Noise issues forth from East 236, a blond tousled head sticks sheepishly out the door, but Greenie gets away with it once more. A fun-lover, Bob can be seen in any prank that comes up on second Ark.

HARRY KLEBER HERRICK 1105 Worthington Street Springfield, Mass. Harry is a cross between an Ipana ad and the proverbial man of distinction picture with his ever-ready smile and sense of humor always present at any time of the day. During his Eve years at Blair he has established a reputation for being a man with a purpose, but just what it is we haven't learned, unless it is to be the poor man's Bill Stern.

WILLIAM ELLIOT HOPLER 19 Sherman Place Morristown, N. J. Good marks and a good guy, that's the way boys describe our Bill.
