We expect next year to hear that Johnnie has taken a trip to Scotland. Football (2-3-4), Basketball (2-3-4), Baseball (2-3-4).

Russell Kendall Davis Thy modesty's a candle to thy merit. Russell is one of the fortunate few who ha c developed their h()lib ' to such a state of perfec- tion as to enable them to rely on it as a source of gainful employment. Cartooning is Russell's particular hobby. His patient efforts and steadv practice coupled with his inherent ability have laid a firm foundation leading to a successful career. Livio Gerald DeBonis While 1 am master of my sivord, I shall nei'er think any man greater than myself. Yak is our head marshal this year, so he gets a chance to train his voice to become an auc- tioneer later — though in reality he is very much interested in landscape gardening. He is the Bill Cunningham of our Red and Gray and it was through his efforts as chairman that our Christ- mas dance was such a success. He likes to box — so watch your title, Sharkey!
