WAKEMAN, SAMUEL, CSAMJ Cornell Are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils, shrunk to this little measure? Sam is a most essential member of our busy class, 'twould seem, For, first of all, he's Captain of our glorious football team! He helps to run our dances, he acts when there's a play, He tumbles with the tumbling squad, he rules the Thayer A. A. He's the one that takes our cash, when cash there is to gleang And last - and least important - he studies in between. Class Treasurer, 3, 2, L' Football, ll, 3, 2,' Captain, L' Secretary T. A. A.

BATES, DONALD Boston University Sleeps easily, because he cannot study. 'T is very true, that life, for some of us, is rounded out by a sleep. Not even the heated arguments of the fifth period history class awaken our drowsy Donald from his dreams. Yet can it be that his propensity for private conferences foreshadows his par- ticipation in the world of business? At any rate, willy nilly - lgald wears a permanent smile. BARBOUP1, WALTER GRAHAM, CGAFFERD Bowdoin One man in his time plays many parts. If you want some one to manage a play, producing scenery and props H seemingly out of space, if you want some one to run a dance, getting the best hall and the jazziest orchestra for the least money, if you want some one to play center on a football teamg and if you want some one to do all these things cheerily, without any fuss, and with the best results - call on Walter, our good-natured jack-of-all-trades.

BENNETT, LOUISE ABBOTT 'S ---- her voice was ever soft, Gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman. Harkl What gentle murmur is that which meets our ears? 'Tis our Louise. Just you wait tho, until she bursts into song. Altho' Louise has been obliged to lose more time from school than any other member of '26, her record is one to be proud of' - nary a flunk, and always a sunny smile.

DAY lb, MARION, CDAVIED Connecticut State O, there be players that I have seen play, and heard others praise. VVho played the charming 'S Celia so admirably in Green Stockings? Who is the plucky person that struggled like a fiend behind the goal posts every fall? Who is the girl sitting in the back row of the lecture room, who groans every time the teacher looks her way? Who can put pep into every minute of the day, whether it be a chemistry test or a quiet study period? Who? Well! You ought to guess who! No one but Marion!
