Volume Seven THE CORRELATOR Nineteenufen JACK DANA COMSTOCK, otherwise known as the Swedish Count, was born in Quincy, Ill., in the year 1890. We cannot say at exactly what age he first began to attend U. High, but is was in the dim, dark ages, long ago. At any rate, this is the third time that Jack's beauteous face has adorned the pages of the Correlator as a Senior. He himself says that the reason for the three times is that automobiling is so much more attractive than going to school. Besides this, Jack is the champion pool player of the school. He really is quite a shark. If you don't believe it, look at the picture of the cup he won, on an- other page. Next year Jack is to go to Cornell, that is, if he graduates. Member of the U. High Club, Class Track Team i08, '09. BILLU COURTLEIGH, our star fusser and fashion model, began studying at U. High sometime in the dim past. It is said Bill' is a member of the Five-Year Club, but he will not talk on that topic, so we guess he is not. We canlt tell what his plans for the future are, because he says he must finish at U. High first. U. H. Boys' Club, '08, '09, '10, ' ARTHUR CAVANOUGH Cox. Generally distinguished as the A specimen of our complete Cox alphabet, has been the one real puzzler to the weather man for the last seventeen years. After studying conditions fhidden meaningj in Germany for his first year, Art', came to UU. High, the source of education, and has found con- ditions Calso hiddenj equally flourishing here. We have never heard Art speak German, however. He has been active in athletics and also in the'clubs and next to studying Virgil Art says that he likes to play basket- ball. If all goes well he plans to make Harvard his Alma Mater.

Volume Seven THE CORRELATOR Nineteen-Ten ALLAN CARVER has been in U. High just this last year. During this brief time he has gained great favor among students and faculty. He showed great school spirit and ability while playing on the Baseball Team. Base-' ball Team, 'l0. KATHRYN DY!-:R CLARK, one of the most popular girls at U. High, has always exhibited great school spirit. She was the Hrst to conceive the idea of a Girls' Club, which was founded in 1909 by Josephine Murison and herself. It was then called the Junior Girls' Society, and proved to be a complete success. This year, when the Girls' Club was formed, Kathryn was made its first Presi- dent. The school owes her many thanks for the splendid work she has done for the club and for her loyalty to it. She may well be proud of the results of her efforts. Daily Staff, '08, '09, 'lO.

PHEOBE CLOVER is another one of those grinds who hates to get anything under an A or B and seldom does. She is also quite prominent outside of her studies. She has always had a helping hand in class and Girls' Club affairs. Girls' Club, Phi Beta Sigma, THOMAS DANIEL COLLINS comes to U. High from the Prep school of Notre Dame University, where he at- tended school in 1907, '08, '09. He heard of U. High last year and now his friends are hearing about it. Tom is a good fellow and well liked among the fellows. He is undecided about his future, but we wish 'him the best at ljuck. Clay Club, Senior Class Baseball Team, Boys' u . 28

THE CORRELATOR Nineteen-Ten r GEORGE BURTON COX, of 521l Vlfoodlawn avenue, sometimes called Gige, is a very innocent appearing young man, but those who know him think his looks are very mis- leading. Quite true, for Gige has his foot in it most of the time and when he is quiet he is always found fussing. Although George doesn't say much or ap- pear to be mixed up in school activities, he is one of the most useful fellows in the class, and his place will be difficult to fill next year. Sophomore Year-Class Basketball. Junior Year-Class Basketball and Track Teams. Senior Year-Class Football and Track Teams, Clay Clubg Daily, Assistant Manager of Correlator. MVILLIAM CRILLY, the smallest Senior, began to come to this school when still in kilts, we truly believe. Mole- cule, for that and Runt are his -nicknames, was born in Chicago in 1894. After graduating from the Ray School, he came here. For all his diminutive stature, Crilly is all right, and is a factor to be reckoned with in school life. The one great joke of his life was when he was elected sergeant-at-arms of his class, as he was the smallest member. On leaving University High, he espects to go to Chicago. ROLAND B. DALEY, our infantissimal debating prodigy, spent his first two years, by some mistake, in the John Marshall School but being au observing child he has- tened here. Ray has proved himself to be a brilliant - 'l it.Ra lansto student and an oratoi of no htte no e y p study engineering at Cornell. W'e are confident that he will make a success.
