Qs-xii 'Eg l-22.45 fj XE? CJNE can see often moving about Upper a spectral form lost in a daze of deep thought and reverie. He is shrouded in mystery so as to make a casual observer think of magicians and weird, romantic. Far-Eastern sages. However, one is soon brought to realize. with perhaps a jolt, that it is only Defo Hunter quietly pursuing his way. Even though he is quiet and unassuming, Defo likes to air his knowledge and skill. especially in physics. He selects someone not acquainted with that subject and dares him to ask a question from the book. No matter what the question is, Red gives the answer with apparent ease. VVhen the question is easy. Defo shows his scorn of the fellow's choice and passes on. ln a winter term bull session this year the subject of discussion turned to stomachs and their capacity for holding liquids. Defo boasted that he could drink one hundred Coca Colas in a day, and was soon met with many challenges. He was offered tremendous sums of money by various parties to do as he had proposed. but as yet the lure of gold has IIOK prompted him to risk his health. Om' Hzmzfred Eigfzleezz

Preparing for HS. tourse at Dartmouth. Kg 'XL 'Eg jf 24,2 6, C IAMP came to Lawrenceville four years ago and has changed very little since we tirst knew him as a rhinie in Kennedy. On leaving the Circle. he heeame .1 charter member of the philosophical group which met on the Esplanade from eight in the morning until ten at night. VVhile in Kennedy, Champ was outstanding as an athlete in football. basketball, and hasehall. Coach Craig was delighted to have such a versatile performer and hated to see him leave. Champ has a ready ear for a good story and is always prepared to match the hest. Through the medium of his stories and iokes he has told us much about Hammonds- port. His leisure moments are usually spent reading weighty hooks and handling rather hulky eorrespon- dence-no one knows with whom. During the winter months Champ was one of the regular memhers of Mr. NVyman's Bowling Congress in Princeton. and we are told that he made his mark in that activity. Prize-winners in George are few, hut here we have one who has taken a prize in Spanish. However, Champ's popularity is not due to this award, hut rather to his perpetual geniality.

He has left the South liehind. hut is still hrmly hound to it hy his large numher of daily letters, which some- times swells to the total of tive or six at one delivery. He loyes his golf, which he plays during the entire season: he loyes hoats. of which he often talks: and he loves cars to such an extent that he can almost tell you the registration numlwer ol' eyery passing moclel. If there is anyone in Lawrencexille who likes hgs. he may he interested to know that Holi is thinking ol' i establishing a Hunter Fig Corporation in Lawrence- yille. He has acquiretl .1 supply in preparation for his l grand opening. which may he in the very near future. Yes. a supply of fifty pounds of the hest quality ngs was recently cleliyeretl to Holm. But since the Lawrenceville market has not yet heen llootletl hy this prodigious l reserye, it must be that he expects a fig shortage and a consequent rise in prices. or perhaps he is just insuring himself against the ravages of an extremely yoracious appetite.
