During the four years that joe has been our classmate we have come to know and appreciate his virtues. Beneath his calm exterior, he possesses the faculty of definite decision, and power of earnest application to the task at hand. Always obliging, he has made it pleasant for many people here, by his splendid piano playing. Joe is the boy who is always in demand when a good accompanist is wanted either for purposes of dancing or singing. He also has an excellent tenor voice. The community will be fort- unate which receives the benefit of his inherent and acquired potentialities. Good luck, Joe. RICHARD ELLIOT JASON 403 Commercial Street, Provincetown, Mass.

Studies, athletics, and social activities are easy victims to Dick's persistent nature. Dick often has strong convictions on the affairs of the day, and no amount of threats, diplomacy, nor imploring can make him alter his opinion. If Dick remains the good sport, real friend, and persistent worker that he has been at Normal, there is no doubt in our minds as to his assured success. May happiness and prosperity be yours, Dick. ...4 26 5...

VVith jim no task is too involved. Proof of this is found in his elaborate notebooks, and in his many thorough charts of Greek culture, Roman laws, and Norman institutions, or in his well-arranged lesson plans in science, based on McMurray's Teaching by Projects . In character and manners their supreme excellen- cy lies in their simplicity. 'We wish you success, Jim. -4 25 39...

In the fall of 1923 Bob descended upon us with a presence that has continued to be felt throughout our four years. His capacities are many. In scholastic work, sports, and clubs, he has shown himself to be overflowing with energy and initiative. If you have not witnessed an exhibition of this young man's speed and accuracy in passing the ball, you have missed a basketball treat. Your host of friends wish you the best of luck, Bob, all your life. 86 Broad Street, Bridgewater, Mass. Football, '23, Baseball, '24-'27, Basketball Second Team, '23-'24, Varsity, '26-'27, Freshman Floor Director in Gym, Sphinx Club, University of Illinois. Mike is a boy of few words but sound philosophy. In class we always noticed the look of glee on his face when a question of rather involved explanation was hurled at the class. Up would go Mike's hand, and the neces- sary information would shortly ensue. In work in the gym he is unusually proficient. W'hatever Mike attempted he did with a good will, which probably explains his success. We wish you success, Mike, in whatever you undertake in future life. ' ...Q 27 5...
