Thus far, a wonder, a prodigy, a phenomena—the shining light at the head of every- thing from bashful grammar school days up to the present. A master of the violin, wielder of a fruitful pen that will some day become famous, able with the paint brush, possessor of a grand-opera voice, and of a pliant figure that can do wonderful stunts in the dancing line. Added to the above, the only man who has graced the school building with his person every day since he first crossed its threshold ! Withal so talented that we dare not whisper in Ips presence! Of such dignified bearing that by his glance our noisy chatter is silenced ! In no worthier hands could the class of 1910 be placed! But forget past honors, “Ros”, and plod on—the love of this class goes with you.
