HENRY JOSEPH AMY .-ls .mule lull rliji' that lifts its trzcful fUI'lll .... Henry vl. hates to admit it, but he is guilty of being born in Brooklyn, on the tenth of May, eighteen ninety-Five. However, he moved to New York at the tender age of ten and soon managed to forget it. You notice we used the word managed 1Yell. that expresses exactly our idea of Stretch. He is a natural-born manager. ln Freshman he undertook to put the Iiordlztzm ,llontlzly on a paying basis, After two and a half years, he succeeded where others had failed. He then served as Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Junior Prom. llesides this he has managed plays, play pro- grams and the Tennis Team with his cus- tomary success. As Business Manager of the MAROON he has reached the height of his managerial career, s Speaking of height, Amy is the tallest man in College, being 6 feet 4544 inches above sole- leather. Upon arrival in Heaven, Henry will probably attempt to sell advertising space on the back of his wings. How will the angels ever resist? 26
