Rollin Boe A Most often known as Ribbon, Rollin Boe is very tall, with blue eyes and blond, curly hair. His pet peeve is people who in-- sist on talking behind peoplels backs and appearing friendly to iftheir facesg and a well-justified peeve it is. He enjoys repairing machinery and automobiles as a hobby. Trying to play the guitar but not having much success, is another pastime he enjoys. Ribbons -future is a military lcareer as far is he is concerned, but it all depends on whether or not hc enters and graduates from the Annapolis Naval Academy. The qualities he likes in friends are the ability not to indulge in extensive smoking or drinking, and itheir loyalty and friendliness to everyone.

They are butter-brickle ice cream and butterscotch pie. i Ruth Bidleman Short, blond, and blue-eyed.

Collecting airplane pictures and keeping scrapbooks are her two favorite hobbies. Blue and rose are her favorite colors. Dancing or going on picnics are enjoyed by her for recreation. The latter is indulged in, rain or shine, it seems. It is said that she has been sitting on the floor of the park cottage enjoying picnic lunch in a drenching rain. . It could be said that, besides last-minute c1'amming for chemis- try tests, her pet peeve is being called Pooch, a nickname bes- towed on her by classmates. Ruth's ideal must be Well-man-- nered and be fun to be with. Looks do not count particularly.

Swiss steak and ice cream are his favorite foods and for recreation he likes to swim, skate, or just walk. As to the future, he plans to at- tend college 3 that is when the war is over. At present his hobby is at a standstill due to the scarcity of films. You see, he is very much interested in photography. He is a member of glee club, boys' quartet and science club.
