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

ROBERT I.. BRANDAUR JOHN H. BROW N. Jr. ROBERT LEWIS BRANDAUR Bob hails from the midst of the hard-coal regions, where men are men. and women are masculine, too. As a bellringer B D. (before Diet;). Bob proved himself best at ringing the 7:30 curfew at 8:00 in the springtime. His latest pet obsession was playing bridge a la contrat in that most frequented of haunts, the Brodhcck Clubhouse, where he doubled and redoubled with the best of them A sturdy Sturgis ('hem Bi-er and B lister as well. Bob's intentions are to hate women and go on to graduate school, beakers, test-tubes, thistle-tubes, retorts, and all. HELEN GERTRUDE CALDWELL Although masked by a reputation for quietness, this Philadelphia demoiselle has, on occasion, been caught making the oddest noises at the most peculiar times, including a shrieking mistaken tor a fire siren by the Mapleite “students hard at work producing silence Helen has also been found guilty of pfoofing away a large share of her time, the remainder of which is spent mainly in consuming ice cream, gathering sociological data from Elliott and Merrill, and in securing her professional training the Mr Man way. JOHN HENRY BROWN, Jr. Hail to Frankford's one and only day student. A1 though registered as a full timer. Jack spent more than most ot his time around “Her home. A student of diversified talents, ranging from unbeatable imitations of combustion engines to sketches of true aesthetic value, he found ample time to show his wares. With grim determination, he survived tin idiosyncrasies of football, soccer. and baseball managers to become one of their rank. Credit is due him for managing the business end of the Rt'BY as well as for founding the local chapter of the ”(Jo-ya-one-better club. CLIFFORD DONALDSON CALVERT. Jr. Cliff entered college towering over the rest of the class, and he leaves the same way, not only in stature but in athletics as well. Nine major sports' letters means a lot of activity, but Cliff has them, his best showing being made as one of Horse's meat choppers and co-captain of Hash's system players. As prexy of the class two years ago, he tried to put the freshmen to bed, but the skirmish following ended in a draw. His nightly entrance into the foot-races conducted by Fisscl led to an unenviable job as laborer for the Senior “Brawl. HELEN G. CALDWELL 26 C. D. CALVERT, Jr.
