John has built himself quite a reputation by winning several prize essays.

He is interested in science, and has read a good deal about radio, electricity, and the photo-electric cell. Red and Gray 3, 4, Round Table 4. Roderic Alfred Durling Cheerfulness is the sign of wisdom. Rod is one of those persons who make themselves felt rather than heard. He sings second tenor in the Glee Club.

Durward Wells Eastman Jesters do often prove prophets. A mighty hunter he! Durward, according to all reports, is a regular Nimrod, who during the hunting season can be seen al- most any day roaming the forests in pursuit of his favorite sport. The stories which he relates of his prowess as a huntsman help relieve the monotony of the school day, for the least of them is suffi- cient to liven the dullest moment.

During the afternoon Robert works for a beverage company, making soda. For his future work he intends to study accounting. Ernest Michael DiGeronimo A well-bred man is always sociable and complaisant. Ernie is that rare type of person who can, at the same time, be a good athlete and a high honor student.

Nevertheless when he is playing football he is 150 pounds of dynamite in the shape of a fighting full back. Outside of school hours he is employed at DiNinno's Market.
