ARTHUR BRENTON BOGGS I347 De Kalb Street Norrisfown, Pa. ' Born October 12, 1912. Entered the Academy, 1927. Headmaster's Improvement Prize, 1928. Haverford. VERY class must have an enigma or it is liable to be remembered. Arthur Boggs was therefore nominated and unanimously elected by a select committee of one to be the mystery of our gather- ing. He came to Episcopal from Norristown five years ago and since then has plodded onward in unpretentious silence, working hard. He is a serious fellow but not at all dull, as the foregoing description might warrant him to be, for he is by no means devoid of a sense of humor. He is not weighty enough to try for athletic glory, but instead his energy is expended on studying-and it shows! He is proficient in all subjects, especially German, and he certainly deserves to be. His outstanding trait is his steady, persistent plugging at a thing until it is done. He plans to go to Haverford College where he threatens to make a name for himself in scholastic circles. May luck he with himl EPISCOPAL ACADEMY Twenty-five

THE 1931 TABULA Twenty-four HUGH HAYES AIKENS. JR. 25 Park Road Llanerch, Pa. Bom January 3, 1913. Entered the Academy, 1925. Football Team, 1939-30, Forestry Club, 1925-26-27-28-29-30-31. Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology. AYES is one of the larger members of our class. His stature and weight have been of great use to him on the football field, where during the past two years he has made a name for himself. He reached his peak this year when he was unanimously chosen for a position on the mythical All-Interacademic League team. Al- though Hayes goes in for the other sports, he is not so well known as on the gridiron. He is quite modest and blushes whenever any mention is made of the feats which he has accomplished. In his studies, Hayes always hovers nears the top of the class. No matter what the task which confronts him may be, he always attacks it severely and gives it his whole-hearted attention. At times, his brain seems to be functioning far above par, and it is at times such as these that he surprises everybody by making grades and accomplishing things which are much better than those of any one else. Hayes is content when he can work on an automobile or tinker with some mechanical appliance. He is going to M. I. T. where he intends to take up engineering in a serious way.

THE I93I TABULA Twenty-six JOHN BOOGHER Havre De Graco, Maryland Born August 6, 1913. Entered the Academy, 1928. Forestry Club, 1929-30-31, Camera Club, 1929-30-31, Scholium Board, Assistant Business Manager, 1929, Editor-in-Chief, 1930, Press Association, 1929-30-31, TABULA Board, Class Treasurer, 1930-31. Princeton. ND here is Mr. Boogher. Johnnie has become one of the most important members of the school since his arrival not so many years ago, for he has risen to be the Editor-in-Chief of the Scholium fwhich, by the way, he has managed splendidlyj and was this year elected treasurer of the Sixth Upper. By fifty he will probably be one of those grand old Southern cunnels. He is one now in all but the linen duster and little goatee. His power of arguing for shall we call it debatingl is considerable, his deep bass forming a perfect background for his dry, pithy statements. As might be expected, John has a rather hard time satisfying the demands of both teachers and magazine, but somehow or other he seems to be able to pull through. Sometimes it's a pretty narrow squeak, but he, I suppose, has the same power over the Fates as did his friend Aeneas, for he manages to slide past. We sincerely hope that his talents will be appreciated as they deserve at his chosen college-Princeton.
