He detests Physical Training and attends all athletic contests, but he is exceptional in that he conscientiously prepares his Physics lesson every day. with more or less success. l3uck's chief delight is in kicking the football around at lunch period. and the mania is so great that he would rather pass the ball than eat. Buck is one of the most interested supporters we have. and is a veritable mine of information for scores. averages, and positions. And among Mr. liosworth's A records the name Iiucknam is by no means last. Huck is uncertain as to the future, but he will never laek friends while a member of the class of '22 is alive. Carer M.

But his value does not li-- alone in his humor. You should hear him debate! XVords fail us when we try to describe him as he eloquently convinces judges and audience that his side of the argument is the right one. Words fail US, but he has an abundance of them, which he uses to good advantage in speech and rebuttal. Calef's favorite study is Chemistry, but his averages in Physics are certainly pleasing. and in Mathematics he does excellent work. K has success- fully completed the English Course and is headed for Brown.

Introducing Mr. Burdett. literary editor of this volume. The class chose wisely when they placed Clarence in his literary posi- tion. He eats it. VVhat a task is his to sort out the indiscrim- inate jumble of manuscripts. poems. etc.. handed him daily! Yet he always appears fresh and ready, Roy is one of the select few who do their Physics out of class. He has taken a straight course of Science anfl Mathematics--and this includes Review Algebra! But such davs are over. and when he isn't digging up data for English. he indulges in lnterclass Track meets for recreation. VVe know his fine record as a scholar will stand him in good stead in years to come. Good luck, Clarence!

THE CRANSTONIAN RICHARD J. BORUEN Dick .S'111ooIl1 ruu.v the water, feherc flu' brook ix dm'f1. Boys' Athletic Association C13 C23 C33 C43 3 Thyrsus Club C23 C435 Class Treasurer C3A3 C4B33 Football Manager C433 Debate C435 Cramimzion Board C43. Here's to Dick, the youth who by uncovering his latent talent as an orator has simply swept us off our feet with astonished admiration! VVho would have thought, prior to March l7th. that this apparently timid youth had. concealed within him, the genius of an Anthony, a Cicero, or a Webster? And on the other hand. who is now willing to doubt it. after having heard him at the Debate and also in the hall in behalf of the C il'tlll.Yfl7llitIll .9 Not only are we proud of Dick for what he can and has done, but we admire him for what he is-quiet and unassuming, yet sincere, dependable. and a mighty Fine fellow. XVithout him the class of '22 would find itself with a social deficit, which would be hard to make up. As regards studies. Dick's name has never been read for an all 3A report card but we know he has the brains to do anything he wants to and we have no fear for him when he leaves Cranston. He is planning to join the fresh- men of R. l. State next fall and the very best wishes of old C. H. S. will be with him when his voice rings through the rafters at Kingston to the tune of lu good old United States. boys, let's go l H. f,iKANlflIil,l3 iiRAll3S Grannie But flmu CIl'lIItl'.Vf rfulonr, loo, mul wil.

Grannie has been with us only three years-would it had been more! Our Grannie is a most likable chap. very popular. with girls especially. His accomplishments? First: he is an actor. Remember the Thyrsus Club plays? Second: he is a star in linglish and Oral Expression. Third: he has a faculty for doing French fmirkly. The other day. he claimed he had tl0l1C six pages of French in ten minutes. Now that is morally wrong, because he can't read English that fast. Fourth: as an associate editor of this year's fiI'lIll.Vf0lll'tlll, he has displayed great ability and loyalty, and helped largely in the success of this book. lt is very likely that, after leaving us, he will study to be a Chiropractor, in which profession he will undoubtedly be most successful. l.n,I.u: Bnowx Lil utblllf' ix fvrctty fn walk reilh And witty to lull: with .ffnd plmstmt, lon, to think ou. Girls' Athletic Association C33 C433 Thyrsus Club C33 C43. Always ready for fun as well as for study is Lil. VVe don't know her as well as we should like to, because she has only been with us two years. Wherever you see Lil, you see Glad. I'm sure everyone remembers how they used to whisper and giggle up in the Millinery Class the fifth and sixth periods on Thurs- day. Lil's brown eyes just twinkle with fun. Her creditable work in the Commercial Course gives an indication of future success as a stenographer, which is her aim. Here's good luck. Lil !

All good things come in small packages. This is especially true of Dot. VVe thought her small when she entered. but now we know that she's eapable of bigger things than she looks. She has shown herself a faithful worker. and we sit back and listen when Dot translates French. But Dot is not too studious to be human. for we have sometimes heard her say that she doesn't like Latin and Geometry. But who would ever guess it? We have missed Dot the past few months. for she is a February. '22, graduate. and so she has visited us only two periods a day. I5ot is liked by all because she is so pleasant and agreeable. and a friend of all. She hopes to enter Brown in the fall and we wish her the best of success.

Then his fellow students seem to 1'f'1Y1f1' him. XVonder why? Did you experience the same difficulty when you were treasurer of the C. H. S. S. S., Bill? But besides being a finan- cial man. Bill is a wit. His humor in Physics elass is gen! erally timely and is appreciated by all except Miss Kennedy. Then. too, Cummings has succeeded well in his studies, in spite of the fact that outside of school he puts much time and effort into chess, in which game he expects to rival Capablanca one of these days. Radio also has allurements for Hill. but it must be hard for this talkative fellow to listen in. FRANK Ceurts Cute H11mi1ify ix Hn' f1lIH!dt1ff0II of all T'liI'fl1t'.

To be sure. Cute is an unassuming fellow. but perhaps that is the reason he has made so many friends at school. He can get all his studies with the exception of Ural Expression, which he thinks should he called O'er All Depression. Cute doesn't expect to go to college, but wherever he goes, we know his 'tfranknness and modesty will win him success. 4-
