MAKION BANCROFT “The time has come,” the walrus said, “to talk of many things!” We are fully agreed that “Marne” should go to Emerson, for did you ever know anybody who is so capable of waxing eloquent in true soap-box style on so varied a list of subjects ?

SHOGIIER ALTX BAGIIDOYAN Most people think that they know everything about Shog’her when they know of her ability as an artist and her sunny disposition and delicious giggle. But Shogher is really a mystery woman, for we know nothing about her real self.

Oh yes, Casa Loma will do for here comes Ewie! He was a varsity Footballer, found time to be president of the Junior class, contributed his golden bass-tenor to chorus and then, just for fun, be¬ came lieutenant of traffic— ' Ewie’s got to mingle, you know. And don’t think that Ewie’s heart affairs have the need of digitalis—Red hair goes pale when he enters Ford’s. Joking aside, Ewie has really done a great deal for the school and his gay nonchalance will be sadly missed. Born: Lincoln, R. I.; July 10, 1916. Hobbies: Walking “Dink” Toed.
