CREDENTIALS Football-4 Basketball Manager-4 Hi-News-4 ALFRED ALDRIDGE WILLIAMS llAldy!! - HOBART Aldy is one of the boys who tried school life away from Allendale but had to return for everybody's sake. In the old days before the Connecticut interlude, Aldy was portly and worried. Now Aldy is portly and cheerful. It is easy to explain. Who would not 'be cheerful when surrounded by friends? He made the football team and played a bangup game at tackle all fall. He has been doing track work ever since-running away from us when we tried to inveigle him into playing basketball and baseball. With the first, we com- promised by letting him act as manager. We were too tired even to compro- mise the baseball arguement. He plays tennis in that inimitable fashion which is becoming common to all Allendale tennis squads, a set and then setl,' Aldy is a fireman! Boots, ax, hat and all. He does a little skeet shooting, and has no use at all for the ladies, so he says! 28

I CREDENTIALS Columbia Supporter-4 Shadow-5 foiclockl Bull Shooter's Paradise-4 Sodus Correspondent-3, 4 i l A WHITNEY Dougie SODUS CORRESPONDENT SCHOOL If weekend motorists have winced at the sight of a reckless youth behind the wheel of a rumbling blue Fordmobile, careening Sodus-ward at the rate of 53 m.p.h., it was only Doug paying a weekly visit to a dear friend. With four acid-eaten tires, a crumbling chassis, a four squirrel-power motor, a cigarette and his love to keep him going, our devoted classmate has com- pleted a total of 996 missions to the Sodus shrine during a period of one year. Power of a woman! Recently, however, this courtly display of chivalry was rewarded when Birdseye became the proud pilot of a new Plymouth. Now this may take half the fun from his weekly pilgrimage, but Mr. Whitney re- ports he is more than satisfied with this latest acquirement. We sometimes wonder though, just who is in the driver's seat. 21

CREDENTIALS First I-Ioseman B.F.D.-4 Crisco Boy of ,47, '48 , Fairie Queen -12:30 A.M.-4 Night Skeet Champ-4 WILLIAMS Buttcrball ACADEMY OF FINE HEARTS Aldridge was rather late in learning that there are two sides to every person, and that it can become exceedingly difficult to cover them both at the same time. We are sure we cannot keep up with them, and it seems he has trouble in keeping them up. At any rate we give him credit for being a sportsman. This love for sport makes itself manifest on the skeet Helds of the Rochester Country Club, where he may be found Saturday evenings, carefully setting his sights on some new pigeon. Later during the same evenings, there are those who have seen him in rather high spirits, in a cozy establishment at the corner of Monroe Avenue and Clover Street. But since our Sandy-haired Romeo has become Ernest in his affections, he insists that he always behaves himself, and, of course, who would doubt his word? 29
