Well, tl1at's a true character sketch of one of the most congenial fellows in the form. For Sam isn't happy unless he's doing something for somebody else. He came to Lawrenceville in September, 1936, and, after much dicltering, started his colorful career in the Cleve. He soon made his presence felt by going out for the house football team, playing no little part in the team's success. The next position he held down was that of fullback on the Cleve soccer team. However, Sam realized that he couldnt win an L by being on house teams: so he set to work to grab the baseball managership. His reward, of which he is justly proud. is a minor L. But don't get the idea that Sams accomplishments are centered entirely around athletics. He was one of the charter members of the Agapay Society, and was also il member of the Periwig Club and School Band. Sam has made a host of friends and admirers during his stay at Lawrenceville. It would, therefore, be super- fluous for us to hope for'his success. but we can say sincerely that Lawrenceville is a better place for his having been here. One llzrlzdred Fozfrteen

Back in 1933, he became a member of the Ross House where he startled his housemates by playing a regular end position on the Ross football team. Matty had that certain something about him that brought him many friends in a short time. Since then, Matty has strengthened these friendships and made still more new ones to add to his list. A familiar sight in this not too dead town is to see Matty dashing around in a handsome, grey Ford ac- companied by one or more of his many female ad- mirers. Matty often tells about his numerous girls to students attempting to study in the Library. YVe often wonder when he does his own studying with so much time spent with the fairer sex. but Matty always seems to get along. This fall. Matty expects to enter Princeton. Matthew Geis is not an unfamiliar name in Old Nassau. Mat- thew Geis. Sr., also went from Lawrenceville to Princeton in the capacity of head track coach. How- ever, we are certain that Matty will not have to rely on his name to be successful. One Hundred Fiftewz
