CHESTNUT HILL ACADEMY GEORGE ROADS BRIGHT Here we have Pottsville's contribution to the class of 1931. And he must hold tender sentiments for that coal-heaving populace, for any harsh word in its direc- tion is met with the fury of his eloquence. Furthermore, once he digs in to defend Pottsville or anything else, his arguments do not lack enthusiasm and sometimes even include violence. George, once he sets in to loaf, is our most accomplished loafer. On the other hand, when he decides to do something, heaven help the man in his way. Various linemen throughout the league will savagely affirm to this, after having been ex- posed to his rampagings for the past two years. There are two sides to his baseball career. With one look we see him as a brilliant fielder and a fiery chatterbox. On looking again, we see him as depicted by Mr. Robinson in that cartoon, which will go down to posterity. George himself has bemoaned this foot-in-the-bucket scene in which he tells some admiring lower schoolers how he hits home-runs. There is some doubt, George having his share of it, as to whether he will go to college or into business on leaving school. Success whatever happens, George!

From Trenton hails this man-child. He has grown up at school. ln the past year ,lack has grown rapidly, not in stature, but experience. For years he has fol- lowed the straight and narrow, but now . . . Nevertheless, everyone likes Jack, and he is now President of the Sixth Form. He has shown great prowess as an end on the football field and as an infielder on the baseball diamond. In spite of his many, many achievements, we are sad to relate that Jack is the possessor of a faint heart. Think no more of that, Jack. Another year like this last one, and youill have plenty of courage. Just keep up your weekly Wednesday pilgrimage to Philly and you'l1 turn out to be a good skate.

THE CAERULEAN JOSEPH NICHOLAS CONNORS 128 Pine Street, Lewiston, Maine With what a majesty he bears llfiIllS6lf. 1'SHAKESPEARE Football Squad, '23, Team, '29, '30, Basketball Squad, '30, Team, '31, Baseball Squad, '28, Team, '29, Captain, '30, '31, President of the Student l tion, '31, All the way from Lewiston! When ,loc left his home town, he was just an- other Maine farmer, journeying into the world of experience. He certainly has gained plenty of it, if his technical knowledge of draughts proves anything at all. Whenever we think of Joe, we think also of his cheery attitude in class. What would trignonometry be were it not for the sunshine of Joe's honest countenance and his cheery answers tusually given with a harp accompanimentl. Besides being one of the divine order destined to maintain discipline on the sixth form corridor, Joe has led the baseball team for two years, and is a member of the football and basketball teams. He is quite the all-around athlete that his cherubic visage promises. Well, Joe, we all certainly do hope that you will mick good in whatever path of life you choose to follow.
