Oats is the class baby in point of years, but the class giant in stature with a brain to match his brawn and a voice like thunder. He will make a magnificent pleader at the bar for with such imposing stage presence, commanding voice and stern logic, he will be a winner. He has been schooled in Albuquerque since l905 except two years when he honored the colleges of St. lVlary's, Kansas, and Notre Dame with his enrollment. But with the wisdom that distinguishes this class of A. H. S., Oats returned to receive his diploma here. Unfailing good nature and original wit have and always will make him popular. A certain fair junior declares he is handsome. A lawyer who is cut out for congressional honors will be the destiny of this clean scholarly fellow.
