MARY HELEN ALSPACH AGNES MAY BAKER ’■-IIPP MARY HELEN ALSPACH Pour years ago, a blonde-haired young lady with a flash ing smile attracted the attention of everyone as she entered lair Ursinus’ portals. Today the same flashing smile greets all entrants to South's reception room where this feminine Co head of the famed P. P Club holds sway. Mary Helen, the daughter of a director and sister of a big shot , is characterized by a natural air of indecision and a serious ness that makes her an easy victim to the pranks of her playful hall-mates-uid Phi Psi sisters. AGNES MAY BAKER If the walls of the girls' day study could talk, the class’ one and only Aggie might he made to Hush. Since her first year, she has shown a love of the forensic art by indulging each noon in heated arguments, ranging in topic from the latest chocolate cake recipe to Willauer’s ideas of romantic love and whether or not tears arc a defensive mechanism. Even greater subjects for oratory were de rived from those practice teaching episodes in Norristown on which the Studie was turned into a taxi and was driven like one. HERMAN BASSMAN Heimy . the man who intercepted and ran back a pass for fifty yards and our second victory over Penn in history. Reds is also a real hard guy among the grapplcrs, his greatest worry being to find opponents unafraid to stand up and fight. Although he began his athletic career as a frosh home-run king, he never developed in the national pastime, as his legs proved unadaptable to rapid circling of bases. He first ventured forth socially as a soph, but really blossomed forth in this respect when Gertie descended on the campus. HARRY MYERS BEAR On five days of the week Harry has generously sacrificed a part of his time to go to school and keep his classmates m good cheer. That he succeeded m doing this is appreciated by all with whom he came in contact (and probably by those not so fortunate). This effervescence kept up even when confronted with that three o'clock Ed. class. Seriously though. Harry, unfortunately unable to graduate with lus original class, has come back to complete his four years at Ursinus only by overcoming serious obstacles. HERMAN BASSMAN 24 HARRY MYERS BEAR
