ARTHUR PENBERTHY. Art, the poor man's joe Miller, though comparatively a newcomer to Flintridge, still shows indications of being a carefree fellow-signs which, I am told, are supposed to disappear as one becomes a Senior. Besides being an accomplished swimmer, he does nice work on the diamond. His laugh is like Turner's voice in legendary love, and usually heralds the extremes of high-school wit and humor. But Art is not always engaged in ribald comedy, for scholastic efforts show con- scientious improvement. Like all our futures, his is uncertain, but one can be sure that he will set about it in his usual jovial, self-reliant manner.

-'. R 1, 1 it as 'E Ai AE Q it Ti Wt at 3? W2 RALPH SKILLEN . . Behold, ye men of Flintridgeg perfection passes our gates but once! Who? Student and athlete compounded into one. C. S. F. Skillen has slipped through the com- paratively complicated channels with the ease to be seen only in his enviable back- stroke. With a nimble mind, Ralph has strolled from Flintridge with her highest scholastic honors. He is truly a man of thought qualified to tackle a situation in one hand, write its solution with the other, and tell a good joke at the same time. An irresistible personality, an easy-going perspective, an essential stability, and a keen understanding of life and the values of life are all traits that give Ralph perhaps the most enviable position in Flintridge's hall of fame.

RICHARD CRANDALL . . A great man once said, The things we know are neither rich nor rare, but I wonder how the divil they got there. He must have been looking toward Dick as a model when making such an observationg for the latter is very quiet and re- served most of the time, but when he does speak, the inspiration is momentous. Scholastically, he does steady workg athletically, he excells in pitching, guarding, and back-stroking. His staid cynicism is a legend at Flintridge, which adds comical Color rather than condemnation to this well-rounded and self-reliant fellow.
