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

DYER, VIRGINIA, CDIIS, DYER, GIND Skidmore - - - that noble lady Or gentleman, that is not freely merry, Is not my friend. For another example of the general cleverness and talent of 1926, witness 6' Gin. She is very, very clever, don't you see? She can dance, she can sing, She can act 'n everythingg She can urge our hockey team to victory. Clee Club, 3, 2, L' French Play, 25 Hockey, 4, 3, 2, L' Baseball, K 4, 3,' Volley Ball, 3. FRICK, JAMES WILLIAM, CJIMMYD llarvard He reads much, he is a great observer, and he looks quite through the deeds of menf' Keen of mind, With Words expert, Of serious mien, yet most alert To see the fun that's lurking 'roundg Inditferent air, yet zealous, too - Actor, member of the football crew.

No, this isn't a picture of the school sheik. It's the fair Sylvia, heroine of Summer is a-Comin Inf, or, as we know her in every- day life, Lucile. 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.
