Entered Blake 1926 Hen“Bud” “Keed” Princeton “Only an author knows an author s cares ” During his four-year sojourn at the school on the hill, “Hen” has discovered no small number of pleasant diversions calculated to break the monotony of the daily grind. Not least among these is the interesting process of engaging the R. R. Doctor in deep, and to most of us rather obscure theological discussions. Many a time, his dark, deep-set eyes glittering craftily, and yet rather amusedly, has this master of sophistry woven a strong and tangled web, only to sec, on the eve of victory, his resourceful prey shatter those seemingly hopeless entanglements by a simple twist of the wrist—a jingle of the after-luncheon bell. But aside from these momentary disappointments, there can be no doubt, that taking it all in all, the “Keed” has led a happy and carefree existence at the Alma Mater. Year after year, the Northrop Damsels have thrilled to his histrionic efforts, now as Father Daly, the prison chaplain, and now as the dashing Captain Ashby of the India Army. As a poet (Jiffy Jingler) and as a writer, “Hen” has shown great possibilities, and the extent of his vocabulary has on several occasions momentarily paralyzed the English class. He is leaving for the East some time next fall, and who knows but that the ivied walls may at times echo with astonished Tiger roars wafted gently back on the fresh New Jersey breeze.

I. T. “What better than to work and keep from sin ” “Hardworking John has proved his mettle by consistent, slow, but sure work. He has taken a prolonged beating on the second team in football for three years, but has won a well-deserved letter on the first team in his fourth and senior year at Blake. John has made many unsuccessful attempts to twist his right leg around his left ear and write a theme with his nose on the desk; his failure in the latter is no doubt largely due to lack of practice. In all probability he will develop this extraordinary method of study by steady perseverance in college. His rakish figure and distinguishing walk should prove of value to him at M. I. T. where he will delve into minerals and attempt to learn a bit about technique. The keeper of the store, succeeding the well known Tadpole, has not yet learned to pick out forgeries and thefts, but he says that the losses will be made up in the end by the increase in the sale of athletic supporters and arm bands. The dramatic ability of this strapping, six-foot rascal has revealed itself in several presentations. His characterization of the father in “Station YYYY” was a good bit of acting. As the head-waiter of the lower school lunch period he has astonished the small boys with his skill and daring in transporting large stacks of dishes safely through the swinging doors. The hard-boiled waiters themselves were even moved when he lopped off the top of his finger while driving the breadcutter. M. I. T. will greet such an engineer with open arms. P«jgc Tjverity-five

With this background he soon became one of the leaders of the class, and has held this august position, off and on, ever since. From the earliest years Chutie’s ability as an athlete has been marked. He is one of the few men to have earned four letters in football, and because of his talent, this year found him captain. Besides this, he has starred for several years on both the hockey and baseball teams. Outside of athletics, Fritz’s activities have been many and varied. He has been our representative on the Student Council, and he headed that organization this year. During his four years in the Dramatic Association he has taken leading parts. As Business Manager of the Call O’ Pan Fred will long be remembered making the frantic appeals for ads, which finally tore down the sales resistance of the student body. From all this one would be led to believe that our Head Boy was quite serious minded. On the contrary, as soon as he enters the Senior Room he lays aside the cloak intended to inspire awe in the members of the lower school, and again becomes one of us. To test his strength he incurs the wrath of a bridge foursome, and they try vainly to put him out. Next year Fritz intends to join the former Blake Head Boys at Dartmouth, and it is our firm belief he will be able to follow in their footsteps. Page Twenty-seven
