We long wondered how Joe managed to attend details so religiously for three years, and it was only after appealing to his strong sense of public service that we succeeded in learning the secret of his 5 A. M. vigor. It is this little verse which has made Joe the man he is: My cheeks are of a ruddy hue My breath like new-mown clover, I always take my morning plunge And feel refreshed all over. Joe makes no claim to brilliance, yet by persistent apprehension and consistent application of a strong will power he has developed into a hard-working reliable son of the soil. Jersey City, N. J.

A reserved youth as quiet as he is awkward, and as conscientious as he is angular. Bill is almost infallible. He was never absent from Chapel, his study periods held no vacancies, the demerit list never bore his name, he was rarely on the sick list, seldom absent from class, first man to pay Class dues, prompt at meetings; in fact it would be nearly impossible to name one act in which Bill erred. Bill has a genuine love of all flora and fauna and with such a valuable possession farm labor will be little more than play for him. ■4 25 h

Activities: Freshman Year: Class Baseball and Football. Junior Year: Class Baseball; Football and Boxing. Senior Year: Inter-Dorm Baseball. John Hot from Tulsa. Itchy came here an ideal- ist, to learn agriculture and display pitching ability as yet unseen in these parts. However, Miss Tulsa ' s winning of the . tlantic City Beauty Contest was too much for him and proved his ultimate downfall. Despite this publicity, modest Irwin displayed delicate wit and when he left us, to occupy the hospital, we keenly felt his absence. It is hard to forget the lay of his return which introduced a vogue rich in such Itchian phrases as go visit a herring! and kiss a lily . This Westerner made pleasant many of our dull classes and . . . . room sessions. H. RRY BRICK Brickie Philadelphia, Pa.

For three years Harry has dominated as a person of wit and humor, and, to quote that literary luminary, Sara . brams, he is ever wont to wax ludicrous . . s the Barometer predicts storms, so likewise Harry senses forthcoming disasters or festive occa- sions; and he always proved adequate to the situa- tion, which is no mean achievement in a school so susceptible to radical class demonstrations. In addition to powers of clairvoyancy Bricky wielded a wicked bat on the diamond, and as an infielder he passed both the ability and wit of Nick . ltrock. Brick will surely laugh liimself through anv latitude. 4 24 h-

Johnny came to us from C. H. S. with a notable football record. When the first call of football was made, all eyes turned toward the titleholder. After watching Johnny for two seasons we were convinced that Philadelphia knew football, and as a result Johnny was selected to pilot the 1927 team, now history. Johnny ' s natural aggressiveness and impressive bulk cast fear in many hearts. Yet, when we came to know him we found him to be much like the big brown playful bear who only means to kiss you. With so noble a record Johnny will undoubtedl.v continue through life playing hard and winning. PHILU ' N. ELLIOT Salisbury, ■NId.

Stud comes from a family of athletes and believe you me he can hold his own with the best of them: An extraordinary first baseman, steatly hard-tackling end, and scintilating center on the basketball court. Claiming the distinction being Captain in two sports. Basketball and Base ball. Stud won much press notice, and Farm Schoo will certainly mourn his departure. Off the athletic field Stud likewise maintained hi: popularity. Although possessed of an extrerael fiery temper, his rages were entirely spasmodic and died down after the count of ten. Stu rs apparent indifference to his surroundings merely hiil the absorbing interest with which he beheld every spectacle. -4 26 h
