VVhat is it this time, the Charleston on top of the desks in 209, or is it a handspring on the cafeteria's tahles? VVhat- ever mischief is afloat, BlOcky's sure to have a prominent part in it. Notwithstanding his reckless ways, Blocky's friends are many, and no wonder, for he's one of the finest fellows in Our class, and has done much for lmth class :ind school. PAUL BUULOS You've got a line ambition, Paul! and if you study like you have in high school, you'll get there all right. Paul is one of the greatest students of the class, always going from some- where to somewhere else in an awful hurry, He always has that frenzied look on his face of one who has a day's work to do and only an hour in which to do it. But Paul gets it done, whether it's French, or Latin fthat's where he shinesl. or Math. ARNOLD T. BOYCE lt is fair heyond any of our grind writers to do instice to the subject of this write-up. but as Andy would he very much offended if there was :i lilank lresitle his photo, we had to at least niake an attempt, 'liliere is so much good to he said ahout Arnold and so little space to say it in that it is hard to know which is the most important.

THE .-UI E 7' XY ILLIA M B. BIQONVN NYilliam, classmates, will at some future dat-: be at the head of the literary world. instead of the military world. He claims he is bound for Pudiek Military Institute tanother of those fine suburban suhoolsl. but we know he will be a novelist. He has already blossomed out with a simply wonderful lore story entitled The Bootleggerf' Though not yet on the market, we have hopes for this masterpiece. lfl.l'fANOR RUTH BUCKNAM .-Xlwhirl of skirts. twinkling toes. round. in- quiring eyes. and the bright Hash of a red head -- that's llucky.

CENTER Winnie is that tall, stocky fellow you sce entering sehool every morning with a news' paper in his pocket. He seems to have a :nania for news, because in the home-room period, just before the tirst period, you can always see Vt'innie reading his paper. Every- one else is taking one last look at his studies before the hell rings, but Venter spurns tht- books for the news of the world. NYlicncver you sec him in the morning without his daily nt-ws, you may he sure that something unusual has happened. liYlfRlfTT FOSTER CHAPMAN t'happie is the ultra-collegiate lad wit'i the curly golden locks. Any girl in the school would give hor right hand to possess them. but to date only one fair lady seems to have come anywhere near that, and she possesses the owner rather than the locks. t'liaupiu always seems carefree and gay: he apparently has that faculty, possessed by many. of romplctely ignoring the more sordid details of life, especially such things as studies.
