M. C. A. He has taken a keen interest in athletics, holding a berth on the basket ball team for two seasons. He has just finished a successful year as manager of athletics and as Whittier's representative has stood for clean, honest sport. It is claimed that he knows where the chickens roost and that he can scent a melon miles away. However, we will not hold this against him, as he has high and noble ambitions, and a thorough foundation on which to accomplish some great things.

Albert M. Marshburn "Believe me, I speak as my understand- ing instructs me, and as my honesty puts it to utterance." Late in the 8o's all Texas was moved by the news that a red-headed son had come to live at the home of Dr. Marshburn. In a year or so the young son began to speak a strange tongue. This caused great worry- ing and amazement until certain interpreters were secured and revealed the fact that this unknown language was Latin. When "Doc" was six years of age his father decided that more ample opportuni- ties were necessary, so he moved him to El Modena, Cal. Aftr spending a few years getting the common elements of school life, he entered Whittier College as a first year prep.

At the age of seven she began to prepare for her calling in life by attending the Bailey Street School of Whittier. For several years she faithfully pursued her tasks and was rewarded in the end by being allowed to enter Whittier College preparatory. After, the four years of academy work she began these long grueling days through which all must pass if they would receive their B. A. A spell of illness caused her to lose half a year's work, but she pluckily resumed her studies when she had recuperated. That Claire will make a success is as- sured by the strong foundation which she has built and developed equally in all di- rections.
