Automobile Club President 4, Conservation Club 3, Assistant Treasurer 4, French Club 2, Football 4. The end we saw so many times tackling opposing backs and catching forward passes was none other than our Chick. Some of his energy, how- ever, he saved for the intricate problems of solid geometry and trigonometry.
