LANGLEY, RUTH Middlebury 'L All I can is nothing, To her who makes all other Worthies nothing. Mirabile dictu! Ruth, who so valiantly withstood the temp- tation for four whole years, has done it. Yes, she has bobbed her raven locks. Such a metamorphosis has, however, made no change in the quiet, even tenor of Ruth's ways.

MILNE, MARJORIE BRADFORD, KMIDGE, MARGED I weigh my friend's affection with mine own. Midge may be tiny, but she holds a big place in our hearts. Short and sweet - that is Marge! She is one of the youngest in our noble class, too, but she can clog the light fantastic as well as - if not better than - the best of us. Glee Club, 3, 2, lg Baseball, ll, 3. NELSON, HELENE, QHEINIED Katherine Gibbs H Were she other than she is, she were unhandsomef' Since her prep days, Helene has been among us, with a glowing smile and a merry jest. Heinie has always been our shining star at basket ball, and this last year she has attempted to make us shine as well. Here's to the future, Helene, and may your radiant smile always remain undimmedl Baskel Bull, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. OGDEN, WARREN GREENE, Jn., QPORKYD H They that ride so, and ride not warily, fall into foul bogsf' Like the monarch bold of ancient days, Who'd change his kingdom for a steed, Our 'L Porky U goes his devious ways, On a motor bike with speed. And does this take courage? Fresh, Cor rather, sorej, from recent attempts, we agree unanimously that it does. Otherwise, Porky is a rather shy, but resourceful, young man.

After we poor bluffers have stammered painfully through a few, Qvery fewj, lines of Virgil, what comfort it must bring to the sorely tried spirits of our teachers, to hear Ernest's quiet voice flow on, with never a break or a ripple, carrying the wandering Aeneas from country to country so rapidly that the rest of us are usually about two islands and three sacrifices behind him. Had Virgil had Paigels collaboration, we tremble to think of how many masterpieces that worthy poet might have produced. --:I 22 Ie--
