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.

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.

CHESTNUT HILL ACADEMY JOHN OGDEN WHITE 46 Kellogg Street, Waterbury, Connecticut Age 20 Entered School l930 A damned saint, an honorable villain?-WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE Vice President of Class, 331, Track Squad, '30, Football Squad, ,30g CAERULEAN Board, 730, Baseball Manager, ,315 Glee Club, '30, '31, President of Proposition Club, ,3lg Student Council, '31, Football Dance Committee, '3l g Chairman of Senior Banquet Committee, '3l. lf ever, while treading the long corridors of our Alma Mater, you have chanced to run across a youth, pale of Visage, with a tousled mop of hair and a wild glare in his eye, it was undoubtedly ,lack White, the classes' craziest, by common consent. So far he has committed no serious murders, and we hope he will remain harmless for the rest of his natural life. Jack is a natural-born musician, his favorite instrument being the harp. An- other reason he is so popular is that there is usually something bright about his room. Before last year, Jackis taste in schools ran to quantity rather than quality, but last winter he showed his change of heart by coming here directly after leaving Taft. We know Jack will make a mark at Yale next year.
