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!

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 Gladys Bruner A. B., Language and Literature, English To Gladys goes the all-time award for poster making. Now for some people that wouldn’t seem like much, but when one puts out as clever ones as Gladys does, it’s a real stroke of merit. She was never heard to refuse aid to any harassed committee chairman, and though that may not seem so much, just count up the number of harassed com. ch. there are around here. Stick to it, Gladys, and your art will carry you far. (Hope you don’t have to walk home!) Pi Kappa Mu, critic ’35, vice-pres. ’36, pres. ’37; Thes¬ pian ’37; Orchestra ’34; LinC ’36; Y.W.C.A. cabinet ’35- ’37; S.F.F. Promotions and Public Occasions ’36; Inter- Society Council ’36-’37. Mary Alyce Carey A. B., Science, Home Economics There is something about a girls’ school which ordinari¬ ly stamps one for life, but we rescued Mary Alyce from McMurray just in time, and now her life stamp will at least be different. She has a busy life running from one place to another, to Princeton, to teach, to sing, to Sig (no, not a cold, thanks). What with her capable ways, home ec. major, and blond hair, she has the makings of a fine little wife! (Adv.)

Marjorie Carter B. S., Elementary Education, Phys. Education Marjorie is rather quiet, but she knows how to laugh and to enjoy life. Take for instance that trip to Chicago last year. She and Carl just had the best time walking around midst the germs of the Italian Ghetto calmly eating ice cream and dodging garbage cans and sock salesmen. Someone bought bananas, and wasn’t there an umbrella? (maybe prof!). Anyway, it was a fine experi¬ ence, and now Marjorie can really awe her school chil¬ dren with tales of travel!

B., Literature and Language, English As far as we can learn, Dorothy’s plans are to teach French, but on the other hand, she ees so, what shall we say? petite? that we sometimes wonder—can she handle her overgrown pupils? She has rather kept her light under a basket, for seriously, Dorothy is a fine little dancer, and one can’t be sure just what she may do in that line. Unless we’re being fooled, she’s one senior who’s graduating with her same refreshing naivete, and we like it! Gamma Epsilon Sigma; Y.W.C.A. ’33-’35.
