Frank is our musician and he and his Stradivarius', are destined to take their niche in the liall of music fame. They say that he charms all the cattle and poultry down on his lValtha.1n farm by the simple lure of his beautiful, sleep-inducing music, while his haunting strains at thehour of dawn bid the whole world arise. Frank is a good student and a charter member of the original class, 11l2lSi'91'plQC9S from his pen have found their way to the sacred pages of t11e Botolphian. fThen, too, l1e has held sway in the debating societies and many a bitter question he has battled through in masterly fashionf He has always been trooping along with the honor men. A good-mixer, straiglltforward and sincere, he is held in higl1 regard by all his fellows.

M. doesn't. stand for f'Please Misterj, as McCrohan would say, nor does: it refer to Bill's office hours, it 1ll921.1lS, kind friends, Post Master. Yes, Bill is one of the big men i11 Uncle Sam's employ, were it not for him, the postal syste1n,lthe infernal for is it internal?j revenue and perhaps even the government itself, would go on the rocks. But all joking aside- fyes Mecca, We have been trying to jokell-Bill, since the day he breezed in last September has been a welcome addition to our class. VVe welcomed his jovial, friendly disposition, cheery smile, and classic features. Bill looks more like a Grecian god than Kid Apollo himself. No, don't blush, Bill., it7s a sin to be as modest as you are. He had insuperable ditticulties to overcome this year-owing to his neighbor- hood, but he met them like a man and came through with tlying colors. Well, Adios,fWilliam, as We said in tl1e Spanish class, we hope to meet again.

Austin. He is a boy that has made school history 5 his name Will be remembered and honored for time immeniorial at B. C. H. Our rabid scholars will point with pride to his oratorical prowess, his debating abilities, his theatrical art, his mighty pen-oh, Why go on? Austin led in everything. Then those among us who prize studies less highly fit there be any so base!5 will recall the day when the undaunted J . Austin single-handed captured an armed desperado, they will re- member too his gluttonous appetite and fiendish pursual ot' innocent apples. He has be-en Vice-President ofso many societies that every bank in the city is bidding for his services. Austie was in every- thing-from prize debater in t.he Bapst to organist in the Sodality. And then these football stars grumble about their Uworld' for the school! Watch J. Austin, if ever a man is destined to succeed it is he. A brilliant scholar, a man of purpose, a loyal friend and 'com- rade, he should proceed far in whatever channel of life he follows.
