RALPH GREENE Commercial Course Gentle Reader, do not be deceived. Ralph's surname has not the slightest connection with his character. On the contrary, we find him anything but “green.” Ralph generally knows what he is talking about when he says anything. He is always ready to give a fellow a helping hand. MAURICE HENDEL (“Moish ) Orchestra (1); Debating Squad (1); “Regiment of Two” (3); ' Weasel'’ (3); Potpourri (3) (4); Vice President Dramatic Club (4); “Whole Town’s Talking ; Scientific Course. “Isn't that gentleman the famous actor, Mr. Mcighan? asked an interested lady. Naw,” said Gipstein, “he's neither of those; he’s 'Moish'. Maurice is the sort of fellow that production managers are looking for. His dramatic ability ranks among the first in the school. JOHN S. HICKEY (“Hick ) Pin Committee (I); Julius Caesar (3); Annual Board (4). They call him Hick, but do not run away with false impressions, for John is anything but a hick. He is one of those likables in whom one is willing to place his confidence. His literary ability and humor was sufficient to place him on the Annual Board. HARRIS HOWE ( Deacon ) Committee for Charles B. Jennings Memorial (3); Classical Course. They call him Deacon, but—well, we'll let the W. M. I. misses tell us how those magnificent curls of his entice them. Harris is a good boy, and we are sure that in due time he will contradict that adage concerning the wildness of ministers' sons, and make something really worth while of himself. BULKELEY

SAUL GERSHOWITZ ( Gertie ) Classical Course. Gertie took a trip to New York a while ago, and as a result was not seen in school for a few days. Let this be a warning to you, O butterflies of society, for the “Big City is a wicked, wicked place. LOUIS GIPSTEIN ( Gabby ) Classical Course. A man at the very pinnacle of knowledge—ready to fall off. One of these days, Gabby is going to take William J. Bryan’s place in Congress. Louie has been suspected of socialistic instincts, but, then, who wouldn't turn radical with all the fellows “pick-ing on him? JOSEPH D. GITLIN ( Yosef ) Debating Squad (2); Biology Club (4); Scientific Course. It has been said that Yosef’s continual tardiness is due to the way in which he dresses, but then tardiness at social affairs and a neat appearance denotes aristocracy. Joe’s one delight is to attend Chem class, where Mr. Laurence's sonorous voice soon lulls him into the realm of Morpheus. JOHN B. GRAY Classical Course. Johnny is the kind of fellow you can never get anything on. Just a regular guy, you know. But we often wonder why he insists on strolling by the Mystic Oral School in the presence of a certain young lady, whose name we refuse to disclose.

HYMAN ITZKOWITZ (“Hymie ) Class Baseball (2) (3); Baseball (3) (4); Classical Course. Hymie is another of the fellows who occupy “Pullman seats in sixth period History class. When a fellow's marks soar toward the blue, and he himself is well liked, what more is there to say? GEORGE E. KINMONTH (“Kimmie ) Classical Course. Wal, by heck, a man from the old home town, amid the farmyards and clamshells. Kimmie's one joy is realized when he corrects Math papers. Everybody likes Kimmie, but not on account of the Math papers. His blue eyes and crinkly blonde hair must play havoc with the Mystic girls' hearts. WILLIAM KIP (“Van ) Editor in Chief, Junior Review (3); Tennis Team (2) (3) (4); Budget Committee (4); Radio Club (4). Here's a man! Every corner of his rectangular dome chuckful of fine ideas. We often wondered how Van can be so popular at both Bulkeley and W. M. I., and at the same time keep his marks above par. MILTON KOSOWSKY (“Mashie ) Debating Squad (1) (2); Biology Club (3) (4); Classical Course. Mashie’s silver tongue and extensive vocabulary should, in some future time, help him toward attaining a position as a buttonhole salesman for a reliable concern.
