His place in the class estimate was defined when he be- came our second president, and no one will deny that he has been one of the biggest men in our ranks. And speaking of bravery, he was one of the first men in the class to marry; he staged a come-back in debating what was a come-back; and he fought valiantly with the minority, in our political battle. Lester Rood Mosher, A.B. Sen; Berlin Forum (1. 2); Devil's Own; Intercollegiate Debates; Verdict Board. Managing Editor; Volleyball; Gamma Eta Gamma. What is life, without a wife , eh, Le$?

Rumor has it that the Junior league flag is to be at half- mast the day Bill says “Good-bye to Albany, or is it only “Au 'Voir ? And tell us. if you can. how this ser- ious. dependable student can combine high marks with high flying. There was one non-stop flight after a basket- ball game which concededly takes first prize.

We hear Jim once piled up some library tables, but we’ve never seen him pile up anything but books in our library.
