l25TH ANNIVERSARY ISSUE 0 0 0 0 OAKLEY- Strong Cieorge was embarrassed by the number of ex-class- mates that shook hands with him at the Competitive Drill. Still, we suspect he and Bolton were the only ones who appreciated Colonel Donner. PEARSON-The problem child grown up-just a problem now. Spends days and nights telling himself stories about geniuses and millionaires who couldn't get through High School. The intelligent can but won't,' type. PERKINS-Everyone thought Perk was foolish going way to Amsterdam every Friday night. l-le didnit look half so foolish when he came to school Monday morning in the same clothes we left him in Friday driving a 6F Chevie. PURDY-Our john can be neatly described by one word-'inoln l-lis only nightmare is the ever-present image of joe Venuti batting balls all over the lot with a stradivarius. RICHTERS-Ceorge amuses himself by racing to the station and just miss- ing a train he wasn't going to take anyway. The morning he came in five minutes early, Mr Nason sent for Benny to check the clock. ROCKEFELLER-The demon of the marble floors leaves his last class at the first tinkle of the last bell and is half way down Academy road before it stops. l-le likes l-litler, jean l-larlow lshels still playing in Stuyvesant Fallsl, C. lVl. T. C. Camp and just can't wait for us to declare war on Russia. ROONEY-Cap Townsend has a special job waiting for Andy when the next war comes. As a conscientious objector , Andrew will pick up all the dud shells, lecture to japanese soldiers on the value of Christian ethics and cover the Chinese waterfront. SLINCERLAND-Sling's answer to the Admission Director's question, 'il-low much are you passing? was About forty yards. SMITH-Glen is resigned to this education business. l-le was the only man in jo l-lenry who sat still during Newton's experiments. STEINA- the muskratis pal .

0 0 Q 0 THE COMMENCEMENT CUE CLASS l-IUMORESQUE BELL-A nice little fellow who developed an inferiority complex when we squared off his nice round Boston accent. As Second Lieutenant of A Company, Squirt wasn't a man to look up to. BOLTON-When we asked the stylist how his nurse was and he answered Very good meaning efficient, we knew he was sick. When bigger and better wars are fought, Dick wants to fight them. CLIFTON-- Powerhouse is looking for a nice college with a brook run- ning through the campus. Snuffy fishing for brook trout is like a contractor looking for a needle in a haystack with a steamshovel. COHN- EVANS-l-lank wears the pants in his family and if they don't like it, he gets a new pair. l-le's always after a new polo pony-if wishes were horses, lvlr. Evans would take an awful ride. FORKEL-Well, we can't all be perfect. At Graduation we suddenly woke up to the fact that Kurt was still in the Sixth Form. C-REENOUCI-l-lf john doesn't take the hair out of his eyes, someone's going to enter him in a pet show as a skye terrier. That's the most opposite thing from a brush-cut there is. I-lAC-EMAN-The King among Student Princes writes exclusively in in- delible ink. l-le was the Faculty's one consolation for the rest of our great Sixth Form. l-llLL-Tom knew all the answers to the little lady's questions as long as she didn't ask him where he was going to college. LLOYD-lf Dickie Boy meant anything at all, he probably meant well. lVlACARTl-IUR- Mac is the only radical in Sixth l-listory-he thinks Communism is unbearable. The Admiral wanted to join the Boxer Rebellion, but Mr. l-lahn explained carefully to him that it was all over. Page twenty-eiglzt
