AU WERTER Screaming tires, screeching brakes, and a calm faced, briefcase-lugging boy steps from behind the wheel of a large powerful car to begin once more the long, hard grind that is school. Jaunt- ily hc makes his way to the door and is greeted by a various assortment of Hi, Buds, to which he replies in any number of voices from a low bass to a high soprano. The school day has begun for Bud Au Werter. Throughout this day, he will take his place among the hub-bub of busy students, making his trip to the Glee Club practice, where he chirps a commendable second tenor, and is incessantly tagged by his ever- present, impressive, atmosphere creat- ing brief case. During his career at U. S., he has al- ways been classed as one of the cards of the 1941 Class. He is always ready to draw out a bit of humour from his vast storeroom of bad jokes. He also hands a line to the fair sex that has stumped many a pretty lass for a while. Bud was an active member of the soccer squad this year, and par- ticipated in the harrowing work done by the gym team. He has set as his collegiate goal, M. I. T., toward which he has been giving his all, almost, any- way.

CHARLES BAKER Chick Baker has assumed the po- sition of one of the outstanding mem- bers of the Senior Class this year. He is the president of the Cadmean soci- ety, tl member of Edward Moore, and an excellent athlete. Hailing from Akron, the best little town in the world, the handsome brute may be seen any Friday afternoon, setting a new speed record between Cleveland and his home town in his flashy Ford. He is following admirably in his brother Bill's steps in improving the dorm's interests scholastically and socially. On the athletic field Chick's ac- complishments are numerous. Since his Sophomore year this dynamic Cle- mon has held down the left tackle position on the football team, and in his Senior year proved to be one of the most valuable members of the team. During the fall his interests shifted to wrestling where he showed great pro- mise, but due to a bad knee his career was cut short. In the spring Chick may be seen out on the track throwing the shot for Mr. Grant's track team. Next year Chick will visit Dart- mouth College where he will un- doubtedly carry on the high standards he has set for himself at U. S., and we all hope that U. S. will find as capable a boy to lead Cadmean next year.

XVILLIAM BASEY BAXTER Any afternoon at five, if you hap- pen to enter Mr. Riley's little den in the dormitory, you will see four young men grouped around a table. If you look closely Cthat is, if you can see through the hazej you will observe a well-groomed, Slick-shaven, dapper little gent who is just about to trump his opponent's ace. Yes, this meticul- ously dressed little fellow is Billy Bax- ter, Who was one of the charter mem- bers of Mr. Riley's afternoon bridge club. Dorm denizens call him Laugh- ing Boy. Others just stop and won- der at this silent, sharp, slow-moving little fellow. When Bill isn't expounding the Cul- bertson system, he spends his time slugging away on the tennis court or plunging in the swimming pool. Al- though Bill is of petit, square stature himself, he is the big grocery man of the dorm, and nightly supplies the residents with a feast. He has a drawer full of food that would make Mr. A. 86 P. envious. Bill is one of those seven-day board- ers who sees his first love, Toledo, about OIICC a month. By the many special delivery letters that Bill re- ceives, we are led to believe that To- ledo must be more than just another hamlet in Cleveland's back yard. Bill believes that he will haul up to Brown next year and continue to enchant with his suave, silent manner. Class Tennis-4: Class Basketball-4: Class Base- ball--4. HENRY BEAM Henry is a fellow who has toured the circuit and finally landed at dear old U.S. this year. He hails from the illustrious little city of Mt. Vernon and resides at Pickand's Hall five days a week, his cell mate being honest Ev Myers. Henry is a quiet and reserved lad in the halls, but when he gets up to give a speech in Pop Foster's history class, his eloquence holds the au- dience spellbound. In his Senior speech, Henry told about air-cooled and water- cooled airplane engines in his inimitable bombastic, yet serious manner. Henry spends his winter afternoons dribbling circles around the other fel- lows in Mr. Mac's class basketball league. Cagey, speedy, and accurate, Henry causes the other basketballers to stumble around looking for the ball when he has already put it through the bucket. Beamus, Cthat's the moniker the dorm boys have pinned on Henryj, spends his evenings poring over his biology book in collaboration with his roommate, Ev Myers. Together these fellows have been known to spend an entire evening trying to figure out whether the Islands of Langerhan are in the stomach or whether they are a naval base in the Pacific. Up at Brown next year Henry should continue to lilt the profs as well as the ladies with his smooth man- ners and mannerisms.
