HALFORD HENDERSON AHR,LER “HAl ’ Hal fold is an ambitious young salesman, his main line of business being window-wash and neon signs. He’s not a shirker and always does his home¬ work, even if it is at dawn in chorus. In his spare time he plays the saxophone, but as far as that goes, his genius has been practically concealed from us. It must be his modesty! Born in Detroit, Michigan, December 24, 1919. Activities: Orchestra, Chorus, French Club, Gym Team, Swimming. Hobbies: Stamps, Leather Work, Driving. Scholastic Intentions: Military Prep School, and Harvard School of Business Administration.

She can be unexpect- ingly witty, with a passion to be stuibbornly lazy. Art and Maine are her strongest outside attractions. Her drawings show promise of outdoing Petty. We shall always be curious to find out what would happen to Ella’s enviable figure if she really stayed on one of the ever-threatening diets. Born in Winchester, Mass., April 12, 1920.

ROBERT B. BLACKLER, JR. “BOB” “BUNK” During the week “Bob” may be found hounding the eight-ball, but on the week-ends h-e goes skiing with the “spirits” at Plymouth, N. H. How much skiing is done by Bob is guessed by many, but known only by the spirits themselves.

KATHAR1NE BLAN(T1AR1) “PETIE” Sunny hair and a sunny disposition make a de¬ lightful combination, especially in “Pete”.
