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

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
