Mr. Oswald faced boys from early in the morning until near sundown. In the early hours he gathered all strollers to school that he passed, and transported them roy- ally to school. In the little time he had to himself, he traveled over the country from coast to coast and took beautiful color photographs of scenery ininational forests which the school had the pleasure of seeing on several occasions. Mr. Caville and Mr. Searle also had the youth's welfare in mind fas had all the teachersj. The former coached the Rifie Team in his free hours, while the latter devoted much of his time to the ac- tivities of the NYU. Mrs. Santen continued on her golfing ways and it was authori- tatively reported that her mashie was a masherl With all the money the G. O. took in and sent out, Miss Creekpaum didn't have very much spare time. Besides, who ever said that collecting money was a bad hobby! Just to clinch the argument, notice Mr. Johnson, as thankfully as any of us, returning to his new homer in Fleetwood. The pleasure he gets from seeing an occasional pheasant or wild rabbit, or the wild ducks on the Bronx River near his home is his tonic after a hard day's work. Pop Phillips, as umpire at the Student-Faculty game was right at home exercising those famous vocal cords without restraining walls. Messrs. Cullen, Addis and Nielsen are thrilling to a ball game along with the rest of us. We didn,t suspect at the time, but realized later, that Mr. Cullen was there for the express purpose of stealing ideas to use at the Student-Faculty game. He tried to win by unique strategy and almost succeeded.
