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

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

Charss” started way back in the dark ages when Blake was winning debates and having Senior privileges. During all his struggles he has preserved a go-gel-’em spirit that has seen him through many a tight hole. As Head of the School he has encountered endless difficulties such as delivering fiery harangues to an unreceptive student body and presenting heart-rending appeals to an equally unreceptive Headmaster. His work as business manager of the Publications Board alone might be enough to insure his everlasting fame if his unique orthography had not already rendered his name certain of immortality. But it is as head waiter that he shines. The wav he has acquitted himself on various and sundry occasions when McRae dropped a trayful of desserts or when Van Dusen choked on a loaf of bread is wonderful to relate. And as for the graceful manner in which he tossed a doughnut to Spike Richardson when the latter fell into the milk pitcher—! His entire conduct as seneschal is indicative of the spirit in which he does everything. Seriously speaking, vc arc sorry to see him go and we arc sure that, leaving the Noble Lowers, he will carry on in the manner in which he has gone through Blake. Page I, wentu four
