(Ehe Jfteather Ilatte 9 GEORGE DORSETT “For it stirs the blood of an old man’s heart and makes his pulses fly. Class President (2, 3, 4); Varsity Football (I, 2. 3); Captain (3); Senior Play; Class Track (4); Hi-Y. Our president, though bowed with the weight of years and care, is known as “Smiling George. He is known for the ready wit, the good humor, and the never-ending supply of candy with which he entertains his many friends. RUTH HOUGHTON “All wild to found an university for maidens.

(4); Vice-President (4); Lafayette Concert Committee (4); French Frolic (2); Class Day Dramatization Committee. There’s so much to say about Ruth that it s hard to know where to begin. We all know her ability as an orator and public speaker, to say nothing of debating. All that she does, she does well; and we can only wish her success in all that her ambition undertakes. MURIEL LAWRENCE “Dainty as the cowslip that nods on dewy hills. Class Secretary (3. 4) ; Springtime (4) ; Junior Prom Committee; Living Pictures (2. 3); Understudy Senior Play; Debate (4) ; High School News Editor (4) ; Senior Play Property Committee. If Muriel had nothing but her unique and perpetual laughter to recommend her. she would be a predated for that alone. However, to prove her extraordinary genius, we beg to leave to state that the height of her ambition is to wear a celluloid collar for the rest of her days, earn a million dollars, and possess a moth-eaten library.

VIRGINIA APGAR Yes, my power with the managers is pretty notorious. Orchestra (I. 2, 3, 4); Class Basketball (I. 2. 3. 4). Captain (3); Amherst Concert Committee (3); Lafayette Concert Committee (4); Debate Club (4). The industry of the bee is second only to that of Virginia, a conscientious student; a pursuer of Greek and of higher mathematics; an ardent stamp collector; an enthusiast ot basketball, tennis, and track; and a veteran of our High School Orchestra. Frankly, how does she do it? GANONG BLISS The man who blushes is not quite a brute. Class Basketball (2, 3); Weather Vane (2. 3); Varsity Baseball (I. 2, 3. 4). Captain (3, 4); A. A. Council (4); Hi-Y (3. 4). In the vocabulary of the class of twenty-five, the word Bliss is synonymous with the word blush.

Living Pictures (2) ; Weather Vane Play (3); Junior Prom Committee; Springtime (4); Weather Vane (4); Senior Day Play. No, Alice is not as demure as she looks in this picture.
