HERE we have none other than the illustrious editor of the LANVRENCE, known about School for the swell job he has done with that publication. And believe me it is a job to see that the paper is published on time. By others than the Lit Board, it is univer- sally agreed that the LAXVRENCE has been vastly improved. Three years ago Darwin originated his Esplanade and Circle Column fthe local VValter Winchell sectionj and ever since the LAXVRENCE has been gaining steadily in popularity. Darwin is also famous at Lawrenceville for his col- lection of commencement prizes. In fact, he has accumulated a library of books awarded for various scholastic achievements. Dar's participation on numerous athletic teams has given him a line physique, which, together With his winning personality, has made him an object of ad- miration by the opposite sex. For the past two years he has received a lengthy letter almost every day, over which he goes into raptures each time. They tell us itis from a young lady of Boston. Moreover, it is reported that Dar is already cultivating a Boston accent so that he may impress her When he goes to Harvard. One Hznzdred Fozzrteezz

NVC vvould hate to say how many hours he and lack Meiners have spent trying to translate dilhcult German passages. It is this subject that causes him to stay up far into the night. In tennis lim is almost as good as in polo, and warm. sunny spring days hnd him hammering drives all over his opponents court. In pinglpong he was unofficial champion of Raymond and is among the best players in School. Scouts from Princeton have convinced lim - that he should play polo for Old Nassau next year.
