DOUGLASS, HECTOP1, CHECD L' He was a man, take him for all in all. I shall not look upon his like again.

Her golden locks may be shaven and shorn, but her bright and happy self holds a place in our hearts. After she leaves us, she hopes to dance her Way through Vassar.

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.

Here's the one person in all our noble class who can rival Paige when it comes to translating Virgil. The next time weire broke, we think we'll hire the '6 old town hall and run a Latin speed contest - Bickford versus Paige - with a brand new Aeneid to go to the winner. We wager 'S Franny will make Radcliffe sit up and take notice, next year! Clee Club. 2: Year Book Slajf, 15 Properly Commillee, 2.

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!

HASTINGS, WALTER OLIVER, JR., CDALYD M. I. T. My soul grows sad with troubles, Sing and disperse them, if thou can'st. To gaze on Waller's serious expression, one would think he bore the cares of the entire school on his young shoulders. A veritable Atlas he seems. Or perhaps the camera man had him a bit Worried. However, please don't conclude that Walter is always so solemn. The earnest look may recur when his brain is tormented as gay and happy as the rest of us. CEMD Katherine Gibbs I am not only witty in myself, but the cause that wit is in other men. Pep should be her middle name. If there is any excitement, Emma is sure to be in the midst of it. What a snappy game of hockey and of basket ball she plays! You can't beat Emma where athletics are concerned. If you want to hear any popular song, just tune in on this certain party. If you want a hearty laugh, just join the group around Emma. Although Em is most proficient at sing- ing, dancing, and at all sports, of course she excels in her studies - once in a while!

HERSEY, EMMA E., with atoms and theories, but outside the lecture room Walter is HOWARD, LAWRENCE LYFORD, CLARRY, SHYLOCK, BOSKYD Harvard A fellow of infinite jest, or most excellent fancyfl We rather suspected in our long-ago prep days, that Larry was a born actor, when, as Shylock, he roared forth a demand for his ducats or his daughterf' Then, when he blossomed forth as leading man in the Dramatics last year, we were sure of his talents. As year book editor, Larry has been a busy man. tHe says so lj In fact, he has felt called upon to absent himself from frequent classes in order to attend to his duties. Whatever college Larry decides to honor with his presence will receive a snappy and spirited cheer leader, as well as a potential music maker.

If we were choosing the most honest and the most polite person in the school, the palm would go to Fred, without a doubt. In fact, after associating with Fred for five years, we begin to look upon George Washington as a sort of Ananias. But don't think that these are Fred's only good points - not at all. They are just the most prominent. Orchestra, 5, 4, 3, 2, L' Ticket lltanager, 2, L HOWE, FREDERICK
