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 .

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.
