THEODORE BURGESS This handsome young man can be found almost any afternoon at Shaker Square listening to polkas or other forms of popular dance music at John Wade's record shop or down be- low. His great shiny, cream-colored Buick is the envy of many a U. S. boy, and Ted may well be proud of his convertable with the blue stripes. At school Ted comes to the front in Pop Foster's history class, where he usually argues the negative side of any question, being a very conservative fellow, and also in Dr. Peters' Civil Government class, where he shows his extensive knowledge of current af- fairs. Ted is a connoisseur of the story and of travel. Many a lad has come near having convulsions while laugh- ing at Ted's hilarious and very much exaggerated stories about boys, girls, parties, and other occasions of interest. As for travel, Ted has taken in every- thing from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to the highlights of the gay New York night life. On these trips we are told that Ted and his companions had many very interesting and enjoyable experiences. Next year Ted intends to pack his belongings and trudge on down to the land of sun and beaches to attend that school of schools, Rol- lins, where we are sure he will carry on in the capacity of a good student and a good fellow.

He stands far above the other members of the class, being some odd six foot- four in height and his broad smile adds a cheerful touch to the school atmos- phere. During the afternoons this denison of the ether spends his time in Mr. Grant's room, as he tries to follow the course of a complicated algebra problem, or driving from the school to indulge in one of his favorite pastimes, caking. Andy, a member of the Edward Moore society, is always surrounded by an admiring crowd of youth who wonder at his great height and basketball ability, and to whom he always displays his suave charm. His greatest accomplishments, how- ever, have come on the basketball floor where he has coupled his great height with an uncanny ability to shoot baskets, to produce one of the finest players in recent U. S. history. This blond giant co-captained the team to many thrilling victories last fall and his graduation will be a severe blow to the team next year. Andy jour- neyed to Michigan U. this spring where he got his first touch of college life, and he will probably further his studies in this institution, or join the invading host of Dartmouth.

BEN BOYNTON Heh, heh! Shore is purty dern goodll' No, this is not an obscure African native, or a rare variety of the par- rot, it is merely Ben Boynton putting on some of the accent he gathers among the corn stalks on his farm near Perry, Ohio. If at any time you should want Ben, that's the place to look, and you'll probably find him hard at Work any time between the hours of six a. m. and 8:30 p. m. Here at U. S., Ben is an old timer. In his own quiet and unobtrusive way, he has piled up a list of achievements which would make anyone lick his lips. Besides belonging to both Ed- ward Moore and Cadmean Societies, Ben upholds the Glee Club with a deep, resounding bass. In his spare time he blows fuses and tinkers with lighting effects for the Players' Club. He has also been instrumental in put- ting out the Mabian. In the line of sports, Ben has plugged at varsity football year after year in spite of his light weight, and can be found doing the lengthy 220- yard swim with an easy, course-cover- ing stroke during the winter. Spring has, until this year, found him pound- ing the cinders with the track squad. This year, however, he has turned his talents toward the tennis courts, where he is fast making a name for himself.

CHARLES BRADFORD This hard working social rounder may be seen any nice sunny morning parked in front of Hathway Brown enchanting the girls with his smooth, unerring line. His sparkling sense of humor takes much of the boredom of classes away, and he may always be depended upon to make the best of any situation. Chuck has left his mark on U. S. in many ways, among them a scar on Mr. Waltonis door. He is a member of the high-flying tennis team, where he has performed excellently, one of the leading mem- bers of Cadmean and of Edward Moore, and next year plans to attend Cornell. No mellow master of the meats and drinks is he, and no party is quite complete without his scintallating presence. He may often be seen flash- ing by with his wife in his shiny blue Mercury or whizzing out to the Country Club to shoot a round of golf with pater or some of his class- mates. During the summer he usu- ally joins several of his more intimate friends and journeys into the wilds of Canada to get a much needed vaca- tion after a hard year of school, but these little jaunts provide him with little rest. Chuck has left an enviable record at U.S., and the school Will lose a fine fellow when he departs.

THOMAS CASTLE Tom Castle is the man with a smile from ear to ear, and this smile does not go unnoticed as his popularity testifies. This promoter of Senior room mischief is a member of both the Cad- mean and Edward Moore societies, and his timely remarks at meetings add much to make them enjoyable. On the athletic field his prowess is much known also, as he sparkled in the left end position on the football team, and as a swimmer on Mr. Munson's swim- ming team. In his studies Tom ranks extremely high, receiving honors ev- ery month. His themes and short stories help to make the task of grad- ing papers a pleasure for the teachers rather than a task, and his great fund of general knowledge adds much to his class standing. During the Spring vacation, Tom took a jaunt down to Florida with John Gale, where he improved his swimming, spent many nights at the palacious Lido Beach Casino, and brushed up on one of his favorite hob- bies, bowling. As a bowler, Tom ranks high among the U. S. keglers, and few can match his consistently high scores. .J Cum Laude --4: Cadmean Societye-4: Class Base- balls-2, 3, 4: Gym Team-4: B Basketball-2. 3: Class Soccer---2, 3, 4, Captain-4: C.E.E.B.

S. from the far west, well, anyway, Bay Vil- lage. When not engaged in talking about the magnificent virtues of this wonderful spot, whose leading suburb is Cleveland, our wavy haired pal can usually be found over in the dorm disturbing the general status quo of Pickands Hall proceedings, and to- gether with his room-mate, Schindler, he brings many a gray hair to the heads of Messrs. Grant and McLellan. However, King is one of those men who finds time to accomplish all of his tasks and still have some fun, as he pointed out in his Senior speech, Litzfing on Twmzfy-fozzr Hours a Day. When not working to maintain the honor average that won him Cum Laude, the King can be found Writing up his Dorm column for the News, doing tricks on the parallel bars for the gym team, or dropping around to add a little humor to Cadmean meet- ings. As one of the Mabian joke edi- tors, King was seen this spring snoop- ing around some of those off the record conversations in order to gather material for this publication. Next year Cayce goes to bat at M. I. T., where we know he'll continue to carry on in fine style, helped by that smooth Bay Village personality.
