Thus it was that this little man captured two Lower School Debate Trophies and the coveted Raymond Debate Prize for Dawes. Bob's two years in Ross were well spent. He won his house letter and was elected presi- dent for his second year. Dawes was the gainer when Bob entered Circle. In him Dawes had one of her most brilliant and con- sistent high scorers in the scholastic Field. Known as a student of the inner recesses of frogs and things. Bob, when only a third former. captured the Biology Prize. Bob didn't stop when he entered Upper, but shot for even greater game. A minor L was soon his proud possession upon linishing a season of etliciently man- aging the swimming team. His literary abilities soon came to the fore, and this book contains many works from his prolific pen. Bob's popularity is unquestioned and has shown itself in his election to both the Science and the Bibliophiles Clubs. To wish Bob success is unnecessary: it's in the bag. One Hmzdred Tzuezzty-one

Bad luck dogged Ioe as he started his Lawrenceville l x career. He not only broke his arm in his first month in School, but got only average grades. However, his jf marks shot upward, gaining him a top position in his ' form as well as several prizes at commencement. His Fourth Form year was not restricted to scholarship alone, since he won a maior L in track before the winter was over. Both loess popularity and ability are evidenced in his activities this year. He holds the enviable position of president ol' the Cum Laude Society, as well as being secretary of the Herodotus Club and secretary for the winter term of the Pipe and Quill Club. Ioe, with so much to recommend him, hardly needs our best Wishes for continued success in college and all he undertakes. 'Nc 'X- fll1C'11IHll1l'C'd Twenty

George, however. is an obvious exception to the rule, for his activities form a well rounded example. Not only has he obtained the highest scholastic honor, Cum Laude, but also he has been an enthusiastic member of several Fifth form teams and the wrestling squad and has been active in the Science and Photography Clubs. Hank. in addition to the previously enumerated achievements, is even better known for his line dispo, sition. George has often experienced the particular jokes. so common to the third-Hoor wits. He has smiled at everything from dismantled beds to the reversal of the lock of his closet door. lt seems that nothing can seriously faze him. But George has also had experi- ences in those glorious free-for-alls which occur at any time of the being a member of that boisterous group which gives masters gray hair. lf his stay in Lawrenceville is a gauge, George will succeed anywhere he goes.
