-.em The train jerked to a stop and out onto the cinder platform stepped the lad from the Middle West. When the rest of the class had met him, they decided that he was such a unique thing that he should be the first class president and sit where they could all study him without any over-bearing interest. After the first experience he never became president again! Just as everyone was getting used to the new way of life, Baseball season opened and this lad could be seen throwing himself into a sore arm while Coach Samuels called the curses of heaven down upon his curly head for not throwing a straight ball. The Gleaner also captivated his interest, and soon thereafter the magazine was peppered with his unmistakable style. Ike served as Freshman and Junior football manager, watching his team score two successive undefeated seasons. When football again opened in his Senior year with all its gory glory, Zeke was made. Co-captain of the fourteen man team. And once again the fighting hearts finished the season with an unbeaten score. He and his colleague did a very fine job in the poultry department where they spent their last year at school. It was hard work and the department saw many dishearten- ing accidents befall them. When the most beautiful Spring of the three years brought Baseball to the limelight, it found Zeke behind the plate for the first time. This change of positions pleased the Gods and no longer did the wrath of heaven befall his head. When the draft board asked him if he would kindly come to a little shin-dig in Allen- town, Penna., at his earliest convenience, Zeke agreed. They turned, him down, however, because of schizophrenia. He spent most of his jolly hours impersonating everyone in school, writing dizzy songs and plays, and crazy poems. He never knew whether he was coming or going, so they turned hi personality charge. Ike became Senior and a bit of responsibility and sophistication entered his pi ality. He no longer threw erasers in classrooms or played with blocks and did his classmates, but he turned his attention to formulae, embryology and the racing forms. Thus we leave Zeke, Ike, Danenberg to follow success, to scratch around contentedly in the soft wa

M ummer Irv is probably the most difficult person to write about. He was in so many activities and held so many positions in the school that one hardly knows where to begin. During the first year he worked himself into the upperclassmen clique, and showed only partial interest in his kinsman class. But with the event of the Senior year, Irv buckled down to class and school activities with such interest and diligence that he immedi- ately became known as the class statesman. Although he still needs a good deal of polishing and smoothing of the rough edges, no one will deny that this inherent characteristic (diplomacy) is second to none. And, these natural resources being recognized, he was voted president of the Council and Varsity Club and Head Waiter. Irv has majored in Poultry Husbandry and has done well in the department despite the distracting influences of the many extra-curricular activities in which he partook. He played Varsity football for two years and the last year saw him co-captain of the team. Hammer is not a fly-by-night, no, he is prudent and discrete. His plans to develop his New York farm into a poultry enterprise have been carefully reviewed, and the termination of the war will find him on the brink of his practical agricultural career. After all his wanderings we believe that Irv has finally found someone to share his life and fortune. Perhaps we are one step ahead of ourselves, perhaps we are only speculating, but nevertheless we wish you, Irv, all the good fortune in the world.
