Here we have the crowning characteristics of a perfect scholar. Clair has accomplished the remarkable feat of passing everything from Bi- ology to Trigonometry in the last four years of school and now he has reached the highest pin- nacle of high school learning. Even when it comes to athletics, Clair is always somewhere near the top of the list. Clair has already se- cured his passport for the good ship Cornell, Well, Bon Voyage, Clair. W. EUGENE DENNIS llGene!! Forest Home Swimming Team fl, -I: llarliamcnt 1, 23 Science Club 2, 3, 4. This chubby, cheerful, lover of the out-of-doors, is one of the mainstays of the swimming team. As a plunger, he has won quite a few points for his Alma Mater. t'Gene is generally a quiet sort of a lad, but, should you get him out in his galloping Ford, you would soon see the change. We don't know what he intends to do after he graduates, though we think his mind is set in the direction of mechanics or science. But whatever he chooses as his life work, we wish him the best of luck.

Not because she raised the dickens, Did she get the name of Dick. All her courses easy pickin's, You can see her head's not thick. As we part, your hand we're pressing With this wish our hearts we fill: Neva, may you be successful ln after life and on the Hill.

Here it is, the one and only living specimen of a cross between a clam and a sponge. He is like a clam in that he never says much, but he can absorb knowledge as a sponge absorbs water. He has gone through high school so fast that the teachers could hardly keep up with him. Rog doesn't spend all his time studying. We are not sure as yet what Rajah will do next year, but he will succeed in whatever line of work he takes up. WILLIAM FRANCIS CORGEL Bill Wil-Yum Corgelicus 115 First Street Football 3: Track 4: Home Room Basketball 1, 2, 3: Home Room Baseball 1: Wreck of the Hesperus 1: Hero and Le- ander 3. If you hear that Bill's around, let us explain that Bill came to us five long years ago, a shy, bashful boy. During those years Will-yum did his best, and now look at his picture. That's his reward. Bill was a frequent visitor at Mr. Reals' office, and there was something magnetic about that office: ask Bill, he'll tell you. Now he thinks it's time to see what's on the hill, where the sun rises every morning falthough Bill never saw it risej. So long, Bill, here's good luck to you. We hope you get everything you go after.

Yes, Dough is going to leave us. She came from the Campus School four years ago into our midst, in order to try her hand in higher educa- tion. The time has been well spent, for aside from the fact that she has overcome the monster, Regents, she has also made many friends by her cheery smile and winning ways. The Seniors, in signing off from Station I, H. S., wish to an- nounce that we are glad to have had her as a classmate, and that our best wishes go with her.

Well, t'Pete has been a very dear friend, And I hate to think that this is the end. In fairness and courage, she seemed to gleam, Winning herself a place on the team, Her laug'hing eyes and charming ways Made her a success in Dramatic Club plays. Florence goes away to college next fall And good luck may she have, is the wish of us all. ROBERT PATRICK DRISCOLL CCB0b!! 423 East Seneca Street Congress Zi, 4, 5, President Pro-Tem 5: Glee Club 55 As- sistant Manager of Basketball 31 Manager of Basketball 4. You have undoubtedly heard of that famous institution, the I. H. S. Congress. Well, would you believe it-our little friend on the left is none other than the dignified speaker of said body and now and then, when a debate waxes warm, great bursts of oratory can be heard. Driscoll has been in the process of gradua- tion for some time, but now it looks as if it were really going to happen. Here's to you and yours, Bob. May you have a long and happy existence and don't forget you've got a chance to be presi- dent. THEODORE HILDRETH EATON, Jr. KlTedH 105 Brandon Place Ia- Cerclr Francais 3, 4: Science Club 2. 3, 4. No doubt you have heard about this young man before. Yes, you're right,-he's the entomolo- gist. Although still comparatively young, Ted has accomplished a great deal more than getting a high school education. In fact, Ted's time has been so taken up with entomology that he has not found much room for social or athletic activities. He has, furthermore, considerable ambition in the literary field, and it's certain you will hear of him later on. Best wishes of the class of '26, Ted!
