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.

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.,

VVben the spirit moves him, ulglllln is one of the best in the school. He excelled in football, baseball, basketball and crew in his stay at the Old School. His latest role has been that of :1 crew man. The school owes much to the efforts of this rakish youth for the success of our first invasion of the Schuylkill. Bruin was one of the bronzed heroes who were to be seen occasionally nursing blisters on the palms of their hands. Our exceptional football team also included Bud as one of the star units. VVithout regard to his athletic ability, Bud is :1 good fellow :uid we kno he will make the grade in higher education, even though Cornell is on the top 4 W, if a hill. We are sure that he will continue there as he has in school, starring in athletics and romance Qahl 4. li -V1 v vvvvvvvvvvvvfvwvvvvvvv-vv T
