Alas, how can our poor powers convey to you an impression of the Angel Child of the Senior Class? Every morning as we assemble in the august Halls of Learning we arc greeted by the shining countenance and flawless complexion of Henry Cook. At lunch, also, his face, hovering ever near, eager to serve, makes the meals more delectable. His earnest expression has often disconcerted opposing hockey players, as has his endless conversation struck dismay into the hearts of many a despairing master. In his capacity as treasurer of the Union he has displayed a singular honesty, an unaccountable disappearance of only fifty-one dollars and sixty nine cents being discovered at the end of his regime. Perhaps the fate of the sixty-nine cents may be traced to his ownership, in conjunction with Devancy, of a 1924 Ford auto. When this conveyance rolls out of the gate at the end of the drive for the last time we shall shed tears of genuine regret. Page Twenty-I Wo

A body that is like unto a beanpole, an ingratiating smile as sweet as the odor of new-mown hay. a personality like a summer breeze, and a deceptive appearance of constant industry: that is Benny.“ During his two years of interment in the Blake Asylum for Manly Morons he has shown an energy and versatility that has amazed all with whom he has come in contact. The grim struggle to perfect the football team was relieved divers times by the graceful form of Benncthum. flitting hither and yon. bringing water, footballs and new paddles to the scene of the fray. At Publications Board meetings his typewriter, clicking merrily along in the manner of a train going over the rails, has raised high hopes in the breast of the harassed editor-in-chief for reams of material. However, statistics show that Benny'’ holds the Board record for the most noise and the fewest words on the typewriter. Casting aside all facetiousness, he has displayed his true worth as president of the Senior Class. He has discharged his duty faithfully and has earned the gratitude of his classmates.

What care I how fair she he? For years the graduating classes have endured Dewy's unspeakable write-ups in this here publication. Now it's our turn. He has long vented his spleen upon various departments of the school, making targets of the Seniors, the Lower School, and its brother division, the Fifth Form. This is due to the fact that he finds himself quite out of his clement in these juvenile surroundings. Nevertheless he has many times condescended to come down off his pedestal, with the results shown above beside his charming likeness. But here, we can’t go on like this. We lack our subject's vitality. His athletic prowess has been demonstrated in and on many fields (sec top of page). As Union president he attained a position second only to the organization's guiding spirit. Mr. Lamb. The Publications Board this year has produced a bumper crop of split infinitives and dangling participles, thanks to our editor, who has kept us entertained during meetings by enjoyable verses, in which he has held up the waiters, the faculty and the headmaster to ribald ridicule. When he descends upon New Haven. Dcvancy of Blake will give the college boys a real treat. Page 7 wentg- three
