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 COMFORT Scientific “On their own merits modest men are dumb.” Assistant Baseball Manager III: President of Science Club IV: Class Lieutenant I. IV. 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.
