We Thrill to watch Ted Tear Terrifically Through T 'other Team, Twisting, Turning, Tackling- a Tireless Terror. Touch- down ! Three Thayersn for Ted! Thayer Trembles at the Thought of Turning Ted's Talents over to Maine.

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

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. Second Team Football, 25 Vice-President Deulscb Club, 25 Tumbling, 4, 3, 2. PAIGL, ERNES1' L' New honors come upon him. 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--

ROBERTSON, FLORENCE JEAN Mass. General Hospital 'L Fair thoughts and happy hours attend on you. We'll have to admit that Florence has chosen her future vo- cation wisely tshe plans to be a nurse, you knowbg for she is quiet, unobtrusive, and efficient. Good luck, Florence! SCHWIND, PHILIP JACOB, CPHIL, SCHWVINDLEJ Amherst 2 A What is the end of study? Let me knowf, This is an engrossing problem, Phil. We don't wonder you are oft obliged to neglect such matters as Latin and math. But never mind, your inventive turn of mind puts you in the class with Julius Caesar himself -without bothering with Latin -for the bridge you constructed was worthy of old Veni, vidi, vicif' himself. French Play, 2,' Second Team Football, 2. SIMS, SAMUEL ROBERT, QSILENT SIMD Georgia Tech- Silence is the perfectest herald of joy. 'A Silent Sim's silence, plus his short time with us, have made him more or less of a mystery - but we have an idea that he is a very superior sort of individual, especially when We hear those elusive chemical terms, and vague, shadowy dates in history slip off his tongue. The only fault we have to find with Silent Sim is that he didn't come to us sooner. We certainly hate to miss anything good. SOUTH, MARION ELEANOR O! She will sing the savageness out of a bear. Marion is our class songbird, who can trill forth melodious ditties in any key or language. French, German, or English- it's all the same to her. At Christmas time we decided that Marion would be right at home in a gay costume, behind the footlights. Glee Club, 2, L' Orchestra, 3, 2, 1,' Chairman Candy Committee for Foreign Plays, 2. --al 24.
