. is enough to bring her to the front, anywhere. As yet, Irene has not made up her mind in regard to the future, but we wish her luck wherever she may go. Candy Committee: Glee Club. BERNADIXI2 BARKER QBCNNYD Ifirst, last, and always, Bunny is a Girl Scout. Uther things. such as school and plays, may take up some of her time, but we have a deep-rooted suspicion that Bunnyfs heart and soul is ever with the Scouts. In spite of that, her scholastic record has always been of the best and her acting always clever and true to the part she portrayed. Once again, after a grown-up period of about a year, Bunny has succumbed to the lure of bobbed hair. In Bunnv, the School of Social VVork has indeed secured a loyal and faithful student.

As a member of the hockey team, he brought athletic honor to the school. We trust he will have more opportunity for skating at Bowdoin than he had on our school rink.

Heres a man who will fill the bill every time-whether it is addressing a formidable audience, delivering a stirring speech in morning assembly, or merely reciting in American history, Harlan does them all with equal grace and skill. liven our president lowers himself to the extent of riding to and from school every day in his Ford, but somehow manages to retain his dignity withal. and, strange to say, the ilivver continues to run. although a landslide of snow from the roof did somehow mar the shiny surface of its hood. Four years of Xl. I. T. ought to add the finishing touches. Then we expect him to step out and set the world on fire.

STUART COOK To see that bright red necktie which Stuart wears occasionally cine would think that he was a Bolshevik. But we know that he is a conservative fellow who is willing to do anything you ask him to. He is cheerful and studious, too. Uh. yes, about that necktie.
