ARTHUR HICK (“Farmer' ) Classical Course Radio Club (3): Merchant of Venice (2). Although the World War has now been over for quite a number of years, “Farmer promises us that another will come along soon. In this next war “Farmer’ says that he will be the Commander-in-chief, or there will he something radically wrong. We all know how he has already distinguished himself in military tactics, being one of the foremost Boy Scouts in the city. TORBJORN E. HOLT (“Torb”) Classical Course Annual Hoard (4); Assistant Track Manager (3): Manager (4) ; Business Manager, “Bulbul”; Junior Review. “Torbie wasn't with us last year. No, he decided that he'd go South, and he cleaned up a few million and incidentally started the Florida boom, lie's another one of the old timers, hut lie's reliable, capable, and mysterious. At least, it's a mystery to us how he gets those marks. WILLIAM H. JACQUES (“Willie”) Classical Course Radio Club; Pot Pourri. “Willie sports a French name, but since he does not get along well with the French language, he must be pretty far removed. One good thing about “Willie” is that he has a car which will go almost anywhere. This is of great advantage to him since he can thereby go to many out-of-town games without expense to himself. He just dotes on telling funny stories, but most of them concern the happenings at the “Y . LOUIS KERRIDGE (“Louie”) Classical Course Junior Prom Committee; Senior Dance Committee; Bulbul (4); Pot Pourri (2); The Nautical Knot (3); Dramatic Club; Treasurer (2). “Louie” measures up to the necessary qualifications for a lady-killer, in fact, he's the class lady-killer. But for all that, lie's a hard worker, tackling everything he undertakes wholeheartedly, and for this reason he has sure been an asset to the class. But we don t have to do his shouting for him, since he can do all that himself quite well.

MORRIS S. FRAZIER (“Sky,” “Legs’) Commercial Course Pot Pourri (1), (3). “Alie ’ Lincoln was not the only tall and famous man in this country. “Sky” is just as lanky, if not more so. and his fame rests upon his coming to school late practically every morning. This, of course, makes him a permanent visitor at the seventh period. He also contributed his share to the Community Chest. It's a good thing that the Chest does not have to fit out fellows like “Sky,” for they would run out of material in merely clothing his nether extremities. PHILIP CRAY (“Flip ) Classical Course Football (1), (2), (3), (4); Track (2), (3), (4); Annual Hoard (4). Mystic should certainly he proud of this illustrious son. As an athlete he captained the football team. Besides being an all-around man of ability in athletics, “Flip is an artist and professes to be a “woman-hater, as to the truth of which we are unable to vouch. He is at least not averse to dancing. and he shakes a mean leg. WALTER R. GRUBNER (“Grubber”) Classical Course Budget Committee (4). “Grubber” first broke into our Hall of Fame by his high scholastic standing. Heretofore he has been relatively quiet, but during the last half year be has been getting more and more boisterous. Ibis may be due to some associations he has contracted. We are proud of him though, for he has passed all the college hoard exams so far. If anyone shows you something that “Grubber has done, you can be pretty sure that's it’s right. WILLIAM HASKELL (“Bill”) Classical Course Biology Club. There is one place where “Bill” does shine. That is the school lunch counter at noon. “Bill” says that lie believes in supporting athletics, consequently he eats as much or more than two others. “Bill has established the reputation of being the source of a long line (of bunk). Last summer Bill worked on board a ship. We wonder just what kind of a job he had?

WILLIAM LARI MORE (“Larrie”) Classical Course Larimore came here after the Christmas holidays from California. From all appearances, it seems that a pood many people are emigrating from the land of eternal sunshine to the “City by the Sound” (not meaning hy the noise). WILLIAM LUBCHANSKY (“Willie”) Classical Course Football (4). Who ever though of duhhing this husky fellow “Willie' ? When we first heard the name we looked to see some little w'eakling walk in, hut who should enter hut our beloved “Willie.” Nothing weak about this fellow. He practiced faithfully with the football squad this year, thus helping the team to gain many of its victories. ALBERT M ENG HI (“Ming ) Commercial Course Football (3), (4); Baseball (3), (4); Track (3). In the not-far-distant future we are likely to get considerable fame, for “Ming” is on the way to become a pugilist. This winter he knocked one of his opponents so cold, the said opponent thought that he had gone to the North Pole in his pajamas. “Ming starred in the football team for two consecutive years, proving to he one of our most valuable players. f RALPH J. MINUCCI (“Ling”) Commercial Course “Lings popularity with the fair sex is unquestionable. What feminine eyes could resist those handsome features and that dark wavy hair of his? Once we overheard him state that the reason he never goes to the movies was because he could always look in the mirror and get a good laugh. But good looks are no handicap, although many a good fellow has been ruined when he found he was the possessor of a handsome visage. But not so “Ling.”
