SENIOR! ALLEN L. BREEN ROBERT A, BRITT CHRIS A- BUCK Allen or Buzz'l, if you will, is one of the principal instigators of this book besides busying himself with the duties of Senior President. His scurrying about holding up alumni for Hadsl' has enabled the Senior-Ita to appear. His scurrying about may also be witnessed for fifty cents at every track meet: Allen spotted champion Ben Eastman of Stanford forty yards in the relay and brought up the rear in a hopeless race as an appreciative crowd applauded him. Bob Britt, or Bobby Britt as the sporting sheets call him, was the Treasurer of the Associated Students in his senior year so that you may judge that he is of impeachable integrity. He has slid and dashed around every basketball pavilion in Northern California at the guard position throughout his college career. He will be remembered as the fair haired boy who beat the champion Henry Clothiers in the last few seconds while playing for the Y.M.I. Chris fails to make his Monday classes just as assiduously as he points his right index linger in friendly repartee. Bored, aloof, and Worldly-wise, Chris surprised the student body by appearing in a track suit during the inaugural bank holidays, and showing two huge and immaculate legs. 12

'5l LEROY R. ASVITT 'IMXHLS I, BARRY LDVVARD 'l'. BRADY lt took the Ethics course to break the bored reserve of Leroy, Wherein, upon stated occasions, he rose up pink and indignant like the first flush of dawn, and, in a voice that tinkled like sleigh-bells, demanded a readjustment of comparative values of conduct and oughtness. Iim is the square-jawed, business-looking blond who has lured unsuspecting business men into addressing the august members of Tau Delta Beta, the honor- ary commerce fraternity of which Iim is President. He is one of the coterie of disciples who sit enchanted in class as the voluminous folds of Prof. Mountain's handkerchief dangle in the languid atmosphere. Ed is our nomination as the most nonchalant senior, his words seem to float gracefully from his mouth at the rate of about one per minute, and his placid, ambling walk seems to complete the picture of repose. Naturally, he isn't very voluble, but he is a master at Hooring anyone with a few well-chosen remarks. 11

l' WS. EDVVARD hi. BURKE EDWARD R. BURKE WILLIAM H. CARLIN Ed Burke is the lackadaisical fellow who has spent four years in college poking Whitney Olson in the back in class so that he might retail some stray thoughts about stray profs,' to his companion in boredom. Ed commutes from 'LMarvelous Marinw daily and the strain has begun to tell on him lately. This Ed Burke is another commuter, joining the procession to the hacienda of the Dons from rural Berkeley. A shock of yellow hair bent low over a few hundred blue books-that is Ed's favorite pose for he is one of those demon wizards who is recompensed by the Bursar of the college for corecting examin- ations. He is a demon mathematician and knows the batting average of every major league ball player by heart. We went to Bill Carlin to get some information for this vignette and got this reply: lust say Ilm quiet, unassuming, a good student, etcf, And that is about all the Senior-Ita has to say except to report that some of the staff wish to Hle a dissenting opinion, denying Bill's assertion that he is a quiet boy. 13 JI
