In carrying out the duties of this posi- tion, a monitor encounters many difficult situa- tions when friendship and obligation meet at cross purposes. It is noteworthy that the moni- tors ot woo-09 have succeeded in administering all their tasks without antagonizing anyone ex- cept the most persistent trouble-makers. In all the phases of their influence-supervising study halls, keeping dorm, and upholding all the ideals for which the High School stands, they have served as fine examples for the younger boys and have reflected much credit on the school as a whole. It is hoped that in each succeeding year the leaders of the school will be as clear- sighted, as unprejudiced, and as faithful as this year's group has been. en ior , cal 0 Seated: Robinson fsecretary-treasurer and valedictorianl, I.

This year a group con- sisting of seven boys, including the Head and Senior Monitors, had the ticklish job of handling all reported violations of the Honor Code. It is the duty of the Committee and its faculty advisors to hear each case individually, talk with those concemed, and reach a decision which is reported to the Headmaster for his action. Since the Honor Committee may recommend expulsion, it is necessary that each case be handled in a most mature and intelligent fashion, something that has always been a marked characteristic of the Honor Committee. Seated: Thompson. Standing: Flippin, Bass. Nisbet, enior oniford Each summer when the monitors for the coming session are notified of their appoint- ments, they are asked to nominate one choice for Head Monitor and four for Senior Monitors. Out of this intra-monitorial election emerge the Senior Monitors, or S.M.'s for the next year. To these boys is handed the job of acting as a kind of executive board for the monitors them- selves, and serving as intermediaries between the faculty and student body. The supervision of the rat system is in their hands also, and any new boy whose attitude needs correction is brought before this group for the purpose of trying to make him understand and follow the aims of the school. These jobs of ceaseless attention and time-consuming conferences this year have been carried out with a fine touch of maturity and forethought by john Thompson and his assistants.

Lenox is probably best known around the cam us for his broad smile, which, combined with the effect of his braces, has earned him such nicknames as Buick and Silvermouth. Certainly one of the most friendly boys on the Hill, he is also one of the most talkative. His voice can be frequently heard throughout all McGuire Hall. He possesses a very quick mind, particularly in math, and aca- demically has becol gon e leadi members of t class. He is quite a master at the fin art of c cealin n dorm. ardent Duke University fan, he likes t rguc eernin ie merits of lue Devil teams.

Moon-mouthf, probably the funniest person in school. has that admirable quality of being able to see everything in a humorous vein-sometimes to the detriment of those that are on the receiving end of his brand of fun. XVith his devil-may-care attitude, Ceorgc would not seem to be conscientious-and he isnitg but with his quick mind, only a minimum of work is required for the magic 75. An outstanding football player, he was one of the hardest runners in the backfield and will be long remembered for his breakaway run in the A.M.A. game. Flashy basketball player-in the Sunday night semi-pro league-he made the easy ones look hard and the hard ones look easy-which in a sense is his whole philosophy. As Ceorge leaves with his black glasses and ready quip, the High School loses a leaky pool player and an outstanding High Priest of Egypt.
