CHESTNUT HILL ACADEMY PAUL MONTAGU STURCES Bidgley Manor, Stone Ridge, New York Age 17 Entered School 1921 HWiSli0I1l and spirit of the universe! Thou soul that art eternity of thoughtfi -WILLIAM Wormswoaru Football Team, '30, Manager of Track, 730, Campus Lantern Board, '29, '30, '31, Wissahickon Board, '31, CAERULEAN Board, '31, Glee Club, '30, '31, Senior Dance Committee, 731, Class Day Committee, '31, No doubt every preparatory school has its dissenting faction, its enfant terrible, its bolshevist, or what have you, but I don't think any of them, in Philadelphia and vicinity at any rate, can produce one quite so radical as this fiery-haired, fiery- tongued orator of ours. Paul is willing to debate on any subject at any time. That is, provided he is allowed to take the negative of the popular belief. Except for a firm belief that every one else is laboring under a series of de- lusions and at quite a disadvantage mentally, Paul is one of the best. He is always ready to lend a hand to a fellow in distress, and is probably the most sincere boy in the Upper School. Best of luck, Paul, and may the success you are bound to achieve come soon. In future life beware of box-cars and snakeas orbits. We all know that gambleris blood is prevalent in your veins.

THE CAERULEAN EDWARD RAYMOND READER 195 Sherman Ave., New Haven, Conn. Age 18 Entered School 1928 Fm sure care is an enemy to life?-fSHAKEsPEARE Football Team, '30, Soccer Squad, ,28, '29g Baseball Manager, '30, Track Team, ,3lg Glee Club, '28, 729, Leader, ,30-,313 Instrumental Club, '28, '29, '30. Work and play do not coincide well with Ed, so he thought it fit to abolish the former. For years Ed has won the election of the laziest man in school by a large majority. Ed's family will not like this description, so let us turn our faces towards his many accomplishments. Would you think that a fellow as large as Lightning,, would sing first tenor? But he does, and so well that this year he leads the Glee Club. Many dashing halfbacks have tried to get past this man-mountain, but woe to them. He's too big and strong, but strangely, when it comes time to carry bat-bags, etc., out to the baseball diamond his strength fails. Although Ed hails from a college city, he even thought of going as far from home as Texas to college, but his family had pity on the horses and forbade it. Nevertheless, wherever Satch'i goes, we know he will be a big success.

THE CAERULEAN PRASOB SUKHSVASTI Bangkok, Siam Age 17 Entered School 1923 And wisely tell what hour of the day the clock will strike'-BY ALGEBRA Soccer Team, '28, ,29, 730, Instrumental Club, ,29, ,30Q Class Day Com- mittee, ,31. Here, gentle reader, is our only claim to royalty. He is one of the Siamese twins you have heard so much about at Chestnut Hill Academy fthe other half attends Yale this yearl. Besides all this, Ned is a distinguished leather-pusher, both with his feet and hands. One of the mainstays on the soccer team for the past three years, and a boxer of no small renown the has posed for the Police Gazelle, on requestl, he still finds time enough to be one of the best students in the class. Ned intends to go to Princeton, where we are sure he will meet with suc- cess in many fields, certainly in mathematics, which is his strong point, as many a bungling novice has found out to his gratitude and benefit. We expect to see Ned wind up as a racing automobile driver, if nothing else. Practice makes perfect.
