JOHN DILLON Little skill have in courtly phrase Varsity Football (3); Class Day. 'J’HREE cheers for the boy who never takes any books home! John is this boy and how we envy him. As for tests, he always has the happy faculty of being indisposed at the end of the month. John is quite famous for his swimming abilities and is an important member of the Y team.

Perhaps some day Freshy” will be mistaken tor a true French woman—her accent is truly excellent. If we all had hair like Freshy's. the hairdressers certainly would go out of business. BERYL CURRY Thou hast not the poivcf to circumvent nor to persuade me thus. Class Hockey (3); Varsity Hockey (3); Debate Club (3); Senior Day Play (3). JJJeryl sports more cawnt's and “absolutelyY’ on strong opinions upon every subject in general, and upon the superiority of jolly old John Bull in particular, than any one in the class. She'll probably spend her life preaching the doctrine of futility and vamping her opponents. JOSEPHINE DAWSON Thou pet a ilt f(non my heart “Jo is a daydreamer as is shown by her idealistic German poetry. She is a hard worker when she gels started. Her tiffs with a young cousin haven t seemed to embitter her toward the opposite sex. Jo has a straightforward nature and can't complain of a retiring disposition.

(I) ; Senior Play Com. (3); Holiday Play Com. (I); Quotation Com. (3). JN spite of a maroon Ford roadster which carries her arcund, Marjorie keeps up her high academic standing. As she is an able debater, we wonder what happens when she and Johnnie argue. We think it fortunate that Marge's alumni correspondence is public. WILLIAM ESTWICK With words well ordered, courteously he spolfe Spanish Club (I); Slide Rule Club (2). jJONT break into Bill's house at night. We've heard that he has a collection of knives that are ready for use. Bill’s crazy about chess and can beat any of us in a game. He deserves a medal for asking questions in English; for he keeps some of us out of trouble.
