For two years. now we've thrilled to the musical tinkle -of his clear, silvery-what shall we call it-giggle? J ack's laugh is so cliaracteristic of himself-happy, breezy, friendly. VVe've yet to see him without a smileg the silence would be oppressive without his risible whinny. It is an accepted part of him. VVhat if the class room is calling? Jack's thoughts will persist in flying to Fenway Park. He has the statistics of every man in baseball even to the size of their bats. Of course English memory--. Ever since the day he blew in like a breeze from his old western town we have learned to welcome him.. For 4fElias is the enact counterpart of an all-round good fellow and we know We will truly miss him, his contagious smile and friendly laugh.

Andy is John Q. Labor himself, he just dotes on work and then asks for more. Andy be-gan as a member of our original class and all we old members remember that from the earliest days Andy has burned up the corridors, running about on one errand or another. Living near the school has its drawbacks, but Andy has met them all with that far-famed grin of his. He and the Swede certainly handled the stage managing of our high school plays with the rare skill of professionals. Those same fingers that fixed scenic effects' also tossed a me-an basketball, Andy deserved a place on the high school team but oh wfell. Well, Andy, when you're a famous electrical engineer or contractor, look us up and renew our old acquaintance or rather friendship.
