He was not only Secretary of the Philomathean Society, but he also carried off third prize in the Prize Debate in which he pleaded eloquently for independence for the Filipinos. Tom fought bravely for the Old School on the soccer Held, but it is in con- nection with the basketball team that he is best known. This versatile athlete also graced the cinder track and the dusty diamond. VVho will ever forget the way in which he led our team on to victory over Haverford, Penn Charter and Chestnut Hill last fall as cheerleader? It is no wonder that there were so many thrills and patterings of hearts among the female spectators. He is a very good student. He has also showed his school spirit as Business Nlanager of the ,Wonrl1ly, which he seems to have conducted on a more secure basis than in times gone by. Indeed his qualities of managership and leadership have been very apparent in the way in which he has managed the class since the hrst form. Tom has been long the school model for an all-around man, since he won the Kershaw medal in the Intermediate. This fact is so apparent now that he was given a four-year scholarship to VVesleyan. If you do not believe all these things, ask him. w-, 1 v-vv-vvvvvvvvvv- vvrffvvgg.-,-v.,

4.1.4-4p+-AY,YAVAAAAi, J YM Entered l9l6 Class Treasurer, '26, '27 Senior Dance, Music Committee Track Team, '26 GUERDON RICHARDS This taciturn young man who has collected so much pecuniary substance from the boys, although the huge funds in his keeping might have led many to unscrup- ulous embezzlement, has never once departed from the straight and narrow path. He has faithfully collected the dues for two years. He sets the style in hats for the school, appearing every week in :1 new Stetson. He has greatly relieved the minds of the student body when he has gallantly pre- sented specimens to members of the Faculty. Lafayette is to be congratulated on obtaining so able a Hnancier.
