You should j see her pushing thru her lessons and pushing the hall down the hockey field, it doesn’t make much differ- ence to her, whether the hall goes under, over, or thru people so long as it reaches the goal. “Eddie” pushes people over hard places too, when they get stuck. An- other thing, “Eddie's one of these people you can count on every time, whether it’s Blowing up Basketballs, doing her Best on an entertainment committee, or writ- ing characteristic sketches for the Year Book.

(S); Prophecy Committee S). Williams College. Characteristic: Orations of Patrick Henry. ’His words, like poetry, are measured by the foot.’’ IF you follow up the melodious notes of the “Love Nest” rendered By a jazz orchestra via the phono- graph, you will find “Greeny” ensconced at his table, reeling off Latin translations to the rhythm of the music. But he sure to read over the dictionary be- fore engaging him in conversation; his Latin has al- ready taught him how to substitute two or three ponderous words for short expressions. His words flow sluggishly through your Brain, every third or fourth one leaving behind a hint of some deep meaning to the conversation. “Greeny” already tends to the firm and massive tread of some loquacious lawyer or statesman.

Characteristic: Notebook (For her Committees) “The labor we delight in, physics pain ” DO you know this young Miss? (be sure not to call her “Cow!”) If you don’t you have missed something. Marion is a good sport in sports, fun, and lessons. She is having a hard time to learn to swim, but that just shows she isn’t a fish. Marion is very loyal to her native land. New Jersey, and is always able to defend it by word and deed, mostly word. Marion’s giggle and sly smile are enough to pull any one out of the dumps. So take my advice and make her acquaintance.

Wellesley. Characteristic: Bluebird (For happiness). “As merry as the day is long.” Though “Freddie” is one of the three Seniors with bobbed hair, no one ean deny that she has dig- nity and a distinet presence, whether she is filling the Student Body President’s place, studying Ethics aloud on her back with her eyes shut, regarding the assembled class, casting her eyes upon you with a twinkle from the hall proctor’s chair as you rush by at 9.45, pro- claiming “The Ballad of East and West” from the platform, or appearing suddenly in the Senior Parlor with “Wlier-e r’s my hooks?” “Turn oft’ the radiator, please.” Whose voice was that at your door? It has a persuasive tone that has been known to bring people to Senior Tea in spite of their piled-up lessons, and all their good resolutions to study them, or many a time to bring quiet to a rebellious and disputing room-full of girls.

ALFRED WOOD HAINES Waring Road, Elkins Park, Pa. Entered—Pall 1919. Briglitonian ; (2): H'idio (2). (1): (S):. Treasurer (2). Viet President (1), President (S): Parliamentary (1).

Characteristic: Tin Soldier. “We'll see what cates you have— For soldiers' stomachs always serve them well.'' SPEED—that’s “Ally” in one word. lie’s fast all right—when he’s in his auto. When he is in school. Ally and his allies are inclined to he uproarious, his lo- cation in the dining room is always evident from the hearty laugh inspired by his humor (?). Docs he ever sit still on the Senior porch to enjoy nature? Yes, but it’s always human nature; his train- ing on Natural History seemed to lie in the same direc- tion. Nevertheless, Ally’s business head has been a boon to this Year Book, as well as to the Brown and White. Here’s hoping that Ally's speedy ways won’t bring his career to an early end. ROBERT LEE HAINES 54 East Main Street, Moorestown, N. J. Entered—Fall 1919. Brightonians (2): Kustie (2); (1). S): Parliamentary (1). (S): Union (1). (S); Natural Ilistorv Committee (S); Student Council (2); Secretary. Stu- dent Bodv (1): Year Book Board S): Assistant Manager Soccer ( f); Second Hank Skating (1): Class President (1); Triangle (1). (S). Characteristic: Compass. True as the needle to the pole— Or as the dial to the sun.” BOR,.......Feedle,” or “Prof.” are three of Haines’ nick- names, a lack of which lu will never sec. Each cognomen apparently comes from one of Bob’s hobbies. “Teedle” has been known to chase a beetle for a mile or more. When he captures a pet, he cages it up in a cyanide jar for future study. “Prof.” is a cynic who watches a good base hall game drowsily, and after a home run has been made, comments on the good exer- cise to he obtained from running around the diamond. But in reality this is merely a pose calculated to excite the base ball fans to argument. The rest of the time lie is “Bobbing” up in our groups to settle an argument with conclusive facts. Page 20
