In short, he is a hard worker, hard thinker, hard hitter Con the baseball diamondb, and we prophesy that in the years to come he will occupy a top rung in the ladder of life. He has great faith in sleep as a cure for all ills, and when not asleep, pens many a tardy slip. For al that and al that, 'fDoc is decidedly popular with us all.

HELEN COE CSiSD Skidmore A figure full of decision and dignity Her manner is a bit reserved, Enough to keep her steadyg And when a joke invites a laugh, Helen's bright smile is ready, I-Ielen's stood behind the helm Of Twenty-nine's ship of stateg Full many a knotty problem She's helped to arbitrate.

BROOKS MILTON DYER Boston Uniuw'sity f'I'll slrilce a light guitarl' Few brooks run deep, but h6l'6lS an exception. As an athlete and a scholar, Brooks has certainly done his share. If you don't think he's a musician, just go to a local dance. But after all, it is on the stage that Brooks shines. Since the days of t'Master Skylzirkl' he's been an ever present help in our dramatics. And no one who saw t'The Goose Hangs Highl' will ever forget Kimberly and his cigar. To this t'Eyesore , our constant friend, we wish the best o' luck.

Harvard Skillful alike with tongue and pen Behold an orator, no less. Warren can debate, accept a nomi- nation, conduct special exercises in the hall,-in short, he can do anything in the line of public speaking. He can also write. We remember with smiles Warren's prosecution of Macbeth, after the style of Cicero. He has other distinctions also. He has been out for track, faithfully every year, sometimes being the whole team. Warren has surely made his mark here at Thayer, and we wish him good luck and success in years to come.

JANET WINTHROP BAKER CNetD Wheaton A life that moves to gracious ends Her voice is ever soft and low, It tests the teacher's hearingg And yet anon we hear its tones When Janet joins the cheering.

HERBERT MARTIN CLEAVES CBeeD Harvard A man of great probity, wit, and understanding t'Bee Cleaves is probably the most versatile member of our class. As may be seen below, he is treasurer of the class and of the Hi-Y, and president of the Student Council. But besides his financial and executive proclivities, Herb has many talents in other fields. Our cagey field general in the backfield, our debonair lawyer over the footlights, and our logical prize-winner on the topic Why Should I Vote? are all one and inseparable. Bee has also been instrumental in class dances, baseball, tennis, hockey, class meetings, and the adoption of the rule that all people tardy more than once a month must stay after school. His destiny is Harvard, his chosen profession, law, and as for his much heralded claim to oratory, we can only say that the Cleaves' speech of ac- ceptance will live in our memories as the finest example of modesty ever exhibited by a candidate for public oflice.

OLIVE BROWN iBapfist H ospiwl A friend in need is a friend indeed Do you want something done? Ask Olive. She is very quiet, but always on hand to help anyone who might need assistance of any kind, Have you ever watched Olive play tennis? She is always here, there, and everywhere--and winning tool Twenty-nine holds you in high esteem, Olive, for your depen- dability and sincerity of purpose. Girls' Club, 1.

He is a student of great earnestness and persistence, and has made many of the 'tGiants,' in our intellectual field work to surpass his efforts. Doug's dearest possession is a Ford Sedan in which he proudly drives to school every other week, arriving at 82916. However, he does better than the other Brocktonites who arrive at 8.31. We always find 'tDoug ready with a cheery word or an offer of a flivver ride whenever we are in need of either. May college give him its best. Orchestra, 2, 1.

DONALD WALKER FULLER CDonJ Annapolis Ay, every inch a king We suppose itls a boresome and risky thing to introduce here again to our readers that grand old saying 'tAnother Wollaston boy makes good , and yet such is the fact. Don Fuller is now before you to get his full share of praiseg he does remarkably well both in his studies and on the athletic field. Besides, Don almost never fails when he makes up his mind to succeed, Cwitness the 89 he received in his Annapolis examj and we predict that with this quality, he will always 'tmake port with flying colors .

ETHEL DOUGLASS fTed7 'fl love the peo-ple But I do not like tor stage me to their eyes A Here beginneth Safed the saga his tale: f'Five autumns ago there came from the east country near the city of a million maidens this Ted, bringing with her, her books, her athletic equipment, and all her treasures. Now it came to pass that this Ted learned to play basketball like one possessed, which was a discomfort to her opponents. And it also happened that she would wander into the rooms devoted to linguistic studies and there converse with the wise men-and they would marvel at her understanding. Her classmates, too, did soon discover her greatest treasures-courtesy, helpfulness, and prudence, and did honor her for themf' Thus endeth Safcd his tale.
