Russell Basham A. B., Science, Chemistry Russ is one boy who really knows the meaning of work, take it from the chem. lab. But he seems to thrive on it, and plans to continue in his chosen field, with fine re¬ sults we have no doubt. He floated down the river from Rockport these four years ago, and has been going strong ever since (particularly in the line of the spring 1937 Sig. pres., not mentioning any names). It’s a great life, Russ, if your don’ts weaken! Pi Epsilon Phi, sec’y. ’35-’36, pres. ’37; S.F.F. Promo¬ tions and Public Occasions, vice-chairman ’36-’37; Junior treas. ’35-’36; Campus Leader ’37. Robert Becker B. S., Elementary Education, Social Studies If our gazing globe hasn’t fooled us, we predict a suc¬ cessful teaching career for Bob. There’s something about him, the fair hair or cultured nose, or maybe the firm jaw, that attracts women and children. Form in line, people, ten cents a peek. There isn’t one speck of scan¬ dal, not one iota of dirt to be gathered about Bob, so he must be one of those wise guys; and that isn’t a bad characteristic for a teacher, hut it really puts a crimp in our style, so to speak! Pi Epsilon Phi ’34-’37. Marvin Bennett A. B., Science, Chemistry Bennett is one of these men who doesn’t even wait for his degree before starting in to teach! He attributes his physical well-being to his daily four-flight pilgrimages to chem. lab., and all who are in the know in those parts have been accusing Marvin of beating around the Bush. No one (except Pauline) has been able to “pin” him down so far. If you didn’t catch that, read it again. (If in doubt, same recipe.)

B., Science, Biology When Charlotte graduates this year, it will be the first time for eight years that there has been no Blood blood represented on E. C. campus. And indeed, ladies and gentlemen, ably represented as well, for there is an enthusiasm for life and an ability for leadership which Charlotte has ably carried on. Charlotte lika da drama, da Sigs, we heard. She lika humor and, vatt did dey say, da Witt?

SENIORS Loren Bailey B. S., Secondary Education, Biology Education, says Loren, is a fine thing (please don’t quote!) but if this were four years ago, I’d join the Navy! Well, it gets us all ... ah .. . life is bitter . . . and Coach is bitter, too, for it’ll be a long time before anyone can take the place of Bailey in football and basketball versatility and in Eat Shop lounging, with D.M.K., and sleeping in class! And if fate is kind, in 20 years we’ll all vote for him as finest Big Ten coach! Pi Epsilon Phi; Football ’33-’37; Basketball ’33-’37; “E” club ’34-’37. Louanna Baker A. B., Science, Home Economics Louanna got here two years late after a little delay at Miami U., and just when things were going strong, she took the semester off and went south. But on the other hand (a wart? no!) she couldn’t he expected to sit around just so we could admire the eyes, so deep as limpid pools (hi, Shakespeare!), and the knit clothes which just seem to roll off her needles. ’Pears lak to us thet she must belong to two fraternal orders of this chere institution! Such popularity, lady! Castalian; W.A.A., sec’y. ’34-’37; Home Ec. club ’34-’37, pres. ’35-’36; Y.W.C.A. ’36. Lewis Angermeier B. S., Business Administration, Economics . Twenty years later . . . Lawyer Angermeier walks to the bench . . . smoothes his hair (ah, yes) . . . clears j his throat (we know) . . . and words of golden wisdom { begin to flow (plop) . . . the jury leans forward . . . he talks, and all listen — “d’you see what I mean?” . . . | he gesticulates and sways the jury (jury sways) . . . his eyes snap . . . his manner is as decisive as his tongue ... he seems to be winning (jury breathless) , . . . he takes his final heroic stand for liberty and justice : for all . . . (jury falls off bench) . . . awww . . . too bad, Lewis! Pi Epsilon Phi, sec’y. ’35, treas. ’35-’36, ’36-’37; Y.M. C.A.; Men’s Council, ’36; S.F.F. Public Speech ’36-’37. Lois Ashby B. S., Secondary Education, Science This is not a senior with a blank expression but is the space reserved for one Miss Lois Ashby. “But really,” says Lois most convincingly, “I’ve been around so long that people won’t want to see my picture. I’d rather not fill out a blank.” And so, dear Lois, since assignments are assignments, since the editor is such a slave-driver (hi, Capel), and since it’s a shame to have anyone grad¬ uate without this parting shot, you may regret them thar woids! And since people in glass houses (including the ones in front of theatres!) can’t throw stones, we ask you to recall Lincoln’s immortal words, “with malice toward none!” ( 24 )

Elston Blythe A. B., Science, Biology From Fort Branch he came, in ’28, and ’29. and ’30 . . . and then again in ’36 (1—|—1 —I - 1—f-l=4, that must be right) and so now he’s going out to impart wisdom to the coming generation. Here they come a whole genera¬ tion strong, and he stands, a cool smile of assurance upon his face, his hand clenched! Will they trample over him, will they listen to his wise words, will he show the heart-shaped gingo leaf and the duodenum of the frog? Time will tell. In twenty years optimist Blythe will begin to part his hair in the middle! Y.M.C.A. ’28, ’29, ’30, program committee ’36-’37. Betty Bonham A. B., Language and Literature, English Betty really had a hard year last year and is just now recuperating, for if you don’t think editing a LinC and getting the Castalians to make wisteria by the bushel- basketfuls isn’t a real job, just try it sometime! And that explains why Betty has been taking things easier this year, knitting a sweater here and there, taking 43 English courses at once, and just swinging out now and then. Says Betty “Life is bitter, sweet!” Castalian, treas. ’34, librarian ’35-’36, social ch. ’36, vice-pres. ’36, initiation ch. ’37; Crescent ’33-’37; LinC ’33-’36, editor ’35-’36; Y.W.C.A. sec’y. ’35-’36; S.F.F. Pub¬ lications ’36-’37; Campus Notable ’36; Senior treas. Loraze Brackett A. B., Science, Mathematics The only thing that makes us even consider giving up Loraze to Ed is the arrival of the second Miss Brackett. Despite the pert nose and fancy coils Loraze has a mathematical tendency of no mean ability, which has recently been applied to prices of pans and curtains! And by her own confession, people, Loraze’s only mis¬ take of the last four years, was not meeting Eddie soon¬ er! It must be love.

Religious ’35-’36, vice-chairman ’37; Women’s Council treas. ’35-’36; Campus Notable ’37; Campus Leader ’37. Hilda Brackwinkle A. B., Latin and Home Economics Four years have really meant a lot to this young lady from Elberfeld; but in addition, Hilda has through her wide-spread interests and activities, been able to make a real place for herself in E.C. life. She’s the girl who has worked out some 10 or 12 majors (maybe 3), and in her dramatic life has proceeded from witch to elephant! Even so, she likes music, and has enough pep to conquer the whole state in her chosen teacher’s profession!
