If something is to be done, we can depend on “Buck.” FRANCES BROWN General Most dangerous are these quiet folks.” History Club IV; Dramatic Club IV. ' Peaches” has been with us all four years. Although she seems quiet to those who do not know her so well, to her friends she is a confirmed giggler.

General “Whatever is popular deserves attention.” Cross Country Squad II: Track Squad II: Orchestra I. Ill, IV: Senior Chorus IV; Operetta III: Cantata IV. Somehow or other.

Who does not enjoy “Ted’s” smile and. more than that, his serious moments when he is the sympathetic friend? An honest heart, a good mind, and athletic ability—for what more might Diogenes seek? At Haverford and in later life these qualities will shine. Add to this his interest in clubs that shows his spirit, and you have the reason for “Ted’s” popularity with everyone.

Harold is the mathematician of the class and therefore should be able to figure his way through the world. Next year Harold goes to Drexel Institute to study electrical engineering.
