He is a wonder in science and some day we shall hear great things about his work in the scien- tific world. The Junior-Senior debate spoke volumes for Paul’s power to look deeply into things.

KEIRAN RIGNEY— “RIG.” West Bloomfield, N. Y. Prepared, West Bloom- field. Although a new member of our class, “Rig” has proved himself to be a good fellow.

Student Board, Senior Annual Board, Debate (3-4), Class Oration. Mr. Daniel Webster began compiling and editing his dictionary of the English language long before “Squeak” came into the world, so there are no words to describe sufficiently the genius of this fair-haired Apollo. “S. H. I.” states: He once talked French with two Frenchmen and hasn’t been right since. He also has the habit of playing “The Lyell Ave. Chimes” when Gottry is absent. An excellent third- degree man in every class.
