Bunny is the walking, living, breathing ex- ception to the rule that nobody loves a fat man . He has become one of the most important men in the school by his general willingness and co-operation. This is proved by the number of offices he has held while at school. He has found time to run the school store and make it pay! The gang will never forget you, Bunny, and wish that your future life may be as happy and successful as your life here has been.

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...

Glee Club, '24-'27g N. A. A., '24-'27, Football, '24-'25, Winning Tug-of-War Team, '25, Sphinx Club. 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...

The success of our baseball team for the past four years has been due largely to the superb pitching of Bob's great right arm. Bob has been great as president of N. A. A., and the manner in which he conducted the meetings certainly qualifies him as an A-1 presiding officer. Bob was the envy of the rest of his class in public speaking because of his oratorical ability. He has a splendid personality which has made him very popular here. Good luck, Bob.

May it ever be thus, Port, that everything comes easy for you. Best of luck! .ug 28 5-...
