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.

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

A man of travel that hath seen the worldf' Voici, Monsieur Tibbetts! Isn't he a good-looking F renchmanil But wait till you hear him parler francais. Wally spent a whole summer abroad, and now he can j abber away as fast as any Parisian who was born and brought up on the banks of the Seine. Can you guess who was the faultlessly-dressed young man who carried off the role of hero in the French play with such a calm air of as- slurance and savoir faire? Vous avez raison. C etait Wallace lui- meme. Clee Club, 3, 9, 1: French Play, 2.

WALSH, MARION LOIS Vesper George School of Art L' She that was ever fair, and never proud, Had tongue at will, and yet was never loud. What an opportunity Shakespeare missed by not knowing Marion. Had she only lived about three hundred years ago, doubtless that renowned dramatist would have starred her as the dark-eyed heroine of one of his masterpieces. But just the same, we're mighty glad she wasn't alive then, for what would we do without Marion to run our dances and brighten the dark days with her sunny disposition?
