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--

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.

LEAHY, FRANCIS, CFRANKD Dartmouth You are as Welcome, worthy sir, as I have I words to bid you. Francis Leahy came to Thayer All ready for some knowledge. He's done his bit, a very good bit, And now he's off to college. Good luck, Francis! x MCJENNETT, MARY, CPOLLYD Wellesley 1 Shall we be merry? As merry as cricketsf, Polly is one of our new recruits, Who comes from Greenbush every day, Except when mammoth drifts of snow Keep merry Polly far away. We're glad she found her way to Thayer- This maid of merry laughter. We wish her joy in days to come, And all the years hereafter. Hockey. L' Basket Ball, 1. MCPHILLIPS, JAMES, CRED, MAC, .Imj Bowdoin A man of good repute, carriage, bearing and estimation. Although Jim's stay has not been lengthy, He's gained a place in six and twenty. Friendly ways, and a friendly smile, These are his assets all the while. Good luck, friend, where'er you go. Thayer's glad you came, we'd have you know. Baseball, 1.

JOHN, QJIJHNNYQ University of Maine Look here, upon this picture, and on this. the counterfeit presentment of two brothers. Johnny has tried his hand at everything. from football to acting, during his career among us, including a successful term as Yice-President of our class, and a valiant attempt to drown out the fiddles in the orchestra with his clarinet. Johnny is somewhat modest and retiring, but We know he's always right there when We want to call on him.

PIERCE, ALLEN YAIGHAN, CPIERCY, ALLYJ Some time I shall sleep out, the rest I'll whistle. Here you have one of the trio that has made history in Thayer. What kind of history? Not American, no, indeed. Perhaps that trip to the sunny South a couple of years ago has some connection with Allen's easy-going. somewhat sleepy, and altogether happy-go- lucky nature. Rut then, what would life be if we were all serious? Baskel Ball. 4. 2: Year Book Staff, 1: Second Team Baseball, 2. POWERS, DOROTHY, CDOTD ls't possible that on so little acquaintance you should like her? Not only possible, but true. We haven't seen as much as we Would wish of Dot this year, for she is a tiny, quiet person, and besides, she has had to miss a good many days from school. How- ever, in the short time we have had to become acquainted with her, we have decided that she has the happy gift of making friends wherever she goes. 4-QI 23 11:-4
