Finis was a member of the basketball team. ULDRIC BATTLE--Lazy, care-free Uldric, with the mind of the "upper third", but he won't use it unless he takes a good notion to. He can succeed in anything he wishes hard enough to do. Someone please inspire him to wish to! WOODROW DANIEL--Witty, mischievous, well-like Cedric, as he is called.
